like S'ty dollars worth being taken,
and about ten dollars in change. We
understand Mr. Pearsall keep the
safe merely a a protection against fire

of gning in swimming ; the ycung meo
are jumping, leaping, acd wrestling ia
the court buu?e yard ; the farmer is
buying implement and sowing oat;
the hecs are laying industriously, and
some of the more ambitious of them
already want to set. From these, and
other indications, we conclude that

MOST REVOLTING ML'RDER !
Two Women Have Their Throata
Cut in Broad Daylight.
The most frightful and altogether
revolting murder that has ever beeo
perpetrated in this section of coontry
took place on Monday within a quar
ter of a mile of the village of Lick
ingviile, Clarion county, aod ten miles
from Tinnesta. The particular as
nearly as could be gathered yesterday
area follows: About eight o'clock
ia the morning Mr. John Everhart,
well known to nearly every one in
in this community, started for Fry
burg to attend a meeting of some of
the township officers, leaving at home
bis wife and her mother Mrs. GilSI
lan, also well known to the older in
habitant of this vicinity. Mrs. Ev
erhart bad begun the usual M in
day ' washing, and a young lad who
wss living with the family had gone
to school. Returning from sciool
about five o'clock in the evening the
boy was horrified on entering the
house to Sad Mrs. Giifillaa lying on
the 3 oor with her throat cut. HiriT
ing out he summoned sots a neighbors
and an iaveaiigation of the terrible
affair ensued. Finding Mrs. Ever
hart absent they concluded she had
gone to visit some neighbors, and im
mediately messengers were dispatched
to learn where she was, never dream
in; f"r a moment that she had met a
similar fate. Not Soding her at any
of the neighboring houses, they began
a search of the premises, and were
even more horrified, if possible, when
they entered the spring house, a short
distance away, and found Mrs. Ever
hart lying lifelese on her face in the
water with her throat also cut.
No traces or clue were found of the
perpetrators of the horrible crime, or
whether more than one was impli
cated. The house had been ransacked
and a pocket book containing three
hundred dollars had been takeu from
a bureau. The fact that the washing
waa bong out, and the suick turned
out of the barn would indicate that
the murder had been perpetrated after
noun, as it waa the custom of the fam
ily to leave the cattle ia the stables
until a.fir dinner. The theory is also
advanced that the old lady was mur
dered while Mrs. Everhart waa at the
ham, and coming ia had discovered
the perpetrators, who, fearing recog
nition pursued her to the spring house
aod there murdered her to escape de
tection ; there being no traces of blood
between the dwelling and the spring
hocse, it is evident Mrs. Everhart was
murdered where she lay. One of Mrs.
Gilfiilan's hands waa cat ia several
places. No other marks of violence
were found oa either of the bodies.
The above particulars we gather
from Mr. James Giifillaa, son of the
murdered Mrs. Gilfiilan, and as he
had not yet been to the scene of the
frightful affair could not give as mi
nor details.
Mr. Everhart' farm, one of the
finest ia his section, lies oa either side
of the public road, which ia almost
hourly traveled during the day. The
country around is almost entirely
cleared op, and the village of Lick
iogvil'e lies in sight of the farm. How
such a horrifying murder could hap
pen in broad daylight aad escape the
notice of everyone is one of the mys
teries no one seem able to solve. The
idea ia carried by quit a number that
the deed waa committed by some one
acquainted with Mr. Everhart' cir
cumstances and knew he would be ab
sent from home that day.
We hope by next week to be able to
report the capture of the perpetrators
of the awful crime, and their speedy
extermination from among humanity.
Excitement runs high ia the ?ommu
n.ty ia which the tragedy occurred,
aad hundreds of peupie have been at
tracted to the scene.
Mrs. Giidilaa was agd about 75
years aod quite treble. Mrs. Everhart
waa near 53 yfeara of af e. The former
ia the mother of a large family ot chil
dren, and hal for some years past
made her heme with her daughtei Mr.
Everhart.
A-DDITIOSAL PABTICCLAB3.
The Derrick sent a reporter to the
scene of the murder yesterday and from ,
his report wa gleaa the following:
Robbery was evidently the intent of
the osarderer or murderera. Mr. Ev
erhart, who says he seld om keep mon
ey ia bis huu?e, put ome three hun
dred dollars, that he bad that morning
before he left la s desk ia a room, and
ia the same desk was i160 ia Forest
County ami TioQe-ta boraogh bon is.
The money was ukeo but the boo is
were left untouched ia the desk. Mr
Everhart stated to ihe reporter that
hi wife had a large sum of ber own
money, about $1,200 or $1,500 ia the
bouM and be did not know whore sbe
kept it This be thinks the murderer
failed to get. The throata of buth the
aofortucatA ladies were cut in a man
ner so similar that it indicates the
same murderers hand. The weapon
nsed waa evidently a heavy and sharp
Knife. Thejugular vein was cut in
both cases. Mr. Everhart informed
the reporter that he kept in the same
room where the body of Mrs. Giifillaa
was found, hang-.ng oa a cup
board, a large and very sharp knife
that he used for butchering purposes
exclusively. This knife is missing,
though the primises have been search
ed it cannot be found. The only other
circumstance that ntfers even a faint
ray of light on this horriaie tragedy
is the sutemant of Mrs. Mahle to the
effect that she taw from ber house a
quarter of a mile distant, a man enter
the yard of the Everhart house.
Beyond this nothing has been discov
ered to date that ia satisfactory.
LETTER FROM EUROPE.
Through the kindness of Mr. A. B.
Kelly we are permitted to publish the
following interesting letter from Ben.
W. May, now traveling in Europe,
which will be read with interest by
Ben' many friends oa this side the
great pond :
Naples, Italy, Feb. 10, 'S6.
This is a miserable day. Cold and
chilly atmosphere, and a nasty rain
failing steadily, and has been failing
since last evening. My room faces
the bay of Naples, Capri aad Mount
Vesuvius, but to-day our vision is ob
scured by siense clouds of low lying
fog, and we must content ourselves
with a view of the low, miserable
houses, built oa terraces beneath us.
The streets swarm with miserable
looking Italians, lazzironi and don
keys. The drivers yell wildly at their
donkeys and beat tbem unmercifully,
aad all day long we hear no other
sound than the crack of the cruel
whip, and the idiotic scream of the
miserable, godforsaken Italian urging
oa the patient, overburthened animal.
I am at times sroused to a spirit of
indignation against these cruel creat
ures, and wbeo I look out of my win
dow and witness their barbarities I
feel aa though I must go down and
grasp one of the miserable vermin by
the throat and strangle the miserable
life out of hi ai. As yet I have not
seen the beautiful bay, for reasons
mentioned in the first page of my let
ter, and I cannot say whether it is a
beautiful as I have been lei to believe.
But even if nature has surrounded the
town with her most bountiful gifts,
one uila in proper admiration of tbem
because of the miserable people who
are in Nsples. They are so debased,
aod live ia such filth aad squalor that
one only thinks of and contemplates
their condition, and fails to enjoy what
ever is good of the natural surround
ings. I am told that is much better
now than before liTO, at which time
Naples was handed over ta the pres
ent Italian Government. Ia fact, ail
Italy, since it came into the hands of!
victor Emmanuel, has undergone a
change for the better. As I under
stand it, the government has rescued
the people lrom the hands of the cler
gy, and by establishing a system of
free schools, hope to raise the people
up from the intellectual and moral
slough they have wallowed in for cen
turies. IIow the people of southern
Italy live is a mystery to me, for the j
land is only partially cultivated, vast
districts being unwirked, and ia none
of the cities and towns are there any
evidences of industry, such as manu
factories of any kind. There ia a vast
number of priests, forming a great ar
my of non-producers, preyiog upon
the people. This present liberal gov
ernment must be cognizant of the evils
of this miserable ciass Lr ail over
Italy they have disbanded gret mon
aaterie. and have made it obligatory
oa the priests to do military bervice.
Ia northern Lair things are much
better, and we find the land nniversal
!y cultivated, acd many factories. As '
a consequence the people are self? up- !
porting, and do not ai for aims, im- j
portunuig you at ail times and places :
as do thaie southera lazz:rooi, who are
concent with two or three cents a day ;
to provide sustenance, and to spend
tbe greater part of the day sireU'bml
upoo the ground with their faces to the
glaring sun. Por ddriZif they are
not so much to blme r they hav ',
been brought to it by the priest craft, .
a. tied somewhat by aa eaervstiog cii- '
mate. I forgot ta sav that Vesuvius
is now active, although not dangerous
ly so. Last oigbt we saw the glow, '
bright r&d, of the lava aa it siowiy j
pours down the mountain. Eruption j
such aa thi are of com moo occurrence
but are not attaoded with loss of life, 1
or much destruction of pr-jperty.
The museum here U mad up mostly
from things discovered at LTercuia
neum and Pompeii, at which places
excavations are constantly beiog made.
I thiak it the matt interesting place
ia ts world, for fc?r ij pr?cte-I tj
our view things that tell of the manner'
of life of tne people 1300 years ago.
Every thing is now as it "was then.
Household utensils have changed lit
tle, as have also tools of the artUacs.
I saw a set of surgeon's instruments
almost the same io appearance as I
have many times seen ia our doctor's
uffii:e. And the carnenter's jack and
smoothing plane of 100 years ago are
identically the same as we use now-a-days.
But in one thiDg they out
stripped us by far and that was in art.
This gallery here is especially rich ia
statuary discovered at IlercuiaQeara
aad Pompeii, and also in the excava
tions at Rome. There are innumera
ble Venice, Jjnos and Phycbes m
beautifully natural that yoa would at
rrost expect their marble lips to opea
and give utteraoce to words; Appol
los, Adoniaes and Jupiters triking!y
perfect in every detiai ; ia short, every
mythological character is presented
before oa. There are also the Roman
Emperors, orators and statesmen; the
Greek hemes and philosophers, ail ex
act portraits of those old feilows,
whom you have read about ia yonr
Plutarch and Gibbon. The splendid
art that produced these was not Romaa,
but R-me was the great patron of art,
and when ia the h of ber power
the Greek artiet3 flocked there and
left behind them more evidences of
their genius than in Greece itael&
Some of the frescos from the Pom
peiaa houses are very beautiful and
show that as paintera they were ia no
wise deficient, and possess so much
merit that they are often copied by
the modern artist The collection of
statues in the Vaticaa Maseatn is
probably the finest in the world, tat
tnere it is but a world of statues, and
has not so many interesting things to
interest the novice, as the Museum
here.
But, old fellow, let this benighted!
country poeess the wealth of art treas
ures, and give me America with her
splendid past and her magnificent fu
ture, with its one great idea of libsrty.
It is not possible to appreciate our
country until one has been in Europe.
Over there we have every thing:
schools, resources, possibilities of ev
ery kind ; here the people must fairly
fight for a decent existence. No brpe
of bettering their condition, no splea
did future, every thing dark befora
them. The great evil with us is that
we do not appreciate it, and are prod
igal of onr splendid inheritances. If
the economy of France and Germany
(among the people I mean) was prac
ticed by Americans for one yeax I
venture to say that the aggregate sav
ing would amount to enough ia one
yar to pay off the national debt.
We are prodigal in every thing, and
wickedly wasteful of our resources.
I rather expect to sail for America
about the middle of March, at least I
hope to do so. I want to return to
Chicago in time to make preparations
for the summer run. .We go from
here to the Reviera, thence to Paris.
We expect to be there about the 20th.
Tell Lizzie I shall sorely call oa ber
brother in London. I should havs
done so when there bad I not lost my
book containing his aadresa. We are
having a good time, but look forward
with pleasure to seeing you 1I in the
Spring. The girls are well and send
love to you all. It is about time for
me to close aa I have to go into the
towa to do a little shopping. Remem
ber me with love to one and alL
I remaia,
Yours affectionately,
