The. condition of Mysera continues critical.

K ' . The people are -feeling still more the continued pressnre of high prices. The difficulty in Bombay is aggra vated by the state of Madras and Nizcane, and the inability of the rail road to bring forward grain sufficient for the great demand.

A Man murders tola Own Brother-IB- -it tiw-Th murderer malces bla Ea cape Offleera on Iila Track Terrible . Appearance of the murdered man. Our usually quiet city was the scene last night, about 10 o'clock, of one of the most horrible murders It has ever been our ill- fortune to chronicle. It seems that Elijah Keeter, a well known, fisherman of this city, and ' Peter Robinson, a painter . by trade, the latter having married the sister of the former, were residing in the same house, together with their respective fami lies, on Fourth, between Nun and Church streets. Mr. W. W. Register, who was present, states that Keeter eame in about 10 o'clock.and went into tho room occupied by Robinson, who had retired to his bed. Mr. Register, who was seated on the piazza at the time,; beard some words passing between the two, " the matter' in .dispute being about house rent, and "heard Keeter re-. mark to Robinson "You d n s n of a b h, you want to fight me," to which Ro binson replied, 'If I am a s n of a b b, you are a gentleman 1" Mr: Register says that, thinking it was a family quarrel, and that be had no business there, he concluded to leave,' and got : up tor ' that ; purpose. when he heard . Mrs. Robinson. ; who .ii'..'i,i,a call ior neip. was in. au adjoining room, Ho thereupon rushed into the room where the two men were and found them clenched. Seizing Keeter, he drew him away from Robinson and out of the room, taking "him tothe front' piazza, Keeter in J the meantime insisting that he (Register) should let him go. As Register bore Keeter from the room Mrs. Robinson entered it, and found her husband lying upon his face on the floor, apparently lifeless. She took hold of har husband and turned him about, When she discovered his condition, upon which slie cried out, "O, my God, he is cut all to pieces!" Hearing this, Mr. Reg ister, who was still on the piazza, rushed back into the room where' Robinson was, and Keeter departed in the direction of the front gate. Upon re entering the room Mr.' Register found that Mr. Robinson had been mortally wounded, Keeter having cut him twice in the abdomen, making a deep and ghastly wound, which: extended .entirely across the fore part of the body, and from Which the entrails of the unfortunate man were protruding. He was still breathing, but never uttered a word after his wife-and Mr. Register entered tbe room, expiring after a few gasps and moans. ' : ' 1 -' Up to this time there had been no outcry or disturbance to attract a crowd, but in formation of , the . horrible affair soon got upon the streets and members of the police jorce auu oiuers maue ineir appearance. -a. J .a " : V.'v .Keeter," the murderer, had, however, made good his escape, and at last accounts no trace of him had been discovered, though officers were in search of him.- ; The .murdered man leaves a wife and four children to mourn the sad fate of the unfortunate husband and father. We learn that both Keeter and Robinson had been drinking to some extent, though neither of them were intoxicated. Previous to this, it appears, the two'men had been on good terms, suffering only a slight in terruption to their friendship some months ago, which had apparently been forgotten. Coroner Hewlett was notified of the cir cumstance of the homicide last night, and will bold an inquest over the body of the deceased this morning. Deceased Is said to have been about thirty-six years of age, though he looked somewhat older. Gone to Hie Kent. ' In the New York papers we find the an nouncement of the death of . Mr. Benjamin Blossom, which occurred in Brooklyn on Monday, the 13th inst., in the 88th year of his age. Deceased was the father of Mr. Josiah K. Blossom, fornierly Of this city. and one -of the firm of J. It. Blossom & Evans, the junior member of which (Mr. Thos. Evans) resides in Wilmington and the senior in Brooklyn. At a meeting : of the Brooklyn Naval Stores Trade, held on Tues" day, it was resolved "that we, the mem bers of the Naval Stores Trade, who have known him for many years, testify our high appreciation of his character in every rela tion in life, and whilst 'deploring his loss, hope that his example will be long held as a precious heirloom for us to emulate and follow." ' A RIoueter Snake. Intelligenee was received here yesterday, from a reliable source, to' the effect that a monster snake was killed near a place called Beasly Hole, ashort distance from Burgaw, Pender county,' w Thursday last His snakeship is. supposed to be a species of the anaconda, being about thirty feet in length and larger around the middle than a man's body. When discovered and killed he.was in the act of swallowing a yearling deer,, about one-half of which bad . disap peared in his ctfpacious ' mouth. ' This, we acknowledge, is a prodigious snake story for these parts, but stranger things have happened, and Mr, L H. Brown, Register of Deeds in Pender, who brings the news, though he did not see the snake, seems .to have no doubt of its correctness. K1VBB ANDMARiriB ITB11IS. : - The schr. 3.

R. 1S77 TV) OUR AGENTS : X The lecent disaatrona fire at St. John, N. B, has furnished another illustration of the strength of this Company and of the ample se curity it affords.. The fire occurred on tbe 20-21 of June, and all the claims 123 in number, amounting to $465,151 .83 were all adjusted and paid in fall on or oiore uie dutn or j uiy. This large sum was paid, in addition to all the or dinary losses and expenses, out of the surplus pre miums of the first half of the ttresent Year. The Company's Assets, as reported on the 1st of .January last, bo lar irom Deing reduced, have been increased by our whole interest income, and by the surplus premiums remaining after the , -payment of all ordinary and extraerdinarr losses and exrjenses: thus affording striking evidence of the imDortant advantage enjoyed by a comDanv whose operations are not restricted to one country, but extend all over tbe world -disaster and loss in one branch or district being more than met and compensated by success and eain in others. I am greaUr pleased on beine able to contrratnlate you on oar contribution to this highly satisfactory result, the Fire Premiums of this Branch for the nrsi nair or tne "present year having yielded a net surplus over ail losses and expenses of $316,135.63. . . ; iAMJa E. rulaBFORD, .
