A Little Girl Outraged and Muir
dered. in N. Il.

The quiet village Of Suncook, y. H., was
thrown into state OF intense excite
nent Monday afternoon, on learning that
"a little daughter of j. 7, Langmaid had
been missing since morning and foul
play was suspected. The little girl left
home in the morning as usual for school,
some distance away; not returning at
noon her parents became alarmed and in
quired at the school house in the after
noon, but were informed the girl had not
made her appearance there during the
day. The news that the child had not
been seen since morning and that foul
play was suspected spread with great
rapidity, and in short time over 100
citizens were securing the woods in all
directions. The search was continued
until s o'clock, when section of the
party found the body of the child in the
woods, about half mile from the road,
in horribly mangled condition. The
head was nearly severed from the body,
appearing as if it had been cut with an
axe. Further examination showed marks
of violence, and the clothing was also
tern in shreds. The remains were i'm
medately conveyed to the parents of the
deceased, who became almost insane on
seeing the mangled body OF th9ir child.
On the way to school the girl passed
through piece of woods, where, it is
suspected some tramp took or entlced
her into the woods, where he ravished
her and murdered her to conceal his
crime.
The case is somewhat similar to that
of the Lowering girl who was murdered
by Evans in Northwood, n H., a few
years ago.
The question as to who committed the
terrible tragedy still remains shrouded in
darkness, no new evidence having yet
been developed which throws any light
upon the heart-rending affair or that will
tend to bring the fiend to justice. The
officers are hard at work, using their ut
most endcavorS to find even single
thread which may lead to the unveiling
Of the mystery which surrounds the
whole affair as to who the perpetrator of
the crime could have been. The theory
that William Drew, now under arrest,
committed the murder Is fast losing
ground among those best informed, both
in Suncook and Pcmbrook. He still re-
mains under arrest, however, and will
probably not be released at present.

Mr. Moody at Rrattleboro.

Mr., Moody preached at Brattleboro
VT, Sunday, but according to the
Springfield Republican he did not
bring entile peace, for he insisted up
on talking to the Orthodox people
rather than to sinners, and so enough
tickets were issued b, the committee
made up from the Congregational,
Baptist, and Methodist societies to
I'll! the Town Hall principally with
church people. 1t was the evange-
lists own notion and not altogether
satisfactory, even to the favored ONES.
Perhaps he did it because 500 copies
Of the Rev. Mr. Sunderlands anti
orthodox sermon had been sent up
from Northfi I'D prior to the meeting
and generally distributed in the town.
But at 0 o'clock he found the room
overhowlng with curious audience !;
and in the sermons that followed Mr..
Moody was not, perhaps, in his most
enthusiastic mood, an unusual ner-
vousness being perceptible in his
manner. He was heard with very
great attention, however.
A mixed choir of about 100 voices
opened the meeting by singing" Work
for the Night is Coming followed by
a prayer from the Rev. Mr.. Burchard
of the Baptist Church. Mr.. Moody
read q part of the sixth chapter Of
Isaiah, adding that a man who is 60
ing to work for God must have clean
hands and lips; and also portions of
the twenty-fifth chapter Of Matthew.
A song by Miss Spraguc perfaced the
sermon. The chapter teaches that
every child of God has something to
do. God don't want us to work on
borrowed capital as many are doing
today in business. If every church
would wake up this beautiful morning
and say, l have something to do, how
the work would 60 on 1t isn't more
good preachers that we want it's the
church aroused, Some sing, some
preach, some distribute tracts. We
must individually do cur work. II
We do something every one, don't you
see how mich can be accomplished in
365 days? Somebody will hear my
voice for Christ. Not mother here
but would mourn were her child dumo
There are three qualifications that a
child of God has got to hayo-en-
thusiasm, love, sympathy. Let corn
20 up, and see how the farmer will
open his eyes with enthusiasm. Why
not get enthusiasm in this work?

Cable SOundings in the Pacific.

The United States Steamer Tuscarora
will sail from San Francisco about No
vember l, for four months cruise, to
make soundings for cable route among
the islands of the Pacific he direc-
tions to Commander j. N. Miller are:
You will proceed from Oahu toward
the Phoenix Islands, about 1, 700 nauti-
cal miles, making soundings at the
usual distances apart, and wherever the
bottom requires it such additional
soundings as may be necessary. You
will then make such examinations of
the Phoenix Islands and those adjacent
as may seem advantageous for landing
marine cable. Thence you will proceed
to Bironna, Western Feejees, or some 9th
or convenient island of that group, about
LOO nautical miles, sounding as before.
You will take up the line of soundings
from the Western Feejees to Brisbane,
about 1900 miles, passing as close to
the southeast end of New Caledonia as
may be proper; thence proceed to Sgd
ney. From Sydney you will proceed
toward North Cape, New Zealand, max
ing such soundings as you may think
advantageous en- route, and from that
point toward the Feejee Islands, max
ing soundings, with view of laying a
telegraphic cable between those points.
1t is expected that the Tuscarora will
he absent about TOUR months.

The Great California Grape Vine.

The great Santa Barbara (Cal. grape
vine is on it's way to Philadelphia fol-
exhibition at the Centennial of 1876.
1t had failed rapidly for some years
and almost ceased to bear. Before it
began to droop it's foliage covered an
area of over 10000 square feet, or a
quarter of an acre. It produced an
nually six ton of grapes, worth at the
lowest rate paid by the wine-makers
$120. The trunk or body of this vine
was 81 feet In circumference. Eight
feet from the ground it branched into
twenty large limbs. One of these lirnba
is 81 inches in circumference, and is
consequently as large as the body of
Queen Victoria's vine at Hampton
Court, England, which is the largest
and most celebrated vine in Europe.
So the trunk Of our mammouth vine is
nearly three times as large as the largest
vine in the Old World. It has been
carefully cut into pieces and packed
in boxes five feet wide and eight feet
Hong. There are seven of these great
boxes. When they reach their destina-
ton, the trunk will be unpacked and
set up, and then the limbs and branches
attached to it in regular order, and the
skeleton of the vine reproduced. It is
reported that this mammonth grapevine
was cut off by a Spanish lady and used
all day as riding whip. She stuck it
into the ground at night, saying to her
lover, Make that grow if you can. +"
TO show his love he tended and watered
the cutting until it became the largest
vine in the world.

4 Voice from the Deep.
From the N. Y. Herald.


The currents of the ocean often cast
up on the shores of various countries
bottles or other receptacles containing
messages purporting to have been writ
ten by persons on board sinking ships
1t is often difficultto determine whether
such messages are genuine or spurious.
Recently bottle was picked up on the
Filey sands of Yorkshire, England, in
which was found lock of hair and the
following note in pencil, written on a
small piece Of paper and addressed
Miss M. J. Brown, Fifth av-
enue, New York." 6 Dearest Mary
The ship is sinking fast; the boats
washed away; 500 miles from land. V.
G. D." The Board of Trade has con-
sidered the matter of sufficient import
ance to send over the note and lock of
hair for the purpose of being delivered,
if possible, to Miss Mary J. Brown,
Fifth avenue. But as the note omits
the number of her address in Fifth
avenue, and as the name of Brown is
certainly not rare, it is not ease to carry
out this instruction. But if this. shall
happen TO catch the eye of the person
to whom the note is addressed, she will
learn that the interesting relic and note
are at the British Consulate Generals,
in this city. ~ 4
