4 shocking muider was committed in
the town Of Nsperville. on Tuesday night
last. It might te called murder in high
life. The parties are, or were, moving in
respectable circles, and the murdered
nsn had held The Office Of tDepufy TnI.cd
States Marshal for the Territory OF Nyo-
rG1rg. This individual was caught, at
late hour Of the night, entering the bed
room cl q married woman in Naperville
-nuSh ht By her husband, who shot The
otIe1der, killing him instantly. It ap-
pears that the husband had suspected
au improper intimacy between the pair,
and had rurpose1y given them an op.
ner!unly Of coming together, by Starting
on a Journey and returning Unexpectedly.
II i stated that public opinion at Ma
JeIvilie justities the homicide, and that
8 good dial Of sympathy is felt for the
person who committed II. We trust that
this is mlsststement and slandcr upon
the civilization and Christianity Of Na-
r,rvillr. Very likely the murdered man
was bad man, and the surviving woman
bad woman. Any other supposltion
makes the case altogether frigh,iul But
who gave Mr.. Bailey the right
10 take Mr. Laird's litc: Public
opinion has improved, OF late Ycsrs, In
this behalf. Instead Of giving mcn and
women free license to shoot whenever
THY have received real or fanced In
jury Of this kind, it prcscribes as u suita-
bic punishment for tho oifondrrs that
they be driven out Of the sight uu1 hear
Ing ofdeccnt people. Say what VIC will
OF The different style Of treatment &C
corded to the male offender agains,
the seventh commandment, from that
neoo1tcd 10 the female, 1t Is 0
iaci that the mau who comui's adultery
1oscs his foo,hold In tho respect and con
iis'cnco ot the community as surely as
tho woman, though notas Ycs In thu 80 mo
degree. The time Is coming wh.n THY
vii! bc treated alike.
In tue present cstc. who can tell VII eth.
CT Mr.. Laild was Tho rrlncipa cffcndcr ?
His ssory is cut short. Whether hc was
tie tclnp'er or the tcmp,cl can never bc
known from o7is lips. 1t IL stated
TINT Mrs. Batlty had once before

If This le true Mir. Bailey certainly hal

lie had no right 10 shoot at all. "1Hou

sentiment which toeratcs private killing
is essentially ba1bsrous ard murde,ous

PETRoLEUM-Both as to prce and
production, still holds its own admirably.
The price now is from five dollars to
FIVE and fifty cents per barrel for crude
oil at the wells, which is decline from
average prices held during the winter
months, but no indication OF a down
ward tendency in the immediate future
for, although the market may just now
be inactive, the demand which must de-
termin the matter of price is steadily
increasing. The total production of oil
during the month of April was about
eleven thousand barrels daily, showing
an increase over that for the month pre-
ceding of twelve hundred, while the dai-
ly consumption is set down at not less
than twelve thousand barrels. The ap-
parent increase, however, of the produc-
tion for any one month cannot be taken
as basis for another months yield and
if it were net for the enlargement of op-
erations encouraged by the present and
prospective value of oil, there might be
an equal falling off in the production
for this month.

The CRUST OF THE EARTH. If we
bury thermometer fifty feet below the
surface of the earth, the mercury will
remain at the same point the year round,
III winter and in summer, showing that
the influence of the sun does not reach
below that depth. If we carry the ther-
mometer fifty feet lower, the mercury
will rise one degree, and will rise in the
same ratio for every fifty feet We go
down. 1t can be easily calculated at
what depth all known substances will
melt This would not exceed fifty miles.
1t will thus be seen that the crust-or
solid part--of the earth is exceedingly
thin in proportion TO the diameter; not
so thick as an egg-shell. proportion to
the size of the egg. With a crust so
thin, constantly cooling, and producing
a pressure upon the internal masses, it is
not strange that the bed of oceans
should be elevated and from dry land.
and continents should sink and from the
beds of the oceans. Large mountains
have been elevated in single day, and
whole cities have been sunk in the same
space of time. The side of volcanic
mountain once broke away, and the livid
masses flowed ont, forming a river
twelve miles wide, which in its course
melted down six hills six hundred feet
high, filling up valleys six hundred feet
deep, spreading over a surface of eleven
hundred square miles.-Dr. Boynton.
