A MODERN BoRGIA,-There is now
on trial at Derby, Conn, a woman
accused of the most shocking series
of murders known since the
days Of Borgias, being no less than
the successive murders of three hus-
bands and eight children by poison
ing. First came the death Of her
first husband, Edward Struck then
the death of her own six children by
that marriage, within the space of
eighteen months Of her second hus-
band, Hurlbert, with whom she lived
little more than a year of her
third husband, Nelson III. Sherman
and two Of his children by former
marriage, the three deaths occurring
between last November and March
of this year.
The bodies have been examined
and traces of arsenic found in the
stomachs, and thus far the evidence
seems to point surely towards Mrs.
Sherman as the wholesale murderess.
She appears to be untroubled, how
ever, and asserts her innocence and
her confidence in favorable result
OF the trial. 1t is altogether the
most remarkable murder trial of the
age, surprising in interest that Of
Mrs. Burdell dozen years ago.

tA-Mr. James Parton writes
crisp letter to The Golden Age, be-
ginning: do you want to know

Secretary" Mr.. Parton then goes
on to speak Of business men who ex-
perience such necessity, says that
members of Congress, who have pri-
vate fortunes, generally have them,
that General Butler has two, both of
whom are kept busy, that Mr.. Col
fax occupying the second position in
a rich and powerful nation, has the
salary of bank cashier, and that his
determin alton to retro to private
life under the circumstances is easily
explained. Able men, he says, can
not be had for the wages we pay
caIumny and poverty. He concludes:
The remedy is simple and obvious.
Abolish all fees, mileages, and per-
quisites, and multiply the salaries of
the leading persons of the Govern
ment by three; which would about
bring them to the point at which
they were fixed in the time OF Pres
ident Washington" But, meanwhile

Connecticut is SO closely balanced that no
one can say with confidence how she will
cast her electoral vote We have put I'LL

Democrats in the last election reduced the
Radical majority from forty or fifty thous-

CONDITION OF WESTERN CROPS. Chicago,
June 25.-Reports from eastern and CEN
trail Wisconsin, eastern and central Iowa,
northern and central Indiana, and all parts
Of Illinois indicate that the recent thunder
storm and hurricane had no perceptible ill
effects upon growing crops. Many dis
patches say the crop prospects were never
better. In few localities wheat is suffer-
ing from rust. Reports from western Wis
consin and the great wheat belt in MINES
ota do not give favorable view.
The st. Paul Press says recent trip
over the section bordering the Mississippi
river showed that the reported i'll condition
Of the wheat crop was fully justified. Ac.
counts from Minnesota justify the belief that
the disaster has been general and the yield
would be far below the average

Payne PANrHER.-A correspondent Of
the Clarksburg (West Virginia. Conserva-
tive, writing on the 18th instant says:
"a fatal accident happened on Leading
creek last week. which is sad warning to
those who are in the habit of playing jokes
on children. The facts are as my infor-
mant stated them: A Captain Ford, Of Bar
bour county, happened near Mr.. Jesse Hor-
nets home with panther skin, and seeing
little boy, about twelve or fourteen years
of age, son of Mr.. Hornet, in skirt Of
woods near the house, donned the skin with
the intention Of frightening the little fellow,
but as soon as the boy saw what he suppos-
ed to be panther, he ran to the house and
took down his fathers rife, and went in
pursuit of the panther. He did not have to
60 far before he espied him. The boy then
fred the gun. The man-panther gave a
dying shrek, and with convulsive spasm
fell over MORALLY wounded. The little fell
low did not see his mistake until he went up
to the wounded man. Ford fingered two
days, and then died.

On June 10th, in Staunton, Va. Miss Lizzie
Graves, in the 18th year of her age.
There was so much peculiar In the subject of
this sketch as to demand more than brief no.
tice of her death.
When vet in her tenth year she applied for ad-
mission, and was received into full communion
with the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Her
conservation, to God, though 50 young, was
after, was to do good and promote the interest of
His kingdom through whose blood she had been
redeemed But though she loved the house of
God SO we'll, yet long was she deprived of this
privilege In August 1868, she was attacked
with disease which, though at times seemed
about to yield to treatment, yet for near three
wears she was the subject of wasting and, at
this long illness she exemplifed, as one never
saw it before, the graces Of patience, submission
and unsWerving confidence in God. Never have
we seen such a practical demonstration of the
inspired utterance: "My grace shalt be sufficient
for thee i" To her friends, her death, though
afflicted for 10 many months, was unexpected,
but it was not 50 to her. Her lamp was trim
med, and she herself, like to a servant waiting
the coming of the bridegroom. During her
sickness she often expressed the desire that she
might be buried while the glad notes the Church
bells wese calling the people to Sabbath services;
And 10 it was. Amid the bright sunshine of
the ssday of all the week the best while the
citizens were vending their way to the sanctua-
~ she was carried to the Church of her choice,
where funeral discourse was delivered by her
pastor, and then, by a large. eeneourse Ct sym.
pathizing friends, she was followed to Thorn
rose Cemetery, where, not deaa but sleeping she
put on immortality"

PorAro AND ONION TRADE.-For sever
al years after the war considerable bust.
ness was done in shipping potatoes from this
vicinity to New York and other points north
Of Virginia. The trade was overdone, how
ever, and for the last three years past but
little has been done in that line. This year,
the trade has revived, and now good
many are being bought up here for ship
ment to New York.
Onions, also, our whole supply of which
formerly came from New York, are now
being shipped thence from here. One Of
our commission merchants shipped on yes
terday two hundred barrels to house in
that city. This is complete reversal Of
trade, and proves what can be done in this
State under proper management No eli
mate or soil on the globe suits these small
crops better than ours.-Dispatch.
