FOR THE JEFFRSONIAN.
Washington, D. G. Nov. 12, 1858.
Perhaps no City in the world, of sixty
thousand inhabitants, surpasses our Na
tional Capital in crime. A few months
ago, it was by no means unusual here to
linun throe or four murders nnr wnfiklv.
Last spring, almost under the very eaves
tin-, . . .
ot tue uapuoi, an inonensive man was
shot dead in his tracks by two assassins.
The name of the victim was Reeve Lewis,
the murderers were Charles H. Barret
and his accomplice. The attack was one
of t-hcer wanton fiendishness, without the
leat provocation. The murder was one
unprovoked, cold-blooded and brutal -

Tirfee Thousand Dollars Stolen from a
Colored Jffan by a Gypsey Womafl.
A short time since, a respectable col
ored hack driver, named Cornelius Clark,
living on K street, in tho First Ward, was
outrageously swindled by a Gipsey wo
man, under the following circumstances:
She went to Clark's house, after having
previously ascertained that he had a sick
child, and asked him if he wanted his for
tune told, and was refused by Clark;
whereupon she gravely informed him that
bo bad a child which had been sick for
several years, and that she could cure it
in a few days. Completely mystified by
tbe woman's hints, and desirous to afford
his child all the relief from its unfortu
nate complaint, (it having been subject
to violant fits for a long period.) 31r.
Clark brought bis child into the presence
of tho pretonded sorceress, who instautly
named its complaint, and proposed to
cure it in about three weeks. She de
manded, and received, a retainer of 85,
aud then performed some hocus pocus o
ver it, and laid it in bed. Under its bead
she placed the 5, wrapped in a pieco of
paper.
Each day she visited the child, and
each day domandco additional money,
which Clark gave her, in sums varying
from S10 to $40 at a time, and whiob she
always placed under the child's bead;
and, strange to say, the little sufferer,
who had been accustomed to almost daily
attacks of its dreadful distemper, remain
ed entirely free from them during the
three weeks that this "medicine woman"
attended it. At last, when Clark had
given all hi3 ready money, amounting to
about five hundred dollars, she informed
him that she was about to place a spell
upon the patient which would forever re
lieve it of its pains, but that she would
require the sum of '2000 to perform tin
operation with.
Completely "bamboozled" by her arts,
Clark went away and mortgaged his house
and lot to tho Bank of Washington, for
two thousand dollars, receiving from the
clerk twenty SI 00 notes, which ho placed
in the Gypscy's hands, and which she dis
posed of as she had done with the previ
ous amounts. She then made her victim
shell out all the jewelry and silverware iu
his house, consisting of a gold watch and
chain, a number of bracelets, ear-rings
nnger-nngs, breastpins gold i-hirt stud
necklaces, hilver spoons and goblets, to
the value of about five hundred dollars
which he placed in her band.
She now got .ready for her last perfor
.i i t t
usance, anu requescea uiaric to go up
stairs and bring various articles, and
largo napkin in which to tie up the valu
ables. He soon returned with the desir
ed articles, which she spread out, and lay
mg, as ho supposed, all tho cash, jowelry
etc., in a handkerchief upon the napkin
made her dupe take it by the corners
and tie all securely together, and lay it
under the sick child s head. She then
left and did not return again. After
few days, she not appearing, and ho be
ing afraid to disturb the bundle for fear
of destroying the magic spell, yet becom
ing suspicious that all was not right, sent
to ner boarding house, wncre he was in
formed she had been gone from there
several days.
His suspicion was now sufficiently
strong to overcome his fuarsfor the safe
ty of his child, and rushing to the room
no snatches, the bundle and tore it open

MatfWitha Petrified Wife.
A few days since a gentlemen residing
in Rising bun, Indiana, who had married
a second time, wished to remove the body
ot his wile to a new cemetery. Prepara
tions were mada to the effect, and labor
ers opened tbe gravo in the usual man
ner; but whey they reached- tho coffin
they coulu not lift it, so great was the
weight. Alter obtaining considerable as
sistance, however, the men succeeded in
raising the coffin from the tomb. They
then could not resist the tcmptatton ot
peering into the coffin and learning the
reason for its unusual weight, and found
instead of the remains of a corpse, a stone
figure, the exact counterpart of tbe woman
who had died.
This strange story soon spread, and
hundreds and thousands of persous were
present to see the strango spectacle. The
husband took the hod" of his departed
Spouse home and has it there now, where
it is visited by hundreds of tho curious
and scientific. The body seems to have
beeouio a perfect stone woman. The
probability is that the body has become

der and then with water, placed the muz
zle iu bis mouth and fired, completely
shattering his head. When found he was
stauding in the corner leaning on his gun.
Tho room presented a terrible appearance,
being completely drenched with blood and
covered with pieces of skull and brains.

to marry the girl of his choice.
Preserve Your Hair.
Tho uso of oils, or pomatum, or greaso
of P's gese, or anything else, is ruin
ous to the hair of man or woman. Wo
consider it a filthy practice, almo-t uni
versal though it be, for it gathers dust
and dirt, and soils whatever it touches.
Nothing but pure soft water should be al
lowed on the heads of our children. It
U a different practice that robs our wo
men of their most beautiful ornament,
long before their prime. The hair of
our daughters should be kept within two
inches, until their twelfth year. Halls
