Poisoned lEis Wife. Tlic Will of Hon. Wm. 11. Seward New York, October 16 — Augustus St. Clair, formerly of the New Hampshire Reporter, in a deposition before Judge Brady yesterday, swore that at the time Fisk was shot by Stokes, at the Grand Central Hotel, he saw a pistol in Fisk’s hands. He also says that the fear of ar rest prevented him from giving this in formation on the trial. John Van Syckle was arrested yester day at his residence, in Brooklyn, charged with having poisoned his wife. He had just returned from her funeral. A do mestic was also arrested. Auburn, October 15.—The will of Mr. Seward, opened to-day, is a clear, succinct document, singularly free from legal tech nicalities. and written entirely in hi* own hand. He bequeaths his late home at Au burn. with all it 9 contents and pleasant surroundings, to his three sons, by one or more of whom it will doubtless be occu pied, and it is reserved iutact, as far as possible, in its present condition. His other property consisting, in part, of se curities, but mainly of real estate in Au burn and this locality, he divides into four equal shares among his son*, Augustus, Frederick and William and his adopted daughter, Olive Risely Seward —the two last named being deputied to execute this provision of the instrument. No other legacies or bequests are made. The prop erty has not yet been appraised and it is impossible to say precisely what it amounts to. The estimates vary, but it will proba bly be not far from $200,000. CALIFORNIA. Goldsmith ITlnid and Occidout. The Turf. Sacramento, October 16. —The race between Goldsmith Maid and Occident here this afternoon, drew a crowd of ten thousand people. The race was for a purse of SIO,OOO, mile heats, best three in five. Tiie Maid was the favorite from the out set —$100 being freely staked against $55 for Occident, Both horses were in exce ■ lent trim. The morning track was m splendid condition. The weather was warm and pleasant, and a lively contest was expected. The first heat Occident drew the pole and the horses commenced scoring at half past two o’clock. Nine false Btarts were made. In scoring, Budd I)oble, driver of the Maid, always came up in front, Eofl holding Occident. Eoff was fined one hundred and fifty dollars for refusing to obey the orders of the Judges. After another false start, the horses finally got ofi on the eleventh score at 3 1-2 p. M. Occident showed a length ahead to the first quarter, time 30 3-4 seconds ; opened a gap of daylight at the half mile, time 1:07 J-4, but when ap proaching the three quarter post the Maid collared the horse and passed him. Coming down the home strech she pulled ahead Doble laying on the whip, and she passed three lengths ahead. Time 2:20 Occident’s time was 2:21 1-4 Occident be haved splendidly and was not fretted by the scoring. Neither of the horses show ed any signs of fatigue. Occident still lias many friends in the betting fraternity. SOI'TII CAROLINA. TUe election in South Carolina.

She was a sharp, talkative little creature of nine years of age, who had traveled all the way alone from Beading, Pennsylvania, paying her own way and taking care of herself the entire distance. She stated to our reporter, whose attention was called to her on the train, last evening, that she was an or phan, without any other relations than a brother, who is a ‘’pea nut merchant” on the Pennsylvania Central, and a grand mother and grandfather residing Dear Den ver, Colorado, to which place she was go ing. She carried in her little basket a let ter signed by the Mayor of Beading, Penn sylvania, asking all wham it might concern to aid the little lady in reaching her only remaining natural protectors. Mr. and Mrs. Pryor, Denver, Colorado. The little i child was made much fuss over by those in the same car, and appeared to he as hsppy as her little innocent heart could make her.

Isaacs lias catered to the wants of the traveling public; and to the farmers, the very bone ana sinew of our beloved South, he has taken special pains to make them feel at home while in the city. His tables ure tilled and the usual “allowancing” is not “allowa ble.” Indeed you get what you call for and that without stint. Now the question is: Will tie Farmers Support Him ? This question is propounded with the confl dcnce that will be announced w ith that little but expressive monosylablc which is so famil iar with young people enamored of cacti other —yes! The sturdy farmers knows too well the comfort that await him at the ISAACS HOUSE. To answer otherwise than affirmatively to the above mentioned question. While on the subject Mr. Isaacs wishes to say that Ills patronage has so Increased as to compel him to provide more ample accomnio tions, and that he has leased large and airy rooms of Huffs new building adjoining his own.
