ENCOURAGE YOUR OWN MECHANICS

Do not send abroad for help, if you have
work to do, when it can be done in your own
neutrality-suspicious. at your next door. En-
courage your own honest, industrious mechan-
les. They need all the work they can get By
such course you keep money at home-assist
the worthy, and have just as good work per-
formed. 1t is the only way to make a town
prosperous-to support your schools and church,
es. Where there is disposition to send hum
dred miles for articles that, to say the least,
could be manufactured as well at your own door,
there will be little or no business done in the
place-the churches will be thinly attended and
all kinds of labor extremely dull. Wherever
mechanics are best employed prosperity is seen
the social virtues predominant, travelling
mountebanks and pedlars retire in disgust and
a kindly, brotherly feeling is experienced, which
is the source of unspeakable happiness.
Whatever you have done look around and
see if your neighbors cannot do il. If you have
house to build or shoe to tap, harness to
be made or pump to be bored, pack of cards
to be printed or well to be dug, just look a.
mong your neighbors, before you undertake to
send abroad, and if you have none around you
capable of the task, it will be time enough to
look elsewhere. Ii is wrong idea to suppose
nothing is serviceable that is made at home
We know OF many an instance where men
nave refused TO purchase work made by thell
neighbors, and sent to distant city for the ar.
tcles they needed, and paid third more fol
them when behold they had been manufactured
and sent away to sell by the very neighbors o.
whom they refused to purchase.
Let it be the motto of ALL will encourage
my own neighbors: In turn you will be en-
couraged also. A mutual feeling of good will
and kindness will spring up in your midst, and
prosperity will be observable in every street and
every dwelling.

A SINGULAR Casa Miss Purbeck recently
died in Salem, Massachusetts,, who had been suf-
ferng from painful and singular malady for 10
years. When she was about fourteen years old,
during fever, there was large gathering Of
some kind on the back Of her neck. Ii was lanced
but SO unskllfully, that she was thrown into
great deal Of nervous agitation. Shortly after she
was turned from sleigh and received severe
blow on the upper part Of the spine. When about
20 years old she became subject to spasms, which
continued up to the day of her death. She never
left her bed, took little nourishment, struck her
face often violently with the palm of her hand,
opened and closed her mouth with a force that
sometimes broke her teeth, while her right Shout
der blade made anoise as fit was dislocated.-
But what is peculiarly curious about this case is,
that during the period of her suffering she never
slept for more than few minutes at time. By
taking large doses Of opium. she could produce a
seml-unsconciousness, but no profound sleep.

HIGHLY MYSTERIOUS.

A good deal of excitement has recently been
produced in Munfordsville, Hart county, from
the following facts. A woman named Patsy
| Bowlin took poison some two weeks since for
the purpose Of killing herself, while under the
influence of which and thinking that she was
dying, she made the following statement to her
attending physician. She says that about the
time of the supposed murder Of Tbs. w. Waring
she was living with her father in Edmunton, a
small town in Barren county. She was walking
in the woods on certain day when she suddenly
came upon two men named Hill and Compton,
who had in their possession the body of a dead
man, lying between two logs. When they saw
her they caught hold of her, and were about to
kill her, but she begged for her life which they
granted upon condition that she would swear
never to reveal what she then saw. This she
| complied with. They then told her they had
killed ID Methodist preacher, and if she
ever revealed what she then saw they would
kill her. Before she left them they gave her
$50, thirty of which she gave to her sister who
| was then about moving to Missouri, and the re-
manning $780, she hid under the root of an apple
tree on the premises of her father. This state.
ment was made when she was under the i'm
preston she was dying, her physician having
told her that in all human probability she would
never recover. She however has recovered and
still persists in the same statement.
A party of gentlemen from Munfordsville and
vicinity went to the place where she said these
events happened to search for the body and
money, but could make no discoveries whatever
The general impression however seemed to be,
that there was some truth in the statement of
the woman, and Compton was arrested, and on
last Thursday was taken before an examining
court in Munfordsyille, and upon the statement
of the girl that she had seen Hill and Compton
in possession of the body Of man, whom they
said they had killed, he was held to bail in
the sum OF 81, 900 to appear at the next term of
Hart Circuit Court. Hill is at present in the
Barren county Jail on the charge of numbering
a man named Anderson.
A great many contradictory reports are in cir
culaton in relation to this affair." yet the above
we have from a gentleman who was present at
the examining trial and heard the statement of
the girl.
Some suppose that if the statement of the girl
be true, it must be the body of Thomas w.
Warning, from the fact that he was missing a.
bout the time she said this happened man
saying it was Methodist preacher-and go far
as she can describe the clothing of the dead it
suits those worn by Waring when he was mis-
sing. But the general impression in Hart eoun-
ty is if she saw dead bedy in possession of
these men, it must be the body of a pedlar who
was missing, as the last that could be heard of
him, was at the house of this man Compton,
1t is altogether curious affair, and has produce
ed considerable excitement. -Elizabetktown Ky)

THE LOUISVILLE TRAoEDY.-lt has been stat
ed by telegraph that young girl "Lzzy Sink
horn," was shot in a brothe at Louisville, KY,
by John Figg, who afterwards killed himself
The Louisville papers say that she died of her
wounds on the following day, at the house of
her parents, whom she had deserted. The Cou-
rier gives the following particulars:
"There were some affecting incidents con-
nected with this affair. The girl whose real
name we learn is Spikewell, had formed strong
attachment for the man Figg, who sought 10
murder her. He had persuaded her to forsake
her companions and live entirely with him. and
in spite of the most brutal treatment on his part,
she remained with him, and shared her ill-got-
ten gains with him. On the day previous to
the attempted murder, he had beaten and bruis-
ed her in such manner that she was compelled
to fly from him and seek shelter in the house of
Mrs. Renlro, where she had formerly resided
He watched the house from the back yard until
he saw her enter room in the basement-he
followed her into the room, and without saying
a word, sought to place the muzzle of pistol
against her breast in the region of her heart
She sought to avoid his aim by shrinking behind
the furniture in the room and begged him not
to shoot her. He persisted in his hellish pur
pose, however, and Immediately afterwards shot
himself She did not utter word of complaint
against him while in the house, and when they
spoke of removing her, she requested to see the
body. After embracing the inanimate form,
and gazing fondly on the features for few min
utes, she simply calculated "poor John!u and
turned away far more in sorrow than in anger ,
What an unutterable fund of affection was con-
veyed in these simple words, poor John'"

EXECUTION OF Whole FAM1LY-Misfor-
tunes seldom come singly. A most heart rending
instant OF this truth came to our knowledge on
Monday. A family called Kaufman, consist
ing of five members, part of whom reached this
city last week, have all with the exception of
one, been swept into eternity since leaving their
homes in Germany, period of about fifty or
sixty days. As they embarked at Havre for
this country, an older son who had Just finished
his educa ton for the practice of medicine, fell
overheard and was drowned. Three or four
weeks after as the vessel neared New Orleans,
the father Mr.. Phillip Kaufman, fell victim
TO the ship fever. The mother almost heart.

brought her youngest son boy about IL years
Of age, to the hospital, laboring under the same
disease, and the day following, she and young
daughter, the only surviving child, accompa.
MED his remains to the cemetery. Three weeks
only had elapsed, and the two had got to this
city, when the fell destroyer again made his ap.
pearance. The mother expired last Saturday Of

WHISPERING SPIRITS.

We are told of "minstering spirits" by the
lips that cannot lie: and it were a sacrilege to
doubt their mission. But they come never to
torment or terrify-they hold no communion
with the eye or ear of sense. In that solemn
hour, when the soul hovers halfway between
two worlds, when the veil of earthly vision
grows transparent with the dawning light Of e.
ternity, it may bet must be-that revealings
through that light are sometimes given.
A little girl in family of my acquaintance,
lovely and precocious child lost her mother al
an age too early to fix the loved features in her
remembrance she was frail as beautiful and
as the bud of her heart ,,nfolded, it seemed as
1t won by that mothers prayers, to turn instinc-
lively heaven ward. The sweet, conscientious,
and prayer-loving child was the idol of the be-
reaved family. But she faded away early. She
would lie upon the lap of friend who took a
mothers kind care OF her, and winding one arm
around her neck, 'Now tell me about my
mamma J" The request was never refused, and
the affectionate sick child would lie for hours
constantly gazing on her mothers portrait
But,
sPale and wan she grew, and weakly
Bearing all her pains so meekly,
That to them she still grew dearer,
AS the trying hour grew nearer"
That hour came at last, ana the weeping
The dew of earth was already on the flower, as
its lfe-sun was going down. The little chest
heaved faintly-spasmodic
do you know me darling % sobbed close in
her ear the voice that was dearest but it "a
woke no answer. All at once brightness as if
from the upper world, burst over the child's
color!ess countenance. The eyelds flashed o.
pen, the lips parted, the wan, curdling hand
flew up, in the little ones last impulsive effort,
as she looked piercingly above.
Mother !" she cried, with surprise and
transport in her tone, and passed with that to
her mothers bosom.
Said a distinguished divine, who stood by that
bed of Joyous death-"If had never believed in
the ministration of departed ones before, could
not doubt it now"
