THE ARMSTRONG Suicide.

Late developments dispel much of the mys-
terry which yesterday seemed hang over the suicide of
young Armstrong at Greenve ON Monday evening. The
link wanting TO mark the as suicide was the
apparent absence Of motive. That link has been fur
nished by the publication OF notice OF the marriage
the Slst of May last OF the unfortunate man to Miss
Woods Of Brooklyn, simultaneously with a notice
OF his death That this marriage had some near
tOn with his death. to be admitted on every side
but the statements concerning the nature OF ta connec
tOn seem to be quite as those concerning
the details Of the shooting. One OF these represents
that the marriage was the work OF a momehtary
impulse, and that it was as quickly repented as
done; another that it was contracted WItnods .hni
the knowledge Of his parents, and that thelt
subsequent dispeasure operated upon his sehsuve
nature to supernduce melancholy. IL WOuld seem
from other accounts that engagement when ne nhu
previously contracted with another young lady had Dee1
broken by the parents OF that lady that he then naeu
his present widow; and that be was subsequently IN
formed by his first afi9pced that had he been less
hasty her parents w6 6ud have withdrawn their
objections TO the cOnsunmatiOn OF their engagement
that this information led 10 regret Of his marriage Win
Miss Woods which soon passing through the stages first
OF melancholy then OF despair eliminated in the act OF
sefmurder The remains will be inferred to-day from
the residence OF his parents at Greenville

TAKEN WINGS.
Care of Horses,

All hardships will tell upona horse,
as upon any animal, man lncludeu'-
n NAV not tell at once, but it will in
fine fnture. 4 horses life may be
Shortened or prolonged, as we have
carefully noted in many instances.
Richard Kinter, an old pioneer of
Stark, used to keep his horses till they
were thirty years of age and upwards;
and they would at thirty do a good
days work. They were fat and in
good, healthy condition. A span of
horses on the old homestead were
worn out at the age of eighteen, and
died in a year or two after. They
were rathera celebrated team of brown,
spitfire geldings, the best in the neigh
borhOod. But they were the only or
nearly the only team on the farm, and
they did an immense amount Of work.
Highly worked, highly fed, ruined
them. One of the horses became
blind, first at one eye, then the other
also and so continued to work. The
other got a thick leg grease, and both
were stiff and bent.
Other teams did nearly the same
work with better usage, that is, less
straining, less hard and long service
at a time, consequently 8 cnance 10
recruit in the interims of labor. Here
was no excess of work or continued
labor. There was a cheerfulness and
a willingness, and a good lively ap-
pearance, with also a better condition,
making the horse enjoy his work. To
make a slave Of a brute is like making
a slave of a man /; it is to be avoided
A horse willing to do work, and ca
pable from good treatment, will not
only do nearly or quite the same work,
but do it much longer; and IL is better
to have the last five years of a well
broke' horse, than the first five years
of a newly tutored one; there is more
work and more reliability.
We can strain a machine and abuse
it, or we can oil il and take care of it.
In the one case We get double the
benefit, more or less; in the other We
have our broken-down horse. We
need not apply the moral here-it is
too evident. The merciful man takes
care of his beast; and he has the con-
seriousness of doing this as well as the
benef1t.-Uticd Herald.
