SOMETHING TO TIE Po1HT.-We in
sert the following for the benefit of
those whom it may concern. Leaving
us to be the judge we should say it was
not without its application in this place:
HINTS TO MoTHERs.-If you wish to
cultivate a gossiping, meddling, CEN
serious spirit in your children, be sure
when they come home from church, a
visit, or any other place where you do
not accompany them, to ply them with
questions concerning what everybody
wore, how everybody looked, and what
everybody said and did; and if you find
anything in this to censure, alway do it
in their hearing. You may rest as
sured, if ycu pursue course of this
kind, they will not return to you un-
laden with intelligence; and, rather than
it should be uninteresting, they will by
degrees, learn to embellish in such
manner as shall not fail to call forth re-
marks and expressions of wonder from
you. You will, by this course, render
the spirit of curiosity-which is so early
visible in children, and which, if rightly
directed, may be made the instrument
of enriching ard enlarging their minds
"a vehicle of mischief, which shall
serve only to narrow them.

MURDER.-We learn that on Friday
last man named John McMahan killed
Mr.. Chas. P. Waggener, aged about 91
years, son of Mr.. VIM. Waggener, of
Mason county, Va, under the following
circumstances: 1t appears McMahan
had been drinking pretty freely for some
time previous, and on the day in ques-
ton loaded two guns, and started over
the river from Pomeroy, stating that he
intended to kill somebody, and threaten
ing several with whom he previously
had some difficulty, and meeting Mr..
Adams, in company with Mr.. c. P.
Waggener, he drew up and fired at the
former, without taking effect, when the
latter rushed at McMahan for the pur-
pose of arresting him for this attempt at
murder, when Mem. jumped down the
hill and throwing down the gun he had
just discharged, raised the loaded one
and shot Mr.. Waggener through the
body, killing him almost instantly. He
was Immediately arrested and placed in
the Pomeroy jail for safe keeping, and
on Saturday morning taken to Pt. Pleas
ant. where he will remain incarcerated
until the next term of the Mason county
Circuit Court, when justice will be me-
ted out to him.

The ERIcssoN SHIP.-In reply to the
call of the N. York Commercial, for in
formation as to the present condition and
prospects of the caloric ship, Capt. Err
lesson, the inventor, has written letter
in which he states that this ship is un-
dergoing certain notifications which
will insure increased power and speed.
He asks the public to have patience, as
the modification requires work of great
magnitude. He adds:
As the modification of patented ma
chine is not properly subject for public
discussion until completed, you will,
am sure, see the propriety of my not
furnishing statement of what is now
51ing done to the machinery of the ca
loric ship. As soon as the work is com
pleted, the owners of the ship will be
most happy again to invite the inteili-
gent and liberal press of New York to
see the result of the second step in the
development of the great motor.

Niagara Fall. and Lake Erie.

Professor Silliman, the eminent
geologist, discredits the opinion ad-
vanced by some that the gradual wear
ing away of the rocks of the Niagara
Falls may possibly result in draining
Lake Erie. In recent lecture he re-
marked:
"They will not hault at their present
station, but retreat slowly and surely
about two miles further, where they
will stop again for an unknown period,
and probably forever, since at this place
the hard limestone will form both base
and top of the Falls, and thus stop the
rapid destruction of the rock. Some
have thought that they would finally
reach Lake Erie, and that then the
Lake would be completely Drained
Such an event is impossible. At the
point already mentioned, the torrent
will gradually wear away the surface of
the limestone, forming a rapid, and
henceforth Niagara will be one of the
lost wonders of the world" A.ol

Rev. Mr.. Tomlinson, distinguished
Methodist divine, quite advanced in

throat with razor, last Tuesday morn

in his feelings and opinions, and had
acquired a passion for reading GGrHE's

QUEEN VIcroRIA AND HsR FANnLY.-
A letter from London to the New York
Sunday Times, says:
Born May Gath, 1919, Queen victo-
ria will speedily enter into her S5th
year. She fully looks her age. The
family tendency to stoutness has recently
developed itself in her, and she is get
ting vulgarly fat. The fact is, she takes
little exercise, has a mind not easily
troubled by trifes, and has a great sp-
petite. Her food is Of the plainest, but
She eats heartily, and bottled stout is
her "favorite vanity"
Queen Victoria has only two things
to trouble her-6rst that q revolution
viii drive her from the throne, sending
her to live in the United States; and
next, the apprehension that she will die
IN childbirth. Neither are very proba-
Die. In her recent accouchment, she
was so alarmed that, for the first time,
DR.. Locock administered chloroform,
under the influence of which partarstiOn
took place.
Prince Albert viii go to Gotha, (the
petty capital of his eldest brother
Espetty Duony) some time in June.
Prince Ernest, reigning duke OF Sake
Coburg and Gotha, have no children,
and Prince Albert is his heir. But the
English people, who had expensive ex-
perience in the case of Hanover, viii
not allow Prince Albert to succeed his
brother. The intended visit, therefore,
is to decide on has surrender of the
heirdom, his second son taking his
place. This young gentleman, Alfred
Ernest Alfred, was born in August,
1874.

Ey The JAMES LAuGHLIN, Capt.
James Newton's new boat, reached our
landing on Friday last. where she is now
being painted and undergoing repairs,
preparatory for the summer business.
The following is from the Evansville
Journal. That her capabilities are not
small" all who witnessed her arrival can
testify:
JAMES LAUGHLIN.-This large and
excellent Evansville and Wabash packet,
is making quick and successful trips in
the trade, under the command of Capt.
Newton, who pushes her through ac-
cording to the best of her capabilities,
whish are by no means small. As an
evidence of this fact, the Jas. Laughlin
made her last trip from Terre Haute to
this place in 27 hours less 5 minutes,
including ten landings, each requiring
her to Ground too," and two weddings.
This is very quick time, and reflects
credit upon boat and officers. She is
advertised a mistake-but she ought
to be advertised to start out this morn
ing for the Wabash. Passengers will
find her Accommodations the best in the
trade, she being new and large steamer;
while shippers can be generally accom-
modated.

written The fee for recording it amount
ed to S2l 30. 1t relates to property

and having made all they can by their
speculations in surrounding lots, are
becoming Indifferent whether the build
ing is finished at all or not. In conse-
quence there are not wanting persons,
both in New York and elsewhere, pub
licly to express belief that the edifce
will never be completed, at least by its
present managers

CHINA.-The Washington Union, in
alluding to the events in China, says if
the ports of that country were thrown
open to the world, no other nation could
compete with the United States for the
commerce of the Chinese Empire, and
it regards the present moment as auspi-
cious for the overthrow of that system
of exclusion which has so long shut out
all foreign nations. 1t says:
"a territory of more than FIVE mil
lions of square miles, four thousand
walled cities, population of three
hundred and fifty millions, an army of
nearly two millions of soldiers, fleet of
a thousand sails, and an annual revenue
of two millions of dollars, are some of
the evidences of its immeasurable
wealth. Among the productions of its
soil, every acre Of which is in the high
est state of cultivation, are seen nearly
all the richest offerings of the vegetable
and mineral kingdoms. Its manu-
factures, especially of porcelain and silk,
are unsurpassed by any nation. What
incalculable benefits would the United
States reap from an unrestricted COM
merce with an empire so teeming in
wealth? What a market for the pro-
ducts of American skill and industry
might be found among the redundant
of Chinal The surplus pro-
duction of agricultural labor would be
acceptable to a people who
reap scanty and precarious suhsistsnce
from an overcrowded SOIL"

for Deitz as a mason, interceded Tor
Lawrence, who managed to get away

then tied his hands behind him, and took
him to small piece of brush, near by;
then tore off his coat, vest and cravat,
and with jack knife cut off his hair,
occasionally cutting the scalp, and re-
that they had plaster that
would heal 1t up, they tarred his head
and body, and poured tar into his boots,
After exhausting all their ingenuity this
way, each cut stick and whipped him
until they got tired. They then tied his
hands before him, and started him Tor
he bouse each of them kicking him at
every step. They made him take the
papers back, but took them away again,
when, after knocking him down again,
they left him.
