lowing account of tho hanging OF

Osborne was brought here from
Galesburg early this morning. lie
seemed to he in good spirits. About

to w. Matthews, a brother of John,
that he killed Mrs. Matthews. lie
says he followed her to the cellar, hit
her on the back Of the head with a
brick and left her, but afterwards re-
turned and cut her throat with u
knife. He denies that lie ravishcd
her, but atirms that he was hired to
kill her. This statement was written
out in full, and handed to his minis
ter for publication. At one o'clock
he was brought on the scatlold, and
stated that he had written out II full
confession. lie made no speech. and
showed no fear. When asked if he
was ready he said t'ycs SIR" prompt
ly, and stepped on the trap. His
arms and feet were pinioned, the
black cap adjusted, Smd, ut eleven
minutes past II O'Clock, the drop
fell and he was swinging in midair.
He fell about five feet, but his neck
was not broken, and he died of
stramsulation. His struggles were
terrible and lasted for some time, and
in. thirty minutes life was pro-
nounccd extinct and tho body was
cut down.

The pleasant weather has enabled

wheat ever known in this region.

little apprehension at one time was
felt about tho broad cast. In the
cheerful faces of the agricul,urist, all
doubt as to its immense yield is dis
PEELED. The green grass is growing
all around, the smiles of the grazing
herds testify. The fact is, everything

Bank Robbery.

Kansas City is excited over the
robbery and attempted destruction of
the German Union Savings Bank,
familiarly known to tho public as
Vaughan's Diamond. The robbcr
entered the back door by unlocking
it, through the Office of U. S. Col.
lcctor Vocrde, where revenue stamps
amounting to twenty-eight thousand
dollars were destroyed or stolen.
From this room q door opened iuto
the bank.
The robber, after entering the
bank, found tho vault and interior
safe locked, and whoever he was he
knew the combination lock sufficient
ly we'll to effect All entrance through
both doors without the use of vio-
lcnce. Money-said to amount to
about eight thousand dollars-wns
safe and carried away. Gold
amounting to five or six hundred
dollars, and u small amount Of mutt
lated currency, was left undisturbed.
After securing the eight thousand
dollars the robbcr made a pile of
valuable papers, bonds, mortgages,
notes and certificates, and set them
on fire aud closed the safe and vault
doors, leaving just sufficient space
open to admit air SO as not to eXtin-
guish the fire. The bank door was
then closed and q pile of books and
papers fired in the Collectors Office,
after which the thief and inccndiury
left the bank.
The circumstantial evidence points
strongly towards one of the members
or employees of the bank rs the gull
ty party. But until some definite
understanding is arrived at and some
decisive steps taken by the bank au-
thorities to bring the perpetrators of
this crime to justice, it is not deemed
advisable 10 lay before the public all
the suspicious circumstances Which
have been brought TO light.

Science Of Life.
A Very Interesting Work.

We have just received from the
National Publishing Co. ofSt. Louis,
q copy of Prof. o. S. Fowler's great
work Oh Manhood, Womanhood,
and their Mutual INTERPOLATION; Love,
Its Laws, Power, etc. Forty years
experience as a teacher and lecturer
OH science, and a long life devoted
to consultations and advice in con-
pection with subjects concerning
which men and women hesitate to
confiGa-even i'll their physicians
have enabled Professor Fowler to
give to the world the most remarka-
bic and useful volume of the day,
and one which should find its way
into the hanos OF every conscientious
man and woman.
AS its title indicates, it is devoted
to an explanation Of the laws which
govern the sexes in their relations to
each other; the ignorance Of which
causes SO much sorrow AID suffering
in the world. Thousands will thank
the author for his disclosures, and We
predict that the book will mark the
beginning Of a clearer understanding
of the subjects whereof it treats.
Men will be arrested in their needless
course, and made to think Of the
misery they are eitailing upon their
families and themselves through ig-
%norancc.. Wives will find in this
volume a sure and safe road to the
accomplishment of every true wife's
desires. Women who wish to retain
their health and beauty in mature
life, will be taught in this volulac the
secret OF doing so, and will also learn
here the rue e of keeping their
husbands faithful.
There would be fewer fircsidcz
made dcsolate by the loss of a loved
wife; fewer rendered unhappy by n
prcmaturely old, broken and cnter-
bled wife, if the laws of ..Scxual
Science" which are laid down and
explained in this book were better
understood and more generally acted
upon. The best guarantee of its ex-
ccllcncc is the fact that its suggestions
and remedies meet the approval of
every intelligent physician in the
country. 1t exposes quacks and
patent medicines numerically, and
by its common-sense-vicws will save
many Il dollar for those who follows
its instructions, as well as put them
OH the sure road to health. 1t will
show how happiness may be made 10
reign supreme in the domestic circle,
and how it may be brought back to
those from whom it has fed. The
book appeals 10 every class, and to
people of all ages, tastes, and habits,
and we hope it will be read by every
maj and woman in our broad land.
1t is pure and elevated in tone, and
abounds i'll the most useful informa-
ton concerning the sexes. Its low
price brings it within the reach of
all, and the information it contains is
beyond value. Its circulation will
be a benefit TO society.
The book is sold by subscription
only, and the publishers want agents
in every county.

GREENToN CORRESPONDENCE

A gentleman, a protesting Chris
tian, of our community, a short time
ago wanted a sapliug for a certain
purpose; and having none exactly
suitable on his farm and seeing one
OH his neighbours land. called on him
for permission to get it. Well, You
say, what of lit? Why, "much every
way" "Hc that is faithful in that
which is least is faithful also in
much" Which will most honor the
Christian profession, he who is thus
particular or he who presumes that it
will be right and hopes to make sat
isfaction afterwards? If the non
professor takes little liberties, what
shall we say? He just simply stands
at n lower degree OH the scale of
honor. Terdmm sat sdpienti.
OUR GRAVE YARD.
Strangers passing our grave ward
might conclude from the number of
comparatively fresh graves that this
is an unhealthy community. We
will state for the information of those
who do not know the facts, that there
is not n more healthful section of
country i'll the state than GrecntOn
Valley. The most OF these new graves
contain the remains of those who had
attained q good old age, and n major
ity of the remainder are little chill
dren's graves.
THE QUARTERLY MEETING
ofthe NJ. f. Church South, will &C.
III Mt this place, in the Baptist
church, on the fourth Saturday and
Sunday, 2 and Esd, of this month.
Rev. Mr.. Pugh, Presiding Elder, is
expected to be present. lie is a
preacher Of moro than ordinary abili-
ty, and5 We bcspcak for him a
large audience.
CATEcHIsM.
A little boy, attending Sabbath
school, had n lesson assigned to him
in the Catechism, which contained
too many "big" words for his little
intellect. On returning home. he
thus addressed his mama: "This
Catcchism is too hard for me, ma. l
wonder If they haven't got some
kittenchisms."
A SOCIAL GATHERING
of the lively and gay young people of
the Valley occurred at the residence
ofour eX-representative, Hon. c. J..
Miller, a few nights ago. Several
Young ladies eli our ncighbor, Wei
lington and its vicinity, were there
with their happy voices and flashing
wit. OF curse their beaux were
there too. No offence, ladies; of course
we only :mean temporary beaux.
Whether they r real bona fide or
not, is your business. "All went
merry as a marriage bell"
AGRICULTURAL.
The wheat crop generally looks
quite promising. Tebacco-growers
are very busy preparing plant-beds.
Some Of our farmers have been plow-
ing for some time. Indeed, the re-
suscitsting influence of spring mani
tests itself in the general activity Of
the formers, o. well as in the vsgeta-
BILE kingdom.
The excessive taxation, under the
weight Of which our people have
groaned for the last few years, has 80
discouraged them, that it is difficult
for them to enter npon their labors
with their wonted zeal. But since
the stern winter king has changed his
base to a higher latitude. all nature
seems to smile upon US, and invites
all classes to their respective labers.
The star of hope appears above our
mental horizon and lures US Oh to
renewed vigor.
