Did Foster Take Poison 2

The statement, though contradicted,
is true, that Foster had poisoned him
self some hours before his execution. and
would have died of the poison had not
his sentence been summarily carried out.
At least [ believe the story from all can
hear. 1t is supposed the wife of the
murderer carried to him the fatal drug
Gt was probably preparation of NOR
phine) the last time she visited him that
he kept it until o'clock, expecting a
reprieve up to that time then went to
his cell, swallowed the poison, and lay
down to what he supposed would prove
eternal oblivion. He slept by its agency
until he was aroused and ordered to pre-
pare for the gallows. The time for the
execution had been fixed at IL o'clock !;
he was hanged at 9:15 a. m. It would
seem that the attaches of the Tombs had
known of his intent to commit suicide.
and had winked at it. The Sheriff, how
ever, had no suspicion of the thing, and
did not learn of it until $50. Then he
ordered his deputies to make all pos
sible haste, lest the scaffold might be
cheated of its victim and the result was,
that, at 9:20 a. M, Foster was dangling
at the end of the rope.
The murderer could have suffered very
little, if at all, either physically or men
tally. Those who witnessed the scene
say he was completely stupefed by the
drug, and had no conception of what
was passing. It seems pity the unfor-
tunate man should not have been per-
mitted to die in his cell, instead of being
forced upon the gallows to make such a
CHASTITY end.-Neo0 York Letter.

A Fearful Story.

The following letter is from Thomas
Warren, of Union county, Ark, to J.
NJ. Courtney, of Clay county, Mo-, and
dated but a few days ago:
'' / will tell you now of a horrible
murder that took place not far from
where 1 live. 1t happened about a
month ago. There were four negroes
concerned in it. A married lady went
to neighbor's house to stay a few
days. She was not well when she left
home, and her husband told her that he
would take care of the children until she
came back, but when she, got to where
she was going there was no one at home
but hired men, and she started back.
She had not gone far before negro
stopped her horse, took her off the horse
and hitched it outside of the road, and
told her to take the path before him,
and he drove and pushed and pulled her
eight miles into the bottom and tied her
to tree and ravished her He kept her
there three days and nights tied to the
tree, and the second day while there she
had child in the woods by herself. She
was gone from home three days before
her husband went after her. He went
over to the house where she had started
to go, and when he found she was not
there, started back home, and found
her horse tied where the negro had left
it three days before. He took the horse
home and collected some men together,
and commenced hunting for her, and the
next day they saw two little negroes who
told them that they had seen negro
the day before driving white woman
down the path. They scattered out to
hunt for them, and got so close that the
negro went by where the woman was
tied, killed her with a stick, and then
left her. But they went on after him,
but got off his track.
"The negro stopped at home, and
asked a negro man and boy if there was
anybody hunting for a missing lady !;
they told him yes, and as he got up to
start they caught him and started back
with him, and met one of the men in
pursuit. They made him tell where the
woman was. He said he killed
her Then they made him take them to
where she was. He said they were in
sight of her the day before, when the
woman tainted, and she tainted three or
four times while tied and that she
begged him to turn her loose, and that
he would not. They took the negro to
her husband, and asked him what they
must do with him. He told them to
burn him. The men who had him were
all negroes. They built two log heaps,
and put him in the middle. They were
twentyfour hours burning him; they
cut his toes off and made him swallow
them, and then cut strips of skin off his
body and made him broil them on the
Goals and eat them; and they would roll
him on the Goals and take him out and
talk to him and put him back, and at
last they built large fire, put him on
the top of it and let him burn to ashes,
and that was the last of him. There
was not white man that had anything
to do with it-an negroes. The other
three negroes that were killed were shot
dead on the spot. They knew where the
woman was and would not tell.
g saw lady who helped to shroud
the murdered woman, and she said she
was bruised all over her body, where he
had hit her with his fist. She leaves
three children and husband. st.

CoIIanse of the Nerves.

There is nothing more disheartening than nerv-
Gus debility. In extreme Of this class the
sufferers do not care whether they live die. A
feeling of hopelessness comes them, and in
some instances where the threatening symptoms
are not met by prompt and proper treatment, lun-
acy idiocy ensues Yet nervous debility is not
a dangerous complaint if wisely dealt with. A
med Gated stimulant is the remedy needed, and in
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters this specific for the
com plant is presented in its purest and most po-
tent form. Nervous disease is usually plica ed
with other ailments. 1t frequently involves bill
iousness constipation, irregularities of the bow
els, indigestion, and great mental depression III
the spring Of the year. owing to the effect of chill
ing fogs, searching winds, and other unhealthy at
mospheric phenomena, upon the external nerves
who subject to nervous affections otter
suffer acute distress, both of body and mind from
this 1t is, therefore, advisable for all who
liable to these troubles and to the other bodily
ills above mentioned, which frequently accom-
pany them, to commence the regular of Hos
letters Bitters early in the season The severe
nervous and bilious attacks, with which they
might otherwise be visited, by this means bC
certainly avoided. AS a nervine, gentle aperient
and anti-bilious medicine, the Bitters have NJ
equal.

BARRIERS BURNED AWAY. "-Hadley
Brothers, 136 State street, have laid
upon our table an elegantly printed
duodecimo volume of 500 pages, bearing
the above title. 1t is work of fiction
founded upon incidents connected with
the great Chicago fire, and, therefore,
possesses peculiar interest for Chicago
readers. Although the author (Rev.
Edward P. Roe) is a preacher of the
Gospel, and the book is written from a
Christian standpoint, it is a narrative of
absorbing and thrilling interest, that

New PROCESS FOR PRESERVING MEATS.

New PROCESS FOR PRESERVING MEATS.
According to the London Athen9una,
Mr.. Marietta has lately been calling at
tention to a new process for preserving
meat fresh. This consists in dipping
the fresh meat into melted butter, and
then packing it in salt. The exanaina-
ton of the specimens furnished by him
is said to have been quite satisfactory
but, in the opinion of the Atheneuna, it
does not differ essentially from that of
dipping the meat in paraffine. which an
swered for temperate climate, but
failed in tropical region.
