Fatal Termination Of an Old Grudgc
An Lawrence COunty-A Man Mortal
Iy Wounded in a Magistrates once.
Special 10 the Union and American.
PULASKI, April 24.-Roger Green was
shot and fatally wounded by Samuel
Weaver at LawreDceburg last Wednesday
morning. Weaver went into Justice
Nicholson's office, where Green was, and
told him in a rough manner that he had no
business there. Green went out aud was
followed by Weaver, who said, sYou are
the man that burned widows house at
Eagle factory" ''You are id liar" re-
torted Green. The next instant, Weaver
drew revolver and Green caught him by
the arm, saying, ''don t shoot don't shoot
I'm not prepared" Weaver then fired, the
ball entering Green's abdomen and lodging
near the backbone.
The murderer was arrested and offered
to give bail, whichwas refused. He is now
in Jail. Green died at half past o'clock
last evening. There had been an old
grudge between the parties.
On account of the excitement caused by
the bloody deed and the rumor that
Weayer's friends will attempt to liberate
him, the Jail is strongly guarded.
Weaver is forty-five years old and is
man of family, having several grown chill
dren. He had been keeping saloon in
Lawreneeburg, but was out Of business at
the lime of the murder.
Green was about twenty-five years old,
stood well, and was in good circumstances.
He owns farm near Eagle Factory, on
Shoal creek. The house belonging to the
widow woman was burned at the plaza
abave mentioned some time ago, aud it was
generally understood to have caught fire
accidentally.
Justice Nicholson, at whose Office the
murder was committed, is a brother of
Judge A. @. p. Nicholson.
Weaver is said TO be defaulteras ex-tax-
collector, and it is not supposed that he
could give bond even IL the ofiense was
bailable. 0

Let every patient have separate swab

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says it was re-
ported in official circles in the evening
after the veto was sent to the Senate,
that the argument which finally de-
cided the President not to sign the bill,
was that if executed it wculd immedi-
ately withdraw 50 large an amount of
reserves from New York as to cause a
serious and widespread panic. Not
withstanding Grants snubbing Of their
committee, the moneykings triumphed.
He could not disregard their wishes,
even though the act should shiver his
party.

Diptheria-A Sure Cure for this Ter
rfbIe Disorder.

The following remedy for diptheria, which
was published in the st. Louis Democrat
several years ago, has been tried by a gen
tleman Of this city in his own family and
in other families, and it has never failed to
effect cure. It was communicated to the
Democrat by physician of Iowa:
Please publish the following treatment of
diptheria. 1t has been used by myself and
others to whom have given it, in over one
thousand cases, without failure 1t will
always cure If the treatment is commenced
before the diptheria membrane extends in
TO the tubes, which is known by the great
difficulty of breathing and restlessness.
In such cases no remedy yet discovered
will always effect cure; but if the patient
is watched, and this treatment used in
time there is no danger.
| sent this treatment to a friend Of mine
in Wisconsin, and he used it on himself,
and family, and neighbOrs with such Won
derful success that he requested me to send
it to you for publication, as this horrible
disease is prevailing extensively in parts OF
Missouri.
