Monday evening, Patrick John Doyle, own
er of a pawn-shop and secondhand store, SO
South Wells street, shot John Schneider, a
young man in his employ as tailor and clerk,
four times, twice in the neck, once in the left
side, and once in the left leg. Doyle was GRAZ
ed with liquor. Schneider was peaceable
man, never had any quarrel with Doyle, had
him in his employ seven years, and said to
Doyle after the shooting: !" Before 1 die,
Mr.. Doyle, want you to say if ever did any
wrong to you. Hanging is too good for you.

he sank back exhausted. One ball passed
through his wind. pipe, and lodged in the

grain grow instead of one, or Introduces "a
new or improved variety Of grain or fcait, de-
serves well of his country. The Introduction
of the Norway Oats, by D. W. Ramsdell, of
Vermont, has benefited the farmers, not only
by giving them the best and most productive
kind of. oats ever known, but it has stimulat-
cd them to procure better varieties OF COM
mon OATS for seed, and thus added greatly to
the aggregate crop. But not satisfied with past
achievements Mr.. Ramsdell is about to lay
the farmers of the country, and especially of
the Northwest, under new obligations, by in
Producing a new variety of Wheat, to be known
as the 81 81 s5
RAnfsDELL GREEN MOUNTAIN WHEAT,
which eclipses everything heretofore produc-
ed. The berry is large and handsome, too
JiitthS of an inch lonq, and so plump that a
bushel makes 80 lbs. -four. 1t yields 60 BUSH
els an acre, from one bushel of seed. No one
who has seen it, as I have, can doubt its mar
velous productiveness.
One pint ony will be sent in a cloth pack
age, postpaid, to each person sending one
dollar. -.

casional shower. Everybody seems to be in

I think shall attempt it to morrow. iB.
