Hr. Kennedy was doing a large business, complicated, somewhat involv ed, and it is suppled that financial em barrassment, together with bis long con finement, caused bis mind to become un settled, and during this period of mental alteration be committed" the fatal deed. Tbe testimony of Dr. McKinney, bis at tendant physician, before tbe coroner’s jury, as repbrted by the Butter Oounty Prat, was at follows: Ho says, I was called about BA. M., to see bim, the deceased, and. found him sitting in an easy chair with pistol in hand, a bullet hole in the center of the forehead. He was dead when I arrived. Hi ade superficial examination; the ball entered the skull—have no doubt but tbe wound was effected by bis own hand, and was the cause of bis death. I was called to see him the day he fell off the bridge; found he had a broken lee, and concussion of the brain; his pifise was low, skin cold and all evidences of a severe shock to the brain. He rallied however, and bis con dition improved for three days,’ after which 1 began to observe his mind wan dering. I would ask a question and be would answer only partially intelligently, and then drop off apparently asleep for some five seconds and then commence to talk about something else. The only sub ject he would converse about rationally was business subjects; 1 could not get him asleep for several nights, whilst in this mental condition. His tongue be came dry and coated ; bowels inactive, all symptoms that indicated subacute brain disease. I would have to say that he was of unsound mind. * * * During this condition of the patient, I would not be surprised ifne had taken bis life at any moment. The doctor contin ued giving a minute description of bis patient's condition while under his pro fessional care, and summed up his whole testimony by saying that 2tr. K., in his judgment, was partially insane at the time be committed the deed which coat him bis life. The jury rendered the following ver diet: “Xb a t the said William Kennedy came to his death on the 3d day of July, A. D. 1873, at about 7;45 a. m.. in his own resi dence in borough of New Brighton, county of Beaver, by a piatnl ahot In hie forehead by his own hand, while in a state of temporary insanity.” Tbe funeral took place Thursday after noon, and was largely attended.

If yon are engaged in active busi ness, consider what would probably happen If your plans were set aside and other persons were called in to close up your affairs.

All this might be the result if death shon Id overtake yon next week, or next year, and yon have no lease of life.

The warehouse, the store, the goods and merchandise are free from fill incumbrance. No sacrifices need be made. Your family have property which, by your forethought, they are enabled to preserve, and will furnish the means of support. The longer Insurance is postponed, the greater will be the premium. Nor can it be obtained upon any terms by those not in good health. Hence the immediate attention to this matter, A. B.

On Saturday of week before last a horse belonging to Morgan Craig* of New Brighton, while being driven down the hill just outside of Palleton, ran away and threw Hr. Craig and bis. mother, who was with him, out of the boggy, catting Mr. Craig’s head badly and break ing three of his ribs, and breaking Mrs. i Craig’s thigh and knocking her hip out of j not. Dr. Jackson, who happened to be near by when the aociient .occurred, was called and dressed the wounds and otherwise oared for them.

There were a few pic-nics and' festivalj in different parte of the county* beyond which nothing was at tempted. The day dues not bring oot as modi.spread-eagle jeloquence and- in spire ft> much enthusiasm as formerly* but we hope: the which it celebrates will never grow feeble, although the old fashioned noisy celebrating, wbichused everywhere to characterize the day, will year by year grow lein. The nation has grown cld in a century, and the Ideas and associations of Independence Day have now to compete with other new events and ideas which. In a measure, remove the former further away from that imme diate interest which! the people naturally take jn the latter. Celebrations change Wito the time, and are a part of the liv toff present, and intimately related to the immediate future. | Fourth of July, therefore, affords a large measure of freedom to all classed, and gives opportu' nlty for a variety ofpublic meetings and gatherings for alt purposes, in which the original idea of the “day we celebrate” ia entirely subordinated to new issues and demands. The Declaration of Independ ence has become an nldsong, and Fourth of July orations ard becoming absolete. The Centennial, trust, will bring all things to remembrance, and partially at least revive the old enthusiasm with which formerly Independence Day was greeted, amid the boom of cannons, ring ing of bells, snapping of firecrackers, and display of military. A New Book.—"We have bad tbe pleasure of perusing MTbree Years id the Federal Cavalry,” by Captain Wil lard 0 lazier, author of “The? Capture,” “The Prison Pen,” and “The Escape,” and other works of considerable merit. Tbe present volume is one of bis best, made up, as it is, from daily notes token fresh while on tbe inarch, or in camp, or at tbe bivouac fire, or during tbe 101 l of battle. Tbe book contains many oul-of I tbe-way facts and incidents most worthy ■ of being known and treasured up, con cerning our brave cavalry. *The narative begins at tbe commence meet of tbe war in ’Bl, and ends with the author’s capture in ’63, covering most of tbe remarkable movements of cayalry in Virginia and elsewhere ol the j Army of tbe Potomac. The book will be found very interesting to tbe' general reader, and is very suitable for family reading. We advise all who wish to oh tain a good book to purchase it. There is at present an agent canvassing por tions of this county for the sale of tbe above book, to whom we refer those who would like to pure 3 A than by tb«T name of John Frezler ancf a girl whose roal name is Kate Faul atoch, bntb- ttftm» of Wheelinc. left the Neal House in Rochester on Friday, where they , bad been | staying a abort, lime as man and Wife* and went to Har mony, stopping at the hotel 1 in that place. { Oaring the afternoon of Friday the man i requested the use of a horse and buggy to take a ride. While the host was pro curing these, the man shot the woman in the forehead with a pistol and then shot himself. The mnrderer and suicide died about 2 o’clock Saturday morning, the woman still lives and there is some hopes of her recovery. The affair of course created intense excitement in that com munity, and startled the occupants of that country hotel. The woman on be ing questioned confessed that they were from Wheeling, and added that she had no desire to live. It seems from other information that the parties were desper ately in love and had eloped once before and got as far away as Steubenville where they were captured and taken back to Wheeling. The second time, however, they were more successful, aud nothing occured to interfere with their freedom until they reached Harmony where the horrible tragedy occurred.
