A HORRIBLE CRIME.

Last Saturday. we learn from the w abash Ind
Intelligencer a man named William Joy was con-
victed of burning has child to death, and
sentenced to eighteen years confinement In the
penitentiary The principal witness against him
was his little daughter Nancy, whose story to the
jury is thus given by the Intelligencer:
Her little brother John, child about four
months old, was quite unwell, and had been SO for
some days, and was consequently fretful, and had
cried considerably during the night and disturbed
her father. Early in the morning her father
told her to get up and make fire. She did
so-made the fire principally of brush, because
there was no other wood prepared. After the lire
began to burn, the child continuing to cry and
fret, her father became enraged, and snatched the
child from it's mothers arms tore every particle OF
clothing off it, and then took it by one arm and
one leg, and held it over the fire until 1t was
burned IN several places to blister. He then
struck the little sufferer two blows with his hand,
leaving upon it's body the marks of his fingers, and
then threw it into the cradle or bed. His wife
and daughter struggled to get the child away from
him, but were unable to do SO, and when Mrs. Joy
found that he going to burn the child to death,
she ran out of the house to prevent seeing the
sight, and get out of the hearing of the child's
screams. Joy took down his gun and pointing it
at her compelled her to come in. He then left
the house and did not return, as We understand,
for day two. Four days after this terrible
scene the little suffering child died and was buried.
None but Joy and his wife and two young daught-
ers knew anything about the cause of It's death.
The neighboring women who came in and assisted
to lay out the child, found it so mortified and
decayed that they could not wash it, or even take
off the clothing upon it. Joy told his wife and
daughters that if they said word about it
he would kill them, and they believed him, and
so kept the horrible secret.

WHEAT AND CoRN.-An interesting fact ,,r.
the Philadelphia Press, was developed at the n.y.
meeting of the Agricultural Society, Dr. Five w.
called the attention of the members to the q.
that the wheat crops of this country were f..
diminishing so far as the number of bushels raissS
to the acre was concerned. He stated thai -
Ohio State but little over Fifty years DID, the c,oa
had fallen off from forty bushels to the acre to abon
sixteen while in the best portions of New York
where thirty bushels used to be considered fair
crop. only twelve bushels are now raised. m"
falling off in other States had been equally mari
ed; but while this was the fact with the wbp,,
crops, he was glad to know that the amount If
corn produced to the acre had largely increased
and was still. increasing enormously.

wife of a man in Dagsborough Hundred, Del, left
her husband, and with young man took up her
residence in Millsboro. The husband made his
appearance one day, and the two men proceeded
from the house and sat down upon log and calmly
talked the matter over regarding in all its bear
ings. The result was, that the young man who
was in possession ofthe wife agreed to give the
lawful but I'M ured and forsaken husband the sum
of seven dollars and dog for his wife Thus was
the difficult and dangerous business compromised
to the full satisfaction of all parties concerned and

coNvIcTFD OF MURDER.

The trial of Erastus Hogg in Raleigh for the
killing of Sherwood G. Parrish at Winston's Hotel
in that city some time in January, was brought to
close On Thursday the 18th inst, by rendition
of verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree
Parrish was clerk at the above house, and Hogg
was boarder. Some difficulty having occurred
between the two, the proprietor of the house, to
please Parrish, refused to allow Hogg to continue
to board there Parrish threatened to cane Hogg
if he again appeared at the table, and took posi-
ton at the door to prevent him from going to the
supper table AS Hogg passed in Parrish snapped
pistol at him, whercupon he turned and stabbed
Parrish, killing him almost instantly.
The prisoners counsel asked for a new trial on
the ground that one of the States witnesses had
been allowed to narrate the circumstances of diff
fculty which had occurred between the wit ness
and the prisoner II years ago, in which the wit
ness had received stab from the prisoner. 1t
was contended that this circumstance had preju-
diced some of the jury against the prisoner. Judge
Dick overruled this point and on Friday proceed
to pass sentence.
His honor commenced by asking the prisoner If
he had anything to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him, and receiving reply, he
besought him to look we'll at his awful situation.
He had been tried by a. jury of his own choosing,
and that jury had found him guilty of murder.
He warned him not to place too much confidence
in the hope that lie would get trial at the
hands of the Supreme Court, assuring him that
his chance were meagre and against him. He
admonshed him to make his peace with his God
and prepare for death. He then continued, "The
Judgment which the Court now pronounces upon
you, is that you be remanded to the prison from
whence you came, and there remain until the goth
day of May next, on which day, between the hours
of 10 A. NJ, and p. NJ, the Sheriff shall take
you to the place of public execution and hang
you by the neck till you dead And may God
have mercy upon your soul"
From this judgment the prisoners counsel took
an appeal to the Supreme Court.

TExAs.-The Houston Telegraph, of the LIST
instant, in its weekly commercial review, remarks:
The accounts from the interior are everywhere
favorable, crops universally starting well, and
are in considerable degree more forward than the
average seasons. With no set back we may expect
to the first bale of cotton in our market
by the middle Of July at farthest, and some plant
ers have set their stakes by the lst of July. The
wheat crops had, up to the latest dates sustained
no injury from frosts and the season has now so
far advanced to render the danger ofsuch injury
very slight. The crop promises to be larger one
than that Of any previous year.

her hair had been ruined while testing hair DIVES.

test the value of his new discovery. Children with

and the little woman looked anxously through the
end window of the rear car for her missing hus-
band who was in the depot attending to the pur-
chase Of tickets, &c. The speed of the cars in
creased and the woman looked more anxious. The
husband now appears, and commences to run.
He gains on the cars at first, but they are too far
ahead of him, and soon leaving him behind,
although he ''did run we'll for a season." 1t is
now the wife's turn to try what she do. In
agony she implorcd the conductor that her husband
is left, but he can't help that. II starting on
