A Child Murderess.

The most diabolical act in the crimi-
nal records of this county was per-
petrated day before yesterday on Mai.
Wooley's plantation, about q mile west
of Kingston. A negro girl, Cass Arp,
twelve years of age, stole some pota-
toes. No one save herself was cognizant
of the theft but little negro boy, aged
two years, son of Tom Wooley. This
boy told ON the girl. The girl after
ward strayed off with the little boy, and
shortly returned alone. The child being
missed for some time, there was some
uneasiness concerning it's whereabouts,
and search was made, but nowhere
could it be found Suspicious were
awakened that the child had been fouIly
dealt with. Capt. Ben Roper discover
ed some tracks on the river bank. The
tracks indicated that two children had
gone down to the river, and but one of
them, the larger, had returned. On
comparing the larger track with one
made by the girl, Cass Arp, the two
tracks were identical. The girl was ar
rested, and afterward confessed to
having thrown the child into the Eto-
wah, where it was drowned.

Shall q Man Pay Reward,fOr His Own
Arrest.

A very singular lawsuit has arisen in
our adjoining county, Logan. The cir
cumstances connected witn the case are
these: Mr.. Marcus Hermann, an La.
raelite and merchant at Auburn, had
his store broken open last Christmas
and "a, 500 in money taken theretrom.
Upon an examination of the premises
it seemed that the outside door through
which the thieves are presumed to have
entered the store was broken open from
the inside. This and other circumstun-
ces gave rise to the suspicion that Her
mann had robbed himself for the pur-
pose of exciting the sympathy and in
dulgence of his creditors. The day
after the robbery MIR: Hermann gave a
paper to the Constable of the Auburn
district. which read as follows
We, Marcus Hermann and W. W. Price.
hereby bind and obligate ourselves to paw
81, 500 for the arrest Of the perssn or persons
ho 0z S@ the tSoss sb 81 Na1Sns os sba
December, 1875 about @4, 500 or We win paw
$3.50 for the arrest OF the thief without ths
restoration OF the money.
MARCUS HERMANN,
W. W. PRICE.
Mr.. J. s. Stanley, the Constable of
the district, took the foregoing bond.
and, the same day, he and young man
named Gabe Lewis arrested Hermann
himself, charging him with having COM
mitted the robbery in question They
took the prisoner to Mr.. Price, the Sc
curity ON the bond, and demanded of
him the reward bat, of course, Price
refused to pay it. Last summer STAN
ley and Lewis brought suit on the bond,
against Hermann and Price, alleging
that they had complied with the terms
upon which the reward had been of
fered that Hermann himself was the
robber, and that they had arrested him,
etc., whereupon they demanded the
81 300. The suit was brought by Cald-
vol Bowder, of Russel1ville, at the
last term of the Logan Circuit Court,
just adjourned. The case was con-
timed to the next term of the court,
when it will be tried upon its merits
before a jury. If the plaintiffs can
prove that Hermann did commit the
robbery, they will, of course, get a
Judgment for the reward claimed. Mr..
Hermann has also brought suit against
Stanley andA Lewis, claiming $40, 900
damages, and another suit for malicious
prosecution, in which also O claim is
set up for $40. 600 damages. All these
cases will be tried at the next term of
the Logan Circuit Court, and will elicit
widespread interest in Logan county,
and especially among the people of
Auburn. They will constitute one of
the most remarkable chapters in the
history of litigation in, the Green River
country.-Bot0li'ag Green (Ky.) Demo

Harmless Nettles.

It has been ascertained by accident
that, Immediately after q strong wind,
nettles are comparatively harmless,
Some French 1aborers, having occasion
to work in field infested with this
noxious weed, on q day succeeding Q
wind-st0rm, found that they could ham
die the nett1e with impunity. Their
sting had lost its virulence. M. Nau-
din, in explaining the occurrence, states
that strong wind stimulates the ex-
halation of the poison in the stings
of the nettle, and after time the entire
store secreted by the plant will be COM
p letely exhausted. Such was the case
In the instance recorded. The truth of
the statement is supported by the fact
that, eight days after the gale. the net
ties had refilled their sacks of poison,
and were as vicious as ever.

Surgical Freezing.

The successful employment of an an
aesthetic which prevents pain without
destroying consciousness, is matter of
interest and Importance to medical
people everywhere. DIR. w. B. Rich
ardson, in the London Lancet, de-
scribes two operations of this kind, by
him performed, for removal of cancer
ous tumors of the breast. both patients
being ladies. A spray of common ether
was directed upon the tumor until
thoroughly chilled. The lighter fluid,
q compound of ether with hydride eff
amyl, specific gravity .72O, was then
applied until the whole of the breast was
frozen like SNOWFALL. Instead of
with q scalpeJ. the incisions and remov-
al were effected by means of small,
strong, sharp and curved scissors. The
operations were successful, the healing
speedy, without discharge or trouble Of
any kind.

death, which he straightway did.
Up to this time, the genius of Ivan
seems to have been cautiously feeling
its way, and so the part of his history
already sketched may be regarded as a
mere preliminary to his real career.
His extraordinary capacity for ruling
an empire on the principles taught him
by the Prince Gluisky was now
about to show itself In all It's greatness.
A criminal Of Novgorod, feeling himself
aGRrieYed by the authorities of that
city. who had incarcerated him for q
time, wrote 8 letter Offering to place the
city under Polish protection. This
letter he signed, notwith his own name,
but with that Of the Archbishop, and
instead of sending it 10 the King Of
Poland, to whom il was addressed, he
secreted il in the church of st. Sophia.
Then going to Alexandrovsky, he told
Tya.a that treason was contemplated by
the Nevgorodians, and that the treason
able letter would be found behind the
statue of the Virgin in the church.
ivan sent messenger to find the let
ter. and upon his return the Gear began
his march upon the doomed city. Hap
peniup to pass through the town Of
Khur on his way 10 Novorod, he put all
its inhabitsnts to death, with the pur-
pose, doubtless, of training his troops
in the art of wholesale massacre, before
requiring them to practice it upon the
people Of Ncvgorod. Finding this
system of drill an agreeable pastime, he
repeated it upon his arrival at the city
of Twer, and then, IN order that the
other towns along this route might
have no reason 20 complain of par
tiaIity, he bestowed upon all of them
q like manifestation Of his. imperial re-
gard.

Sunday several railroad boys were
asleep up stairs in the house. One of
them, Conductor Bray, awoke in time
to escape in his night clothes, with
burned feet; while another, Harry FIRE.
denic, an engineer on the Humboldt
Division, was stupefied by the smoke,
aud all efforts to arouse him by shout
ing and calling from the outside prov
ing unavailing, Conductor Hopkins en-
tered the room and dragged the engi-
neer, whom he found lying on the floor
senseless, to the window, from which
he was carried to the ground in safety.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an Incendiary, as three unsuc-
cessfrl attempts to burn the building
had been made within the last two or
three weeks.
