GENERAL D1ssAr1srAor1oN.-We have

Ger than has been manifested by our citizens
since the arrival of the news that Mr. Kelly
was about to be removed from the office of
Postmater at this place The efficiency
with which Mr. K. has ever discharged his
duties has rendered him a popular officer,
and with all whom we have heard express an
opinion upon the subject, we should be sorry
to see him superseded by any one
A remonstrance against this removal, and
the ppointmentoof Mr., Parker,r was circu-
lated among our citizens on Thursday and
Friday and they have, almost without ex-
ception, signed it The feeling is unani-
nous against the procedure, and judging
from the manner in which signatures have
been obtained to the remonstrance, there are
but few, if any, citizens in the county Who
will not sign it. 1t already contains some
five hundred names.

THANKS to Mrs. B. NJ. Washburn, for
her present to us of several rolls of nice,
fresh butter A good article of butter is
delicacy which it is not our good fortune
to enjoy every day and we can assure Mrs.

OF much OF the odoriferous stuff that finds

every second man, woman and child is af-

-Nountdtneer. ao rpa
The same thing may be said of this local

very few persons are afflicted with coughs.
However, the weather has, again become set

our afflicted people quit weeping at the pro-
boscis.
WIFE-MURDER AND SUICIDE.--A shock
ing and heart-rending occurrenceI took place
on Tuesday last at Centerville IN which a
woman Was shot and dangerously if not NOR
tally wounded, and her husband the peIpe-
traitor Of the deed, shot and killed instantly
by his own hand. 1t appears that the par
ties were Norwegians by the name of Smith,
who came from Orc Fino where the hus-
band had been mining with indifferentisuc-
cess, and on their arrival in Centerville, be-
ing destitute of means the wife was en-
ployed to cook for party Of men engaged
in the butchering business the husband

Smith became dissatisfied and desired his
wife to remove with him to this place. She
refused to do so, alleging as reason that
they had nothing to live on when they
should arrive in Bannock, and as she had
good situation and certainty in the way of
making a living through the Winter W here
they were-she preferred to remain Smith
left and come here where he remained some
two months, when he returned on Tuesday
morning last, and demanded that she should
accompany him to Bannock this she re-
fused to do, when he drew a revolver and
fred three shots at her and turned the pis.
tol and sent ball through his own heart
Only one shot took effect on the woman and
that is supposed to have been the last one,
as it hit her in the small of the back, and

endeavoFing to escape through door, when
the last shot at her was fired. 1t has been
supposed that jealousy was the cause of the
rash act-others ascribe it to insanity -
Smith is said to have been a sober, industri-
GUS man and must have been insane from
whatever cause produced, for certainly no
sane man would have resorted to means so
desperate to aveDge wrong however helm
