Our Belgrade correspondent. referring to the
Savage tragedy in that town, says: "a good deal
of sympathy is felt in this community for the un-
fortunate man who, crazy with drink, was led to
commit this terrible crime, but no sympathy is
felt for the person, whoever he may be, who sold
the vile stuff that was the cause Of this awful
deed, and he should be punished equally with the
miserable man who committed the deed. Rum
has certainly been the destruction of this family.

Where did Savage get His Rum,

EDITOR JOURNAL This town has Of late pass

the brutal murder of Mrs. Savage by her husband.
Now that the excitement has in q degree died
away, the question is naturally asked from whence
obtained Savage the liquor that crazed his brain.
and made him commit the horrid deed. We want
to know the MANTLE accessory to the murder,
for we can consider him nothing else. Some say
that he was in the habit of obtaining his liquor
from your city, while others think that he got it
nearer home. Notwithstanding this horrible trag-
edy, we have persons right here in our midst that
think that there is no harm in a person selling
liquid damnston to his brother man, if he can OBJ
tain thereby little psltry pelt. How such man

whose moral perceptions are so blunted that be

hope for the good name of our town that there are
no places in II where the vile poison is dealt out
to blacken and destroy happiness, and even human
life; but many of us fear that we have some among
us, from certain indications, who still dabble in
,his instrument of death. On such, the officers Of
lslaw should keep watchful eye, and not let
zen go unwhpped of justice. They may escape
for . time, but tine day of retribution cometh,
when no man can escape. w.
