SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN GEORGIA. 1t
was briefly mentioned a few days ago
that Samuel Taylor and wife, an old and
respectable couple, residing in Twiggs
county, Ga, had been brusllly murdered.
The Macon Citizen says:
Mr.. Taylor was found dead in his bed y,
and his wife, Sarah, gasping in death,
along side Of him, each with one large
wound on the head, inflicted by the cut
ting edge Of an axe. Mrs. Taylor lived
in an insensible state about two hours
after Mr.. Taylor's son, James, reached
the house from his own residence, less
than a mile distant. The fend who COM
mltted the double murder had afterward
attempted to burn the house, having
kindlcd a fire on the bed, between the
murdered couple, and laid pile of kind
ling wood under the same, more cifectu-
ally to destroy all traces Of the atrocious
act. Owing to the bed clothing being
chiefly Of wooden material the fire did
not progress rapidly, but filed the house
with smoke, which caused child Of
Mrs. Taylor's granddaughter, sleeping
with its mother in another part Of the
house, 10 awake and rouse its mother,
who, though deaf and dumb, managed
TO arouse the negroes and give the alarm
to the neighbors, after putting out the
fire.
From an eyewitness Of the scene, we
learn that so offensive was the odor Of
burning human flesh and blood, and Of
wooden and cotton goods in the room
where the dead bodies lay that the COM
pany assembled (abOut dozen neigh
bors) were compelled 10 lay out the dead
and remove the remains Of the bedding
before the coroner, living twenty miles
off, could be summoned to hold an inquest
This was done on Tuesday afternoon,
and q verdict given according 10 the fore
going facts, and with suspicion that
Lewis, negro fellow Of Mr. Taylor's,
about % years old, was the murderer.

How TO BREAK Up a Coin. DR.. Hall,
in his Medical journal, gives the follow
ing directions for breaking up cold:
!" A bad cold, like measles and humps,
or other similar ailments, will run its
course Of about ten days, in spite Of what
you may do for it, unless remedial means
are employed within forty eight hours
Of its inception. Many useful life may
be spared to be increasingly useful by
cutting a cold short off in the following
safe and simple manner: On the first
day of taking cold there is a very I'M
pleasant sensation of chilliness. The
moment you observe this 60 to your
room and stay there; keep it at such a
temperature as will entirely prevent this
chilly feeling, even if itrequircs 100 de-
groes Fahrenheit. In addition, put your
feet in water half limb diego deep, as
hot as you can bear it, adding hot water
from time TO time for aquartcr Of an hour,
50 that the water shall be hotter when
you take your feet out than when you put
them in; then dry them thoroughly, and
put on warm, thick wooden stockings
even if it be summer; colds are the mos
dangerous; and for twenty four hours cal
not an atom Of food, but drink as larpel,
as you desire of any kind Of warm teas
at the end Of that time, if not sooner, the
cold will be cfectually broken, without
any medicine whatever"

A LIBERIA SENAToR.-Thomas Fuller,
a colored man, late of Cambridge, Md,
has been elected member of the Senate
of Maryland, in Liberia. A few years
ago he was sent out by the colored people
of Cambridge and vicinity, to report
upon the condition of Liberia. On his
return he gave very flattering account
of the condition of the country, but his
statements being discredited by the col
ored men, he returned to Liberia, COM

we learn from letter from him in the
Maryland Colonization Journal) is not
only a Senator, but is doing a good bu-
siness, with fattering prospects, and de-
lighted with the country. In his letter,
dated Cape Palmas, and which is adj
dressed to the Rev. j. Seys, he says:
Our farming interests | suppose you
would like to hear something about.
They have never been better than now,
and | am happy to inform you that they
are still increasing. 1t would do you
good to see Mr.. g. Smiths coffee farm,
of some thousands of trees, and many
others who have goodly number. Your
old friends Gray, Fooks, Bowen, &C.. (,
from near Berlin, on the Eastern Shore,
have gone to work in earnest. Mr..
Fooks has more work at his trade of
cabinet maker and wheelright than he
can possibly do, but he works hard at
this, and is getting as fine little farm
on the way as the next man. Gray and
Bowen have their ox-teams, and are
hauling away like fine fellows, all con-
tented and doing we'll think in a few
years we shall have a good lot of cotton
to sell. That emigration you sent out
to us last but one are clearing up and
making preparations for it. Mr.. Pres.

while waiting for it he is busying him.

us few moro emigrations like the two
last, Cape Palmas will begin to look up
and in a few years boast as much as any
other sister State. Improvements con
tinue to be made. We have in fact the
finest public buildings in Liberia.

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBBERs. We
have noticed that many persons wear
India rubber overshoes in cold dry wealth
or, TO keep their feet warm. This is
an injurious and evil practice. India
rubber shoes are very comfortable and
valuable for covering the feet during
wet sloppy weather, but they should
never be worn on any other occasion /;
their sole use should be to keep out wa
ter. They should, therefore, be put off
whenever the wcarer enters house. and
be worn as little as possible, because
they are air-tight, and both retain and
restrain the perspiration of the feet.
Tho air cannot be excluded from them,
or from any other portion Of the body.
for any length Of time, without sensibly
affecting the health. It is our opinion
that no habit tends more TO good health
than clean feet and clean dry stockings,
80 as to allow the FREQ perspiration Of the
neither cxtremities.

BRIDAL PRESENTS. -Hymen still con-
tinues to be the divinity in the upper
circles of the town. Every day there is
a grand wedding, and the carriages of
the guests fill the streets of the neigh
borhood: The great rivalry at these
weddings seems to be in regard to the
bridal presents, and every succeeding
nuptial show far eelipses all previous cx-
hibitions. One entire room is devoted
to these gifts, (some malicious persons
call them temporary loans, and the ar
ticles of 6Jouterie are spread out labeled
with the names of the donors, and fire.
quently with the accompanying notes.
The display is equal to a jewelers. shop.
There are knicknacks Of use and orna-
ment, ranging in value from five dollars
to five thousand and the aggregate cost
Of the present often swells TO a fabulous
figure. We have heard estimates as
high as twenty-five thousand dollars.
A mercenary wag remarked, on gazing
at one of these grand shows, that il
was really an object to get married. +"
Among the latest Of these bridal displays,
we noticed novelty in tho shape of sa-
cred vestments to be worn nearest the
person Of the bride -amuslin mystery of
lace and embroidery that battles all de-
scription. But the subject is altogether
too delicate, we think for public exhibit
ton. Besides, to find such ru6lcd
bosom in the nuptial paradise is not cx-
actly the thing ~ Y. Mirror

prayers are cuses-her God is II demon
her communion is death-hcr VEN
geancc is ctcrnity--hcr decalogue is

How THEY VoTE FOR SPEAKER. The
process is this: A deputy clerk rises and
slowly and distinctly pronoumces the full
name of each member, " Mr. William
Aiken @ Mr.. Charles j. Albright, +"
and repeating it three times if there is
no response; and so on in alphabetical
order through the two hundred and
thirty-four. AS his name is called the
member answers aloud Banks" or
4" Richardson, " or whoever he votes for.
If he has any explanation or remark to
make in reference to his vote, he makes
it at the same time. After the roll has
been gone through with, those who were
absent or did not vote when their names
were called (there are always ten or a
dozen such) rise and request their votes
to be recorded, which is accordingly done.
4 second deputy has kept tally on a
printed list, which hcnow passes oyer to
the one who called the roll. He reads,
"Thosc who voted for Mr.. Richardson
are Mcsrs. ," &C., and
50 on with reference to the others. This
recapitulation occupies seven Or eight
minutes calling the roll about twenty.
A last opportunity is now afforded for
any absentee to record his vote. Finally
a third deputy, who has been counting
up, hands the result in figures to the
clerk, which he announces, 4" Banks 1903,
Richardson 81, &c. An idea may be
formed from this how tedious the process
is. Six callings of the roll, without any
debate, occupy as much time as is usu-
ally spent i'll daily session. - Washing

SHOOTING AFFRAY "A fracas took
place on the farm of Mr.. Purdy, in
Baltimore county, near the eight mile
stone on the Frederick turnpike, On the
10Th inst. The particulars are thus
given in the Patapsco American, of Ell
licott's Mills:
The person who was shot was q Mr..
Elisha Woods, formerly aresident of our
village, and well known as quiet and
inoflensive man. He was manager on
Mr.. Purdy's farm, which adjoins that of
Dr. Barnum. 1t appears that the even
ing previous to the affray, DR.. Barnum
entered Woods house (Mr. Purdy, tho
gentleman owning the farm, being pres

menced using disrcspcctful language with
regard to the family of Mr. Woods. Mr..
Woods then requested him to leave the
house, but he would not go, whoreupon
Mr., W., aided by Mr.. Purdy, forcibly
elected him from the premises.
On the day following, while Mr..
Woods was at work near pine grove on
the premises, Barnum stole upon him,
armed with a double barrelled shot gun,
and fred one barrel at him, which did
not take effect. Woods then started to
run, whereupon Barnum discharged the
other barrel at him and fed The con-
tents of the last barrel took effect in the
left side of the neck and left arm of
Woods, inhicting painful but not fatal
injury. DR., G. w. Lawrence, of Cations
