A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Two Cons Of n Widow Woman X iIied by
the Careless Usc of Firearms.

NEWTON, December 20, 1860.
EDITOR STATESMAN: 1t Is my pain
FIJI privilege to inform you of a terri
BILE tragedy which occurred here last
night at about ten o'clock, and which
has cast q shade of gloom over the ell
tire community.
Mrs. Annis Is q worthy widow, and
resides near the Rock Island Railroad.
In the north part of town. A young
man by the name of Casey, who is en-
gagged in gardening, having purchased
a small piece of ground for that pur-
poses, was boarding in the family, and
being of a playful disposition, took up
an old carbine, and presentingi it at the
head Of q little son Of Mrs. Annis, said:
"Ify you was a rebel | would shoot you
right through the head" and pulling
the trigger shot the little fellow
through the head, killing him in
stantly - the ball passing entirely
| through the boys head and into the
| bowels of an older brother near by,
causing his death at about s o'clock
this morning. The youngest boy was
about six years of age, and n bright
little lad Of his age. The older boy
was about sixteen years old, and the
main support of his widowed mother.
Mrs. Annis is a worthy member of
the U~niyersalist Church, and much
esteemed by all who know her. She
has one sister living in Newton. and 4
brother resides near Newcastle, in this
county.
1t is hoped that some law will be
framed calculated to put a stop to this
criminal fooling with deadly weapons.
The afflicted family receive the SYM
pathy of the entire community.
Yours in haste, Y.
-Des Moines Statesman.

EARTHQUAKES ALL ARoUND.-Ac-
cording to kilograms from various
parts Of the country to the north and
east of this, from Nevada rs well rs
California, if any persons formerly
reioiced that San Francisco was pecu-
liarly the object of the earthquakes
vengeance, they have little cause to
~<'elevate their horn," unless they do it
rs Mark Twain did when observing the
shower of failing stars" The higher
ne looked, and the higher he raised his
horn, the less was there in 1t. SO OF
their qualification at our expense. 1t
is anything but pleasant to feel or to
hear of earthquakes, in san Francisco
or out of it. And the more n feels
of them the more he fears them. The
fear of lightning in a thunder tempest
Is trifing compared to the fright, the
horror, the pitiable terror and conster-
nation that one of these visitors intlictS
upon man, woman and child, when
they get so well acquainted rs to know
their knocking at the door. One may
become so familiar with the storm ut
sea as almost to despise ii, ordinarily,
for he knows what to do to battle its
dangers. So of other fearful things.
But not so with the temblor. When
the earth beneath ones feet, that he
has always supposed solid and firm,
seems crumbling and tumbling into
chaos, and the temples man has built
appear ready to become rubbish about
him, if there be 4 spot in his nature
that is not as iron he will be most
likely to know it and to show it. We
have no enemies on earth that We
should not pity if subjected to this
fearful visitant. And, therefore. we
are sorry to hear that any portion OF
our country, especially those a us,
Inhabited by people toward whom as
neighbors we feel more kindly than
toward the strangers far away, have
been visited by the terror that admits
of 10 compromise. And how strange
It is that the wisest of the scientific
men of this enlightened age know no
more about this visitant than did job
or Solomon. The earthquake holds all
men in equality.-S. =. Call.

MORALITY OF A CLEAN SmT.-Mrs.
Fanny b. Ames, the wife of G. G..
AmeS, attended the Cleveland Conven-
ton, and in her speech said: Il have
a California frlend-a woman who has
seen social life there grow, from an
almost reptile condition, up into some
thing like the statue of life on the At
lantic coast. She has told me of men,
in the early times, living in mean red
wood shanties, wearing garments that
were never changed till they rotted
off. with no %retinements Of cleanliness
or order about them, and no enjoy
ments above the saloon and gambling
table. At last n time would come
when a man would announce My
wife is coming!' and a change would
gradually come over him. The shanty
would be white-washed, some green
thing planted ut the door, the space
around enclosed by q fence, n curtain
at the window, and finally, the day
she was to come. the man would put
on a clean shirt. And this friend says,
My dear, there is some morality In a
clean shirt Friends, l shall hope and
expect that when woman approaches
the ballot-box, the ballot-boX will put
on its moral clean shirt" [Grcat APP

WAS Mr. PEABODY LoTM?-AN
AFFIRMATIVE ANSWER. - The New
York Tine, says: Probably no one liv-
ing is able to speak with more accuracy
upon the relations Of Mr.. Peabody to-
ward the South during the war than
Mr.. Thurlow Weed, nor can any testi-
mony be received upon the subject OF
more authority than his. Mr.. Weed
has published a statement which ought
to set at rest the detractions which have
been INDUCED in against Mr.. Peabody
as a Southern sympathizer. We cannot
do more at present than say that the
reply to this charge against the dead
philaIthropist-an the more indecent
because he is dead, and cannot speak
for himself-is conclusive. Mr.. Pea
body was, from first to last, loyal to
the Union. He never wavered, even
in the darkest days of the struggle.
He did his best to prevent recognition
of the Confederacy. He pronounced
the Confederate loans worthless. Nor
did he, in any way, encourage rebel
emissaries or advocates, and he mani
tested his devotion toward the North
by Jealous efforts in its favor. That
he deplored the war was true, but what
good man did not? Do we not lay
immortelies upon Il soldiers graves
with tears as well as with pride?

ING that C. p. Pollard, a prominent
citizen. druggist and exICommon
Councilman, had taken his own life

DAYS past the wife of Pollard has been
suffering from erysipelas, her physician

what had occurred, went to the nearest
neighbors and gave the alarm. Coroner
| Hamilton was notified, and on entering
the roo found Pollard lying on the
he'd, with the deadly weapon grasped
In his right hand. The pistol had been
discharged while held near the right
