merchant was about to journey to the place
where the young man was located, he was re-

wife had prepared the steak biscuit and coffee
with her own hands and for table had used a

> WHAT THE PREsIDENT WILL Do.-The
National InteUigcncer, in an article IN re-
gard to the impeachment of the President,
holds this language: eff necessary, the
strong and iron hand of the Administra
ton will be invoked to stay the course
and prevent the consumation of radical
tneassn. The great oath of the President
to protect and defend the Constitution will
not be forgotten, and the people who sus-
tain him with their 500, 1000 majority of
the voting population North and South
will not forget him. Events have already
brought the Government to the verge of
another revolution. If the Radical ma
jority in Congress pursues its reasonable
course much longer, the Government, in
order to sustain itself, will have to arm
its supporters. Atthe call of the Presi
dent all his friends, North and South, and
the army and navy, will respond. In such
a contest, the issue cannot be doubtful
Congressman may be valiant fighters on
the floor of Congress. but when they come
to lead their cohorts into the fled, it will
be another thing. The read army and
great soldiers of the republic will be found
fighting under the flag. We advise the
opposition of the determined and fixed fact
that Andrew johnson will serve out his
constitutional term of Office

was aroused by violent knock at the door
Of his domicil. Surprising that some

jumped out of bed and opened the door,

as follows 'Do you liv, here? Are you
going to live here next summer? Do you

facility with which our people adapt them

their ruras occupations. The writer knows

Horrible Murder and Suicide.

Our city of late has been the scene Of
several murders, each more horrible in its
details than the other, and now we are
called upon to record another horrible
tragedy-a murder and o suicide-in
which a man, goaded on by guilty con-
science almost to madness, murders an in
nocent and loving wife, and then attempts
to kill himself. Our readers will remem-
Der that some fow iuonths ago, one Jonn
W. Perkins, a private Waterman at
Messrs. Waters g. Fox's white lead works
on Main street, was caught robbing the
safe, and was committed to jail, tried and
sentenced to the penitentiary, but after
ward pardoned by the Governor, on pre-
sentation of a very strong petition from his
friends, which asked executive clemency
on account of his age Che being over fifty
years. his large and dependent family,

seems to have fallen prey to melancholy,
and, being somewhat stunned and slight.
ed by those who had formerly been his
friends, became almost insane.
Yesterday morning at about two o'clock
he got up, and getting razor, awakened
his wife, and after speaking few words
to her seized her and cut her throat al
most from ear to ear. His daughter Rose,
q girl of twelve, who was sleeping in the
same room with little brother, being
awakened by the talking, rose up in bed
just in time to see her father commit the
horrible deed and hear her mother call
10, dear Rose.' She sprang out of bed,
caught her brother in her arms and ran
toward the door. He father followed
few steps, and then called to her in wild
manner to look into the trunk that she
would get record there which would ex-
plain all. He then went to his wife's
bedside, sat on it, and cut his own throat,
and falling back on the bed, laid his arm
around the neck of his then dead wife and
his cheek against hers. In this position
he was found by the police, who came
when the little girl Rose gave the alarm.
The razor was lying ON the floor, by the
bedside. On searching the trunk for the
record he had spoken Of, letter was
found. 1t was written very disconnected
ly and evidently while he was under great
nervous excitement. 1t was addressed to
his eldest daughter, and was written on
Christmas day.
When he was found he was alive, and
DR.. Forsythe being sent for, came aud
sewed up his throat, and up to late hour
last night he was still living, but, as the
doctor says, with no hope of recovery
