PETROLEUM PAINr.-The more use petro.
leum paint the better like it. A few days ago
we painted an old wagon that looked as though
it woul Id tumble TO pieces like the old chaise
The hubs were full OF cracks, the holsters loose.
and the box decidedly shaky. We took off the
nuts, oiled them. put on wide washers where
the wood Yves rotten, and made all light and
snug, then put on all the oil the wood would
absorb, going oyer the hubs and tires several
times as fast az the Oil soaked in. We got in a,
least two gallons Of Oil. The cracks closed up,
the tires were tight, the box snug, and the
wagon looked almost as strong as q new one
We all know that soaking wheels in water will
tighten the tires. but 1t Is merely Temporary.
AS soon as the water dries ont, the wheels are
as loose as ever. The oil is absorbed more
rapidly than water, and will have. I think, the
same eject, and be permanent. But if not. go
over the wagon again as often as needed. It's
little trouble. 1t seems curious to me that
such use OF petroleum couldIbe patented In

Infant in her Arms.

Man Shoots his Sister-in.law with an
Infant In her Arms.
A frightful occurrence was witnessed at Ia.
eony, New Jersey, Sunday afternoon, in which
fire arms were used, and resulted in fearfully
WenndinR both woman and her infant child
In her arms. The particulars are about as fol-
lows:
man named Brophy, who is a laborer on
the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad, lives
at Tacony. where he ownes two houses-one
occupied by himself and son, James Brophy,
men. James and William Brophy, wo. ked
with their father, and seem to have had some
alterca alton previous to the present. arising, as
their neighbors say, from the fact that James
saved his money for the proper support Of his
family, while William spent his money for
srhat which is not bread, = and was intoxicated
the better part Of the time.
Williass seems to have enjoyed the honor OF
being 'shErd boy" and is said to have set fire
10 his fathers house not long since, out of re.
venge for some trif1ing affair; and continu-
ance OF Like dApreda,ions had induced his
father to order him 10 leave his premises. OF
this paternal edict Nilliam charged his broth.
er James and wife viii being the instigators,
and threatened to aveDGe Hhe injustice.
On Sunday afternoon william, standing In
front of his brothers house, repeated those
charges. and told him that he WAS now going
TO have satisfaction. Accordingly he went
back 20 his own house, where ne pfoaured
Springfield rifle, with which he returasa to
his brothers.. There the senior Brophy, vita
James. wife and child, Were seated upon the
porch. William making preparations to shoot
at Mrs. Brophy. She, with her infant in her
arms, turned to go into the house, but had no
sooner turned than William fred, the ball
taking effect in the lumbar regions, passed
through the pelyis, and made It's exit in the
right ilise region, causing most frightful
wound. The ball, eontin uing. passed etween
the chii6's legs, and, Just grazing one knee.
produced seyere coGtusion.
DR.. N. Roe Bradner. OF New York. being on
visit in the yicinity-a t MIR. Gatzmer's, Pres.
lcent OF the e. d A. Railroad Co.-was imme.
dlately summoned. and arrived on the spet
few moments after the shooting occurred
where he was soon joined by DR.. Hendric, OF
Holmesburg. The wounds were properly
dressed, and all the assistance that surgical
skill could invent, rendered. but at the latest
reports the woman was In a very critical con.
dition, having not rallied from the shock and
loss OF blood, and but little hope Of her reeoy.
cry is entertained. t.e ..
The police force at Frankiord were imme.
aIafely informed Of the transaction, and
promptly appeared at Taeony. and very soon
William Brephy was under arrest. Later he
WIS committed to Moyamensing prison, to
await his trial.
W. H. Gatzmer, Esq, and his son in law,
James Bradner, with their ladies, were in con-
slant attendance during the afternoon and
morning, rendering every assistance. and sup
plying all the wants Of the unfortunate woman
and her child.
