A Husband Kills his wif.'s seducer.


lCorrsspondence Fremont Journal.
FrNDLAr, o., April II, '65.
EDIroRs JOURNAL :-On my arrival at
Findlay this afternoon at 3 o'clock, l found
the people greatly excited aud making their
way with all possible speed to the court
house, where hundreds were congregated ;
on seeing which l repaired TO the spot as
fast as possible, and to my surprise 1 found
a murder had taken place, and the murder
er and murdered were together in the court
house under the care of the Sheriff.
The particulars are these: A man by the
name of Joseph Wibmel had for sometime
been in the habit of frequenting the house
of Adam Conklin and paying particular at
tentiOn to his wife. Itappears that Conklin
had forbidden Wihmel going to his honse. to
see his wife in his absence under pain of
being shot. Notwithstanding this, it seems
that this afternoon Conklin went home and
found Wihmel there, in the bed room with
Mrs. Oonklin, TIE iufuriated husband
got his rifle, and Winner, finding that he
wai discovered, seized an old saber which
was lying handy and jumped out of the
chamber window. He was pursued by
Conklin and Oyertaken in the alley back of
the American Hotel, and as he fiourished
the saber Conklin shot him through the
bead, killing him instantly. OOnklin gave
himself up to the authorities. His trial will
take place Tuesday, April 2Ist S.H.R.
The Findlay correspondent Of the Toledo
Blade says that Wilmer was clerk in the
Recorders Office, aud Conklin night watch

The Democracy of Madison town
ship in our neighbor county of Hancock,
at recent meeting adopted the follow
ing resolution, slightly changed from
one of Brick Pomeroy's chaste editor
ials:
"Resolued, That all such creatures as Lin
cola, the tyrant-Stanton, the traitor-But-
Ter, the woman-insulter and thief-are the
elect of the Devil and that there will be q
day Of joy TO earth's children when the lasi
of the triumvirate Of demons shall be called
to his long account, 10 enjoy forever the
birthstone hospitality of the Prince of Rad.
icals, who will place them high in the halls
of perditiou for carrying out his principles
in this world, promoting strife on earth as
he had once done in heaven"
If the political literature of the day
has anything filthier than that, we
haven't seen it.

benefit of the Reading. Room, the Gazette
says: The members of the Stults Family
are all talented vocalists, and were listened
to with much pleasure and interest by the
audience. The Amateur String Band, of
Tiffin, kindly volunteered their services for
the occasion, aud added much to the enter
taihment OF the evening. DR.. Goodson's s
lecture on the circulation of the blood, was
calculated to impress all with true sense
of the wonderful and beautiful mechanism
of the human system. His remarks were
very clear and lucid, and being lnterspersed
as they were by apt illustrations, could not
fail TO be understood by all. Taking it all
in all, the entertainment was very interesting
and instructive, and every one present felt
amply repaid for going.

AN impression has somehow gone
abroad that the law requiring registra-
ton of births and deaths is repealed.
Such is not the fact But for all prac-
teal purposes it might as well be. Il
is dead letter, and in all probability
ii. provisions never will be fully and
generally enforced. It's commendable
10 try to preserve the vital statistics o.
the State in the public records; but the
duty of collecting them under this law
is left to too many hands. What il

Fostoria.-A Fostoria correspondent OF
the Toledo Commercial writes as follows:
Some ten or twelve years ago, man by the
name of Anderson, built small log foundry,
about seven miles west Of this place, and
built the machinery necessary 10 make an
engine. He then constructed an engine com-
plete, for steamboat; from the neighboring
woods he got the timbers and prepared them
for boat, took the timbers and engine to
Fremont aud completed his boat. He then
went down the river 10 Sandusky, thence 10
Toledo. While on the Lake during a storm
he was offered assistance, but declined it,
determ ned to manage it himself. From
Toledo he went down the canal to the Ohio
river, down the Mississippi, and up the Wis
consin into Wisconsin, with his family. That
was quite an undertaking, considering the
condition the roads were in to Fremont at
that time.

A woman, with bundle, marched into
Summit street store, in Toledo, on Thursday
evening, walked up to the proprietor, who
was seated, and. dropping the package on
his knee, said to him: "There. hati your n ;
I've kept it three weeks, as long as 1 want
it, and you must take care of it" or words
to that effect, and forthwith uncermoniously
departed. The package coutsined a hsslthy

Tiffin.-Sometime on Monday, this week,
two young men were fishing in the river with
drag net, when their net became entaDgled
50 that they were unable to draw it out
One of them reached down and discovered
that stick, one end Of which was fast in the
bank, held the net. BY unfastening the end
in the bank they drew it out with the net,
and were somewhat surprised TO find the
dead body of an infant attached to the other
end. 1t bore the appearance ofhaving been
bern alive, aud confusion on the side of the
head signiied that a murder had been COM
mitted. The total amount paid IN

Teachers was $33, S33 81. Buildings and re-
pairs cost $11 ,07I 40. Fuel and other ex-
penses cost 1886 SO. The total expendi.
lures for the year amounted to $l5l ,924 SO;
leaving balance of 800 lC0 80 unexpended.

The gainesville Telegraph says that a
gentleman of that place, wishing to grade
bis lot found that he would have to cut down
about four feet portion of it on which
stood four fine maple trees and chestnut,
and not wishing to lose the trees he gave q
man fifty dollars 10 "lct them down" which
he did by .excayating under them, leaving
them apparently as well planted as before,
and looking as if they had not been disturb
ed. A nice job certainly.

Clyds.-The Cleveland Herald cores
pOndent writes Of Clyde matters as follows:
We eare haying considerable excitement here
over school matters An election was held
on the question of placing our special school
district under the Union School law, and it
was carried by large majority. Then a
ticket for six school directors was made up,
with four Republicans and two Democrats
But another ticket was got up, and elected,
when the defeated party claimed the election
was illegal, because only eight days notice
was given instead OF ten. So another election
was held on Tuesday under the old school
law and director was elected. Now an
other notice is out for an election on adopt
ing the Union School system again, and if
this prevails there will be another election
for directors. The sum of the quarrel seems
to be between the spiritualists and the other
religious societies. .------. The body of Mr..
John Luther was brought here tonight from
LapOrte. Ind, where he was shot. There
are different stories about the affair, some
saying it was accidental shooting, and others
that it was deliberately done.

A careful examination of the fruit buds in
that region proves that but little damage has
yet been done by the frost. In one orchard
out of dozen samples each of peach and
plum buds, but two of the latter and three
of the former were blighted but similar
examination of buds of other fruits revealed
no deficiency. Similar information comes
from GAINESVILLE and from points further
north. Owing to the back wardness of the
season, it appears the buds were generally
not sufficiently developed to suffer great
injury from the late severe frosts.

The Painesville Telegraph, of this week,
dated on Thursday, says the prospect for
fruit IN that vicinity was never more hatter-
ing. 1t adds: Peaches and grapes are all
right up to this time. and as this is the year
for the full apple crop, the prospect for full
supply of all kinds of fruit is most encour-
aging.

From our own examinations, and from in.
formation from others, We can safely predici
the crop of peaches in this county an entire
failure. We can also say that other fruit,
are more or less injured, to what exten,
cannot be determined until vegetation n,,i.
on its garb appropriate for the spring of tbs
year.

Fruit Prospects.
From the sandrsky Register. !


Some fears are expressed in regard TO the
fruit, but any one taking the trouble TO ex-
anime the fruit buds now will find them
all right However disagreeable these lake
winds sre they keep the fruit buds back
and render the fruit crop comparatively safe
from the frosts in this part of the State. A
large portion of the peach buds in this
vicinity were killed in February last and
the probability is that we shall have small
crop this season. If the weather is favorable
when they blossom, in some orchards on
high lands there may be fine crop. Peach
es are not hurt by smart frost, even 10
blossom, but cold rain and windy storm
washes off the pollon and spoils the fruit.
Sweet cherries are looking very well and
bid fair for fine crop. Apples and pears
are all right. Strawberries, notwithstand-
ing the last dry simmer and fall are looking
remarkably well this spring. So are most
varieties of raspberries. Blackberries are
badly injured. Some tender varieties of
grapes are injured considerably the hardy
varieties are all right, and If the season fs
favorable good crop may be expected.
From Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette
From personal examination and informa-
tion from others, / can report that fruit
buds are safe so far as to insure q fair crop,
if nothing befalls them hereafter. The
weather is now warm and wet, so that the
face of the country is rapidly recovering
from the effects Of the severe weather of the
last two weeks.
