After SO years OF practical experience with
horses, in staging, tearning, &c, have learn
ed that more horses have been crippled by
inattcl ton to the feet than all other diseases
.omblned. After man experiments have
found ne true remedy to PREVENT the dis,
ease the hoof, or restore it after negligence,
TO W al nature intended 1t should be-ths
great support of the noble animal. II the hoof is
fniamed and diseased, the animal is comparal
lively worthless. This Liniment will surely
prevent this worst OF all diseases, Contraction,
Corns, Quarter, Cracks, Contraction OF the
Back Sinew generally called Knee Sprung,
&C, and restore those that have been crippled
by tho want OF such a remedy.

applied, viz:

or II necessary, at the heel and frog, and
around the hOOf close to the HAIR.

Court, which will be about 1870 DAYS,

then add, say $22 for coal; then if he

will be the further sum of $146; and
then add the $40, and we have the
grand total of $21G, taken from the
tax payers of this county, for one bas.
ket of coal, worth probably 25 cents;
then again, if this negro is what he is
represented in the papers, he was an
object for the observers of the poor
to attend to, and thereby save, the
stealing, and its train of over $2UO;
and in the same paper, see another
case where negro threw piece of
peachwood at the train, and that, /
suppose will cost the tax payers $21G
more. Cannot something be done at
the next Legislature to save the tax

Crazy Husband kissing the Wife he had

From the Tuscaloosa (Aid) Tines.
Our city was greatly startled the other
morning by the report that Il. Y. Fitch had
Killed his wife at the residence Of Mrs. c. A.
German. In this city, by cutting her throat. Mr.
Fitch for month or more had shown signs of
propricty of having him sent to an insane hos
pital. On the morning of the tragedy he arose
about seven o'clock, and while III the act Of
shaving renal ked to his wife have a good
notion to cut your throat" She made some
careless response, and her husband then walked
To the bed where their little daughter
and only child was sleeping, kissed
the babe tcnderly, and then returning
TO where his wife was standing at her dressing
case, engaged In completing her morning toilet
he said II love you too much TO hurt hair OF
your head, Helen" and then putting his left
arm around ner neck, he MADE two terrible
Rashes across her throat with his razor, which
caused almost instant death. A little girl about
twelve years OF age was In the room, but ran
out when she discovered the husband In the act
OF perpettating the terrible deed. The crazed
man, when he saw his wife weltering In n pool
kissing the dead woman, called upon her to get
up. He soon, however. become unsconscOus
OF the awful act he had committed. and has
since remained In n sort Of stupid condition.
Mrs. Fitch. formerly Miss Helen Whiting, was
raised IN Tuscaloosa, and was a niece OF the
,a,e Dr. Drisn, aud young lady OF much beauty
and cultivation.
MIR. Fitch is a native OF New Haven, Conn, Ia
about thirty years Of age, sand his father Is a
gentleman OF distinction and wealth, and IL now
treasurer OF Yale College.
Since writing the above, we learn that Mr.
Fitch attempted to commit suicide IN Jail 10y

glass used was too dull to sever the carotid
artery.
