Gil Bias tells us they almost invariably died. good
many people are killed that way yet. The world in
general however, has found out that in cases of de-
bility and premature decay, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the true fesustaining cordial This tonic
is a powerful and perfectly harmless restorative
But it does more than nvigorate. 1t regulates and
purfes. While it builds up the strength and infuses
vitality into the blood it brings all the secleons in
to harmony with the laws of health The feebler sex
find it invaluable in the various physical difficulties
to which their organization renders them subject.
In all hysercal and hypochondrcal cases its effect is

tite preserved and tirmness and elasticity given to
the system.

CRIMES.
A Singular Murder,

TROY, Nov. pa horrible story is current
here of a singular and barbarous murder. Re-
Gently a carpenter named Elias Williams, be-
the midst of a forest in wild district, about
sixteen miles north of Wellstown, Hamilton
county. He hired George Smith to assist him
in the work: One day, after they had. drank
many times from jug of liquor, the two men
involved in deadly fight. Williams in the
course of the fight threw Smith over wooden
saw horse, and with hand-saw, which he all
the time held in his hand, sawed off the head
of his antagonist, severing it entirely from the
body.
His rage cooling, remorse came, AMI he cut
the great vein of his own throat with the saw,
falling corpse besides the remains of Smith
A lad named Grant witnessed the tragedy, and
conveyed the news two miles to people who re-
side nearest the scene Of the crime. Williams
was married man, and Smith single man.
Both were buried Sunday last.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE
FRosTBURG, MD. DEC. 3D., 1877.

FRosTBURG, Mp. DEC. 81, 1874
Last night as | CROPPED my way in dark
ness through deep, thick, sticky mud |
finally reached the corner of Mechanic and
Water streets. On an opposite corner |
heard voices and the splattcr of mud and
water, when, suddenly, slush, splash, went
something, succeeded by a feminine cry for
help. ! rushed to tie rescue, through the
gulf of mire and mud with difficulty and
nearly brcathless from exhaustion, | reached
the spot, finding lady stuck in The mud
fast as a wedge. Fatiguod, my hat gone,
had sufficient presence of mind left for three
or four of my best pulls. Luckily, the fair
one came forth, and bore her toward the
distant dry land only to be stuck in another
gulf, this time to be rescued by two double
musclcd teliows-one taking the lady, the
other, me, minus my shoes. An the lady,
if | only knew her name or honeywell
that's all-for the city fathers the best con-
ciusion of this story may be found in a walk
out Water street some dark night
MUD STUCK.
