GREAT excitement prevails in Shelby
city, kentucky, in reference to another of
those "chivalric y deeds Of blood which
periodically .agitate the community in GER
tain sections of our country. In this in
stance the bold desperate did not enter
the town on the conventional horseback
and amuse himself by firing a murderous
revolver right and left, galloping the while
at break-neck pace through the streets.
No, he just rode leisurely into the place,
tied his sleek steed to a convenient hitch
ing-post, walked into drug store, and,
with cool deliberation, perforated the
anatomy of the young man behind the
counter, killing him instantly. He then
mounted his horse and departed. AS this
fellow has thus committed his fourth muir
der, the community are beginning to think
his career should be cut short.

THE heaviest corn crop ever grown in the
United States was that of last year, which
the agricultural report states at a huge
total of 1,lO0,0O0,000 bushels. Not only
is this the largest crop, but it is said to be
corn Of better quality and of greater intrin-
sic value than usual. Iowa was the ban.
ner corn-growing state, her average being
nearly forty-one bushels to an acre. I'm
fortunately for some Of those who would
like to have Iowa corn, it takes the price
of four bushels of said corn to get one
bushel to the Atlantic markets.

THE idea of proportional or minority
representation appears to be gradually
growing into favor in several states in
which the majority system at present pre-
walls. A bill for the adoption of the plan
has been introduced in the New York Leg
islature during its present session, and we
observe that the proposition is being agi-
tated in Indiana, where it appears to be
Endorsed by quite number of the most
thoughtful and intelligent public men, ire
spcctive of party politics. In some other
states, also, the subject is undergoing dis
cussion, TIE general drift of opinion appe-
rently being in favor of giving the system
fair and honest trial. Whether the plan
is really an improvement on the method at
present in vogue remains yet to be seen.
Illinois, however, expresses herself quite
satisfied with its workings thus far.

THE Pennsylvania Central continues to
reach out its arms in all directions. Coin
cdent with the announcement, which we
made some days ago, that Colonel Scott
contemplated speedy extension Of that
road to Boston, we are informed from
Washington that he intends to establish a
new line Of steamers between San Fran
cisco, New Zealand and intermediate ports;
the proposition being to construct large
complement of American-built iron-screw
propellers, and run them in connection
with the Pacific railroads; commencing
business, probably, with hired iron steam
ers belonging to the established English
lines now plying between New York and
Europe. a number Of heavy capitalists,
principally railroad men, are said to be
interested with him in the enterprise,
which it is proposed to put into active ope-
ration without delay. There is also another
proposition mentioned--the probable abb
sorption by the Pennsylvania Central of a
aleading Indianapolis line to the West, con-
Meeting with the railway systems of Mis-
souri, and Iowa, and by means of the
Union and Central roads, forming a direct
line across the continent. The more grano
trunk lires, especially competing ones, the
better, and the more likely to result III
cheap transportation. In connection with
these movements, we notice that ' Farm
ers' Clubs y are springing up all over The
West, for the purpose Of operating against
transportation extortions.

THOSE opposing the postal telegraph
are constantly discrediting their own state
ments, and defeating their own arguments.
One of the cardinal points Of the opposi-
ton to government telegraph is that gov
eminent work is always more expensive
and less efficient than private, and the de-
ficicncy Of the postoffice is triumphantiy
shown up as an illustration. We pointed
out, some time ago, that this deficiency
was due principally to the immense
amount Of free matter thrown upon the
department by the other branches
Of government, and not to incompetent
management. But Mr.. Orton refutes the
assumption that the telegraph is rival
of the mail, by saying that his company
patronizes that unpopular and inefficient
institution, the postofiice, to o larger ex-
tent than anybody else in the country.
Notwithstanding the wires are principally
used for commercial dispatches, which are
sent during the business part Of the day,
most of the company's official correspond
ence is done by mail instead Of upon its
own unoccupied lines. But this is not all.
1t has just come to light that
some of the telegraph companies are
employing largely the money-order
office, self-sustaining branch of the mis-
erably-managed postal service, for the
transmission of their weekly receipts from
outlying offices to headquarters. Not only
is this the case at the smaller points reached
by the money-order system, but also ii
such cities as Albany, Louisville, &C..
where expresses and banks, and Other
cheap and reliable private institutions arr
in full operation. Now, let US hear some
thing in reply to this, which we can use tx
conrute some other proposition of the tele
graph people. We take great pleasure IL
shooting them with their own ammunition

A GENEROUS ACT

Our readers have not forgotten the
death of John Gavin. of Otsego. who
wasfatallygoredby abull a few months
ago. He was tenant upon farm
belonging to q A Whitney, of this
village, and had been during the past
SIX years, The bull. however. was
one which he purchased himself, and
could not be said TO be the property
of Mr.. Whitney, Though it has been
otherwise stated. Upon settlement
last spring Mr Gavin owed Mr. Whit
ney $3.50, all the remuneration ever
made for which was some work done
in seeding, shortly afterwards. But
Gavin died in INDECENT circumstances
and left a large family of small chill
dren. Last week Mr. Whitney deed
ed to the widow farm of eighty
acres, ubon which is new dwelling,
sufficient stables, and other convent
ences. He had farms of his own
which he could have conveyedto her;
but her friends wished to have her
near then that they might help hel
about the farm work, and this land
was selected for that reason. Mr..
Whitney also secured to her fifty
bushels of wheat, three horses, two
COWS, seven hogs, and in fact enough
to make her and her family comfort
able for a year. Whatever they may
think whose life is perpetual grind
at the money-mill, there are better
things in tbs than greenbacks; anc

Louisa Muhlbach, whose death Is
reported from Berlin, attained a Ger.

series of historical novels which,
while they drew forth the adverse
criticism of historians generally,
gained for her the favor of large

the Atlantic. She was the wife of a
erman literateur, professor of his
tory and general literature at Breslau
and librarian of the University oil

KILLED HIS MOTHER.

Antoine Hunklener, /" rough" O
San Francisco, has got himself in &
tight place for killing his mother, q
Mrs Catherine Erni. The case, as
reported In the paper presents horri-
BILE state into which the lowest class
ofsociety in San Francisco has fallen.
The son was constitutionally thirsty,
and the mother gave him money
wherewith to quench his thirst. we'll
knowing that she would be beaten and
otherwise abused as a consequence
1t seemed to be her fate to die just
that way-killed by inches; and so
she crawled toward the grave. The
woman became afraid to stay in her
house-to meet the boy when he
came home. He got tired of her tim
idity and weepings and one night sa-
luted her with, " Come in, you old
prostitute; I'll put an end to you
tonight" And he did, accord
ing to the opinion of the Coroner's
Jury, which was called to inspect his
work. The neighbors heard the Lam
guage he used, saw the old woman
dragged into the howell, were startled
with sounds like the breaking of
crockery, and then all was still.
