An Unjust Sentence.

If it were possible to count the num- Der of men and women who have been sacrificed to the force of mere circum- stantial evidence, the result would scarcely be satisfactory to the enforcers of the law. In illustration of this, an interesting incident appears in a French paper. Thirty years ago two French peasants were attacked as they were re- turning from village fair, one of them being murdered outright, while his companion was able to make his escape badly wounded. No trace of the assassins could be discovered for some time, but about year after, two men, named Lionnet and Dussud, were ar- rested on suspicion. The survivor, who at first said he should be unable to identify his assailants, was induced to swear that these were the men and though two persons of responsibility declared that Dussud had passed the evening upon which the crime was con- the court condemned him to fifteen years penal servitude, and his alleged companion to hard labor for life. The husband and wife who had come for ward to prove an alibi in favor of Dus-
 
 years at the galleys for perjury. They served their time and have since died, as also has Lionnet. Dussud, the sole survivor, who always asserted that he was innocent, has long since come back to his native village, and, despite the stigma attaching to returned convict, has been slowly regaining the goodwill of his neighbors.
 | cbo,.t lima ono on old ,oon nom o1 Rambin, who was lying i'll in hospital at St. Symphorien, sent for him, stating that he had some important communi- cation to make, and in presence of the priest and commissary of police, he confessed that he was the murderer, whence it followed that Dussud and Lionnet had been unjustly, punished. But for the favorable antecedents of the the extreme penalty of the law and even as it was, they not only suffered very severely, but were the innocent cause of ruin to the witnesses who came forward to testify to the truth in thei1 behalf.
 A LOCAL WAR. The war against liquor sellers which has just commenced in Massachusetts is at It's height in New Hampshire. The gentlemen who dis pense stimulants there are rather un scrupulous in their line of defense They girdle the trees of prominent tenn perance men ;. paint their doors black and in Plymouth they ruined $90owortf of marble monuments belonging to { temperance tradesman by smearing then with black paint. A pleasant state O things, according to local newspaper exists where crimination and recrimi nation, reports false and true, Christian and unchristian, have been batted iron one to the other, without much respec for age or sex, or previous reputation o condition"

A Frightful Tornado.
Houses, Barns, Cattle, and Human Be fnEs Whirled into the Air--Many
 Lives Lost.

Houses, Barns, Cattle, and Human Be.
 inEs Whirlod into the Air--Many
 Lives Lost. -#e 2
 A terrible tornado or whirlwind, ac- companied by hail and rain, passed over Iowa. It's path was about half Q mile ill width, and it tore into fragments everything in it's cotirse. Houses, barns, fences, trees, cattle, and human beings were caught up and whirled through the air like mere toys,. and then dashed to the ground with such violence as to produce instant destruction. Houses and barns were torn into fragments and scattered in all directions, and for miles around the fields are dotted with large timbers driven into the ground at an angle of 90 deg. The cattle were &C., tually driven head formost into the ground. One can scarcely conceive the desolation, or realize the force of the tornado.
 School was in session at school house six miles north of Washington, and the tornado tore the building to pieces, and carried the fourteen-year old daughter of Henry Rothmel about 8 quarter of a mile from the school. When found she was crushed to 8 jelly. Miss Smith, the teacher, and six or eight scholars, were injured, some of them severely. The wife of Henry Walters was killed, and at least dozen persons in the neighborhood were killed or seriously injured s
 The lives of many persons were saved by their hastily getting into the cellars of their houses. Sad havoc was made with all kinds of stock. From the de- scription of an eye witness it seems al- most miracle that anything in the track escaped alive. He says he could see large pieces of timber hurled from the cloud as though shot from cannon. Hail-stones fell that measured nine inches in diameter. Some were brought to Washington, and four hours after they were picked up they were still as large as hens eggs. The roaring of the tornado was fearful, and could have been easily heard ten miles. A tele- gram from Keota, says that five persons were killed about three miles from that place. One child was torn to pieces.
 A later dispatch from Washington says Additional particulars of the tornado make the damage great deal more than heretofore reported. Six more persons have died since the last dispatch was sent, making eight in all. An enormous amount of property has been destroyed. It is impossible to de. scribe the scene after the storm had passed. It resembled long tract oi country that had been suddenly over. flooded and everything carried away, and as if the water had suddenly fal len and left everything in complete ruin. The force of the storm was sucl that nothing resisted. Heavy object. were carried over quarter of mile and thrown to the ground with sucl violence as to half imbed them in tht earth. Wagons and farm implements of all kinds were strewn all over. Ever spokes were broken out of the wagon wheels. A hog was found pierced through and pinned to the ground by spike of timber by inches.
 The same tornado visited other sec tions of the West, and the loss of Tiff and property resulting from it are terri ble

Killed by a Stone,

Edward Kerrigan was tried in the Oyer and Terminer Court, New York, on an indictment for murder in the first degree, and narrowly escaped convic- tion for the full offence, receiving a sen tence to State Prison for life, having been found guilty of manslaughter ill the first degree. The case is singular one.
 In the evening of the 17th of August last, Martin Fritz, then keeper of beer some unknown persons throwing stones at his house. He started for an officer, and the stone throwing ceased for a time. Learning this from messenger, he did not return promptly. Little Maggie Fritz, the four-year-old pet of the Fritz household, became anxious about her papa. It was her hour for going to bed, and her mother asked her to do so. But she said, 5"I cannot go to bed until papa comes back. must kiss him good night" To please the child Mrs. Fritz took her to the front door, and held her in her arms few minutes, watching for the absent husband and father. Suddenly Mrs. Fritz felt Q shock, and the child uttered scream. It had been struck on the left side of the head by stone as large as mans hand, and it's skull was smashed as though it had been an egg-shell. Wit nesses testified that Kerrigan threw the stones from the roof of the house oppo- site that of Fritz. .f-.

The Great Summer Imvigorant.


 The human skin is full of holes a fine sieve. Through these millions of orihces a considerable portion of the waste matter of the system exudes. But in warm summer weather, when the How of precipitation is excessively copious, something besides the exhausted material of the body is ovaporated. Nutritive clements of the blood, re- quird for tho ustenance and support of the living frame pass through the pores, and the result is a loss of strength and vlgor. It would be dangerous o check the leakage, for every pore is at once g ventilation and an escape pipe, and constipation of the skin is detrimental to health constipa- force and vitalize the languid system with Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters, and thus enable it to bear without peril or inconvenience the extraordinary drain. The debility, lassitude and depression Of spirits so general in hot weather, and which are too often tho precursors of bilious attacks ana painful affections of the bowels and the nerves quickly disappear under the invigerating and regulating operation of this unequaled vegetable stimulant and alterative.
