SHOCKING SUICIDE.

to seek Relief in Death-She Throws
Herself Before a Railway Train at
Ainsworth.
It is probably that the continued
abuse inflicted by her brutal husband
caused Mrs Elizabeth Guntz to com
NIT suicided at Ainsworth, Ill. Tuesday
morning, by throwing herself before
train of cars of the Lake Shore & Mich
igan Southern Railroad. The circum-
stances of her tragic death are as fol-
lows:
On Monday evening, Mrs. Guntz and
her daughter attended a house warm
ing in Ainsworth. When they returned
home at II o'clock they were greeted
Frank Guntz, the husband and father.
GGntz being intoxicated, the abuse
did not end until his wife had been
almost choked to death, and the side
of her head cut by brutal blow from
club. At half-past o'clock, one of the
little girls relates that her mother, faint
and exhausted from the treatment she
had received, said she was going out,
and would not return that night. 70
prevent her from leaving, Guntz went
down stairs after Ratchet to nail the
door up. During his absence, Mrs.
Guntz put on her shawl and bonnet,
| and, kissing her three children, went
out. Guntz was much enraged when
| he found she had gone, aud laid the
Ratchet under his pillow, either to kill
his wife when she returned or to Sc
curely fasten the door He soon lay
down, and, falling into drunk
en- stupor, the children about
II o'clock, started out to find
their mother. At the Ainsworth sta
don they were told that woman had
been run over few minutes before.
They went in the direction in which
the body lay, aud, when they had
reached it, the youngest child, girl
of IA years, recognizing the features
Of her mother in the dim morning
light, threw herself on the body, and
burst into loud cries The three chill
dren waited by the body of their moth
er until it was removed into the station
house.
1t appears that Mrs. Guntz was
run over BIZ the incoming express
train on the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern Railroad, about half.
past two in the morning. The engl
neer of the train says that, as the
engine neared the Ainsworth station
he saw woman standing on the
track. When the engine wa
within short distance o
her, she apparently threw
herself in front of the train, and befor,
+ the engine could be stopped the from
, wheels had passed over her, killing he
. instantly. 1t was the opinion of tb'
Coroner's jury that she stumbled il
, attempting to cross the track hastily
and they rendered a verdict of death b,
accident. But the circumstances seen
] rather to indicate a suicide.
Mr.. Guntz was 81 years of age, an,
leaves three children, the oldest O
r whom is boy of II, and the younges
! u girl of IA.

The Two kings...An AllegOry.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

When mighty Jove had fashioned human kind,
And named the earth to be their DIV cling
place,
$50 in an Eastern apologize we tind,)
He sent two ministers to rule the race
He gave command to Pleasure and to Pam,
(Of heavenly, one, and one of helllsh biIth,)
'henceiorth, my mnions, be it yours to reign
As sovereign lords DER all the sons OF earth"
And soon it was agreed between the twain,
separate dominion would be best:
The vicious only should be ruled by Pain,
And Pleasure be the master Of the rest.
A proper plan enough it seemed, at first;
But soon they found, despite each outward
That-save, indeed, between the best and
worst
None less than Jove could fairly draw the
line.
They found-to make discrimination nice
To classify the race detied their skill /;
The virtuous ali had more or less OF vice
The vicious showed some sparks of virtue
still.
The generous man was flashed WI worldly
lust -
The devotee was full of sal tly pride
The cnaste was covetous and none so just
But they had still some little sin to hide.
And, looking sharply at the darker part,
Not one among them all was wholly bad;
Here was Il sot who had "a generous heart,
| And here thief who saved drowning lad
Virtue and Vice how easily they trace
| The larger forms of each but 10 assign
| Their just proportion IN special case
| Who but the gods could safely draw the line:
| And so it was agreed Qest strife betall
| From such contuson) each III turn, should
| reign:
| Pleasure should have dominion over all
Aud all, at times, should feel the rule o
Pam.
And still, as erst, they rule the human race
Pleasure and Pain-ln short, alternate sway
And whichsoe'er may show his regal face,
We know his fellow is not far away

Important Railway CONTRACT.

Some months ago, Messrs George l..
Dunlap and Perry HI. Smith went to
Europe, to seek, as every one supposed,
repose from the arduous and long con-
tlnued labors. 1t now transpires that
they have organized a corporation call
ed 1.-The Chicago Contracting Com
pany, and, under that name,
made a contract with the Canada
Pacific Railway company for the
construction of that road. An
English money corporation, call
eel the London syndicate, has
agreed to advance them 5000, 900 on
the contract. The Common Council of
Quebec has approved the arrangement,
and on Saturday evening voted 81, 0O0,
900 III aid of the great enterprise. The
work of building the road from Quebec
to Montreal will commence at once.

From our Travelling Correspondent
This place, always lively, seems just now
in high spirits from its improved railroad
prospects since the letting of the work on
the Valley road toward Salem.
was this morning shown small bundle
OF rye. the longest | ever saw, being
trife over eight feet in length; it was
raised on farm near Waynesboro', In this
county. and is specimen Of a large field.
On the stage route, between here and
Stribling Springs, there is this season an
unusually fine crop OF oats--both as TO
the Weld, and the amount Of acreage.
The early ride this morning was q very
comfortable one, over the mountains and
hills, just as the sun was sending
his earliest rays over their tops,
sparkling in the dews. Early as It
was. we saw several farmers out cutting
their oats. In the valley of Middle (Shen-
andoah) river is to be seen some Of the
tallest corn in the state, and some OF the
richest clover.
The apple orchards rarely present more
fruitful burden, than now; but peaches
are scarce and poor. Some of the farms
are worn and exhausted but the huge
masses-the very mountains of limestone
all over this region furnishes a sure and
cheap resource for restoring the fertility O.
these lands. Lime has the double excel.
lence of being good both to pillow under
and to spread broadcast on meadows and
winter grain. Besides great benefit is de
rived from putting lime around the roots
of fruit trees, aud also by spreading it OF
the leaves.
Brosius, the driver Of our stage, is ONT
of the most careful and accommodating
that we have met. He has spent mor'
than twenty years on the box in this re
gion, and am glad to pay him deserved
credit. He is very mercliul to his horses
which am glad to mention for the benefi
of some who need admonition on Thu
