A MANIAC MURDERER.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

a CRAZY, LOVE-SICK son KILL.
ING HIS MOTHER.
MERIDEN, Conn, Nov. 2l.ls7l.

MERIDEN, Conn, Nov. 2i,ls7i.
Ihls afternoon, at about halfpss, three
| ociock, rumor prevailed in Meriden that
young man named Vets had murdered
Ms mother and then committed suicide.
As Vets was know as a quiet, inoffensive
young fellow, who 1t was supposed, would
not harm any one, the runor was generally
discredted. At six o'clock this evening
your correspondent received positive evi-
denc of the facts, and went directly TO the
house which is situated abouta mile and
half from West Meriden, and lust above
Fraryvide. Strange to say, it is nearly
the next house TO that of the man Whit.
taker, who was brutally assaulted and
nearly murdered about three weeks ago.
From the evidence hastily accumulated
from the family and neighbors it was
found that young Vets had really.
MURDERED HIS AGED MOTHER AKD COM
MITTED sELF-MURDER.
Some two years ago it appears he had
been attacked by "mumps,h which sub
sequently struck downwards. 1t was
deemed necessary that he should submit to
painful operation and he refused. He
grew sufficiently better to attend to his
business OF pcddling milk, and TO within a
week ago things went on smoothly, when
young Vets, who Is n German, was con-
fined to his bed, and IL WINS then found
necessary to have watchers stationed by
his bedside. On Thursday night last he
was delirious and became very furiou. in
his menaces. He was engaged to be mar
rled to a young lady named Maschmever,
at Thanksgiving, to whom he was greatly
attached, and she, it is stated, was devoted
to hun. As far as can be learned his mo-
ther, whether from her sons well known
debility or otherwise
WAS oPPoTED TO THE MARRIAGE,
and this, apparently, provided the sequel.
This afternoon young Vets sister, Bette,
hearing noise, went into his bedroom, and
was horror stricken to behold him living,
bleeding on the floor; and his mother who
was partially concealed by heap of bed
clothes, was screaming out, Father! fa-
the! !! Her father, who was Just uncoup-
Icing his team ut the time, rushed INTO the
house, but only in time to find his wife
dying and his son quite dead. DR.. Gay
lord was sent for and promptly attended.
He found the woman still breathing but
unable to articulate, and she died within
few minutes after his arrival.
AN UGLY CASH UPON HER THROAT
and one upon her sons told the whole
story. Marks of blood upon the walls and
upon the kitchen door leading to the bed
room spoke Of fearful struggle between
the mother and her maniac son.
The bodies now lie side by side, just as
they were found by DIR. Gaylord and by
Deputy Sheriff George Rogers. Chief Of
Police Beach aud his officers were soon on
the spot. DR.. Newport, who had been at
tending Vets, was also present. An in
quest Is now being held. Simeon Vets,
the father Of the murderer and husband of
the murdered woman, is in great agony Of
mind, and gives vent to gaief which ii is
fearful to witness. The instrument by
which the murder was committed is IL COM

wasted years, and wondered il ANYTHING

Hark There was u ringing'mu on
the road far away over the hills, and il
came nearer, nearer, nearer, aud paused,
at last, before her gate.
She did not lift her head or move a fn-

She held out her hand, and no claspcd

fast to it.
She turned toward him a face 50 trans
figured with joy that hardly knew it and
then she crept up to his shoulder, like q
weary, frightened bird, and her thanks.

UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER,
AND
ATTORNEY AND COUNSELLOR IN
BANKR PTCY.


Congress having just amended, tho, Bankrupt
law so that nearly all parties can be discharged
from their debts unobstructed by the fifty per
cent clause so-called, another opportunity offers
to secure the benefits of this most effective and
permanent measure of relief. The abore-named
will make bankrupt business a specially; will
procure discharges on the most moderate terms,
and transact all business in that line at prices
which cannot fail to be satisfactory. Being nj
ted States Commissioner be will endeavor to visit
the different counties on court days and thus
save parties the trouble and expense of several
trips to Alexandria in beginning and proceeding
with their cases. Discharges can. be obtalned
here before Register Hill as promptly as in Rich
mond or elsewhere, and at much less expense to
parties 1t may be added that the Bankrupt act
in connection with the Homestead exemption,
which it is now believed will DC secured to the
bankrupt under the bankrupt law, is the only real
relief now offered to parties struggling in the
hopeless bondage Of old debts. Address person

\ Boys COMPOSITION The following
literary gem we believe was not written by
a scholar at any school in this city: A goat
is stronger than a pig and gives milk, lie
looks at you. So does the doctor, but a
goat has four legs. Mygoat butted Deacon
Tillinghast in a bad place, and little calf
wouldn't do so. \ boy without a father is
an orphan and If he hain't ct no mother
he is two orphans. The goat don't give so
much milk as Il cow, but more than an OK.
| saw an OK at a fair one day with card
tied to his left ear and he went in on a fam
ily ticket. Mother picks geese in the sum
mcr, and the goat eats grass and jumps on a
box. Some folks don't like goats, but AS
for me, give me mule with paint brush
tail. The goat is Il useful animal, but don't
smell as sweet as nice bears oil for the hair.
II | had too much hair | would wear wig,
as old Captain Peters does. will sell my
goat for three dollars; and go to the circus
and see the elephant, which is bigger than
five noaiS,
