WIFE MURDER.

The people of No. AndOyer, Mass.
were worked to a fever pitch ofeXcite-
ment last Friday afternoon by the re-
mort that a horrible wife murder had
been perpetrated within its bounds
ries, and that the perpetrator had at
tempted TO commit suicide. The re-
mort was at first discredited, but sub
sequent investigation found 1t to be
horne out by facts. The particulars
are as follows: About . O'Clock John
Butterworth, dresser in Stevens
flannel mill, residing in what is known
as Stevens village at North Andoyer,
the outskirts of the town, feeling
somewhat unwell from a debauch OF
the night before, returned to his home.
On going into the house he discovered
his wife in company with a spinner
with whom she had a previous ac-
ouaitance, and both partially intoXi-
Gated. He became enraged and Or
lered his wife's guest from the house,
and he speedily withdrew. Butter
worth then administered to his consort
a severe beating, discoloring both her
eyes and kicking her inhumanly in the
abdomen. He then left the house and
did not return until noon, when he
was considerably under the influence
of liquor. His wife was, at this time,
lying upon the sofa in the sitting room
in the upper portion of the house, and
Butterworth entering the room the
quarrel was renewed. He beat her
more inhumanly than before, and
throwing her violently upon the sofa,
rushing into an adjoining apartment,
seized a butcher knife and plunged il
several times into her breast. The
elder daughter, IS years of age, who
had repeatedly endeavOred to stop hel
father, seeing what he had done, raised
the alarm, but no one responded tC
her cries, although the neighborhooc
is thickly settled. Butterworth there
upon seized her and throwing her tC
the opposite side Of the room, plunged
the knife into the right side Of his owl
neck and fell to the floor. The daugh
ter then called the neighbors and
messenger was dispatched for Consta
BILE Harris. When informed of tn
facts, about 2 80 o'clock in the after
noon, he Immediately repaired to tn
scene, but the woman was dead, hay
ing breathed her last about half al
hour after the assault was committed
Medical Examining Lamb was sum
monded, and with the assistance o
Dir. Morrill, of North Andover, tn
wound in Butterworth's neck wa
dressed, and he is in fair way to re
cover. He was removed to the polio
, station in Lawrence, Mass, in tn
evening.

a STORY OF ABDUCTION.

The fact mentioned in Mondays
telegraphic news that word had been
received at Camden, n. j., of the
safety at Wa Of girl named Davis
stolen from that city some time ago,
proves the sequel to very interesting
abduction case. The girl, Josephine
Davis, was induced to leave her home
last April, when only about l3 years
algo R~n cRR gAamHfa ne S VAS eddfmda as
ly rich, and would educate her and
give her all that heart could desire or
ask fol. The simple hearted little
girl, thinking it would be such splen-
did chance to live a life of luxury, as
sented, and lie took her to Troy, n.
u, walking the whole distance and
sleeping in pS!ns, box cars, etc., at
night.
The child, finding the life different
from that promised her, threatened to
return home, but was frightened into
submission by stories that the Mayor
Of Camden would arrest her and put
her in the House of Correction if she
returned. While i'll Troy he compell-
ed her to beg and steal for the sup
port Of himself and Flora Jones, u
woman who passed as his wife, and
when the poor child did not bring
home at night as much money as Hat
stadt required, he would curse and
beat her in q fearful manner, at one
time striking her ia the eye and nearly
destroying the sight. He even went
so far as to tell her that she was taken
from home for bad purpose and that
she would make money enough for
him by and by.
They remained at Troy until June
Z, when they set out on another tramp
through the coun ry. passing days
without food of any kind, and bring
ing up at last at Ware, where Ha,-
stadt has a sister living. While he
the child escaped from him and wc.n-
dering around through Ware, Gilbert
vile and Barre, was at last found in
Hubbardston by Chester Bliss and
wife of Ware, who took her to their
home, and, after hearing her story,
wrote to the gi1Ps mother in Game en-.
The mother reached Ware Monday
morning, and was oyerjoyed to see
her lost child once more, and they re-
turned home to Camden yesterday
morning. The officers are in pursuit
of Hatstadt, and he.will probably be
arrested soon.-Spring6eld Rapubli-
can.

Wealth and poverty are seen Tor
what they are. IL begins 10 be seen
that the poor are only they who feel
poor, and poverty consists IN leehhs
moor. The rich, as we reckon them,
and among them the very neh' III
true scale would be found very mdl-
gent and ragged.-Emerson.
In New York, last week, girl
named Wetzel killed a man named
Listemann, by slashing him with ra-
zor. Listemann had kept her as his
mistress six years, and the girl had
frequently importuned him to marry
her, urging that she was ,siek OF Lead
inc a life of shame" She made this
demand last Tuesday night, which he
refused TO listen to; but, apparently
nacified. she retired with him. Scarce
il had he laid down when she whipped
n razor from under her pillow. and in
aicted horrible wounds on his abdo-
men. from which he died. Two days
after n similar case occurred in Brook
lyn. A woman had lived with man
on intimate terms, and had reformed
and married. Her paramour was
brute enough to make public the rela-
tions which had once existed between
them, and which, coming to the ears
of the husband, caused a separation.
The enraged woman made an appoint
nrept with her former lover, and de-
liberately cut him in the abdomen and
thighs till he died. Then, a day after,
similar tragedy was enacted in Jer-
sey City, and still another in 57tl
street, in each case illicit love being
at the bottom, a razor the weapon,
bed the scene. 1t is as though every
disappointed, repentant woman fell
called upon to follow the example o
the first. In each case death ensued

''As you WOULD BE DONE BY"

1t is easy to preach; talk is cheap {;
but to do what seems duty sometimes
MS not easy. For instance, two young
men get intoxicated; they hardly re-
alize what they are about; they come
on to camp-ground drunk, and with
their bottle not yet emptied they con-
tinue to drink. They are somebody's
boys, but yet it seems that duty would
require that they be arrested and lock-
ed up. You have got boys growing
up; they are liable to have wild oats
to SOW by and by, and they may be
drunk some day, and would you then
like that some one arrest your bow
and Jail him over night, and fine him
five dollars? Well, that is a hard
question, and one hesitates to answer ::
but for the good of community, and
that there may be less opportunity
for our boys to become fools through
rum, and get into trouble thereby, we
say-though it may make some heart
aches and some deep-felt shame and
regret in some mothers or some IA
theirs heart-in our heart or YOUR
heart-arrest him, confne and fine
him, as quickly as you would if he
had stolen, until young men shall
learn to look upon and shun drunken
ness as they look upon and shun theft.
we do not hesitate to arrest a youno
man for theft, even though we do
know that some mothers heart will
ache. The majesty of the law de-
mands it. Let the law against intox-
lcation be regarded, at least by tenn
perance people, with the same respect,
and, in time, there will grow I'M n
public sentiment which will make peo-
pie feel, as they ought to feel, the
disgrace of the crime.

This is the way that Sharon cor
respondent Of the Woodstock Stand
ard goes for Rev. Mr.. Stone, Yer
monts chronic temperance speaker :
After giving the audience history OF
himself, a dissertation on music and
an elaborate opinion as to the differ
ent kinds of religion, he proceeded to
take some ten minutes or so of an
hours time spent on matters foreign
to the subject to talk on temperance.
the most telling point he made was,
that every one but temperance lee
turer who was interested in the rum
business, had an object. Forinstance
the rum seller sold to make money,
the rum drinker drank to satisfy his
appetite, but the lecturer worked for
the good Of mankind, and with no
other object. That's whatw thought,
when we saw him examine the change
that was passed into the hats. But
he didn't care for that, oh, no! not
any.

The Graphic thus illustrates the
tremendous earnestness- with which
the editor of tie New York Sun sticks
to the great bottom principle which
underlies that paper: There was a
circus in the Sun office this morning.
The editor rushed in, his face as white

a copy of the Sun, which he was clutch

During the severe thunderstorm,
Saturday evening, of last week, the
Central House at Burlington, was
struck by lightning. Mr.. Terrill and
his family had just seated themselves
at the tea-table, when suddenly what
appeared to be ball of fire flashed
down the chimney, through the apart
ment and out of the window. One or
two persons at the table were partial
" paralyzed for short time, but for
tunately escaped serious injury. The
only damage done to the building was
the displacement of few bricks.
