Deliberate Betf-Murder,~- A But

been called upon to record was committed
some time on Saturday last* Butler

the unfortunate man was seen alive- On
Saturday evening bis neighbor! accom
panied by a friend, called atAfr. Stewart’s
house, but receiving nn response to their
knocks, talked into ithe building./ They
were horrified to find the man, laying
dead on the floor, with his face add cloth
ing covered with blood. The hastiest
glance was sufficient to convince them
that bis death had been caused by his own
hands. The deceased had made the most
j deliberate and ingenious preparations for
j the deed. He had spread a large sheep
skin on the floor with tlie wool side up,
near a stairway leading to an upper story,
i At the foot of the stairs a chair had been
laid, with the back resting on the lower
steps. A loaded gutrhad been placed so
that while the butt end rested on the
| second step, the muzzle protruded be
tween the rung®, and thus held firmly in
position. After making these prepara
tions it is supposed that be laid down and
discharged the gun by touching the trig
ger with the ramrod, as that article was
lying at his side. The entire load entered
at the left temple and passed entirely
through the bead, making a fearful
wound, and causing instant death, as
there was no evidence that the deceased
had moved. His head had been held so
close to the’mnzzle of the gun that the
hair was singed by the fire. Our infor
mant stalls that the deceased was about
fifty years of age, but assigned no reason
for the deed. It is said, however, that
the deceased bad some domestic troubles,
and is supposed that these impelled him
to commit the fearful crime, A note was
found in the room, written by the deceas
ed, which contained the following: ‘T
end my days on February Ist at twei ve
o’clock,” and this is the only duo as to
tbe time the deed was committed.—Pitts

matron’s life was spent at thirtyrfo.ur-years;
her hair becomes gray; her gentle eyes
are dimmed aiid traces of a former glory
only remains; her occupations are limited
to keeping a fashionable boarding house,
giving Italian lessons ; her Ignorance of
the world outside of her native land, is
remarkable and sad to know. There is
no place in Italy for marriageable girls
who are unmarried, except the cloister.
Life begins in earnest with them at
twelve, and they are old at twenty-five.
Italian women know nothing about col
lege education or equality before the
marriage law and a strong minded woman
would shock her sense of propriety. In
Prance the women buy their husbands,
and the men know their value. A tempt
ing dowry is sufficient to make any
matrimonial bargain easy. The girls
are easily managed, they are charmingly
submissive, and when a suitable young

He can stand and stare right at his shad
ow In a manner so insulting that the ele
ments tremble with rage and cease to do
their duty_ for us mortals by utterly refus
ing to obey the mandates of nature, and
the conscquehceis the storm king rains
supreme, snom supreme and freezes su
preme in the region round about where
such shadow-gazing is indulged in by the
ground hog. Though it most be admitted
that this brute of a weather fore teller is
sometimes: a little curious about his day,
and occasionally when folks do not think
about it he has his day come> on a cloudy
day,’ in which .case he does not see his
shadow and the weather is not insulted at
his staring at it,, and good-humoredly
opens up the spring, so that farmers in
particular and other folks in general can
get their spring labor completed before
the middle of summer, in which case the
ground bug is a fine little fellow and'just
suits everybody.
The ground hog, it. most be remember
ed, borrows In the earth, especially in w in
ter time. When he wishes to take up his
abode in the ground he d >es so by means
of a hole therein, and the manner in
which he contrives to get the bole in the
ground is the strangest part of his ma
oceuvering, as anyone who will take the
trouble to look jean see that there is no
loose ground at the entrance to his win
ter quarters; nor can bis place of abode
be identified by any other means. Some
ground bog observers say that he carries
the loose earth, produced by excavating
bis thoroughfares, and deposits it some
distance from the place of bis abode. Otb ,
era maintain that he commences at the
other end of the hole to dig, and the ques
tion as to how begets to the other end of |
the hole is Jus oSrh-lookout; but b-nh
these conclusion are practically absurd.
Now J know how the ground hog obtains
access to bis winter quarters, and my ex
perience is simply this*; One .day, late
a dense for
jeit.,l saw jȣa ghost distance the venerable
old weather brute busily engaged at work,
hod being desirous of knowing what he
was doing I secreted myself from his view
and awaited the resu't of his toil. He
was faithfully engaged In gnawing and
dressing with his teeth, to a proper size
.and shape, a long bole which be had pull
ed out cf a hollow, log near by. When
his work was completed, (and it was just
before a hard rain,) be hunted a clear
place in the tree tops, upended the bole
ind propped it op with wood and brush,
and the. rain drove it Into the ground;
then the ground hog went into his hole
and polled it in after him, thus biding all
traces of his solitary winter abode. He
then wraps himself op in bis long haired
overcoat, and puts himself “in bis little
bed,” to while away the long winter
nights with no one to keep him company,
“no one to love, no one to caress." But
in his loneliness be snoozes away until*be
finds by consulting his mental calendar
(for he has no almanac like other folks,)
that his day has come, the long-looked
for second of February, he shoves the
cherished ground bog hole to the surface
of the earth and carefully peers out to as
certain if there are any men, boys or dogs
about, these beinghis most vita) enemies.
Having satisfied himself on this point he
shakes himself, and with a dignified air of
self-assurance he proceeds to his regular
business »f weather-making; looks
about, shakes himself again, roots around
a little more, casts his eyes Reward the
sun, then looks for bis shadow, and if he
don’t see it be goes «.ff about his work to
make an honest living; bat if he sees bis
shadow ha looks at it for a few moments,
then rashes back into his bole, pulls it in
after him, cuddles down in his little bed,
and the result upon the weather is known
to all the weather-witches and supersti
tions people in the country.

Why Endow l* Curable?
- “What canVhd cored' must tie endhred," says
tba proverb; but- indigestion can be cored, and
’ therefore It Is the merest stupidity to endure it. ■
Dyspeptics have certainly a right to continue dys-
I peptic to the end of tbeir days it they Choose, but
as if is hot supposed that any rational being pre
i far* phyakil torment to.esse and health, the prob
abilityls that if ail suffers from Indiceftion were
conviMcdtthar an absolute, infallible; remedy for
their tomplalut existed,, they would .with one ac*
edrti resort to it! We most emphatically declare
that Bach a thlng does exlst, ahd that Its name is
Hostetter’aStomach Bltters.The pecotd of Its
gaccess extenda over a period of twenty years,
and it is fearfessly alleged that, during tjje whole
whole oflhat time it lias'never felled toafford per
manenf iellef ln atty disorder drderttgement of
the' stomach that Was not orgitlici malighant, and
inchrable.v l'he tesUmontalsthatgo to establish
fact s*n be t counted by the thous
and{ Stomach complaints that had been aggra
vated by a total disregard of all dietary rules, and
-intensified and rendered chronic by-medical treat
ment or drastic purgation, haveln hundreds of in
stoics been cured within three trionths by the'sys
tematic use of thlp celebrated stomachic altera
■■tive. ; It should .be remembered that weakness of
the digestive organs Involves many other ail
ments. BiUonshess, headache, nervoris debility,
spasms, palpitation of the heart, rush of blood to
the head, pansea, vertigo, and sleeplessness are
among its concomitants and result s; and for all
these, the-great vegetable tonic is a specific. It
acts j first upon the stomach,*and through the
stomach upon the secretory and nervous systems
and the bowels, its general effect being always
genial and beneficioul. iebT-lm
An Excellent Pen.-We have been favored
with a sample card of the celebrated Spencerian
Steel Pens, and after trying them quite thorough
ly are convinced of their superior merit. These
pens are comprised in fifteen numbers, each differ
ing in flexibility and fineness of point, so that the
most fastidious penman cannot fail to find among
the fifteen just such a pen as suits him. The
Spencerian Pens are famous for their elasticity of
movement, smoothness of point and great dura
bility, and are nearer approximation to the real
Swan Qnill Pen than anjthi^ghitherto made.
They are manufactured in England under the su
pervision of the originator of Steel Pens, thej ven
erable Josiah Mason,and Joseph Gillott—the lat
ter making a few of the numbers after ihe models
of the late P. K. Spencer, the famous penman
They are used very largely in the common schools
of the tailed States, in ail .he principal commer
cial colleges. In the government ofllces at Wash
ington, and in the banks and commercial offices
throughout the country, the sale reaching an enor
mons quantity annually. For the convenience of
those who may wish to try them, a sample card of
the Spencerian Pens may be had by mail by on •
closing 25 cents to Messrs. Ivison, Dlakeman, Tay
lor & Co., 133 and 140 Grand Street, N. Y., or the
pens may be bought at almost any store where
pens are sold.
