MURDER IN CHESTER COUNTY. =
Some few days ago middle aged col
ored man named John Cole, came to
Painters Bridge, on the Wilmington Il
Reading Railroad and stopped with
several men of his color, employees in
Mr. Mitchell Painters brick yard, with
whom he took quarters for the night
and on the following morning was
found lying near the brick yard, with u
severe cash cut in his head. He was
taken to the tenant house Of Mr.. Jos.
Miller near by, where all care was
given him, but to no avail-death re
sulting Friday morning. The cash
looks as if it had been inflicted with an
axe or Ratchet. Since the deed was
committed two of the brick yard en-
plOyces have suddenly disappeared.

THE HEROINE OF THE CONVENT,
Miss Bertha Gerolt was of a Catholic
family. although her father represent
ell Protestant Kingdom. She was of
refined nature, mrch sweetness and
sensitility, and probably felt for her
iather. who was growing old, was quite
poor, and. in the movement of Count
Bismarck against the Catholic Church,
stood in danger of losing his Legation.
About that time there lived with Baron
t;erolt, as attache. Il young man be-
longing to one of the noblest and old
est Protestant hOuSes-peOple as proud
OF their religious consistency as of their
rank. He grew enainored of our Miss
Gerolt, and the alliance would have
been proper and accep able in every
way but for the matter of religion.
The attaches mother in Prussia re-
PEELED the idea of the Catholic connec-
| ton. while the ecclesiaSticS in America,
seeing an apparent opportunity to do
some proselytizing around the Prus-
sian Court. operated upon Miss Gcrolt' :
| mind. Ailcr the parents on both sides
were tolcrably agreed, the religious
| issue was kept up, and the question OF
children had to be settled in advance,
until the young mans patience was
worn out and he broke the engage
ment. The Church, which had been
successful i'm the matter, was. of
course, entitled to the bride; and about
this time some controversy arose be-
| tween our Government and the State
authorities at Bertln. which ended in
the recall of the old Minister. the only
one, although a Catholic, to adhere
with enthusiasm to- the cause of the
Federal Government during the dark
days of the rebellion.
Bertha Gerolt d:sappeare |, as have
others before her, and within the same
alls, a daughter of he Emperor Itur-
bide and Il daughter of Gen. Scott. \
few weeks ago the daughter of Admir-
al Sands took the white veil in this
convent; her father is a native of
Maryland and superintendent Of the

4 ROMANCE.
Love Blighteu Ends In a Convent
Indianapolis News.


Bertha Gerolt daughter of the late
PruSSian Minister To the United States.
who entered the Monastery of the Ni>i-
tation, in the District of Columbia,
about three years ago, took the final
vows on Saturday, February :, 1874,
and will hereafter be seen no more in
the midst of that unconscious history
performing wi. hin her daily hearing.
Many Years ago, one sister Gertrude
or Miss Ann &. Wight, a beautiful
Girl of an old Maryland family. was
sent to this convent school while her
family were visiting Europe; and,
when they returned, she was pledged
to the Church. There she showed such
zeal that she was talked of for Lady
SUPERIOR; but for some cause never
known, she covered herself with IA
Monks cloak one night, and escaped
into the city. refusing all applications
to return, and she again became bril-
liant influence in official things, and
demonstrated her cleverness by going
to the City of Mexico in pursuit of IA
legacy left her by Schoolmate. the
daughter of the Emperor lturbide,
and recovering it. Miss Wight never
married, and, little while prior to the
rebellion, she died in the family

All young men and most young women

ditiOn in life to which all look forward and
hope TO attain ut some future period, and if
the young man has any prudence he will not
assume the responsibilities of married life
until he can make some provision for the sup
port of those dependent upon him, should he
be called away by an early death. In the great
majority Of cases this provision can be secured
by means of life insurance policy that will
cost but small sum annually, and yet pro-
vide all the security that can be desired. One

Designing and Constructing Horse
Stables.

EVERY structure which is designed and
erected for only one or for many horses,
should be constructed with reference TO
convenience, to comfort and durability.
The width of the stable in which there is
to be a row of stalls, should never be less
than twice the length of the horse, which
is from fourteen TO sixteen feet. There
should be ample room behind those
horses that are standing in the stalls 10
harness span of horses as they stand
side by side. In stormy weather 1t Is de-
sirable TO harness and unharness in the
stable; and such narrow, contracted
stables as are often made, where one
horse can scarcely pass behind another
are unfit to be called stables. The door
should be of sufficient width-not less
than six feet six inches wide--to allow a
span of horses to 20 in and out without
crowding. The height should never be
less than seven or eight feet. When a
horse throws up his head the beams and
ioists should be entirely beyond his reach,
There should always be feeding room
i'm front of the stalls. When the building
is wide enough for two rows of stalls, the
feeding room should be between them.
Many stables have no feedingrOOm, and
one is always obliged to go to the managers
when feeding the horses in the stalls,
which is decidedly Objectionable Stables
should be warm in winter and cool in
summer. To secure this important desid-
eratum, it is always desirable to have the
stable in the basement of the barn when
ii is practicable Where the ground de.
scends but little, by making suitable
abutment for entering the barn twill cost
but small amount to carry up the abut-
meut sufficient for a high basement

ophthalmy. Horses need light as well as
people; and we cannot expect that a horse
will have perfect vision il he is kept most
of the time in a dark stable. The idea
that dark stables are advantageous by way
of inducing FESTIVE horses to be more
quiet, or by inducing bad feeders to eat,
savors too much of humbuggery and
superstition. There should always be a
goodly number of windows in a stable
some behind, some before and some at the
sides of the horse. The sash of every
window should be closely fitted in the
frames and be made to slide up and down
or to slide right and left, or be hung on
hinges, 50 that they may be readily open
ed in warm weather or closed when it is
cold. Dark windows, with a batten door
or shutter, are exceedingly Objectionable
because when there is any air in motion
they produce perceptible current in the
stable If they are open, and if closed they
give no light. Let "A man be placed in a
dark room, with little or no light, for a
few weeks in succession, and wait the re-
suit Light is as essential to the sound
ness of the eye and to perfect vision as
pure air is essential to health of the body.
Why do we always close our eyes when
in bed in dark room, although we may
not be asleep? Because it pains them to
keep them open when no light enters
them, and it is probable that this constant
pain would soon produce weakness and
inflammation. If stables are already built
and a desirable number of windows was
not introduced when the building was
erected it will not be a difficult and ex-
pensiye job to saw through the siding and
studs or to make apertures through brick
or stone walls and insert window frames.
When horses stand facing the outer wall
we have frequently seen round holes saw
ed through the siding in front of each
horse, 80 that the animals could thrust
their noses into the openings and breathe
the pure air. Light Will also enter such
apertures.-N Y. Herald.
