The st Johns Republican has an account of n
fearful tragedy at llhacl, Gratot county, Mich.
u appears that at the residence Of Thaddeus
Green IN that vicinity, girl named Taylor and
Greens daughter were found murdered while in
another room Green himself was found with his
throat cut TIE Republican says.
Considering the circumstances connected with
che affair, as they have reached us, there can be
but one opinion MS to who the perpetrator of the
foul deed is, and this, we learn, is the only one
which obtains any credence in that vicinity. II
ls That tho man Green first murdered the two
girls ana then, preieirIng death to the penalty
Of the law pat the knife to lis own throat. thus
ending a miserable existence. And this belief
rs strengthened by the fact that the house was se-
curey fastened from the inside, and nothing could
be found indicating that any person or persons
mad lett the house after the act was committed.
Tut as to what should bring about such action
on the part OF Green is still more in the dark,
and circumstances would seem 10 warrant the
belief that the whole matter will ever remain SO
Although there are many conjecures asd sup
positions as to the cause, that there is lust
foundation for any of them we are not aware.
Our Informant states that Green was a man of
limited circumstances, and possessed of rather a
shiftless disposition, but that otherwise he bore
an ordinarily good character

CURE fOR DRUHKgENEss.- There is famous
prescription in use in England, says The Spri,g.
feid Republican, for the cure of drunkenness. Ly
which thousands are said to have been assisted
in recovering themselves The recipe came into
noioriety through the efforts Of John Vine Ilnl.
father OF the Rev. Newman Hall, and Cant Vine
Hail. commander Of the Great Eastern steam
ship. lie had fallen into such habitnal drunken
ness that his most earnest efforts to reclaim
himself proved unavailing. At length he sought
the advice Of nn eminent physician, who gave
him prescription which he followed faithfully
for seven months, and at the end Of that time
had lost all desire for liquors, although he hal
been for many years led captive by most de-
basing appetite. The recipe, which he after
ward published, and by which so many other
drunkards have been assisted to reform, is as
follows: "Sulphate of iron, grains magnesia.
10 grains; peppermint water, II drachms spirit
of nutmegs, ! drachm twice day." This pre
paration acts as n tonic and stimulant, and SO
partially supplies the place of the accustomed
liquor, aud prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostraton that follow sudden breaking
off from the use of stimulating drinks. In cases
where the appetite for liquors is not too strong
the medicine supplies the place of tue accustom-
ed drains entirely, but Mr.. Hall continued the
use Of liquors at first with the medicine, dimin-
ishiug the amount gradually until he was able
to throw away his bottle and glass altogether.
after which he continued to take the medicine a
month or two, till he felt that be was wholly
restored to self-control, and could rejoice in a
sound mind in sound body.
