A Father SeduceS his Daughter
Ae Blows Oat bis Brains with a
Shot Gun.

I
The New Albany (Ind.) Commercial
relates the following revolving case Of
crime and suicide:
IL wonld seem that the dcvil has
literally been turned loose, and that
he has instituted carnival of crime
10 these latter days Of " high civiliza-
tion" which has no parallel in afro
cious acts in the history Of the world.
A man named Adam Butcher has
for two years past been living iuces,
tuously with bis daughter near
bloomington, Monroe county. Three
weeks ago tbs daughter bore child,
the result OF her unnatural life with
her father, The girl refused to tell
who was the father of her child,
though frequently lmportuned to do
so, She, however, upbraided her
father with her ruin in the bitterest
terms.
On Thursday morning, Butcher
took his shotgun, carefully loaded IL,
and leaving bis house, went TO the
stable. Here be placed the shotgun
70 his temple, pulled the trigger, and
literally blew his brains out. After
his death the daughter acknowledged
that her father was also the father of
her child. The woman is only nine
teen years OF age.
We are told that butcher has wife
and several other children beside the
daughter. The world is well rid ofI
such monster, and the miserable
daughter should follow her fathers
example as speedily as possible.

Discovery or Gold In Hawkins
Comfy

We met on the streets, yesterday
our old friend, GU Mckinney, OF
Hawkins county He informs us that
gold has recently been discovered IN
that county, abont eleven miles east
Of Rogersville, on the south side Of
the Ho!ston River. The specimens ex-
hibited are said 10 be ofthe riches
quality, surpassing the celebrated
mines of California. A company
of energetic gentlemen, possessed Of
sufficient capital, have the matter
in charge, and will fully develop the
capacity of the mines.
Hawkins county,it seems, is to be-
one OF tho richest in the State. Mar
bic quarries are already worked with
success--a car load Of this marble be-
ing worth more than car load Of
wheat SaIt has been discovered, ard
will in short time be successfully
manufactured. Coal, It is said, has
been also found in that county. Iron
ore abounds there, and now that
gold has been discovered, Haw kins
county seems to be on the highway
to permanent wealth. in addition
to all the mineral wealth of the county
there is u soil which, for fertility
is second to none In the State. We
wish the highly refined, honorable,
intelligent and quiet population of
Hawkins God speed in their success

Ten O'Clock do you mean stay
Broad awake iill tho peep Of dayf
Baby now, there Is no one near,
Whisper cret in my ear;
How did you learn the wondrous speech
All our wisdom could never teRehl
What Ia the meaning Of all your words,
Soft as the twilter OF rustling birds
Nobody knows what schemes may walt
Hidden away In your noG'ling pats;
Dear little dreamer, tell me true,
What are you planning u be and dol
Baby, baby your fingers white.
Reach for the big, round moon at night;
strive In their eager grasp to hold,
Wandering rags Of the annshine'S gold;
When shah We ever make you know
How. IN tho sun, the blossoms blow
How the winds run on fairy feet
over the helds Of bending wheat;
How, in the world, so strange and new,
All things beautiful wait for you,
Leading You on, by your clasping hand
Out Of your rosy bSby.land
Baby. baby the world is wide.
