scriptons of many physicians, was advised to

ing glass of the water before meals ii acts as
tonic and general regulator of the system, and
enables me to eat any kind of food without in
convenience. The only e2dcnce | can give of
my appreciation of its virtues is a recommends
ton to every one suffering from Dyspepsia to
Try it.

CONFESSION OF A MURDERER.-WiIliam
Steward, the selfaccused murderer of Nor
witch Eng, has made a full and written con-
iesslon. Nearly eighteen years ago he muir
dered his wife, by cutting her throat with
razor, during an alteration respecting the
disposal of certain monies. She appears to
have been much older than he, and they had
no family but what gives terrible interest
to the case is the fact that, after having car
ried his load of guilt about with him SO long,
he was compelled TO disburthen his conscience
by making voluntary confession of the MUIR
der, even after the mysterious occurrence had
almost faded from local memory. But this is
not all that gives unusual horror to the tale.
TO avoid discovery, he, from day to day, cut
the b7dy TO pieces, in the house, and after
dark went out strewing portions of It about
the streets or lanes, and even putting into
pan, the head, hand, and the feet, in hopes
that they miaht boil 70 pieces. The long hair he
cut lnte -sshhfreds, and les them blow away as he
walked along. The CHASTITY relics were found
at the time, and great eXertions were made
by the police to have them identified, and,
likewise to trace the unknown murderer.
There was also much speculation as to the
age, station in life, SEX &c, of the deceased.
The only tolerable conclusion come to was,
that the remains were those of female 1t
was never suspected that Mrs. Steward was
dead, much less murdered. Her husband
gave out word to the neighbors and his wife's
acquaintance, that she had gone on length
ened visit to her relations. In short time
he himself left the city, and in year after
wards was married. His second wife is still
alive.
