HORRIBLE MURDER.-The Cameron
Penn. Herald gives the following shock
ing affair.
On Friday, the lst inst, Mrs. Sarah
Meyers, wife of Theodore Meyers, living
at Browns mill. on Benefits branch,
about six miles up from Driftwood, kill
ed her infant son, aged nine months, by
roasting and boiling it alive 1t APP
pears that on Friday Mrs. Meyers went
out to one of the neighbors, and on re-
turning to the house she picked up the
youngest child and put him on top of
the hot stove. After holding him there
a moment she took him up and put him
into large dish of boiling apple sauce,
crowded the babe down into the dish
and held him there. She then turned
the child over and pushed him down in
to the boiling sauce again, thus boiling
him on both sides. The other children,
scared by the screams of their little
brother, ran to the mill and told the
men at work there what their mother
was doing, and they hurried to the house
as fast as possible, but not in time to
save the life of the child. 1t had been
literally roasted and boiled alive, and
died before medical aid could be obtain
ed. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Meyers is
subject to fits of insanity, and that it
was while she was in one of these fits
that she committed the unnatural and
horrible deed.

GREELEYANA.- The New Orleans
Times gets off the following on the ge-
NAL farmer of Chappaqua: "Mr. Gree
ley writes to confectioner in Boston
that in making calves foot jelly, the
Durham breed should always be selected.
Take live calf, place his hind feet in
a corn mill, and then commence to turn,
and the jelly will flow out in crude
state. Collect this in pan and throw
away the calf. When properly stewed
and favored with the fruit of the axle
tree, it makes a delicious condiment,
and is also good for bone-felons. In
the same letter he denies that sugar
plums can be successfully grated on
the MespiLas or Japan plum. The
sugar plum, he says, is the natural
fruit of the sugar cane. While visiting
the South I often saw colored children
gathering them from the parent stock,
already done up in fancy paper and blue
ribbons.

The Charleston Is. c. Courier says:
Several grocers have been called
upon in the past few days by parties
who asked them for small box to make
bird cages, and when they would find
that they the grocers) had no boxes
suitable, they would invariably ask for
an empty cigar box. The unsuspecting
clerk or owner, not dreaming for one
moment to whom they we're talking,
gave them the desired cigar boxes.
Sometime after they found themselves
in the custody of the United States au-
thorities, charged with violating the In
ternal Revenue law, by disposlng of the
said boxes without canceling the stamps
on them. Many of them were ignorant
of the requirements of the law, and
hence their surprise on being arrested"
The New York Tribune says: IAN
astonishing rumor has recently prevail

that the Governor is about to appoint

says that of colonies alone in Virginia,
regular and honorary, there cannot be
less than 10000 including members of
the Legislature, newspaper reporters,
lawyers, sheriffs, and other public men,
whose acknowledged right is thus to be
dubbed If this sort of thing continues

The Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania appears to have made
some conspicuously bad nominations and
selections Of delegates, and dissatisfac-
ton is rife. 1t is claimed that it has
not been customary for the State conven-
ton to name district delegates to the
National convention, and that the men
appointed are too generally not such as
would be selected by the districts. 1t
is probable that district delegates will
be selected by local conventions. The
course pursued by the managers of the
convention is peculiarly unfortunate, as
it tends to give fictitious consequences
to the boiling movement, and may en-
danger the State in October-at time
when its vote is potential in the decision
of the Presidential question.

The New York Times romances in

The New York Times romances in
this style: Three or four years ago a
theatrical manager of this city was in
London, engaging talent for his estab-
lishment. Among the applicants, were
two sisters, who wanted to come to
America, and they obtained places in
his company and in due time made their
appearance before the New York public.
They were engaged for the ballet and
have danced in this city, Boston. Phila-
delphia, and other large cities, to the
delight of the public and the satisfac-
ton of their managers. They lived
very quietly, made few acquaintance,
and when off the stage were nearly al
ways together Their pay was increased
by work at odd times OIL embroidery, in
which they were very skillful, but their
duties at the theater did not allow them
much opportunity for this extra employ
ment Last week one of them received
a letter announcing that by the death
of a relative each was the happy posses
sor of ten thousand pounds sterling
As soon as the proper papers arrive they
will bid farewell to the stage, and re-
turn to London to enjoy the fortune
which has unexpectedly fallen to them

Taking Cold in Warm Weather.

Many people think there is no
danger Of taking cold when the
weather is very warm, and expose
themselves in various ways when
oyc.neated, fatigued or sweaty This
is an erroneous ldea-destructive to
life and health, When the system S
tatigued with exercise, oyerheated or
sweating, great caution is necessary
to guard against taking cold. Some
people say they never take cold, and
have no fear Of taking cold, But
are they never i'll in some form ? 0
yes but they do not cough, and con-
cluue they DO not take cold.
Colds do not affect all people
alike. All do not cough that have
been exposed to cold but the in
sensible perspiration can not be sud
denly checked without injury to
people and animals. Hence it is
dangerous to drink cold dr. nks when
one sits down to rest, though if ex-
ercise is continued, they may be par
taken Of in small quantities with
benefit, The systems OF men and
animals that exercise must not be
rapidly bat gradually cooled.
Horses ought not to be wattred
when about to stop exercise, either
in walm or cold veGther. This
practice subjects them to disease,
and oftea destroys their lives,
More than twenty-five years since,
read in Cutters Physiology" that
when people were warm with exer-
else, or from other cause, they ought
to throw something over their shoul-
ders on sitting down to rest Al
observance of this rule has, | am
satisfied, saved me much sickness
If men would put on coat wher
resting, or after work at night, il
would cave them many bad feelings
sickness, and sometimes death.
