IT was very happy thought in some one
at the Elgin Watch Factory to name their
ladies' watch the Lady Elgin We ven
ture to say that the man who suggested the
name is one who would be q fsvorite With
the ladies. In other words, a man of sense,
Of taste, and gentleman. For what lady
would not prefer to carry an exquisite time
keeper like the Lady Elgin," and with that
name, to one with trade mark Of samuel

ike the name Lady Elgin," and, under
standing that the watch itself is the hand.

yet made in this country. We predict for
the Elgin Company al immense demand
for them.

REMAINS FoUNp.-The remains Of Claus
Dehn the unfortunate German Who lost his
life in the late Pennsylvania House fire, were
found yesterday morning. Since the eonaag
ration q crowd of workmen have been
engaged searching for them. They dug up
about ten feet from the doorway Of the
building showing that he probably came to
the front of the house to get out, but was
snfocated before he could make any pro-
gress. The remains which were but q
handfa, of bones and charred remnants Of
of flesh were taken to the warehouse Of
Henry Hass opposite the Court House,
where an inquest was held, and verdict
rended according to the facts we have
already published.

STARoH.-Among the many large and
important man ufactories of Cincinnati, and
one that perhAp. the trade Of the west is as
much interested in as any, is the Starch
Manufactory of George Fox, which was
established as far back as in 1924. If this
don't make Mr.. Fox one OF the Oldest
starch makers than let the man stand forth.
During all these years he has seen many an
enterprise rise and fall, bu, has himsel!
steadily built up one OF the best paying busi'
nesses in that city, by JUS, making prime
article. He who can keep a small army of 50
men constantly at work, and consumes 81
his factory over 1000 bushels per week Of
the raw material, works not only for himself
but for his neighbors, and must necessarily
make an honest article. Such is Fox's
starch and we heartily recommend it and
the proprietor to the trade Of the Upper
Mississippi Valley.

BOURBON COUNTY, Ky.-This county is
celebrated the world over fo- its whisky,
and justly so, as only here was manufactured
the genuine, simon pure article, an article
that it WAS safe to give as q medical reme-
dy in the family, or that could be drunk
without the thought that it contained poison
Gus adutrations. This county always had,
has to day and probably always will have
the credit of making the only genuine Bour-
bon or "Old Bourbon" as it is called. 1t
needs no recommendation, but we can say
to those who desire the genuine article that
they should call for none other, and when
they call for it, to be snre and see that it
has the brand Of ]. Seawrigh., Bourbon
County, KY, and no. be pa. off with any
bogus article or inferior imitation. This
celebrated brand is kept at wholesale aud
retail by the leading druggists in this city

a fact that there are in all probability, a

demanded by such females as Susan B. 40
thony, Mrs. Livermore and the Revolution,
We have received the following letter from
a com mittee of the ladies of Peoris, and
would state that the petitions for

ladies of Rock Island can have by calling
for them.
PEORIA, Ill, April 3, 1870.
Mr.. EDIToR:-A thousand women of PEG
ria have signed q protest against Woman
Suffrage, which is to go before the State

favor them by putting it into the hands of
some one for circulation, and that after
signatures are obtained, it may be forwarded
to the member of the Constitutional
Convention from your district, by the 25th

A FIEaplsH MURDER.
i Man and his Wife Killed BY
Robbers:


The Chicago papers have discatches from
Cam bridge, H., of one of the most brutal
murders ever perpetrated heresbouts, which
occurred on the night of the 9Th inst, near
Orion, Henry county. A farmer BY the
name of A. B. Mumford, had just sold his
farm, and had received from it some 81, 500
in money. This fact was known TO his
neig h bors, and it was furthermore known
that the money WAS kept in his house. Two
men had been hanging sround the beg
borhood for several days, preteno'"s "
20, tta drovers. One Of them was neA'5 se''
with ligh hair, blue eyes, anu nien '".
h,n.. and large mouth, and was dressed IN
81 .o.t and felt hat. The other was
dark, thin and nervous, and wore soldier's
overco.t. These men broke into Mumford's
house, while the family we're supposed to be
quietly asleep, and were feeling quietly for
valuables under his pillow, when a little
sick sen OF Mumford's, who lay on cot
bedstead, cried out and alarmed his parents.
They arose in the bed, and were at once
knocked senseless with clubs by the muir
derers. The little boy was also struck with
q club and left for dead The robbers ran
sacked the house, and after securing abou.
900 10 money, and some notes, fled.
When the deed was discovered on the
morning of the 9th, Mr.. and Mrs. Mumford
we're found to be dead and the hoy badly in
iured The ruffians had almost severed Mr..
Nunsord's head from his body. The whole
neig hborhood was aroused and pursuit in
sti,uted, but up to this afternoon without
success There is bns little doubt tha,
these bloodthirsty scoundrels would orna-
ment the handiest elevated object strong
enough to bear their weight, if caught.
Intense excitement prevails throughout
the neighborhood, and the local riSilantes
are securing the country. We learn that a
reward is about TO be or is already offered
BY the Sheriff of Henry county for their ap-
prehension.
One of them was tracked over two milss
BY blood from his person, from wounds re.
ceived in conflict with the deceased.
! P. S.-A Dull WIrLEss EoAx.-We
were rather astonished 20 find tina: crime
of this magnitude alleged to be perpetrated
within twenty miles OF Us, several days ago,
should appear in the Chicago papers before
We had any intimstion of 1t here. We ae'
cordingly took some pains to telegraph to
Geneseo and Cambridge and received word
from both Offices that they had heard not q
word of any such affair, knew OF no man By
the name of Mumford. II appears that the
specials tina. we're sent oil 'er the country
of which the foregoing is an abstract orig
mated in the very humorous, not to say IN
tensely witty Imagination of some person
in Cambridge or Geneseo. Such a jolly
cheerful talent of lying should not remain
undeveloped. He shoald be employed as
!. romance writer foT the Police Ne,cs on Polio
7 Gazette, where his poetic love of blood,
: bru,alities would be duly appreciated.
