A'nost brutal murder was committed

says that onthe morning in -,question,
a . man by the name of Hughes, and his
wife,—the former over sixty years of
age, and the latter fifty eight;—had
been indulging very freely in bad whisky
when a raw : between them ensued, the
culmination of which was the death of
the old woman from blows received
from her h isbai, d. The weapon used by
the old man: was a heavy stick about 4
feet long, and snrmunted with a heavy
brass ring. After the old villan had`
committed eel the deed,. he had careful.y)
washed the blood from the stick, but
had forgotton to scrape out a crack in
it, ' in which were sticking blood and
sn alT pieces . of hair. The, unfortunate.
woman has always borne a good.iharac
ter, and. had been the sole : support of
-her Ihusbend for over four. years.
An inquest was held, when -the Jury

Earthquake in Mexico.
SAN - FRANCISCO Jan. 9.—A letter
from Colima, Mexico, : gives an account
of a'terrible earthquake experienced in
that city on themorningof Decmber
20th. For several days .pi evious the
volcanoe of Colima, 30 miles from the
city exhibited signs of internal' coinrnc-
,.tion, sending forth smoke and steam;
accompanied by a, rumbling and shak-
ing.. of the earth, The morning of the
20th ult., was ushered by a gentle rocks
ing of the earth, which gradually increas-
ed
ncreaas-ed in violeic > until walls of houses were
cracked, and everything demolishable.
Vibrations were from the Nortli-East
to South. West, and lasted nearly 40
seconds. The Cathedral, werehouses,
and .seveial brick buildings were crack

George Dunn's house ; and Robert
Dunn, by way of a practical joke, as
he appears to have thought it, got hold
of the snake and, put it into the bed
with •°avers while he was asleep, actu-
ally drawing it ;across his face for the
purpose of awakening him. Lavers, of
course, awoke, and finding the loath-
some
oathsome reptile in such close proximity to
his person, was thrown into a state of
great terror. . Strange to say, however,
for this `filthy assault, Dunn was allow-
ed to go unpunished, which was more
than he deserved. It - was, to say the
least. a most wonton assault, and might
have resulted in serious consequences

act is fit to be entrested with a license

The Montreal. Bank itobbed of
$50,000
• At St. C utherines, on the night of the
111h hiss, some parties, by .means of a
false key, entered the- bank. Their
attention was immediately given to the
safe, to the outside door of which they
appear to Katie had a key. Nitro-gly-
ceren:e, it is supposed, was then applied
to the lock of the inner door. Before
the explosion, the outer door of the
safe was closed, so as to. deaden , the re-
port in a great measure. The explosi-
on seemed to have scattered the gold,
of which there, was quite a . quantity,
over the floor..` The robbers. however,
paid but little attention to this coin, as
they y seized some fifty thousand dollars
in bills, which the safe contained;, and
then giickly, made their 'escape: A
boy named: Kerrigan, who sleeps in the
bank, came in about ten o'clock ; and
on perceiving the gold and debris of the
explosion lying around, quickly. gave
t re alarm; and ,the building was soon
fi led with a surging crowd, The
w Tole affair appeared to be -the work of
ofessional robbers, and was icanaged
