DIED In Usage City, Kansas, Aug.
8th, 1S76 Terrence Swim, aged Is
years.
Torrance had been clerking in the
store for Mr.. Hanslip and boarding in
the family. On Sabbath evening he
went to look after the COWS, and when
in the alley near the stable shot him
self in the head with a pistol. He was
conscious at intervals until Monday
noon. Being asked by Mr.. Hanslip
how it happened, he said, he had the
pistol in his hip pocket, and as he
drew it quickly with an upward motion
he drew back the hammer with his
thumb, but let it slip, and it discharg-
ed. His mother, Mrs. o. Barnett, of
Americas was sent for, and she arriv-
ed here on Tudsday, only in time to
see him in a state of Inconsistencies
for few hours. The body was con-
veyed to Americas on Wednesday for
interment. Torrance was a member
of the Sabbath school and was con-
slant in attendance, and was at church
and Sabbath School on the day of the
accident. He was a faVOrite among
his companions respected and beloved.
May the fond mother and affection
ate brothers and sisters be sustained
in their sad bereavement, and the COM
panions of the deceased receive lessons
of admOnltion and Profit.
Death rides on every breeze,
And turks in every flower.
Each season has its own disease,
Its peril every hour.

A SKELETON RETURN.

New ORLEANS, Dec. l5,-To-day a
new discovery of important evidence was
made. Although the original papers are
kept carefully guarded from sight, yet
chance. this morning. afforded an opportunity
to examine the official record of the count,
as filed with the secretary of state. 1t was
found to be made out upon the usual tabu-
lated form, with the names of the parishes
and polls down the left hand column. and
the names OF the Tilden and Hayes electors
at the top, and headed statement OF
votes cast for electors for president and
vice president 10 the state of Louisiana,
November I, 1876 Upon this paper
not a figure appears but the totals at the
bottoms of the columns. No return OF
either parish or poll is given 10 detail; nor
does it present the slightest indication OF
the method in which the totals were
arrived at.
This discovery has inspired the. COM
mittee with disgust. The omissioa OF the
detailed vote upon the official list filed is
believed to have been forced upon the re
turning board by their action in counting
in various judges and members of the
legislature throughout the state, and which
set arithmetic at default in verifying the
| result.
