It used to be consid- cred the "f fair thing among a "select party" to send persons to his store for arti- cles at variance with what actually consti- tutes the stock in trade of members of his profession. It so happened one day, as one of the "party" above mentioned was descending the steps of the Burnett house, he encountered specimen of Kentucky, who inquired of him where he could purchase iewsharp. Of course he was directed to Els store. as the establishment where they kept the largest assortment at the most req sonable prices. Our friend proceeded at once to the place indicated and found E.. (who, by the way, was troubled with an impeachment of speech, waiting on GUS toner, and, after stating his wants, was po- litely requested to "w-wait few mo-mo- ments.'' After despatching his business with the aforesaid customer, he gravely ap- preached Kentucky with a pair of gtoUe- stretchers and observed in a very mild tone, |" -we-shall h. have to t-t-take your num- mum measure" whereupon he inserted the stretcher into his mouth, Spreading open hls countenance to the full extent of the /" stretch" and with a face indicating the utmost seriousness, remarked to the aston ished Kentuckian, "Y-young man, me-me hyent ger-ger-got ony of your s-s-SiSe.''

Horrible Afair-A Woman Murders her
 AdOpted Son

A horrible affair took place at Scarboro' about mile from the Oak Hill depot on Sunday night. Mrs. Wilson, white woman, wife of Samuel Wilson, colored, whols now absent at sea-murdered her adopted son Frank Wilson, a Cuban mu- latto boy about 15 years of age, and then endeavored to conceal her crime by cutting up the body, placing portion of it in the oven, and another portion in the fire place and then setting fire to the house-having previously removed all of the furniture. After the house was well on fire she gave the alarm, about 3 o'clock Monday morn ing, and the neighbors gathered, but 1t was too late to save the building. They sub- sequently observed Mrs. Wilson place a plank over the ruins and go to the oven and take something out and carry away, which was afterwards found and proved to be portion of human body. They then ex- amlned the oven and found that it contain ed quantity of bones and mass of stuff. Without disturbing 1t they sent to the city for coroner to come out. Coroners Gould and Kimball went out and com mcnced an investigation. In the oven they found the bones, and portion of a body. In the fireplace they found the heart, liver and portion of the entrails. Mrs. Will son said that they were the remains of q sick lamb that she had killed and endeavor- ed to burn up so that the fowls should not get at 1t. But Doctors Tewksbu1v, Chad wick and Sturtivant testified that the re- mains found in the oven and tire-p place, were portions of human body. A hatch ct, with blood upon 1t, was found, and blood discovered upon the bed tick. The affair created a tremendous sensation in that neighborhood, and hundreds focked to the spot yesterday. It is the general impression of her neighbors that Mrs. Will. son, who has been at variance with the boy, killed him and then endeavored to hide her crime, as we have before stated. The boy has not been seen since Saturday evening, and when Mrs. Wilson was asked about him, she stated that he had gone to Buxton. A messenger was immediately dispatched to that place, and he learned that the boy had not been there. We un- derstand that the coroner's jury returned a verdict, that the remains were those of Frank Wilson, and that he came to his death by violence inflicted by Catherine Wilson. Mrs. Wilson was brought into the city last evening and committed to iail to await an examination.
 Wilson, the murdered lad, was. brought to this city some six years since by Capt. Gooding.
