A Mysterious Tragedy Cleared Up.

We announced q day or two since that Miss Emily
Jackson had been arrested at Sunsh after the dis.
charge of Troy, upon suspicion Of having some know
ledge of the murder of Miss Isaphene Allen. On
Tuesday she underwent an examination before ESQ.
Morrel and made most startling confession, impli-
eating Foreman as the murderer. Miss jackson it
will be remembered, was an unwilling witness upon
the occasion Of Foreman's first trial, and was sup.
posed to have been under restraint owing to the fact
that she was at the time bound girl in the prisoners
service. She now states that Sunday morning the
10th of October 1857 she left Foreman's house to 20
to church. She went as far as Yohos, and it being
late she concluded to return In returning she met
Miss Allen on the road and made an appointment to
meet her in the afternoon at the spring where the
murder was committed. This was done because Fore.
man suspected that Miss Allen was trying to entice
Miss Jackson away from his house, and the two girls
did not wish him to see them together.
They met at the spring, and intended going to the
house Of neighbor Wilson's, but as they were about
leaving Foreman came up and accused!Miss Allen of
coaxng his girl Miss JACKSON away. As he said
this he picked up stone and threw it at Miss Allen
striking her on the back of the head and telling her
Jackson to beat the fallen girl with stone, but she,
refusing to do it, he, with brutality unparalleled
finished the work himself and threatened to kill Miss
Jackson ii she revealed the deed.
Miss Jackson was released after her examination ;
warrant was issued for the arrest of Foreman, and
from visit to his counsel, in ST. Clairsvle. It is
said that when arrested, Foreman exclaimed with
great emotion, " My God, did she tell?' A prelim
nary examination was waived, and the prisoner was
taken to Woods6ed and confined in Jail to await his
trial at the next term of the Court Of Common Pleas
for Monroe county. The people of Sunfsh exhibited
much feeling after the girls confession, and it wal
feared by some that Foreman would be summarilJ
lynched by the excited populace.

her rights.
Mr.. Douglas said he felt it incumbent on him as
Northern Democrat to make reply. When he adj

which MI. Brown had approached the question, he,
too, would put his opinion on record in such man.

KINDNESS TO DOMESTIC ANIMALS
We cannot enioin kindness to domestic
animals with too much earnestness, and
especially at this season of the year,
when they frequently suffer severely
from pitiless storms. In connection
with kindness, they should be we'll fed
and provide ] with warm shelter. Where
is the man who canneglect his domestic
animals, and feel that he is not culpable?
If any such exist, they must, indeed, be
hardened, and ealIous to the feelings
that naturally pertain to human beings
After we have well fed our stock at
night, and seen that they are provided
with clean bedding, we can sit down by
our fires, while the tempest is waiIing
without, and feel a consolation that we
have done our duty in regard to the
dumb animals entrusted to our care.

MANY FACTS IN SMALL COMPASS
The number Of languages spoken is
4,o64 The number of men is about
equal to the number of women. The
average Of human life is 80 years.
One quarter die before the age of T.
One half before the age of II. To
every 1000 persons, ! only reaches 100
years. To every 100 only reach rs
years: and not more than l in 500
reach so years. There are On the earth
1000, 00O,O Of inhabitants. Of these
33,333,333 die every year: 81, 1924 die
every day; 1870 every hour; and 60
per minute, or one every second
These losses are about balanced by an
equal number Of births. The married
are longer lived than the single; and
above all, those who observe q sober
and Industrious conduct. Tall men
live longer than short ones. Women
have more chances of life previous to
the age of fifty than men, but fewer
after. The number of marriages are
IN the proportion Of seyenty-six.to one
hundred. Marriages are more frequent
after the equinoxes, that is, during the
months Of June and December. Those
born in spring are generally more ro-
bust than others. Births and deaths
are more frequently by night than by
day. Number of men capable Of bear
ing arms is one fourth Of the popula-
ton.
