GUYOT's TAR, s...
CONCENTRATED PROOF LIQUEUR

Mr. Guyot has succeeded in depriving tar
of its insupportable sourness and bitterness,
and in rendering it very soluble. Profting
by this happy discovery, he prepares con.
centrated liqueur Of tar, which IN small
volume contains a large proportion OF the
active principle.
Guyofs tar possesses all the advantages OF
ordinary tar-water without any OF its draw
backs A glass of excellent tar-water without
any disagreeable taste mayb be instantaneously
obtained by pouring teaspoonful into a
glass of water.
Any one can thus prepare his glass OF tar
water at the moment he requires 1t, thus
economizing time, facilitating carriage and
cbyiating the disagreeable necessity OF hand
Ling tar.
Guyofs tar replaces adyantageously Sc
yeral more or less inactive ptisans IN the
treatment of colds, bronchitis, coughs, and
tatarThs. -"
ouyots tar is employed with the greatest
success in the following diseases -

THE TERRIBLE MURDER NEAR COiuMRvs-A
STORY or DOMESTIC ISFE1LC1TY-The ynrticu
ITS of the terrible murder committed just
west of Columbus, Ohio, Tuesday morning
are rs follows:
Robert Dunlap. employed on the farm o.
W. Z. Hawkes., q man of diSsolutc habit.
and of. brutal passions when'drunk, has fol
some time suspected his wife of inidelitv
and has threatened to kill James Carpenter
a young man of excellent habits, and WHO i.
acting superintendent on Mr.. Hawkes. farm
This morning Dunlap'J wife saw Dunbar
come out Of the house with doube-harre
shotgun in his hand, and she fearing mis-
chief, begged him not to hurt her. Dunbar
then went to the cOrn-crib, where Carpenter
was ut work, and moment afterWard she
heard the report of Il gun and the scream Of
a man. s-'
Dunlap then returned to where his wife
was standing and fired the other barrel of his
shotgun at her, just grazing her back and
setting her clothes on fire. He then beat her
over the head with the gun, breaking the
glln.stock TO splinters, and nadu his escape
On going to the corn-crib soon after, Carpen
ter Ntts found lead, his face buried In his
hat. which was full of blood. The wound
in his lett breast, where the contents! Of the
gun entered. was ghastly-looking in the ex.
IRENE, and about three inches long. Two
shots passed through his heart, and must
have killed him instantly. Carpenters fami-
~ connections are prominent citizens here,
and his habits have been such ;is tu make it
very improbable that Dunlap's suggestions
as to his intimacy with bis wife were correct.
Mrs. Dunlap, although very seriously in
jared, will recover.

VIRGINIA AND NORTH CARoLNA.-The to-
bacco crop Of the season is not first.rate
one. AT one time it promised finely. hut in
ripening OH the bill has not done well. We
have had opportunity within few days past
of seeing a number Of tobacco fields In a
diStrictof country that produces the weed in
az high perfection as. any on the globe. and
! we observed that while much of the tobacco
was bright, very many of the plants were
not ripening uniformly, some OF the leaves
being entirel! ripe aud yellow while others,
particularly those at top, were still greon.
What Is worse the fields were firing badly
so that the ground-leaves in many places
were entirely destroyed. Much Of it was
mere trash. We hear that this condition of
things exists generally in the surrounding
counties of Virginia and North Carolina,
and the received opinion is that the crop
will inevitably be light and chatfy. II Is Ger.
