Join l)oyle and wife again*: Jesse C in
fort, who by reason f hii neglect in fad

ea-ior.ed Mrs. Doyle to fall ar.d break her

if they found from the evidence that the
defendant allowed hi* pavement to be and
remain in a dangerous condition by tbe
accumulation of snow and ice, and that in
consequence of this tbe accident happened
be was responsible. The result of this suit
ought not to te lost upon the owners of
pavements in any town in the slat*?, and
tbosa people in Centre Hall, who have
boardwalks that are more "holey than
righteous bad better take warning
We know it from actual observation
that there were more hap py, contented
and prosperous people in the world, with
in the last few years than previous. This
is from tho fact that those people tuake
their living easier, and live better, and
with less expense. Thi* is ail owing t->
good and wise management, which wilt
stlway* bring with it the above Cavon.b e
result*. Now it is the people w--> buy
their gr eerie* at St-chler A Co'*, who, es
pecially, are classed with the prosperous
and happy. They save money hv so do
ing, and getting a finer and better quality
of goods, of course they live better. We
desire that this secret become known, we
wish ail to be happy and prosperous, hence
wc keep urging people to buy their gro
ceries of Sochler & Co.

GRANT CITT, MO , April 11, lr?o.
EPITOK RKPORTER It was my inten
tion to write you before now, I ut there ha*
been such a constant dearth of new* that
1 it was to ri-k one'* reputation a* a corrc
i spendent to attempt to w rite. I have iaie
! y been the recipient of numerous letter*
from iny friends in the east making ir.qui
ryconccining thi* country, and as my
time is constantly employed with business
duties, I find it utterly imp -sible to re
ply to their otherwise welcome letti r,
Ufone thing I will here remind these wi.o
write me merely for information concern
ing this country, and ask them to give it
rart-ful consideration. My time here is
worth money, nnd as I am not in the land
office bu,ine?s, 1 do not feel like answer
ing di R'.-ns of letter* merely to g-atifiy the
desire of those who are anxious to "know
nil about the west " T > such person* 1
would say —when you write don't forget to
enclose a three cent postage stamp for a
return an-wer. Our aristocratic govern
ment is not ducriminaling enough to lei
us western people linvc postage stamp*
for less than face—an important consider
alion which 1 presume, many of my "in
quiring" friend- have entirely overlook
ed, but which, nevertheless is true. The
above h;i* reference only t<> those who
write mo for their own g-alfication, and
not from ar.y frit-nosh p they have for me
I noticed in the Reporter of April I-t. a
paragraph tomelhitng like this : "The
snow is melting fa-t. ' That was refri sit
ing news t<> me here in thi- section wio-r
--we have been for while di-.y, without fire,

flib-rman, when it coim-a to cramming

the divi'.''
The past winter ha* been the *everi *i
known in this sec; on for many yevr*. Tin
iieruiomitcr ranged from G to lo and ,c-v
--c-i..l time* crawled down to 20 and 26, bui
remained there not more than it day at i>
lime. These extremes of cold are very
-udden being caused by the north-western
wind* which come sweeping down upon
u, from the Rocky mountain* di-tanl - inn
,ix hundred miles. A* a natural con*e-
quence, when heavy storm-are raging on
the great plains west of u-, we are made
to feel the effects to a greater or le-s ex
tent, depending entirely upon the direc
tion cf the current. When the storms as
-iurue a due toulheily direction wc are nui
lislurhcd, but when they assume an east
city ar rati tr n south cn tcrly course, it i
then that we are most disturbed by theii
fury. The tia-ori why the storms do not
effect you iii the cast like us in the west
is, you are piotcclcd by great mountain
harrier# and heavy forests which gradually
lessen (lie raging elements and finally de
stroy their fuice. If we had the Alleghe
niesextended on the north-west from tin
western extremity of Lake Supeiior in
south west- tly direction to the southern
line of Colorado, our climate wouid be
vastly milder than the climate of southern
Pennsylvania. As it is our climate in this
latitute is milder than in the same latitude
in Pennsylvania, the high winds except
ed. For health, I decidedly prefer the
cl mate of north-west Mo. to the climateof
southern Pa. The winds are invigoru
ling and bracing arid give the cheek a
ruddy glow, and that terrible monster
consumption—i here stripped of its lerri
b'ene-s. But as I have already spun out a
long letter and said nothing, I will cons
cludi, by promising to bore you again
sometime in future.

A QUADRUPLE TRAGEDY.
Terrible V\ ork of A Crazy Lover.
New York, April 23.—A letter to the
Sun from Cuba, New York, gives details
jof a terrible quadruple tragedy in that re
gion. For seme month* a young Irishman
named James Lnffcrty, living in ltock
ville, Allegheny county, ha* tried to in
duce the daughter of a farmer, George
Vannay, living a few mile from Rockville.
to marry him. He was formerly in the
employ of the farmer. The young girl
repeatedly repulsed him. On Wedneidav
afternoon he went to Vannay * and enter
ed the sitting room, where the young wo
man was at work. He renewed his propo
sal of marriage and was again refused. He
took a newspaper from his pocket, and
pointing to an article hraded "Murdered
j for Love," told her to read it. She lank
the paper, and, a* she was looking at it,
Liiffertv drew a revolver and fired. The
ball entered the girl'* cheek and loged in
the opposite side o'f her head. She started,
-creaming, towards the kitchen, when her
mother came running into the room.
Laflerty shot the mother, tho bull entering
near the right temple and loged behind
the car. Both mother and daughter fell,
land Icifferty ran from the li 'Use. Mr.
IVannoy. who vva.- in the burn, reached the
house just as Latterly came out, with hi-
pi.tol -till in his hand Yannay exclaim
ed, " What in the nerne of God is the mat
• or'.'" and ran toward Lifferty. The lat
ttei fired at Vannay but missed him. He
then placed the pistol lo his own head und
tired two shots, blowing the whole side of
hi# bead off and killing himself almost in
stantly. Vannay found his wife and
daughter lying on the floor in pools ol
blood. He supposed they wore dead, but
they both spoke to biin. lie prepared to
start for a doctor. As lie was running to
the liarn to saddle a hoise Con-table Gan
tion. of Rockvillo, came riding UP, an I
hailing Vannay. asked if he ha I seen any
thing of Jim Lafferty. nnc wen: on to av
that old Mrs. Jaflbrty, hi* grandmother,
had been found murdered in her bouse at
Rockville, a sum of money she had in thel
house was gene, and it win supposed In i
had been killed by her grandson, whohadj
been lurking around her house on Salur
day. Vnnnay related the tragedy that
had occurred lit hi houae, and the otßceri
rode on to summon a physician nml give
the nlerm. Dr. Young, of Cube, attended
ind extracted the hall from Mn. Vannay'-i
wound, but could n<>t reach the one which
had penetrated the daughter's head
lloih of the victims are in a critical endi
lion, nut the doctor thinks they may re
cover. Dr. Young ia also Coroner, and he
look charge of the body of the murdeiar
and had it interred in a field near the scene
of the tragedy Old Mrs. Latterly was
found on Tuesday. There had been no
stir about the house since Saturday, utul it
was visited by some neighbors, who sup
posed the old lady was sick. The door
was not locked, nud Mrs. Latterly lay
across the bed. Evidence* of a struggle
were visible in the room and her clothes
wero badly torn Her laco was black and
bluu, and around her neck were dark blue
marks, as though made by the fingers of
the person with whom she had been strug
sling5 ling An examination showed that
eatn resulted from strangulation. The
old lady had about one hundred dollars
that the had laid by to pav her funeral ex
pense*. The box in which she kept it was
broken open and the money gone. There
is no doubt in the neighbornood th.it she
was murdered and robbed by her giand
son,

The carburet ted hydrogen and the
