A Terrible Revelation.

We have already given some details of
the tragedy near Anderson, Ind, in which
Mrs. Mawson murdered her son Albert, and
threw his body in the well, subsequently
committing suicide. By the following it
will be seen that the Mawsons were anoth-
er Bender family:
Fer many years the Mawson family have
been a terror to the neighborhood in which
they resided. Mrs. Mawson is believed to
have murdered two children by her first
husband and then to have made way with
their father. A dark suspicion hung over
her at the time, but no clue could be gained
sufficient to warrant her arrest. Eight
years ago q man by the name Of Hoppas
was killed only few feet from the we'll
into which Albert Mawson was thrown,
and by his side was a sassafras club with
which he was struck.
A man by the name Of White was found
guilty Of the murder and hanged, although
he maintained his innocence to the last.
Three years ago, when Mrs. Mawson's g
second husband died, it is said, he confessed
that he murdered Heppas, and that White
was innocent 1t is believed that Mawson
himself was poisoned by his wife. In the
evening he was as well and strong as usual,
but the next morning he found it conve.
nient to die before any of the neighbors
were up.
Last spring Mrs. Mawson's eldest daugh-
ter gave birth to an illegitimate child and
killed it by choking it to death. She left
FOR parts unknown. About two months ago
the skeleton of man was found at the bot
tom Of what was formerly pond of water
on the Mawson farm, and was identified as
that Of an old bachelor hermit who lived in
the vicinity, but who disappeared very sud
denly about year ago.
He was known to have considerable
amount Of money in his house, but after
his sudden exit none was found. Just be-
fore Mrs. Mawson committed suicide she
told a visitor that if they would search her
farm some other important disclosures
would be made. tits thought she referred
to other murders, aud her farm is to be
thoroughly searched and the ground
probed.

A Momnn,s RemnrknbIe Escnpe.


On Saturday week an itinerant peddler
entered the house of Jas. Tolin, living near
Minot's Landing, Md and proceeded to
display his wares TO Mrs. Tolin, despite her
assertions that she did not wish tObuy any
thing. Mr.. Tolin was confined to his bed,
and had been so confined for many years,
being 80 crippled with rheumatism that it
had been long impossible for him to leave
his bed unless carried from it. After show
ing his goods, and Mrs. Tolin not buying
anything, the peddler commenced a con-
yersation, in the course of which he learn
ed the helpless condition of Mr. Tolin.-
Finally he made an insulting proposal to
Mrs. Tolin, and she Indignantly ordered
him to leave the house. Instead, he ap-
preached her and seized hold of her, say
ing, with an oath, that she was in his pow
er, as her husband was as good as dead
Mrs Tolin, being delicate woman, ran
screaming into another room. The ped
dler followed her, and before she could
escape by the door, caught her again. A
desperate struggle ensued between them,
and Mrs. Tolin was thrown violently to the
floor by the powerful villain. Mr.. Tolin
had been all the time witness of the
struggle, lying powerless in his bed. At
the sound of his wife falling on the floor,
however, and her frantic shrieks for aid, he
seemed to be endowed with supernatural
power. Under the influence of that power
he sprang from the bed he had been unable
to leave for years. Seizing heavy crutch
that stood near the bed, he rushed into the
room where the struggle was going on.-
Mrs. Tolin had succeeded in regaining her
feet, but the peddler had grasped her
around the waist and was endeavoring
again to throw her. AS Mr.. Tolin entered
the room, the singular spectacle Of bed
ridden cripple Fastening to the defence of
his wife seemed to paralyze the scoundrel,
and he stood staring as if in trance at the
approach of the husband.
Mr.. Tolin, nerved with unnatural
strength, brought the crutch down over the
head of peddler and fclled him like an OK to
the floor. The next instant the excitement
and superhuman effort that supported the
husband left him. With a shrek that told
of the intense agony of the relapse he clasp
ed his hand to his forehead and dropped to
the floor and almost instantly expired.
Mrs. Tolin succeeded in getting the body
of her husband back into bed, and then
started for assistance. She was obliged to
go over mile before she was able to OBJ
tain any. When she returned with several
neighbors the peddler was gone. He had
recovered consciousness and fled, leaving his
pack in the house.

The Caucuses Tonight.

The Republican ward caucuses to select
delegates to the County Convention, takes
place at the respective ward rooms at u
O'Clock this evening. There are indications
that these me etings will be well attended, as
they should be on all occasions. The ques-
ton that the ordinary voter should consider,
is, which of The two gentlemen named in
conn ectlon with the state senatorship will
best represent the many interests of Portland
at Augusta next winter. All other matters,
SO far as the senatorship is concerned, are
subordinate to this, or should be.
Let every Republican make it a point to
attend the caucus in his ward and express his
preference by fair ballot, and that done,
alb ide by the result.

sour Mutual Friend"
Gea. Pratt al Old Orchard.

Gen. Daniel Pratt, the gentleman whose
name has been so prominently associated with
the candidacy for the presidency, arrived at
Old Orchard, Friday evening, and took rooms
at the Old Orchard House. Gen. Pratt, it will
be remembered, is not partner in the great
firm of Woodruff s. Robinson of New York.
though his business to Old Orchard combined
business and pleasure. He announces him
self as the centennial candidate for president,
and is canvassing the country in advocacy of
the" chronometer' system of government
His personal appearance does not differ ma
terially from that of other members of the hui
man race. He has two hands and two feet
with the usual assortment of fingers and toesa
the average number of eyes and ears, and but
one nose. His raven hair grows low upon the
forehead, and he was attired in o seedy suit of
clothes and shocking bad hat.
Saturday morning, through the politeness of
mutual friend, we had the pleasure OF an in
terview with Gen. Pratt whose manner was
very courteous, and who answered our ques-
ton politely if not always so definitely as we
could have desired.

on the subject, and am prepared to be sur
prised if any one goes out ce his way to i'm
pugn my motives
Q-Do you think Mr.. W. P. Whitehouse is
the author of that letter?
A.-Either Mr.. Whitehouse wrote that letter
or he did not write it. Why not, or if not,
wherefore?
Q.-Is there anything else you would be
| willing to say, Gen. Pratt?
Al should like to say that if the author of
of that letter is the person whose name has

enough in it. He hasn't superabundance- of
moral force. and it is limited that be once de-

SUNDAY.
Yesterday there was an immense crowd in
attendance AT 10 o'clock in the morning not
team could be found at any livery stable in
Portland, and every horse in SAeo and Bidde-
ford was pointed toward Old Orchard. About
the camp ground the carriages covered acres,
and extended in long lines to the seaside
hotels and far beyond. The avenues were
crowded, and upon every knoll and under every
tree there were groups OF people, The beach
was fairly black with forms. There must have
been at least L, 600 people on the grounds. The
hotels were packed at meal time. and the
crowd covered the land like swarm of locusts,
devouring everything within their reach.
AT s o'clock in the morning love feast was
held, at which great good was wrought, and
many people gathered together to worship God
and invoke the Holy Spirit. Ia the morning
and afternoon Rev. Mr.. Inskip and Rev. DR..

Travellers Testilmo ny.

Thousands of travellers by land and sea have
vouched for the efficacy of Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers as preventive of the physical disturbances
which ordinarily arise from change of climate and
the changes of dict, water, &C.. incident to wan
dering life. Upon systems toned, invigorated and
regulated Ky this genial vegetable antidote the ex
terna causes of debility and disease seem to produce
little or effect. Forearmed with Hostetters Bit
tiers. the voyager may bid defiance to sea sickness
and encounter the chilling fogs of the British Isles
the coast winds of the Antilles, the icy temperature
of northern Alaska the burning heat of the trop-
les, with equal impunity. The effect of this admira
BILE medicated stimulant is greatly to increase the
vital energy of the SYSTEM thereby enabling it to
SYST and repel the exciting causes of disease.

Mr.. FRANCIS d. MoULToN, of recent and

aroused in him by the structures on his con-
duct which have appeared in the PRESS.

FORTUNATELY for the country the con-
stituents of Gen. Garfield of Ohio, have had
the good sense to renominate him for re-elec-
ton. Mr.. Garfield received one hundred
votes to thirty-seven blanks. His majority in
1872 was over ten thousand, SO that his NOM
ination is nearly equivalent to an election.
