THE woMAN's HISTORY.

Sue Hungerford, as she is called by
the demi monde, was born in the city of
augusta, Ga, on the 3Oth day of Sep
tember, 1S47, aud is therefore in her
Gath year. Her family is we'll known in
Augusta. Her parents determined that
she should have n superior education,
sent her to the Convent Of the Sacred
Heart in Montreal, from which instituI
ton she graduated with honor. In an
evil hour she fell into the fangs of the
destroyer, and too proud to bury her
shame in tears of penitcnce and %contri-
ton, she pursued the downward path of
degradation until her once pure nninc be-
came the symbol of reproach. AS a VIC
man of the town she is we'll known.
In her manners she is said to be very
attractive, as a eonversationalist ubivcr-
sally pleasing, and her features, in spite
of the life she has led for years are re-
ported to be ~undeniably attractive. In
der other circumstances she would have
been idolized us IL favored member of So
clety-now, "none are 30 poor as to do
her reverence" She remarked yester-
day I: The girl Of the town can never
rctrace her steps; were 1 disposed to
work at the most mqnial employment,
which of you, gentlemen, would take INC
TO his house and give mo bread for my
labor? Not one ! Not one!"
THE CAUSE Of THE ATTACK MADE UpoN
Some time ago Mr.. John A. Staley, a
man advanced in years, and the husband
OF the person who made the assault, in
his capacity of agent, had the letting of
the house in which MIR. Forgarty lives.
White collecting rents he fell in with
Sue Hungerford, and formed her &c
quaintance. Sue did not object, it was
her vocation. He neglected his lawful
wife for her, and eventually Mrs. Staley
was Informed that Sue had had n child
by him. Day after day the wife sat end
brooded over her deep wrong, until mad
dened with desperation, she resolved to
take her rivals life. She went upon her
mission accompanied by the parties al
ready named, and the result is before our
readers.

OUR RAILROAD MOVEMENTS.

| The steps taken by St Cloud to Sc
cure the entering Of certain lines o.
railroad into the city aud the establish.
ment Of Union dcptot, have attracted
much attention IN ether localities. The
importance eff the movement is genor-
ally recognized. The Superior Times
has lem thy article on "How Railroad
Business is Done IN St. Cloud" in
which it commends highly tho prompt
ness Of action which has characterized
all that has thus far been dono, It says {:
'The city Of St. Cloud, MINI. has long
been considered by the people Of Superior
as in many respects a companion and ally
in waiting and working for better times.
And consequently We are glad to record
that late railroad enterprise heartily en-.
tered into BY the citizens of St. Cloud, has
met with gratifying success"
1t details the proceedings of the first
meeting, giving Mayor Kerr's remarks,
and adds
"There is something for other towns to
learn iu the spirit and business compact
ness of the resolutions adopted by the cit
zens meeting. There were but four. The
first spoke Of the question of obtaining the
railroad as Of vital Importance. The Sec
ond pledged:certain things to secure it.
The third urged union and action. The
fourth called for committee to act"
Referring to the letting of tho con-
tract to De Graft & Co., the Times says:
$50 by this time next year St. Cloud will
probably be enjoying the fruits of her wise
and prompt action. Yet if she had failed
entirely 1t would not have been her fault,
and the work from beginning to end
as far as St. Cloud is concerned. was 40.
complshed in six days. Her citizens WISE
ly united as though of one opinion and one
interest till they had secured their railroad.
And that is the way to do. No other
course will benefit q place six days, six
years, or thirty years. And for such
prompt united work St. Cloud deserves the
success ehe has attained.

tatives and officers for the coming year
or two years. The ticket standing at the
head Of this paper must commend it.
self to the judgment Of all unprejudic-
cd men. An efficient and influential
member Of the State Senate is Of
prime necessity to Stearus County ;
and Capt. L. W. Collins exactly meets
these requirements. Beng thoroughly
acquainted with the wants Of the Couu.
ty, he could adopt measures to fulfill
them and, being in harmony With the
political majority in the Senate, would
be able to WELD an Influence his CON-
petitor could in no wise obtain. 1t is
for the interest Of every tax. payer in
Stsarns County not only to vote for
Capt. Collins, but to aoork to secure
his election by large majority:
Tho candidates for tho House are
oil good men, who would serve their
Districts creditably and efficiently.
In this District (thc First.) MI. E.
e. earns should receive a hearty aud
=. enthusiastic support, not only from his
party friends, but from Democrats as
we'll.
The proper transaction of the bust.
moss Of the County requires the servic-
es Of an able County Attorney. Mr.
D. Il. Soarle, the Republ ican pomi-
nee, is just tho nan f3r the place.
He hs, thorough legal education,
having graduated at Columbia COL
lege, in Washington City, in 1858,
and was admitted to practice before
the United States Supreme Court that
same year. He is now associated in
the practice of law with Judge Hamlin
Of this city. We would urge strong
effort through the County for Mr..
6earle's election, that the legal bust
uess Of the County may be properly at
tended to.
MI. John Coates is *ell qualified
for Sheriff, as his many friends
know. Democrats, as woll as Republi-

elect him.
