Horrible Atrocity.


A man named Humboldt, resident of
Aneheim, nearly sixty years old. was arrest
ed on Friday last, about fifteen miles from
this city, on the Overland road. for having
committed a rape upon little girl between
seven and eight years old. Itappears that
the wretch. Humboldt, was intimate in the
family OF man named Werder. and taking
advantage OF favorable opportunity COM
mltted the crime upon one of Werder' little
daughters, but terrible to relate, Humboldt
was afflicted with a horrible disease at the
time, and communicated it to the chilu. The
parents soon became aware OF the fact by the
disclosure OF the child, and upon Humboldt's
being taxed with the crime confessed it. The
unnatural parent compromised the affair for
the sum of $1,000, which HUMBOLDT paid
and left Anaheim with the intention of leay-
ing the country. The Sheriff obtained DOS
session of the facts. and learning that he was
seen in his wagon some distance West of the
city, started on the Overland stage in pur-
suit. first Disgusting himself, as Humboldt
was we'll known to be well armed. Arriving
at the fifteen mile station, he found Hum
boldt waiting there to see if he could recog
-nlze any of the passengers. Here the driver
stopped to oil the axles of the coach. Hum.
boldt, being near the coach, was requested to
assist the driver for moment to raise one of
the wheels. He consented and while STOPPING
down for that purpose, was seized by the arm
by the Sheriff and Immediately disarmed of
two pistols and bowie knife He had a
loaded double barrel shotgun in the wagon
at the time which was also secured Had it
not been for the ruse of the Sheriff. Humboldt.
no doubt, would have made desperate re-
sistance. He was brought to this city and
lodged in Jail where he now remains We
forbear to comment upon the atrocity of the
crime, but hope if found guilty, he will be
placed where there will be no further oppor-
tunity for so vile wretch to see even the
face of child during life. We leave the
public to judge OF the guilt of the father who
could condone so horrible a crime upon his
child.
The prisoner waived an examination, and
failing 20 enter upon recognizance in the sum

PLANTATION BITTERs.

This splendid Tonic is now used by all classes
of people for every symptom of "Stomach out
of order"
The secret of it is this: Plantation Bitters are
certain to correct the juices of the Stomach, set all
its machinery at work, and enable it to resist and
throw off the approaching danger. The tendency
of the operations of Nature is always towards a
cure all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonable and
sensible it is to help her along with gentle, yet
powerful Tonic, than to deluge and weaken and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds of disease and death.

the following anecdote, which is good enough
to be true:

for candidate for the Democratic party,
some Senators visited the Secretary of War.
General Schofeld, and urged him to become
their candidate. After they had laid their
plans and desires before him he went forth
to his superior and friend, General Grant,
and told him what had been DONE General
Grant smoked on and said nothing The
next morning General Grant went down to
General Schofield and said to him: . Scho.

dates of the two parties is going to be elected
President. Now, / do not care anything
about that thing. but | do care that the
country should have sound man, and not

candidate of the party if they will put you on

Naught is left but the black tomb of defeat to

the enemy was the grand pageant of Union
