WOMAN KrLLEp.-Mrs. Parrett, wife OF
WIN. Parrett, farmer, living in this county,
was killed last week under the following cir.
cumstances. She repaired to the barn about
ten O'Clock in the morning to search ior eggs;
and IN endeavoring to climb through two
heavy logs, supported by props, one above
the other, she accidently knocked away the
props and was caught by the fall Of the upper
log, and cto' ed to death. About noon her
husband returned, when her body was releas-
ed-her eyes had popped from their sockets
and her face become hideously black and
distorted. She left several little children to
the care of her husband, and very large
number of devoted friends.

and New Orleans where little regard is
paid to the Sabbath lay as at Cairo. II is a
