Kentucky and Illinois, visiting his rela-
tives in the former state and final
coming around 10 NATION. Not finding
their goods there they came back to Clover
dale to see what had become of them, and
during their visit there stopped with Mr..
HOUSE THE MURDER OCCURRED.
When he shot his wife she was sitting in a
chair with their child sleeping in her arms,
and death was so sudden that she
did not move, but sat upright
in her chair with the blood trick
ling over her face, and the babe still sleeping
in her arms. She did not fall, but sat bolt
upright in her chair, until taken from it by
her friends and laid upon a bed. Martin
has been a drinking man all his life, but
since the death Of
HIS FIRST WIFE
has been drinking to excess. he has
always borne the reputation of q rake aud
soon tires of any one person.
He has a brother in Missouri and
another in Kentucky; besides these he has
a mother and several sisters living on
the old home farm in Ken
lucky. While his character was very
bad, hor's was good. She was always
known as an affectionate wife and mother,
and every one spoke well of her. The ex-
element in the town of Cloverdale
and the city of Greencastle was very great
and it was feared that he would be lynched
by the indignant people. The coroners
jury after hearing all the evidence yestre-
day morning rendering the following ver-
dict: That the deceased, Nancy A. Martin,
came to her death. by murder in the first
degree, by a shot from a pistol
in the hands of George n. Martini"
The place where the murder was committed
is about I'VE miles east of Cloverdale, which
place is about two miles south OF Greencas-
tie. b corpse of the murdered woman
will be inferred to-day.

they are apparently quite unaware.-New
York Letter.
Matilda Fletcher's work during the past
year, according to the Fort Dodge Messen-
ger, has been enormous. She has lectured
100 nights, travelled 1000 miles, written a
book upon practical Ethics" for schools
and families, arranging it by an easy,
original and unique method, and has in
vented to illustrate il a beautiful chart,
presenting the faculties INC virtues in such
a harmonious and truthful light that a child
can comprehend and remember with ease
their mutual relations and meanings. She
has also prepared three new lectures, two of
which-"The Heart of a Man." and what
Can You Dor" were given to the public last
winter, and met with great pop
ulsrity. The other one, significantly
STYLED seThe Ethics of Marriage" will be
presented fer the first time the coming sea-
son. Besides this work she has devised a
plan establishing industrial expositions in
the public schools, which the lower house OF
the legislature, acting Upon her suggestions,
last winter enacted into a law. She has
spent her leisure hours during the year In
practical inventions, having invented a car
rage with four entirely new features, a
trunk combining four distinct articles of
furniture. etc. Her life has been a busy one,
and its result is one of great credit. Let
others OF her sex take inspiration, and above
all let the world give full credit to the work
and success of this one earnest woman.

A CHILD

The Rome Ga.) Commercial has the fol-
lowing strange instance of a juvenile crime:
The most diabolical act in the criminal
records of this county was perpetrated day
before yesterday, on Maj. Wooley's planta-
ton, about a mile west of Kingston. A
negro girl, Cass Arp, II years of age, stole
some potatoes. No one save herself was
cognizant OF the theft but a little negro
boy, aged two years, a son of Tom Wooley.
This boy told on the girl. The girl
afterward strayed off with tie little boy,
and shortly returned alone. The child
being missed for some time. there was some
uneasiness concerning its whereabouts and
search was made, but nowhere could it be
found. Suspicious were Weakened that the
child had been fOully dealt with. Capt.
Ben Roper discovered some tracks on the
river bank The tracks indicated that two
children had gone down to the river, and but
one ofthem, the larger, had returned. On COM
girl, Cass Arp,the two tracks were indentical.
The girl was arrested, and after ward con-
fessed to having thrown the child into the
Etowah, where it was drowned. She showed
where she stood when throwing the child
into the river, and where, when in the act,
she slipped and came very near falling in
herself. She said that the child floated down
the river some distance, crying put several
times before it finally sunk. The girl was
sent to Gainesville, where she is now con-
fined in prison. We understand that sew
eral of her relatives are now in Jail for COM
hitting various crimes, stealing, burning
g~in-houses, etc.

WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANG.
IFrOm Bret Harte's new Volume of Poems.

From Bret Harte's new Volume of Poems.l
over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew:
the Woman stopped as the babe she tossed
And thought of t. O0e she had long since lost,
And said, as her tear-drops back she forced,
II hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night-wind sang
And chanted a melody nc o ne knew;
And the Children said, as hey closer drew,
=" lis some witch that is cleaving the black
night through
It's a fairy trumpet that just then blew,
And We fear the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night-wind sang,
And chanted a melody no one kney;
And the Man, as he sat on his hearth below.
Said to himself, at Will surely snow,
And fuel is dear, and wages low,
And Ill stop the leak in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night-wind sang,
And chanted a melody no one knew:
But the Poet listened and smiled, for he
Was Man, and Woman, and Child, all three,
And he said, SIT is Gods own harmony.
This wind that sings in the chimney"

THE OLD HOME.
BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.
From scribner's for December.l

From Scribners for Decemoer.l
An outdoor quiet held the earth,
Beneath he winter moon
The cricket chirped In cosy mirth,.
And the kettle croonsd, upon theh hearth,
A sweet, old-fashiCned tune
The old clock licked. a drowsy race,
With the clicking of the cricket,
And red Goals in he chimney place
Peeped put with many a rosy face,
Like berries in a thicket.
The cranes arm empty, stuck out stiff,
Ano tinware on the shelves
TwinkIed and winked at every ghn,
In the pickering nre-light, as II
They whispered 10 themselves.
The good dame, in her rufied cap,
COUNTED her stitches slowly,
And the old man, with many a cape,
Read from the Big BOOK on his lap,
The good words, wise and holy.
The old clock clicked the old man read,
His deep voice pausing, lowering,
The good wife nodded dropped her head
The lids OF both were heavy as lead
They were sound asleep and snoring.
Oh, hale old couplei sweet each dream,
While-an the milk pans fitting
Puss paints her whiskers in the cream
TIL John and the belared ;eam
Bring Maggie from the quilting.
Hay Time, / pray, when failing years
Make hin my voice and hrapple,
Find my last days OF life like theirs.
As sweet with child ems love and prayers,
And ike a winter apple.

The last Joy

The last morn
What bright eyes will see that?
The last man

The last boon
