A Horrible Murder ReVealed-Dis-
cOyery OF the Body or Mr.. Wood
mansee-The Head OF and the
Body MntiIated. f4 AFn
Some six or eight weeks ago we
published in the Ledger an account
OF the sudden and unaccountable dis
appearance Of Mr.. Woodmansee, a
prominent and widely known mer-
chant Of Brownstown, Jackson
County The friends Of Mr.. W. were
almost distracted on account of the
mystery thatsshrouded his fate. They
advertised all over the country, giving
a full description of him, and Offer
ing a large reward for such informa-
ton as would discover his wherea-
bouts, or whether he YVES dead or
alive. But no information could be
obtained, and his relatives desoaired
OF ever again hearing from him. 81
But murder will out, and it is now
definitely ascertained that the last
night Mr. Woodmansee was seen. Cat
Seymour, on bis way to the East to
buy gopds). was his last living night
on earth. He had been in one Of
the hotels at Seymour during the
evening, if our memory serves US
right, awaiting the arrival Of the train
going east on the Ohio and Missis-
sippi railroad, designing to take pass
age on the train. About 9 o'clock he
left the hotel, leaving his baggage
there, but taking a large sum Of
money which he had upon his person.
This-was theslast seen of him alive. b
On.Thursdey last herbody Of Mr..
Woodnansee was found in White
River, not very far below the old vii,
lage Of Rockford. The head was sew
cred from the trunk, and strong
twine cod, to- which was attached a
heavy stone, was made fast TO that
part of the neck left and to the body
The string had cut deeply into the
neck The body, although much de-
cayed, bore the marks Of terrible mu-
tilation, inflicted upon it by the men
who murdered him, as there is no
doubt of his being murdered.
The discovery Of the body has
caused the most intense excitement in
Brownstown and throughout Jackson
County, and no effort will be spared tc
diseoVer, if possible, the fiends who
committed the murder. We under
stand that suspicion attaches to par-
ties in Seymour.-Neto Albany Ledger.

Another Removal,

IL IL announced that DR.. G. G..
GREEN, route agent on the Evansville
md SLouisyille Mail Line9 has been
removed. The Doctor voted for Old
Hickory in 1923, and at every presi-
Dental election since that time, hav-
ing last voted for LINCOLN and JOHN
SON., He, has been in the mail SER
vice. "A a. seAfs, having been fret APP
pointed by PIERCE. During this time
he has not been off duty two months
by sickness or neglect, has never lost
package, rHr has there been any
complaint Of The discharge Of his Off
cial duties. The Doctor was an ar
dent supporter of tho Government
during the war, and contributed liber-
ally to the support Of the sick and
wounded Union soldiers, and his only
daughter sacrificed her life in nursing
the wounded in the army hospitals.
He is now, in old age, with the sup
portpf a helpless family ofgrandchiId-
rem, elected from Office, simply because
he did not openly endorse my policy"
The New Albany Ledger, good Dem
ocratic authority, says: " DIR. GREEN
was a good Officer, and discharged his
duties faithfully" So much for John
sOnism.

The Metric System.

The system OF weights and measures
in use in the United States is in high
degree perplexing and inconvenient.
The decimal system is the simplest and
most beautiful ever devised; our cur,
rency system is conformed to it F.; why,
then, may not our weights and meas
ures be based upon the same principle?
France adopted a system of weights
and measures founded upon the deci-
NAL system of rotation, as long ago as
1895. This system has since been
adopted by Italy, Spain, Portugal,
many parts of Spanish America, Bel
gium, Holland, and portions of Germa-
ny and Austria. In 1864, an act was
passed by the Parliament of England,
permitting it's use throughout the Uni
ted Kingdom wherever parties should
agree to use it. Scientific mon in this
country have long advocated the in
PRODUCTION of the metric system ac-
cordingly Congress, on the 9th Of last
July, passed an act which, though
it does not make the system compulso-
rv, establishes it as legal.
The system is so simple that school
boy can easily master it in few days,
while months often whole terms-are
required to master the perplexitles, ln-
congruities, and Inconsistencies OF the
existing system OF weights and meas
ures. The perplexities of the common

rules OF reduction and addition. suh-
traction, multiplication and division of
compound numbers will be done awav
by the metric system.
A writer in the New Yo,l, T,;h,o
to whom we are indebted for MANY of
the facts contained in this article re-
marks: "The present system has but
one advantage-it is established. To
the metric system there is but one OBJ
Jectlon-t is not in use. But it is not
an experiment. In France it is popu-
lar, and In the markets and stores meat
and cloth are sold by the metre and
kiiogram. Once understood, it will be
everywhere used"
The INIT of length in the metric sys-
tenn is. the ten milionth part of the
distance from the equator to the poles,
or 1887 inches in length A rod 80

will not soon be universally used, yet
the day will surely come when it will
entirely dispIace our present system
In the October number of the School
Journal, there are two articles on this
subject, one from the pen of Professor
Brooks, OF Millersville, the other cop
led from the N. Y. Tribune, in which
teachers will find an exposition of the
metric system. We are indebted to
said articles for the facts contained
above and for further statement of
the terms and tables of the metric sys-
TEN which we propose to make next

A Section of the Harlem Rail-
read Sunk Am "A Marsh.

The residents of Duchess county
living along the line of the Harlem
Railroad, says the Poughkeepsie Ea-
gle, have had a subject of unusual in
terest to discuss for a few days past,
which was nothing more nor less than
the sudden sinking, to the depth of
twenty feet, of about forty rods of the
Harlem Railroad track, crossing
swamp near the ice-houses between
South Denver and Rawling. The sim
guIar event occurred on Friday last,
and, as may be supposed, it created
the greatest .wOnderment among the
population for miles around. This
marsh is soft and yielding to n great
depth, and the greatest difficulty was
experienced in laying the track across
it. 1t has sunk once before, shortly
after the road was built
All efforts to make a firm foundation
for the track at. this place have here
tofore failed. Piles have been driven
to great depth, but without reaching
solid ground, and the only way II foun-
dation could be made, was by filing it
with trees and brush. A freight train
passed over this spot but a few hours
previous, and it was noticed at that
time that the track bent beneath the
pressure, to the depth of nearly two
! feet. Several large cattle trains were
obliged to put back to Albany in con
sequence of this break. Passenger
trains transfer their passengers and
baggage to trains in waiting on the op-
posite side, the passengers reaching
the cars by walk of quarter of a
mile across the swamp on planks. On
Saturday night last, while the freight
Of passenger train WAS being trans
terred, trunk belonging to Il lady
passenger, containing $1,000, was sto-
len, and no trace of it has since been
| found.
