The Tvrovk Horroii We briefly
noticed in lat issue the finding of Mrs.
Mi-inhart, banging by tbe neck in a
smoke house on tbe rear end of the lot
occupied by her husband, Jhon Mein
hart, on Tuesday of last week. The
B'n'h says that this affair is shrouded
wi:h some mystery, which none of onr
citizens pretend to deny. The family
have lived very unhappily for some
years, and current report assert thai
Meiubart abused his wife on Sabbath
evening, and that some time during the
night she disappeared aud was not found
until seme of the ueigbors, becoming
alarmed nt her long absence, searched
for her on the premises, which resulted
as above stated.
When found she was hanging by a
leather strap, fastened to a broom handle
which was laid acns two sm.ill joists,
which supported the rafters of the build
ing, her feet reachiug some twelve inches
or more below the top of a stove, upon
which (if she committed the deed her
self) she no doubt stood while adjusting
the strap on her neck. When cut down,
though she had hung some thirty-six
bours. ahe looked natural with the excep
tion of her tongue, which protruded out
of her mouth and was very much dis
colored
As soon . as the excitement abated to
some extent, 8. Jones, Esquire, summon
ed a jury composed of the following per
sons, viz : A. A. Smith. C R. Buriey,
R. C. Gilbraith, E. J. Primer, C. A. An
drews, A. M. Aults, who after bexring
all tbe particulars of tbe case, which it
was pos.-ib't! for them to collect, agreed
on tlie following . verdict : "That the
death of Mrs ilcinbait was caused by
strangulation by the liand of some per
son or person unknown."
Tbe jury haviugadjourued, and friends
having couveyed , the corjies to the
Catholic ceiu-iterry the excitement seem
ed to increase, people complained of the
officers for not arresting the parties upon
whom suspicion seemed to fasten, until
Thursday afternoon, when a large num
ber of tbe citizens, determining that tbe
matter should not rest thus, informed
Squire Jones of their intention to make
oath as to their convictions and require
a warrant, v Meinhart, the husband of
the deceased, on hearing this, delivered
himself to the authorities, aud was con
veyed to the county jail to await the de
cision of the court. -
This being affected some twelve or
more of the citizens repaired to tbe
Squire's office, made oath, and demanded
the arrest of Amanda Ginter, a woman
living in part of Meinhart's dwelling
A wan-anl was issued, and she, too, was
taken to our county prison, to await fu
ture development. ,Tbae tbe matter
rests. A&i T5s of last vxti.

Beale ia a citizen of Miliord township,
aod latterly baa been working at bis
trade the carpenter trade in Patterson.
On last Saturday morning he left home,
takipg with htm a son, about 12 years old
in a one-horse spring wagon. The lower
crossing at Patterson was reached about
six o'clock, die time at which the Fast
Line east ia due at that place. Two
freight trains lay at the crossing, but
were "cut," as the law ' requires,' so as
not to obstruct travel. The engines of
these trains were blowing off steam."
which alwaya makes considerable noise.
The noise tbns made prevented Mr.
Bealn from hearing the approach of the
Fast Line, which does not stop at this
place, but passes by at full speed. Tbe
wagon was on tbe track before the coming
train was seen, and before it was driven
off the engine struck it, and broke it into
hundreds of pieces, and threw it off to
the left of the track. Mr. Beale was
burled into tbe air about ten feet, and
fell to tbe ground some twenty feet to
tbe left of tbe place where the wagon
was when struck. He was seriously
hurt. He lay in an unconscious state
for srinsc time, when consciousness re
turned. His left ear was entirely torn
off, his body bruised, aud his arms and
legs benumbed, and his spinal column
severely injured. He was taken to a
honse near by. Dr. Crawford was called
and rendered with, the assistance of)

The Fatigue of Washing Day no longer dread
ed, but Economv, Efficiency, and Clean
Clothin?, Sdre.
In calling pub'.io attention to this little
machine, a few of tho invaluable qualities,
(not possessed by auy other washing machine
yet inveiiie l. ) are here enumerated :
It is ihe smallest, mi.t compact, most port
able, most eimnlc in ooosiructioa, most easily
operated. A child, teu years o'.d, wiih a few
hours' practice, can thoroughly comprehend
and effectually use it. T!ir i no ndjo-l-ing.
no screws to anbow no delay in adapt
ing ! It is always rea-ly fjr use ! It is a
pcrrret little wonder! It is a minivuro
niant, doing more work and ef a beiier qual
ity, than tbe most elaborate an-1 costly. One
half of the labor is fully saved by its use.
aad the glo'he will last one-half longer than
by the old plan of tbe rub hoard. It will
wash the largest blanket. Three shirts at a.
time, washed ihorannhly! In a, w.rl, ihe
abluiion of any fabm. from a Quilt to a
Lace Curtain gr Cambric Handkerchief, an
equally wiibin the capacity of lhi LITTLE
OKU! It can be fastened to any tub anl
taken off at will.
Xo matter haw deep rooted a prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines. Ihe rueuieat
this little m-tchine is seen to perform its vnn
eer, all doubts of its eleansing1 efScaey and
utility are uaiithcd. anJ the doubter and
detractor at once become the fast friends of
the machine.
We have testimonials withcut end. setting
forth its numerous advantages overall others,
and from hundreds who have thrnwn s-i lo
the unwieloy. useles msehiaes. which have
signally failed lo accomplish ihe object prom
ised in prominent and loud sounding adver
tisements. It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is
for wringing.
The price, another paramount inducement
to purchasers, bat been placed ao low. I bat it
is within the reach of every hon-ekeeper.
and there is no article of domestic economy
that will repay the small inveatuieut so eoou.
All that is asked for this GREAT LABR
SAVER, is a fair trial. TVe suarantee each
machine to do its work perfectly.
