A FATHER KILLED BY AN INSANE DAueH-
TER.-The Eaton (Michigan) Republican
gives the particulars of truly melancholy
affair which occurred in that town week be-
fore last. While the family Of Levi Leon
ard of that place taking breakfast, daugh.
ter whelhad been considered insane, rushed
into the house (the door being open) and
before any OF the family could give the alarm,
dealt her father four blows with a sharp axe
on the headl one passing clear into the
brain, breaking out piece of the skull
What is most strange, is that as soon as Mr..
Leonard was struck, he jumped up and ran
after the girl with. all his might, until some
of the neghbors' came and caught her, when
he fell down gasping. He was traced through
the field by the profuse bleeding. He was
taken to the house and soon after became
tinsensible. He fingered until next morning
when he expired. He was good Ean, re-
specteI by all,Who knew him. The girl is
now In Marshal jail awaiting her trial.

SINGULAR FACT IN PoLITIcs.-You can
not find nowadays, any body who was op-
posed TO Jefferson or Jackson. The 1912
Federalist who has been through oil the
transmigrations Of tba: party, and finds hlH-
selfin 1856 Republican" will not admit
that he made bitter war on those two De-
'mocratlc Statesmen. Look over the ranks
Of Black Republicanism, and all the most
violent enemies of Jefferson and Jackson
are there; yet they dare not avow their Tor
mer hostility to them m. This is not only com
plimentary to the Democracy, but it Is an
avoYal Of their own hypocrisy; as they hre
afraid to admit their honest sentiments, lest
they should scare off the few former Demo
cruts who are acting with them, and who
are ign5rant Of The kind Of company they are
