An Atro:ious Wife Murder

TERRE HAUrE, Ind, Nov. 3o.-At
Cloverdale, Putnum county, Ind, Sun
day, Thomas Martin became offended
at something said by his wife, and gave
her three minutes to retract At the
end of that time he shot her with Il
pistol, the bali taking effect in her head
and killing her instantly,
The poor woman had her babe in
her arms when shot, and tell with it
clasped to her breast. A man named
Stanton was in the house and interftr
red TO save the woman, when Martin
shot him in the shoulder; probably ia
tally. Martin had been trying to get
rid Of his wife, and had offered her
five hundred dollars to consent to a
divorce, as he wished to marry another
woman.
It'll not believed that he made any
charge of infidelity against her After
the shooting he assumed the insane
dodge. There is a great excitem' n

probability that the murderer will bt

WONDERS OF PoMpEn. writer

that were already opened, and rs soon
as the plaster had hardened, the crust
of lava was carefully removed and l.
the form Of a human being in his death
struggle perfectly preserved. Buried
in the lava that hardened about him
his body had crunbled to dust and
left this wonderful mold. Several
bodies have thus been reproduced, one
of them with the features perfectly
preserved, so that there is still some ex

The question Of protection of farmers
who are engaged in sheep culture is
exciting some interest in this county. A
large majority Of the people, we have
reason to believe, are in favor of grant
ing the needed protection. Were
every male citizen Of the county taxed
one dollar for the purpose of creating a
fund for the payment of losses occasion
ed by dogs, the county would be
benefited by the tax. Those opposed
to the dog tax urge that a farmer
should protect his flock against dogs
All of them do, to greater or less ex
tent, yet those focks must carefully
guarded are sometimes exposed to dam
ger. Many who have lost several focks
are not willing to run TIE risk. The
eulture of sheep will bring more money
into the county than does the entire
wheat crop. II would give US large
supply of wool which would either be
sold at good figures or used by our
home factories. The culture Of sheep
would encourage the establishment of
. number of factories at home, and a
large proportion Of the goods used in
she county would be manufactured here
thus giving employment to an in
creased number of inhabitants and
contributing to the general prosperity
of the entire county. The advantages
resulting from law of this kind are no
longer questioned.
Frederick and Clark counties have a
dog law which imposes tax of seven
ty five cents upon each dog and pro
yides for the payment of losses suffer.
ed by sheep owners. The law is good
and the adoption Of a similar law for this
county will meet the approval of the
enterprising farmers. Let the people
who are in favor of this law prepare
petitions to the Legislature, asking for
dog law which will protect the raisers
of sheep, and let them be circulated
generally through the county and pre-.
scented to The Legislature now in SEES,
sion. A demand coming from the
farmers Of this county will not be re
fused by the Legislature. The sub
ject should receive immediate attention.

Upon she present body will devolve
the duty of devising system fer the
Improvement of roads. The present
system is better than the ole one, as is
fully demonstrated in some counties
and in some parts of this county. We
hope however, the Legislature will
give us system which will secure
better roads than we now have
Money expended in making good
roads is q good investment. Other
questions OF Importance will probably
come before this body. Among the

The report of the Commissioners OF
Internal Revenue shows that the total
productions of manufactured tobacco
during the last year was $ll9,5 ,6Is.
The collection of tax on Tobacco was
$32,248,845. Would it not be as fair
TO tax the productions of New England
looms and manufactures as to place
upon the productions of the Virginia
farms this enormous tax. The policy
however has heretofore been to tax the
whole country to support New England
products, while Southern products are
taxed to support the government The
tax collected upon Virginia tobacco
would be sufficient to pay the entire
expenses of the State, including her
public debt. May we not hope that
the day of discrimination in favor OF
certain sections will soon be passed,
and a government bearing equally up

LEGAL FARES IN THE Wrsr.-The
great bug bear with the Western rail
roads nowadays is ''legal fare" Pas
sengers have been in the habit of get
ting aboard trains and paying legal
fare. TO prevent this the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad devised
a means of forcing passengers to pay
full fare 1t was to make them show
tickets before getting aboard. At Bur
lington, the other day, a passenger
bought ticket and took his seat. He
then passed it ont of the window to a
friend, who also took his seat, repeating
the operation until the car was filed
up. When the conductor came round
there was hut one ticket, and legal
fares enough to keep the Supreme
Court in continuous session after session
for a century.

AN EXAMPLE FOR OFFICIALS. There
is no question that the last democratic
President, the much abused James
Buchanan, afforded q tiue example for
all officials, high and low, in this good
republican country of ours, in one most
important respect. A contemporary,
who knows, says of him:
ale was scrupulously careful to take
no gifts. He drew nothing from the
treasury but his salary. His horses
and carriages were not furnished by
private benefaetors, or procured at the
expense of the government, but were
paid for out Of his own pocket. He
would not even accept pass upon a
railroad, and if a hotel keeper had
offered TO give him gratuitous en-
tertainment he would have thought
himself insulted. He went once, aud
only once upon a brief pleasure ex-
cursion upon public vessel, the Harriet
Lane, when she was set out on her
trial trip; but the expenses of his party
were ascertained and carefully paid for
by himself,

able citizen of Fluvanna:
A gentleman ia Louisa county, one
night last week, hearing noise about
his corn house, wentout with double
barrelled shot gun, and seeing what he
supposed to be man, fired, killing
him instantly. Upon closer examina
ton he discovered that the man he shot
at was sitting on lever which had
been inserted in crack. and the house
bodily lifted up, while two others were
in the cracks getting out the corr. A
still closer examination revealed the
horrifying fact that as the first man
fell from the lever the house had closed
down upon the unfortunate wretches
MASKING the life out of them! Thus
the three meh all lost their lives in All
