MINERAL PARK, A. t.,
November 9Th 1875.
Dear Frank:
l thought 1 would drop you a
few lines to-day as I have some
news that I think will do for the
SENTINEL. The facts are as fol-
lows:
About two months since, man
by the name of Decay, came into
town and got out warrant for the
arrest of his wifes who he said had
run away from him at Pahranaget
Valley, State of Nevada, taking
with her all the children, six in
number. She, in company with
two men that she travelled with,
was arrested at Chloride, a camp
four miles from here. Old Decay
tried to prosecute the men she
was with, for kidnapping, but in
that he failed, and they were
turned loose. The woman said
the reason she left her husband
was from abuse that she could not
put up with any longer. When
he wanted her to return home,
she refused to do so, saying she
would not live with him any
more, where there was nobody to
keep him from abusing her. It
seems they lived on a ranch a loug
ways from any neighbor. Well,
be finally concluded to stop here,
as she would not go with him,
but she made him sign an agree
ment to the effect that he would
not attempt to exercise any ma
trimonial rights, or in any way
expect her to treat him in such
manner as a wife should treat her
husband.
He was to stick to this for six
months, and at the expiration of
that time, if he had proved by his
! actions that he had turned over
new leaf, and would quit drink
ing, she would live with him
again and be all to him that wife
should be. But il seems that De-
cay got tired waiting, and wanted
the old woman to make it up, but
she would not do it; So, on the
night of the 5th of this month,
he got out of the bed where he
was sleeping, took his six.shooter,
went to the bed where his wife
was sleeping and blew her brains
out. He then tried to kill him
self, by shooting himself in the
side, but only succeeded in max
ing a slight wound, thus illustrat-
ing the old saying, that ''a man
who was born to be hung will
never be drowned" He is now
safe under guard, and as court
comes on this week, he will get
his trial right away.
The same night that the above
murder took place, one of the
MOrmous who was engaged in the
Mountain Meadow Massacre, Bis
hop Smith. they call him, came
to town, and while walking down
the street, somebody hit him on
the back of the neck with club
and knocked him down. He
didn't come to for three hours.
Times, outside of the excitement
caused by the woman murder, are
very tight aud dull as ever.
tell you Frank, l never want
| to witness the same thing again
as the sight 1 b9held on going in
to the house where the woman
had been murdered. There she
Law on the floor, where the cold
Hooded wretch had pulled her off

Misunderstanding.

tEWho is he that will strike hands with
me ?'' asks Job. GA man void of under
standing strikes hands, and becOmeth sure
ty in the presence of his friends" saith
the wise King of Israel. In this old-world
custom of striking hands, Misunderstanding,
no doubt, originated, for, before it became
a friendly greeting, a shake of the hand
was accepted as pledge. When Ferdinand
and Miranda strike their tender bargain,
he says, 'EHere is my hand,' and she re-
plies, ''And mine with my heart on it. -
Dunbar, Lord Treasure of Scotland, con-
graduating YelvertOn upon having made
his peace at Court, said to him, 81 will de-
sire your friendship as you do mine, and
l will promise to do you my best; where
upon as pledge l give you my hand ~
And so, shaking YelvertOn by the hand,
he bade him farewell. Nowadays a shake
of the hand may mean very much, or no.
thing at all. The strong, hearty grip for
grip of two old, long-parted friends, meet
ing unexpectedly, is one thing; the nerve
less, loose, Indifferent clasp of acquain-
tanceship another. Sydney Smith at
tempted to classify hand-shakes, dividing
them into the high official, the sepulchera1
the digitory, the sha1us rusticus, and the
retentive. The first was practiced by the
then Archbishop of York, FEwhO kept his
body erect, carried your hand alOft to a
level with his chin, and gave it a rapid
short shake" Sir John Macintosh af-
fected the sepulcheral, '1aying his open
hand fiat on your palm, so coldly, you
were hardly aware of its contiguity.' -
The digitory-in favor with the high
clergy-was adopted by Brougham, who
used to put forth his forefinger with,
GLOW are you? ?'' The shakus rusticus was
having your hand seized as in an iron
grasp, betokening rude health, a warm
heart, and distance from the metropolis
but producing a sense of relief when you1
hand is released with the fingers unbrok-

Nose Bleed.

There are two little arteries which sup
ply the whole face with blood, one on each
side; these branch off from the main arte-
ries on each side of the wind pipe, and
running upward toward the eyes, pass
over the outside of the iawbone, about
twO-thirds of the way back from the chin
to the angle of the jaw, under the ear
Each Ofvthese arteries, of course, supplies
just one half of the face, the nose being
the dividing line, the left nostril is sup
piled with blood by the left artery and the
right nostril by the right artery. Now
supposing your nose bleeds by the right
nostril: with the end of the fore finger
feel along the outer edge of the right jaw
until you feel the beating of the artery
directly under your finger, the same as
the pulse in your wrist, then press the fin
ger hard upon it, thus getting the little
artery in a tight place between your finger
and the jawbone; the result will be that
not drop of blood goes into that side of
your face while the pressure continues; !;
hence the nose instantly stops bleeding for
want OF blood to flow; continue the pres
sure Ior i've or ten minutes, and the ruD-
tured vessels in the nose will by this time
prOOaDly contract so that when you let
the blood into them they will not Leak
Bleeding from cut or wound anywhere
about the face may be stopped in the same
way. The Greater probably placed these
arteries as they are that they might he
controlled. Those in the back of the head
arms and legs are all arranged verv con-
veniently for being controlled III like
manner.

Reefpes for the Household.

GRAHAM PUFFs.-TO one pint of Graham
flour add one pint of milk and one egg
Stir in flour slowly, until it becomes a
smooth mot thick batter. Use no soda
nor yeast. Bake Immediately.
Brown BREAD.-Two cups of corn meal, a]
two cups of rye or Graham hour2 IMo

n,,,1s NOT 0iIite half full. Put in the oven
/ S.Iiper voi1 sit down to dinner, and they
will be ready for dessert. Serve with cream
and sugar or maple syrup.
EcoNoMICAL PUDDING. = Keep all piec-
es of bread and dry them nicely. When
enough are collected, soak them in milk
over night; in the morning drain all the
milk possible, through a cullender. Add
to the bread some sugar and salt, and scald-
ed rasins. Tie in bag and boil five or
six hours. Serve with sauce of butter
and sugar.
To STUFF HAM.-Parboil and place the
| ham on tray; make incisions all over it
with a sharp knife, some two or three
inches deep, and stuff these with dress
| ing made of crackers, cooked to a brown

nothing else can restore them after they
have been washed.
CHICKEN PIE.-Cut the chicken in small

Blue Laws.

The doctrine that parents were justified
IN putting bad son to death was incorpor-
ated into the code known as the Blue Laws
OF Connecticut. One of those laws was as
follows: eff any man have a stubbOrne
and rebelliOus some of sufficient yeares
and understanding, viz. sixtenne yeares
of age, which will not obey the voice of
his father or the voice of his mother, and
that when they chasteneth him will not
hearken unto them; then may his father
and mother, being his natural parents,
lay hold of him and bring him to the mag
1strates assembled in Courte, and testiffe
unto them that theire some is stubborne
and rebellious, and will not obey THERE
voice, but lives in sundry riotous
crime, such some shall be put to DEATH .
This shocking provision of law is a part
OF the old Mosaic code, and this statute of
connecticut was copied, almost word for
HMnoIrd, from four verses-the 18th, 10Th,
zOth ana 2lst-of the 2lst chapter of Deut-
erOnomy.

"A poor woman living near Hartford

fire burning along the side of railroad
track, and went to Investigate the matter.
She found stranger near the blaze, who

Not crediting the story, she visited the
spot next morning, and, to her astonish-

Centennial Specimen.

The great California tree specimen for
the Centennial arrived at Omaha a few
days ago. The tree grew on the West
slope of the Sierra Nevada, $500 feet above
sea level, 45 miles from Visalia, the near
est railroad station. The height was 276
feet; diameter at the ground, 26 feet; 10
feet above the ground, 20 feet; 100 feet
above the ground, where the first limb
came out, the tree was IA feet in diameter A.;
200 feet above the ground, diameter feet.
Bark, foot thick. Estimated lumber,
375, 900 feet; cubic feet, 81 900. Equal to
16 miles average fence, post, rails and all
This lumber alone would weigh about
2,232 ,000pounds. Two picked axmen fell
ed this tree in 10 days hard chopping-
The log is carefully followed out into a
mere cylinder of bark with half a foot of
wooded added. Then it is cut into cross
sections, of which several constitute the
show. 1t is an individual enterprise, in
tended to pay by exhibition in different
cities. It will soon be in St. Louis, and
doubtless in Chicago, before long.

A Wild Boy.

A correspondent of the Greenup (Ky.)
Independent, from Floyd county, says: "a
boy, eight years old, who, eight months
ago was driven away from the sheltering
roof of his parents by their cruelty, was
lately discovered by a chestnut hunter.
The boy had been considered drowned
during the floods, and was nearly for
gotten. He has now been restored to his
family, who, we trust, will treat him more
kindly. During these eight months, while
living in the woods without seeing hu-
man being, he nOurished himself with
birch, sap, sang wild corn and grapes,
and was in fair way to turn completely
wild when found.''
