SINCE the article on the nth page
was in type, we have received further
particulars of the horrible murder
which occurred in Cherry Grove town
ship on the afternoon of the 18th inst.
It seems that Milton Wilson, the per-
petrator of the deed was native Of
Brokenstraw, Penn. and was born in
1929. He had been previously married
and lived in eastern Wisconsin,, and,
after three children were born to them,
his first wife left him because of cruel
treatment. In 1862 he married Cor
nelia Lloyd, in Manchester, Wis.,, and
moving to Cherry Grove some two years
after has resided there ever since. His
late wife had borne him seven children,
the youngest being about twenty months
old. He is described as large man,
very overbearing, quarrelsome and cruel,
but his wife is said to have been an ex-
cellent woman. They have lived un-
happily together for several years, and,
only few days before the murder,
Wilson beat his wife so severely as to
cause miscarriage, and she was still
suffering from that injury when the
fiend cut her throat. Her wounds be-
trayed that the act was committed de-.
liberately and that his purpose was to
put her to death 3; but when he came to
operate upon his own neck the coward
ly brute had not sufficient nerve to in
dict even a decidedly dangerous wound.
He was brought to this city on Satur-
day and placed in the county Jail. He
is said to be very reticent about the
matter Of the crime, but willing enough
to talk upon other subjects, and we are
told that he claims that he will tell all
about the murder, and the motive that
prompted it when he is put on trial,
and denies that the guesses and sugges.
tions which have been made public are
true. The community at Cherry Grove
was greatly excited by the crime, and
only the doctors assertion that Wilson
wounds would necessarily prove fatal
saved the wretch from death by lynch
ing.
i SHORT CRoPs.-We have heard from
all quarters discouragiug accounts abou
the wheat crop but judging from tn
number of Mccormick Harvesters tha
farmers are buying and hauling home
we would expect more than an ave,
age crop. We visited the Reaper var
of Mr.. Brooks, the other day, an
J found him and his men setting up an
loading machines upon wagons at
lively rate.

FILTHY NEGROES.

The Alexandria Guzette says that the
crowds Of filthy negroes. who. driven out Of
the Court house of Washington. their for
mer resort. by Justice Carter. now infest
the gallery Of the House Of Representative
so infect the air Of the House that the door
keepers have been instructed to keep the
doors closed until the opening Of the ses-
siOns. Tuesday, as the day was cold and
disagreeable large numbers Of diiiy greasy
looking follows went early to take their ac-
customoi comfortable snoozing places. but
finding the doors locked. scratched their
heads aud went away. A democratic mem
Der. With view to abate the nuisance, has
suggested that adniittance to the gallery
be only obtained upon tickets. but the radi-
Gals objected. Hardly any white people
now sit in the gallery, and the negro spec
tators make the air so foul that it is really
poisonous, and the sickness and mortality
amoung the members who have to take it
into their lungs are becoming alarming.
Mr. Hoar, Of Massachusetts,. remarked the
other day that though but few years ago
he was the junior member Of bis delegation
he was now the senior, all the others having
died.

without thinking Of it, that nothing would
fully impress us with sense ol it's meals
culable importance, but lis loss.
Imagine for moment, that newspapers
were no more, that those winged messengers
that greet Us every morning, freighted with
interesting importance, news from every
point IL the compass ut home, and the
great eastern hemisphere abroad, did not
exist II would be an awful blank. To
learn the occurrences of the times, only by
occasional reports, and ut long intervals,
would surely be sad priyation. The tele.
graph even. would be of little or no use to
the community at large. without newspaper
in which to publishits reports. The blush
ing bride would have no morning medium
in which to contemplate the record OF the
solemnizaton Of her blissful nuptials the
night before. The merchant. would for q
time, remain in ignorance Of the fresh i'm
por:ation of goods suited 10, his line, tho

HOW OLD PETER BENNETT WON
HIS CASE.

II Alexander H. Stephens should be at
home and his mind not absorbed by pub
lie affairs, the visitors will find In him one
Of the best and most prolific anecdotists of
the day.
One story--nlas, that he cannot sit in
type TO tell it!--is the Peter Benton speech.
A DIR. n, ystor, doubtless a most excellent
man, has sued Mr. Bennett,a farmer, FOR
his bill. ga5 .H
"fiittle Aicck ,na Alexander isminified
by his friends, told his client, Peter u;
that the case Of service and IFS value were
proved against him III legal form and
there was no real defense. but The old
farmer ,sisted that his lawyer should
.'speak TO Tie case." Mr.. Stephens told
him that he ought 70 speak himselfifhe
thougllta speech could be made, and was
surprised by the retort: \ will II Bobby
Toolnbs won't be too hard on me- Mr..
Toombs promised, and Peter Bennett be-
gan: af
rGentlemen ofthe jury ain't no laws
yer andno doctor, andyou amt nuthcr.
And If we farmers don't stick together,
these here lawyers and doctors will get
the advantage ofus.g i aIn't no objections
tolawyers and doctors In their place; but
they amt farmers gentlemen Of the jury.
Now .his DR.. Roystor was a new doctor,
aud sent for him to doctor my wife's
sore legi-And he did, and put some salve
truck ON II aud some rags, but never done
10 a bit OF good gentlemen OF the jury. !
don't believe he's no doctor, no way
There's doctors as know Is doctors, sure
enough, but this amt no doctor at all.
This was evidently telling, and DIR.
Roystor put In with; "Look at my Iii
pIoms, and see II am not . doctor.'
Ellis diplomat said the new-fcdged
orator. with great contempt; that ain't
nuthin,' for no pieco q paper ever made
doctor yet.'
Ask my patients shouted the now
furious physician. $50
This was the conventional straw that
seemed to break the buck Of the orators
patience.
Ask yeur patientsl y he said in slow and
mournful deliberation. Ask your patients?
Why they're all dead,
Then, in rapid defamation, he named
case after case, well known but mostly
among the negro servants Of hIs ncighbors,
where his opponent had treated them and
their owners buried them and continued;
Ask your patients. Why, I would
have to seek them IN the lonesome church
yard, and rap on the silent tomb 10 get
answers from the dead. You know they
caa't say nuthin' to this case for you've
killed them all =
The applause closed the speech, and the
defendant won his case.
