A Petrifiel Body.

While removing the bodies from the
old to the new cemetery, south Of Sag
inaw City, the men engaged in the task
Of dlsinterring came across petrlfied
body. 1t was that of female, and the
inscription on the headstone was Mary,
wife of j. Maiden, died April 21 1860,
aged eighty years, one month and one
day The workmen, in digging the
grave, struck the coffin, which was par
TALLY decayed. The surrounding soil
was dark, gravelly and friabe. The box
was lifted to the surface when its ;,reat
weight was noticed. One of the work
men claimed that it emitted n st ,nch,
which failed to effect the other. A
shovel was inserted in the box, when
it struck something hard-a hard sub
substance.
On opening the coffin human 70 orm
was discovered the face which was fl st
examined, was covered with very dark
brown mould. When this was remove
it left surface smooth and winter than
flesh.
The body was struck with ham
mer, producing hollow metallic sound.
TO lift it required the strength of sew
eral men. Mary Maiden, of whom this
petrifed body is the remains, was well
known in Saginaw City, ten Or twelve
years ago

Remarkable discovery OF Murder.

AT the December term of court in
Nodaway Co., Mo-, Solomon McAlpine
was tried for the murder of John CALI
colt, the deed being committed over two
years ago, and having only recently been
discovered, in quite singular manner ::
In August, 1866, these two young
mon left Hollyvile, Iowa, to come to
st Joseph to buy apples, expecting to
load their wagon here and return to Iowa
to sell their fruit. Not long after-some
few days, we belicve-McAlpine return
ed to Hollyville, told some plausible story
about his partner having made other ar
ranSements and gone on to st Joseph,
and for some time no further notice
was taken Of the matter. The continued
absence of Callicot, and the fact that
nothing was heard from him finally
induced the arrest of McA lpine; but on
his examination nothing was elected
eliminating him, and he was discharged.
A long search for Callicot proved una
vailing and for eighteen months apro-
found mystery cnveloped the case.
In March, 1868, n party of railroad engi
neers, surveying the route Of the Missouri.
Valley Railroad, some six miles north
east Of Maryville, found the skeleton of
man. An investigation aroused the sus-
picion that it was the remains Of Callicott'
The authorities in Iowa were written
to, and witnesses were brought down.
The mother Of Callicott recognized a bony
protuberance on the chin Of the skeleton;
also the absence of tooth drawn on
the day he started on his fatal trip, and
his mother preserved the tooth. 1t fitted
the jaw of the skeleton, and dentist
testified it had been drawn from the
orifce. Pieces Of blue coat and several
peculiar buttons were found near the
skeleton. These were recognized as resem-
bling parts of Callicotts dress when he
left home. There were three bullet
holes in the skull.
The Identification was so complete that
McAlpine was rearrested; and after sever
al continuances the case came to trial last
Monday, and resulted in the conviction
of the prisoner. The Judge instructed
the jury that any facts or want of proof
mitigating the crime from murder in the
first degree need not restrain their rem
dering a verdict of murder in the second
degree, or man slaughter. The jury,
after due deliberation brough in vcr-
dict Of murder in the secono degree.

A Snake Story.

The Ironton (Ohio) Register vouches
for the truth Of the following incident :
Levi Henry recently shot and killed a
black snake five feet long on the hills
back of town. Observing an enlarged
appearance about the centre of the body,
he concluded that the snake had swal-
lowed something, which was yet undigest-
ed, so he cut the reptile open to ascertain
the nature of the object. This fact re-
vealed no less than one of those false,
china eggs, just the size of an ordinary
hens egg. The philosophy of the thing
is that the snake had been robbing hens
nests and finding this ia one, did not dis
cover the true nature of the inviting viaad
until it was everlastingly too late. The
reptile had probably swallowed the china
egg some time ago, as the tensioned part
OF the body was hard and white. The
egg resting so heavily upon the creatures
stomach, was probably what prevented
it from entering on the winters doze.

TO Our Readers.

Our effort to furnish a family newspa-
per which should be independent upon
political subjects, has met with such good
success, that we feel warranted in increas-
ing the size of our paper without making
any change in the price. We have ad-
ded to our list of subscribers very many
new names and hope to add still more ;
therefore it may not be out of place to
here state what course we intend to pur-
sue throughout this volume.
BY an independent paper, we do not
mean a neutral one for while we shall
not advocate the interests of any party,
we shall claim and exercise the right to
support every measure which we think
calculated to promote the public good,
or to criticize the acts of men in official
positions regardless of party favor In
each number we will give full report of
local and miscellaneous news, and the
market price current. The remainder of
our space we shall endeavor to fill with
stories, anecdotes, agricultural intelli-
gence, and such variety of interesting
reading matter, that its visits will be
anxiously looked for by every reader
All who feel disposed to aid in support
ing paper Of this kind, are requested
to send us dollar and have their names

A Man Shot Dead by a Woman.

At lronton, on the evening of the 21st
ult, young man, named Pres Baker,
charged with wronging Elizabeth McQuig,
was shot and killed by her. Immediately
after the shooting she gave herself Up to
Esquire Mathews. Her brother, John
McQuig, was also arrested, charged with
the same crime. Both were committed
to Jail. The girls story is, that she wait
ed for him to make her the only repara-
tion in his power, which he has refused
doing. Hearing it rumored that he was
going to be married, she determined to
compel him to do her justice. Her
brother and herself met him; she asked
him what he intended doing; he replied
Nothing" She then told him he must
80 with her and marry her at once. On
his refusal to do so, she fired two shots,
one taking effect in his breast He lived
long enough to say to his father that it
was the brother John who shot him. The
girl persists that it was she, and that she
alone ought to suffer. Public feeling is di-
vided as to the justice of the killing, and
nothing can be said until all the facts are
brought out i'll the trial. Cincinnati

SINCE the issue OF our last paper an
other prominent man has been removed
by the hand of death. On the 2Sth ult..
Edwin NJ. Stanton died quite suddenly at
his residence in Washington. The news
of kis death following so close upon the
news Of his appointment and confirmation
as ore of the judges of the supreme court
took the country by surprise.
The death of no public man, since the
mHrder of President Lincoln, has called
forth SO general an expression of regret
for the loss and sympathy for the family
of the deceased.

DURING the two past weeks Gold has
been quite steady at about 12O, varying
only trife, There have been several
strong attempts to raise the premium but
Without success. The fact is that the
large amount of gold in tie Sub-Treasu-

Reduction of the Debt.

The following figures are from the
Tribune, showing the headlong speed
with which the country is forced to liq-
uidate its immense debt -

This at first sight seems all very well,
but is there not such thing as paying
too fast for the good Of the country? 1t
seems to us that too much haste to pay
the public debt may be of great damage
to the business interests of the country,
and in the end, actually retard rather
than hasten that desirable object

A Three-Acre Farm.

Ten years ago, an Irishman-who, fol-
short, we will call st. Nick-bought three
acres of land, for which he paid, with q
one story new house thereon, four hun.
dred and fifty dollars-counting the tene
ment three hundred and seventy-fve, and
the land the balance. ia
Hiring pasture, he purchased COW
and with serene faith began to work in his
new bought soil. 1t was worn out: q
poor pasture: it would not summer a
two-years old steer, and the rent would
have been considered exOrbitant if over
four dollars year.
He has since added two acres of rocky
bush pasture, but with better soil than his
purchase, and in addition to the crops
raised on both, ne annually hires SIS
worth of passuring, and buys $25 worth
of hay. - f.sa-zs
Last year, with his first purchase and
one acre of his last under cultivation, he
raised (actual measured of potatoes, one
hundred and ten bushels; of corn, eighty.
five bushels of ears; Of beans, three
bushels and three pecks; of cabbages
seven hundred heads; besides twenty
one bushels of oats, and a little over one

Build ND the SYSTEM,

Strength evaporates fast at this season. This is
especially the with all who live by the sweat
OF their brow. From every pore of the sieve-like
skin moisture exudes which contains the ele-
ments of vitality. Thereby the blood is impover-
ished, the nerves relaxed, the muscles weakened,
the digestion impaired the bowels disturbed, and
the animal spirits depressed. The constant drain
that produces these effects cannot be arrested be-
cause it is due to the heat of the atmosphere; but
the loss of the DEMONSTRATING elements can be sup
piled by extra Inauguration. Now, therefore, Ia
the time to resort to Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
