A MURDER IN VIRGINIA. Mother AID Son ne
Pictims.-The Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicle,
Of Saturday, says:
We are called upon to chronicle one of the
most cOld-blO0ded and fiendish murders ever
perpetrated i'm Albemarle county, the victims of
which are mother and her son. We give below
such particulars as we can gather from parties
that on Monday night, Mr.. Henry Salmon. who
lives near Stony Point, i'm this county. went to
Mr.. Eerring's (his neighber) to a corn shuck Ing
and returning very early the next morning. was
surprised at seeing the door Of the house stand
ing open. He went short distance to a neigh
bor's and with him he proceeded TO the house.
and there found sight that would make the
hair of the hardest-hearted stand on end. There
in the front room, lay his mother, good old
lady OF about sixty years, dead, i'm a pool of
blood, and in the adjoining room, living on the
bed. was his only brother, breathing his last.
The neighbors were hastily called together
and a consultation held, and the conclusion ar
rived at was that some one, actuated by desire
for booty, entered the house soon after the de-
parture Of Henry Salmon, and killed Luther Sal
mon by striking him on the head apparently
with a hatchet, and then going into the other
room met Mrs. Salmon coming in from the wood
pile, whittier she had been for kindling, and
killed her vi it'll the same instrument. The iends
then ransacked the house, breaking open all the
About twenty-five dollars in money taken from
Mr.. Salmon's pocket and a small quantity of

integrity. They have been manufacturing a

that the murderer was tempted by the Supposed
proceeds of this brandy TO commit the rash act

Results Of Cooperation in Germany

A German financier, Mr.. SchultZe- DelitZcli
has Iubisheda m a report on German cooperation.
which IL another striking proof of the spread of
the system and of the immediate importance OF
the problems IL involves. Societies for procuring
ordinary articles Of consumption have especially
prcspcred in Germany, notwithstanding numer-
Gus efforts made to hinder their development.
According TO Mr.. Schultzc-Delitzch, these soci-
e;i"s in 1866 numbered l9a; i'm 1861 they number
ed 316; and i'm 1s6S they increased to .l55. The
budgets OF 15 OF these societies show that they
consisted OF 81 60 members. and transacted
business to the extent of 2,l2i.Iil thaers.
In the Prussian provinces of Brandenburg, Si-
iesia and SaNony in wurtcmberg. and i'm several
parts of Austria. the iii ferent PROVINCIAL aSsoca-
tions have begun 10 negotiate with each other
Association; and with this view meeting of the
scci. ties i'm the North Of Germany will be held
shortly at Magdcburg.
A New feature in the co-operatiye movement
!, also gaining ground in Germany. Thrty-six
associations in the Prussian Rhine Provinces
have bet formed for the purchase Of seeds. en-
glnes. alid various agricultural implements.
Associations for the purchase of artisans tools
have az yet made no progress.
mere are now IN Germany 1.55S working
mems banks and loan associations. of which 6.5
are in Prussia, AIS i'm German Austria. and 2sS
in Bob, ,mia. Six hundred and siNty-sx OF these
banks possess together 1855 members, aud
work upon capital of II, 40. thalers which
* tLeir own, as well upon a borrowed fund OF
:S,.t?.o .o3. thalers. In Is61 the average OF the
business done increased by l. per cent, and in
lStS by IL per cent. This activity would un-
doubtedly have been still more considerable but
Tor the war rum0rs which paralysed trade. The
Society Of Messrs. Sergel Parrisius & Co..
founded at Berlin to serve as an intermediary
raised its capital shares from 10000 to 5o0.0e0
thalers, and meditates further increase for the
erection of a branch Office at Frankfort -on-the-
Main, which would transact business for South
Germany.
The greater number of these associations. rec
ognised as commercially sound, have TO submit
70 the stipulati0ns of the new law, which Ell
forces the greatest precision i'm their accounts.
This law has already proved itself Of consider
able advantage to the stability of the various
enterprises. Altogether the cooperative soci-
eties which exist in Germany are estimated at
about 800. They consist of about 600 900 mem
beTss Their business transactions amounted i'm
1868 to 20, 900 900 thalers and this they managed
on capital Of 1900, 600 thalers belonging TO
themselves, and AZ 600 900 thalers of borrowed
