Aessrs. Eaisors.-Plcase take my ad-
vcrtisemeut out Of your paper. I've sold
one to Capt. Palmer, and believe that is
all l shall sell.
l aud my eleven certifers made jury.
and yet the Planters wouldn't believe the
jury. much less the truth. established
by the mouth oftwo or three witnesses" It
seems so queer to me. There are no three
out Of the twelve concurring IN their evil
dence. who would not have convicted a
man Of capital crime or larceny; or have
justified a jury in giving . verdict for
81 900 or $40. 900 as the case might be.
and yet they (the Planicrs) would no.
believe twelve meH for their own good. BY
the labor-saviug and producing effects Of
my Hitler. / can't but admit that have
little trace Of the pleasure Of spite.
feel confident that I shall sell them, aud
then can calculate my loss BY 50 cts.
interest per annum. While their loss will
be hundreds, perhaps thousands per an
pun. Respectfully.

A WOMAN CUTS THE THROATS
OF HER TWO DAUGHTERS,
AND THEN HER OWN,

Lexington. Ky, March 2O). Dispatch 10 the
Louisville Courici-Journal.
A fearful tragedy was enacted in Scott
county to-day. Mrs. Elizabeth Sconoc,
who resides four miles from Georgetown,
on the Frankfort Pike, cut the threats OF
her two little girls and then cut her own.
She had been troubled with Mysteries for
week past, and was under medical trea,-
ment. This morning her husband and
his father, who slept in the same room
with her aud her two children, go. up and
went out, leaving tho rest Of tho family
in bed. soon after ward, two grown
daughters, sleeping In the adjoining room
were awakened by the noise, and found
their mother leaning over tho bedside,
and asked her what she wanted. She said
nothing, and returned to the shed-room
where she slept. Immediately one of the
children was heard to scream, and the
girls, rushing into tho room, found the
two children, Lula, aged 2, and Willie
Kate, aged ., with their throats cut. Their
screams brought Mr.. Sconco to the house.
and when he arrived Mrs. Sconce had cut
her own threat and was spcechloss, nj
though she made the effort to speak to him.
Drs. Adams and Wren were summoned
as soon rs possible; but Mrs. Sconce had
severed both jugusr veins, and. despite
their efforts to save her, she died The
youngest child 10 in critical condition.
The next one, Willie Kate, is considered
out of danger although severely cut about
the face and hands. The cutting was done
with razor procured out of q box in the
passage way between tho two rooms. Mrs
Sconce is daughter of james Williams
of Bourbon county, has been married
twenty.one years, and is the mother Of
five children. She was u pious, industrious,
practical woman, and lived happily with
her family and neighbors. Two of her
sisters died when about the same age of
heart disease; and this joined to her hys-
terra, filed her with gloomy forebodings Of
a similar tate, and no doubt caused the
temporary sberration Of mind, during
which the deed was done. She dressed
herself neatly and completely before COM
hitting the fearful act. Sho was about 40
years Of age, and her husband 80. Tn.
family was much respected in the noigh.
borhood.
