Man Murdered bx his Wife .

The Logansport Journal gives the follow.
particulars Of murder which occurred it that
vicinity:
Sufficient evidence has been brought out to
satisfy all that Conrad Suit, whose suspic-
ious death we noticed few weeks since, was
killed by his wife. After the burial the body
was disinterred and examined The physi-
clans agreed that the marks upon the body
were produced by blows that could not have
been accidentally received. The stomach
was sent 10 La Porte, the contents analyzed,
and found to contain poison. A neighbor,
named John Hopkins, whose intimacy at
Suits house had been suspected, arrived there
before Suit died; he was seen whilst washing
the wounds, to give something in spoon to
Suit, who made every effort to reject t. Hop
kins has previously told the neighbors that he
had powerful poison for dogs and wolves,
which would kill a man if rubbed upon hi N.
AT the time Of Suits death, Hopkings' wife
was very i'll and expected 10 die. Since that
time she has recovered partially, and Hop
klns has gone crazy. One of the children told
neighbor the day before its fathers death
that they were going TO have q funeral at their
house that week, and when asked to explain,
said that its mother said that father would
die and be buried this week." Mrs. Suit al.
SO told brother Of Suits that she intended
to kill Suit before the snow came.
After the final burial, Mrs. Suit sold Off the
things and left. She was heard of last Sun
day five or six miles above Logansport, near
Eel river. at a1 3

We believe we have now said enough as

Democratic friends. Without your aid all
eur writing, and printing, and circulating
Prospectuses will amount to nothing. You
are scattered all over this great Democratic
State-we are confined to little narrow
room, working, and fretting, and fussins, for
the triumph of the great principles that are
to free all nations, as those principles freed
us-but without your aid to circulate them
among the people, our Iabors must be confin-
ed to small area, and of but little effective
force. How many Democrats in Ohio will
then give us lift in this matter? We hope
many-many of them.
