RuloG, the Bin gh anton Murderer

The Utica Herald of the 10th inst, publish
es sketch of the remarkable career Of Ru-
loft, who has just been convicted of the MUIR
der OF Merrick, the dry goods clerk at Dng-
hamton:
Upwards of twenty-six years ago, Edward
ii. kuloff married an estimabe lady in Ithaca,
in this State. He was OF liberal education,
learned in the law, especially the criminal
code, an accomplished draughtsman, short.
hand writer and master OF several languages
he had then, what he still retains, a pleasing
exterior, perfect knowledge of the art Of
pleasing, something which commanded re-
spect, and at the same time attracted and en- /.
gagged sympathy and confidence. He was a
doctor, a lawyer, teacher, a mechanic, as he
saw fit, and, what was more remarkable, ap-
peared master OF each profession. Suddenly,
in the year 1S45, his wife and child disappear
ed. Rulof was arrested on charge of alb
duction, and was confined in jail at Ithaca.
He so won the confidence Of his jailor, Jarvis,
and his wife, that they committed their young
son, Albert M. Jarvis, 10 his tutelase. The
result OF his instructions was life OF crime,
which terminated with the Binehamton
burglary and quick following death in Che
mango river. The trial of Ru.Off for abduc-
tion took place at Ithaca. lie was convicted
and sentenced to Auburn State Prison for the
term OF ten years. During this trial, we are
crediby informed, Rulof' made a clean con-
fessioa to his counsel. The gentleman receiy
Ing it has since died, but just previous to his
death he confided it to professional brother
who is still living at Ithaca.
In prison Rulof was model man. lie
quickly won the confidence OF the authorities,
and, by his talents, took the front rank among
the prisoners. From designs made by him most
OF the carpets manufactured in prison during
his term were woven Immediately on his
discharge from prison Rulof was arrested on
charge of numbering his child. At his trial
he did, as he is now doiug a. Binehamtop-
pleaded his own case. He was found eultv
and sentenced to death. But the verdict was
set aside by the Court of Appeals on the
ground that no murder had been proved. as
there had been no body produced. He was
discharged, but was taken immediately back
to jail. Whether this was by his own request

Probably through connivance, Ruloff soon es-
capped from Jail. In his Wanderinos, hiding

AN AWFUL DEArH.-The Idaho States :
man tells of an awful death which befel two
brothers. James and Brisco Hicks, who left
Rocky Bar with the mail for Atlanta City ON
the Sth of December on onel of The most
stormy days ever known in the mountains
They had just come upon the grade OF Ball
Mountain, about ten miles from home, where
they we're startled by a snow slide coming
with the velocity of lightning down the side
OF the mountain. James Hicks was in adj
vance and had just few seconds before look:
ed at his watch and noticed the time, which
was four o'clock. As Jimmy saw his impend-
ing doom, he turned his snow shoes down the
hill, exclaiming, "Oh, God! Oh, Brisv This
was the last ever seen of poor Jimmy alive.
Ihey were carried down the mountain nearly
quarter OF mile into what is known as the
BLACK Warrior" the younger brother, Brisco
being carried up one side OF the gulch, while
Jimmy was taken down its centre over deep
decliyity of rocks. 1t is almost miracle how
Brisco Hicks dug himself out of nearly
twelve feet of snow, and that, too, in the
midst OF pitiless storm which was raging
furiously at the time, and Travelled all night
with snow-shees, in snow up to his arm-pts,
with no food and not even a pair of gloves,
one of the coolest nights of the season. Moth
ing bat thoughts of his dead brother, hts
home, his mother, his dear little sister, could
keep that boy alive. He arrived home Fri
day morning at about 8 o'clock, nearly frozen
both feet badly frozen-and proclaimed the
unwecome news to frantic and heart brok
en- mother, who became nearly crazed over
the sad event. In few hours the good peo-
pie OF Rocky Bar had turned out nearly ell
masse to DO all that kind hearts and willing
hands could to find the missing one, which
was done about noon of Saturday, aud his re
mains brought TO this place that night.

Defensive Medication.

Investigation is as necessary for the pro-
lection of the human body against disease
when unhealthy influences are abroad as
iron armor and granite easements are for
the protection Of ships and fortresses when
assailed by shot and shell. Hence 1t Is de-
sirable when those potent enemies Of vital
ity, damp and cold, pervade the air we
breathe, to put the system in the best posi-
bic condition to encounter them. The
stomach Is the organ by which every other
organ Is nouriShed and sustained, and
therefore upon It's vigorous and regular &C
ton depends in great measure the capac-
ity OF the system TO resist the assaults OF
the invisible enemies Of health and life, by
which, at this Indictment season, II Is sur
rounded. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an
admirable tonic and regulating medicine
for all seasons, is never more needed than
in winter, when the torpifying influence of
chilly atmosphere effects all the vital
functions, and renders the body extremely
susceptible. By tonlng the digestive organs
and the liver and the bowels with this I'M
equalled vegetable specific, physical con-
dtion Is attained which seems to be proof
against all varieties of temperature, and
that is inimical In the air Of winter. De-
fensive medication is precaution which
should never be neglected when danger is
present, and therefore a course OF the Bit
tiers at this season Is particularly desirable,
especially for the feeble and sickly. AS O
remedy for billOusness, dyspepsia, nervous
ness and bowel complaints, there Is nothing
comparable to this wholesome restorative.

Her parents and several brothers and sisters
died of this terrible disease. Mrs. Stauffer
was herself reduced to a mere skeleton, the

arrhoea worse than chronic, and her con-
dition 80 hopeless that at conference of
the old and skilful physicians she was pro-
nounced incurable. AT this stage Of the
disease, DR.. s. B. Hartman, Of Millersville,
Lancaster county, Pa, a physician Of four
teen years standing, prescribed MIsHLER's
HERB BITTKRs. The patient soon expert
enced a pleasing invigorating sensation
throughout her system. and encouraged by
her friends to continue under DIR. Hartman's
treatment she did so, gradually improving
under increased doses according TO her
strength until she entirely recovered. Mrs.
Stauffer is still living in the full enjoyment
Of perfect health. G. b. Herr. Esq, Prcsi-
