On Friday night last Satan seems to
have been let loose in the county of
Rush, for besides number Of fights on
the cars and at the depot in Rushville,
most bloody effort was made by a
young man by the name of Long to
kill q number of persons. 1t seems that
Long, in other days, had paid his ad-
dresses to Miss Winship, the daughter
Of Mr.. Jesse Winship, who lives on a
farm near the village of Milroy. He
bad made proposals of marriage, but was
rejected trough the influence of the
mother. The daughter subsequently
married Mr.. Jackman, and the newly
married couple were living in the neigh
borhood. On last Friday night Long
came to the residence of Jackman, and.
giving false name, wanted admittance.
The family, fearing there was no good
will in his request, refused his entrance.
Finding he was determined to break in,
.Iackman and his wife ran over te Mr..
William Rice's, near by Rice and
.Jackman then returned to Jackmans
residence, and seeing no one, entered
the house and got down rifle, which
they began to load, when Long rushed
III on them with revolver, and firing,
shot Jackman through the arm. Turning
10 Rice, he said "You are Jackman's
friend are you? On you, will kill
you" He fired, and shot Rice through
the neck, and, seeing him fall, he then
escaped. He went over to jesse Win
SHIPS and rousing up the family, he
shot Mrs Winship and then left. Go-
ing home to his fathers, he told them
what he had done, and then turning
his revolver to his head, he blew out
his own brains. We were not able to
learn the exact nature of ali the wounds
but it was thought very doubtful wheth-
e. Mrs. Winship or Rice would survive.
The whole country is wild with excite
ment, and hundreds are running to see
he wounded and to learn the particulars
e the terrible affair.
The families are all of the first re-
.pectability, and the Winship family is
snong the wealthiest of the county.
II was well that the murderer was his
own executioner, tor he could not have
.ived in tho county twenty-four hours,

The Christian Union, Of which Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher Is editor.
It's weekly; its form being Is
pages, large quarto, and is convenient
for binding and preservation. Week
Iy, it brings a fund Of knowledge TO
the family, from some Of the best
writers in the land. In it we find re-
ligion, literature, art and science; it
advocates q ;closer union Of the
Churches Of God, and a more united
assault upon error; itspeaks in earnest
tones, and breathes a spirit Of liberal
christianity; it is, perhaps, the most
lire and earnest religious paper Of the
day, and also the cheapest. No fami-

zed to give to each subscriber a copy

and acknowledged by artists to be the
best engraving ever executed in

By paying three dollars you get $50

so very cheap. As entered the store

in which 1 saw many desirable styles.
Among them were elegant Silks, Pop
Inns, Merino, Black Alpacas and pure
Mohairs and great many others, all
of which are elegant goods and very
cheap. Next come their stock of
Shawls and furs-which were so very
cheap that 1 was astonished. On the
opposite side 1 was shown their stock
of Domestics-consisting of Black
Beavers, Cloakings, and Cassimeres,
Flannels, and Jeans-and the best

Their stock of Waterproofs, and prices
surprised me, as they were much low

They had an enormous stock of Prints

patterns 1 ever saw in the city. Their
stock of Yankee Notions, Boots, Shoes

than any saw in Cleveland during

This is a really excellent work, scientific
and yet eminently practical. in regard to a
most important class of subjects, which, un-
fortunately, has hitherto been left almost
entirely to the quack, the emplric, or the
sensationalist, to ''write up'' for the million
1t treats of the hygiene of woman, in her
various relations of maiden, wife and moth

table ofeontents includes such subjects as the
following:
The distinction of the sexes. Persons of
both sexes and of no sex. The age Ofnubility
Love. Love is eternal. OF Divorce. OF
Courtship' How to choose a husband. Shall

Birth-marks and how to prevent them. The
change of Lifee.
Difficult as it may appear, these subjects
are handled with such precision and firm
ness, and yet so delicately, that the work has
received the hearty endorsement of many of
the most distinguished physicians, clergy
