The sale commenced by Geiger, who 'acted as auctioneer, announcing that he was now ready to receive bids, and in or der to• stimulate bidders and enhance in their eyes the value of the "chattel," he stated that although he was "very much tired" of the woman, she was mighty nice, and well worth the price he asked for her, $250.

AN Acr OF CRUELTY.—Chipped hands and faces are the most serious annoyance that farmers, and people who labor much out of doors, experience from exposure.— Exposed persons, especially children, re . peatedly suffer intensely from great cracks upon the hands, that often bleed. It is cruel to allow one's self or others to suffer in this way, when the means of positive preveutiou are so easy to be had, and so cheaply, as to pay ten cents for a cake of Hand Sapolio. Hand &polio is not only better than the costliest soap for ranoving dirt, but it prevents chipping, and renders tile skin soft and pliable. Sold every where. SARNIA, Canada, June 19.

A letter from Thorndike, New Hamp shire, gives the details of the recent hor rible tripled near that uiet vilktge : .ny years ago Mr. John or on, a most estimable and industrious man, came to Thorndike here to make his home and rear his family. He improved his land, and soon built up one of the handsomest places in the county. He had five sons; one died at home, one in a Confederate prison during the war, but Erastus, Al mon, and John True Gordon, the mur dered, stayed at home. The old gentle man began to feel his age, and, to help his boys along, some 8 years ago he gave his place to Erastus on condition that him ' self and his wife should be supported by him; trouble arose, and Mr. Gordon re sumed possession o f property. A few years ago Almon, the yodngest of the sons, married a girl of the neighborhood, and the match was so well liked by the parents that the estate was turned over to the young man on terms similar to those upon which Erastus had received it. As years went on, three children were born to the happy couple. The conditions of the compact were ,carried out, both in spirit and letter, and the aged couple were blest in their children and children's children. But jealously of his brother was at work in the breast of John, who looked upon Almon as one who had cheat ed him out of his birth-rig ht. He work ed on the farm with envy in his heart ; he was surly and ill-mannered, but no one looked upon him as capable of becoming a fratricide, an incendiary, and the mur derer of innocent children. Last week the deed conveying the propeity to Al-- 1 I mon were put ou record, and the old gen tleman and his wife went on a visit to Bangor. The last hope of reversing . the decision of the father—and it was a righ teous decision, for Almon was prudent, steady, married, and had a family . to sup port, while John resembled him in none of these particulars—left -John, and he de- . termined upon revenge. The division of the property' had been determined, upon when he was away from home, and this. too, galled him; and this was the cause of the tragedy, which has dazed the little village, of Thorndike, and will ever re main its one tale of horror. The house where the Gordon family were murdered is situated on the top of a steep hill, in plain view of Thorndike sta tion. It is two stories high, containing twelve rooms, with an L and a long shed extending to the barn. All the buildings are connected together, and all painted white except the barn, presenting an ele gant farm-like appearance. The green and luxuriant fields were broad and beau tiful, fringed around with a magnificent forest. A large orchard stands in the rear of the•hoase. The whole appearance is one of comfort, neatness and thrift. The Corner's inquest was in session when I entered, taking evidence, and was about adjourning to meet again on Saturday next. Suspicion had naturally fallen up on the son, named John T. Gorden, who was under arrest, and with others had giv en testimony in the case. The prisoner was greatly agitated, weeping and ejacu lating, prot es ting his innocence, and ap parently bewildered at what was going on around him. His hands and a portion of his clothing were covered with blood.— He is twenty-eight years old, and bears a bad character, and calls himself a spirit ualist. The sleeping room of the prisoner was in the second story, to the left of the stairs. It was a comfortable room, containing a bed, bureau, Bible, chairs and other con veniences. ltarks of fingers stained with blood were visible upon the jambs of two doors leading from the room, showing that if he did the bloody work, he returned to his room after its execution. Directly in the rear of this room was a smaller bed room, occupied bit hired man by the the name of Ward. Ward states that he was aroused from sleep about Three o'clock A. M., by the cry of some one below.— On . going down stairs, and passing thr'o ,COMDfUIgiCA.TED. the prisoner's room, he found him missing, and discovering the house to be on fire, he shouted "John," many times, but got no answer. The nearest neighbor, Mr. Har mon, was aroused, and immediate efforts made to extinguish the flames, no one, as yet suspecting foul play. Discovering a dense smoke issuing from the sleeping-room of Mr. Almon Gordon, brother of the prisoner, which was on thii first floor, Mr. Harmon burst open the door, seized the body of Mr. Gordon and dragged it out doors. He then returned, clasped the burning body of Mrs. Gordon and conveyed in also out of doors. Then rushing to a window, not being able to re turn to the room on account of thesmoke and flame, he reached in his arm, grasped a little boy, Ira, five years old, and bro't him forth alive. He also took a little girl, Emma, seventeen months old, from the bed dead and on fire. During all this time no one had suspected murder. The excitement of the fire had blinded them to the horrors of the fearful crime. APPEABABOE OF BODIES AS LAID OUT.. The three dead bodies were laid out in the sitting room to the right, on the first floor. No pains were spared to render their appearance as comely as the horrid circumstances would admit. All of them reclined on smooth white boards, the ki nocent but mutilated little child between its equally mangled parents. The bocli4- were covered with clean sheets, white and pure as the snow. Mr. Almon Gordon. was twenty-five years of age, had five or :ix deep gashes_on his head_with the blade of an axe, one blow having crushed the scull in upon the brain. The wife, twen ty-two years old, was shockingly cut a bout the head and neck, one blow of the axe having passed clear through the flesh and skull of the forehead, from which the brain was protruding. The beautiful child was cut iu like manner about the head and neck. The. boy that was saved was lying on a bed up stairs, with a flesh wound upon the forehead, not thought to be dangerous.— He was bright and conscious, and in an swer to the question on what hurt him, eplied-that-he-did-not-kuow i as-be-was asleep. Anna Gordan., a niece of the pris oner, ten years old, arTd - a - littk - k b - oy three years Old, named Eddy, were called up by him and directed to leave for a neigh bor's, as the house was on lire. The girl testified that she opened her aunt's door while she was passing out, and noticed that she was on fire, and so told the pris• over, who ordered her to floe for life to Mrs. Harmon's. OBSERVER. The aged parents of the prisoner were absent ou a visit to a brother in Bangor, where the tidings reached them. They arrived home at eight o'clock, prostrated and frantic. The anguish of this aged andiegliepair, their eri— ; v . • invocations to to Heaven, melted every eye to tears-and softened every heart to pity. PHILADELPHIA, June 20.—Two chil dren, Annie Beagen and Maggie Mulroy aged five yews, who had been missing , since Wednesday, were found this morn ing, locked up in a closet, in an empty house in the 25th ward. One was beyond human aid, and the other revived after being ramoved. The police are investi gating the affair, but it is believed that a terrible crime had been committed upon the persons of the infants. . The excitement attending the finding .of the children', missing since Wednesday, in the closet of an unoccupied house, still increases. At the post•morcem examination this afternoon, it was clearly shown that the child had not been ravished, but had di ed from suffocation. The stomach revealed the fact that she had not eaten anything for nearly forty. eight hours. This goes to strengthen the opinion of some that the little ones had strayed into the house, and accidentally locked themselves up in a closet, but the testimony of Officer Dinger and others is to the effect that on Thursday afternoon they made a search of the house, and the children were not there at that time. The coroner's physician says that the bruises on the knees, hips and elbows of Regan are easily accounted for. They might have been caused. by the child's own efforts to get out of the closet, or in flicted by Maggie Mulrov. who, when found, was sitting on the dead d body of her cum panion. Maggie, when taken from the place of confinement, made the remark : "Woman took me to the country for a gum doll ba by, and when I got back, a man put me in the closet." At this time the child was laboring under great mental excite ment, and her statement was not credited. By. the direction of the attending phy sician, no one is allowed to see or converse with the little one, and the officers haVe not, as yet, uudErtaken o to question her. An examination of the person of the living child also did not reveal any evi dence of outrage. The theory now is that some one, out of pure hatred of the Mul roy and Reagen families, bad hidden the children to annoy the parents, or that some boy or idiotic person has been the cause of their imprisonment in the closet and now fear to confess.

She then made her way to the depot, sat - calmly down on the steps of the platform, and awaited, apparently without emotion, the arrival of the morning express—a train that did not stop at the depot.
