AWFUL MURDER.
White Greek, October 3, 1888.
Dear Sir-I have just learned by gentle
man direct from the dreadful scene, that
Mrs. Bates, wife Of Philorman Bates, was
most inhumanly murdered by the discharge
of rifle through the window of her dwell
ling house, at O'Clock on the evening of the
I'd inst, in the town of Shaftsbury, Vermont,
near the New-York line. The ball lodged
in her head, enter ing at the forehead. What
adds to the horror of this horrid affair, is
the circumstance that suspicion Immediately
fell upon brother Of the deceased's husband,
Archibald Bates, as being the agent Of the
deed, he having threatened her life the dav
previous! The culprit was apprehended
within mile of the house and secured be-
fore his victim brc;,thrd her last, which took
place about O'Clock same evening.
The supposed provocation, if provocation
it can be called, for the unparalleled trans
action, was the circumstance that the father
of the brothers was about to negotiate with
Philorman to take the principal share of his
property and take care of him through his
old age. The deceased WIS of amiahle and
excellent character, and highly esteemed by
the father and all who knew her: and TO this
circumstance the murderer probably suppo-
sed his brother was principally indebted for
the good fortune about to befall him. This
is all that thus far appears.-Aibany Journal.
Death Of Jacob Lorrilard NO person has
descended to the tomb, for q. great length of
time more deeply regretted than the gentle
man named at the head of this article. He
commenced life with nothing but by strict
attention to business, and with great fidelity,
hn ,hat hraO loI n co1xy
fortunc-probably but little, if any, short of
two millions Of dollars. With all his acqui-
sition of wealth, however, he has been most
benevolent citizen. His hand has been al
ways open to assist the poor and unfortunate;
but, above all, he has been the ready helper
of the young man commencing in life. No
man can be mentioned in this city, who has
extended so much aid and assistance to this
class as Mr.. Lorrilard. In all his intercourse
with others he was provcrtially modest and
unassuming. His hubits Of lille were retir-
ing. Although possessed of a sound mind.
and an excellent Judge of men and things he
never obtrudcd his opinions on others. lie
was active in various characters, but tho
gifts were usually those that did not appear
in public. He enjoyed the greatest conf
dence from his fellow citizens. He repre-
scented the city in the Legislature of tho
State and in tho Common Council, and WIS
one of the prominent men in forming the
Constitution Of the city. He was long Pre-
sidcnt Of the Mechanics Bank. He left
large family, numerous circle of friends,
and all extensive acquaintance, to mourn his
loss.-N. Y. Express.

REMEDY FOR THE HEADACHE. A gentleman
came into our office the other day complain.
ing of violent headache. He sat down, and
after an hours conversation took out his
pocket-book, and paid us for his printing for
the last year. When he rose to depart, we
inquired if the pain in his head was relieved.
He said it was entirely gone. Hence we inn
mediately concluded, that s. paying the prin-
err" was sovereign remedy for the head
ache. This remedy is made known TO the
world free of charge, and for the benefit of
those persons who are subject to the distress
ing headache. We care nothing about it
ourselves. The public may rest assured that
we are actuated by the purest feelings OF
benevolence.H Try it; it is no quacKery.-
