New York possesses queer people, as well as California, although this State takes the lead in crime of a perfectly unique character. However, one Charles A. Freeman, of Syra cuse, New York, has just confessed to put ting an obstruction on a railroad track, and sending a heavy passenger train down an embankment. He declared that he had a spite against tho whole Catholic raoe, and he wa« bound to exterminate every man, woman,, and child of that religion. He avers that the train was loaded with Catholics, and hifi object was to kill off the whole lot. Most likely he is a lunatic. He was near being lynched, and this leads to the remark that lynching has been pretty frequent last month.
