About one-third of an ounce ofiron
exists in the human body, orjust enough,
if extracted from the remains, to make q
mourning ring. as is said to have been
done byso ingenious Frenchman. The
chief function of this metal in the system
seems to be to carry oxygen, for which
this metal has powerful affinity, from
the lungs. in the arterial blood, through
out the entire body. The deficiency is
indicated by pale or greenish hue in
the complexion.

An ancient story runs, that the birds
once met to choose a monarch; whoever
scared the highest was to reign ov r
them. "Up sprang all the birds into
the air, but highest of all rose the eagle,
who, after mounting until his wearied
wings could beat no more, proclaimed
himself the sovereign of the birds. But,
all unperceived, the little wren had been
quietly perching between his shoulders,
and as soon as the eagle ceased to mount
he rose on tiny pinion far above the
wearied eagle, and twittered forth the
victory of wit and intellec. over bulk and
physical strength"

wildly he sought her to save him. With
clasped hands, he cried over and over,
+" Save me oh save me y She die not
seem to comprehend the state Of his mind
or the nature Of the request, and answer
ed, al cannot save you"
He then Grew his revolver and struck
her, the revolver fell from his hand and
his little daughter seized it and threw ii
out of the window. He then took ra-
zor from trunk, seized his little boy
Vincent, named after the place of his
birth, who still slept, carried him to the
middle of the room, and knelt on one
knee. The little sleeping child awoke,
saw his father and gently closed his eyes.
In this condition his wife caught the
CLEAN of the razor in his right hand,
while the child's neck hung over his left
arm. With loud scream she rushed
on him to save her darling boy. 0 hor-
ror it was too late. He threw the body
on the floor and made an attack on the
littlegirl. Throwing herselfon her back
in corner Of the room, so swift were
the motions of her hands and feet that
he could not get at her throat. Her
hands and feet were cut, but not serious
ly. He then made dash at his wife
All this time Mrs. I. and the little girl
were screaming for help, and three men
living below burst open the door. Like
a demon covered with blood he drew the
razor and rushed at the men, who fled in
terror down the stairs out into the street,
where they cried for police. Turning
upon his wife again he struck at her
throat. and cut off the Aeshy portion Of
her chin, which dropped to the floor. He
then cut her cheek open from her mouth
to her ear. AT this juncture the men
came back, and striking Tucker a blow
on his head disabled him, and the life of
the woman was saved.
! Mr.. Tucker was arrested, thrown into
/ prison and tried for murder-ex-Speak-
er Hadley, who had known him both
here and in Albany, defending him, and

paying the expenses of the trial. The
plea was insanity. He was sent to the
Lunatic Asylum at Utica. After few
months he escaped he hired out and
worked one summer as common labor
er upon farm in Oswego county, leav
ing that place he went to Troy, and pre-
sented himself one day-in 1857 We
think-in the Times office, the very per
sonifcation of wretchedness and despair

THE LOST sEuRET,

IL is said, aud we have no reason for
time of Cesar an artist made glass vessels
o. such toughness that they would not
break when dashed upon the floor. This
WAS showing a great disrespect for the laws
of nature, as understood by the Conquerer
OF GAul, 50, when be heard that no other
man possessed the secret, he caused the
artist to be put to death. Although the
secret was lost, it has been found again.
Now we would not accuse any man wrong
fully, but il is a fact that the celebrated
Masons Improved Fruit Jar possesses this
same quality, and our conclusion is that the
long lost secret must have been discovered
by that well known pioneer Of the trade, A.
know, ne possesses some very old secrets,
aud il wo uld be Just his cut to possess any
secret that would make glass resist any
amount o. dsshing upon the floor. Proba-
bly, no fruit jar is better known, better liked
OF has larger sale than the Masons I'm
proved Jar, as the fortuue it has made tor its
manufactures proves. Certain it is, its
preserving qualities are perfecss and it is
universally known as the standard, domes-
tic article, and is e1Oelled by none. Every
dealer should have it and, to large whole
sale dealers who may have occasion to visil
Philadelphia, we would say do not fail tc
call upon Mr.. Samuel at his Office, corner o
Howard and Oxford streets. You will NEE
with cordial and the most gentemAnly re-
ception from the proprietor, who is one o
the most careful, shreEd and successful
business men of the times, full of SOUND
business logic and always ready toentertair
his patrons. By careful examination, his
name may be found in another part of thi.
paper.

WALTHAM
WAT CH z S.

The extensive use Of these watches for the last
fifteen years BY Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most exaeting of watch
wesrers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy Of
the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in
all these respects is to decide the question as to
the real value of these time keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are
now speaking tor themselves in the pockets Of
tho people-a proof and guarantee of their su-
2eriority over ali others.
The superior organization and great extent
of the Company's Works at Waltham, enables
them to produce watches at price which ren =
ders competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch merely pay from IS to so per cent.

PERFECT RooFINC.-Messrs. Caldwell Il
Co., Of Cincinnati, have invented q method
Of roofing in building, which seems destined
to surpsss all others now iu common use.
They make the plastic joint iron roofing,
which is very cheap and durable is fast
ened to the Ioof without nails, and does not
require to be soldersd at the joints. Perfect
security from the operations of the weathe r,
unusual cheapmcnt, aud great durability are
among the good qualities claimed for this
style Of roofing. 1t should be generally
introduced. Address Caldwell & Co., Gin.
