c115sion arose between ,grown;np son and No.

Of : Young Granger who had kept the young

vol;ng lady getting somewhat worsted IN the dis
ecnssiou, and at tie same time losing her tenn

mcnt by playfuIly emptyiug her cup Of tea down

tea from the stove, turned the entire contents

tea penetrating both eyes aud erysipelas setting

good chance OF losing one Of her eyes, and .s rs
SSlready lost the greater portion Of beautiful

OF Queen, instead Of, as now, . rather
painful and stiff rendering Of tho
part which we are glad to have
o;er,- In the matter Of dress, Miss Dickinson
has shown great skill in carrying out historic
fact. But only one of these costumes Is strictly
beautiful or becoming. and that is the one ID
which she makes her first appearance of
the cream brocaie and ruby velvet. That OF +hs
second act IS superb as to material, but ugly a
to fashioning, the short tunic in front being alb

scenic effect, however; Of color was wonderful
from beginning to end.
II Miss Dickinson had taken counsel with
other than herself, both in this costuming and
the construction Of her play, abe would have
been the gamer, as we'll IS the public; but she
did not do so, and with all its and her faults VIC
must accord her more praise than blame, and
prophecy Of greater things to come. But tho
greatest point at present is fuller development
Of voice. That accomplished, Miss Dickinson, I
believe, has it in her power to surprise even her
most unfavorable Of critics. And that she will at
least strive for this accomplishment there Is not

The McCarty Assassination.

A correspondent Of the Shclbina fNIo.)
Democrat gives the following particulars
OF the assassination of Patrick Nee Carly,
son j. c. sicCarty. of Keyser. w. Va.
CLARENCE, Oct. 10, 1876.
'Onc of the most terrible assassina.
tons that ever cursed any community.
was perpctratcd here on Saturday night,
ABOUT 7. NJ, upon the person of Pat
rick McCarty. He was seated in his
family room, in the midst of his family,
and in close proximity to window,
with the curtain raised, and while i'm the
act OF putting his little child out of his
lap was shot by an unknown party from
the outside, and through tue window
with shot gun, sending an enormous
charge OF turkey shot into his right arm
and side, just below the shoulder, telling
him to the foor.
The loud report Of the gun, and the
screams of his terrified family, brought
immediate assistance, when it was an.
parent that his wounds were mortal, and
that he could live but short time. He
died III about twenty minutes-the vic.
tim OF cold blooded, deliberate assas-
sin, whom God knows and can locate,
for there is doubt in the mind Of many
that the fiend lives in this community.
One would not suppose that the victim
or any one else in this community had
ever given sufficient provocation for the
most blood-thirsty iiend to wreak such
revenge; but the fact OF the weapon
being shotgun, would Indicate that
the assassin lived hereabouts; vet the
TACT that any one here meditatiny such
crime, and knowing McCarty's habits,
and being aware of O thousand better
opportunities of killing him than shoot.
ing him III the midst of his children.
would point to stranger, and one from
n distance, as the murderer. And in
further support of this theory, it was
generally known that Mrs. McCarty had
been confined but week since, and
was close TO her husband, and was seen
by his murderer, and surely if living
here, he would have deferred the net aud
not have jeopardzed the life Of his in.
nocent wife, as is the case, for she is
worry low in consequence.
1t Is needless 10 say that this awful
occurrence has sent thrill Of horror
through the whole community, an al.
though the murderer is unknown, there
is an Unsuitable desire IN the heart of
every man to spot him and bring him to
speedy justice. A reward will be offer.
Ell by the community, sufficient to put
skilled detectives upon his track, whom
we believe will hunt his bloody tracks
even to tho gallows. Mr.. McCarty was
buried at 6, 2. NJ, yesterday. The in.
quest is still in session, and it is to be
hoped will at least locate n suspicion.
but as yet, we have heard ofnone. ""

HOME LIFE 100 YEARS AGo.-One
hundred years ago not a pound of coal,
or cubic feet Of illuminating gas had
been burned in the country. No iron
stoves were used, and contrivances for
economizing heat were employed, until
DR.. Franklin invented the iron frame
fireplace which still bears his name
All the cooking and warming in town
and country were done by the aid Of fire
kindled upon the brick hearth or oven.
Pine knots or tallow candles furnished
the light for the long winter nights, and
sanded floors supplied the places ofrugs
and carpets. The water used for house
hold purposes was drawn from tho deep
wells by the cranking sweep" No
form Of pump was used in this coun-
try, as far as we can learn, until after
the commencement Of the present cen.
tury. There were no friction matches
in those days, by the aid OF which fire
could be speedily kindled; and if the
fire went out" upon the hearth over
night, and the timber was damp so that
the spark would not catch, the altcrna.
tive remained Of wadine through the
snow a mile or so, to borrow n brand of
n ncighbor. Only one room in any
house was warm, unless some Of the "a.
mily was iii in all the rest the tempe.

than that of our modern barns and
wooded sheds. & they never complained.

was asked to attend Mr.. Scott. At DIR.

scrioed for intermittent fever, having

being told that it had nearly healed
