1t is great comfort to know that ar
ticles we use in the indispensable goings
and comings OF life are genuine and honest.
For Instance, that the soap we buy is per-
tectly pure and inuocuous. To experience
this satisfaction we must use B. T. Bah
bits Toilet Soap, whose delicate, natural
fragrance Indicates that no false scents
have been employed to cover up nastiness.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure TO miasmatie
exhalatiops, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grirdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

Rescue of Maine Seamen.


The Jacksonville, Fla, Sun of April Doth
has the following account Of the rescue of
men from the wrecks oftWo vessels belong
ing in this vicinity
The schooner Flora Woodhouse Captain Lowry
arrived here last night from New York. She eX-
pcrienced succession of gales and on the second
day out was struck by heavy seas which shifted
her cargo
On the 18th, about II ii. m, the attention of
captain Lowry was attracted TO object floating
upon the water some two hundred yards distant
from the vessel 1t was soon found to be a man
who was upon his knees on a raft attempting to
raise board to attract attention. The schooner
bore down upon him, but passed him at some dis
lance. and dritted 10 the lceward. Ii was useless
to launch a boat, as one could not have lived in
the fearful sea which was running. The schooner
then commenced to beat back in the direction of
where the man was seen. After about an hour
and just as all had given up all hope Of seeing him
again. he was spied a short distance ahead. The
schooner soon came up with him. and he was
hauled on board by mclllS of a line thrown To him
from the deck OF the vessel.
The man who was thus rescued proved Ia be

Horrible Murder in Boston.

On Sunday night of last week shock
ing murder was perpetrated on Boston
Highlands. The murdered man was a
Swiss by the name Of Samuel kull. who
at the time of his death was employed in
a wooden mill in Dedham. Some time
ago a German named GOdtlied Zeigler
worked at the same place with him, but
subsequently became engaged as an en-
gineer in the dye house Of Conrad Zeigler
on George street, Highlands. On Sunday
night these two were seen going together
into the dye-house building, and since
then kull has been missing from his place
of work at Dedham. Yesterday forenoon
his dead body was found in a little-used
room Of the dye-house beneath 4 covering
of canvas boards and brick. In the room
above was found a lounge soaked with
blood. The walls Of the room also bore
evidence OF having been treated to an APP
plcatiOn of acid in various places, us if
to remove stains, and a common wood axe
lay near by, the blade and handle Of
which had evidently received the same
treatment. The head OF kull had evil
IDENTITY been split open with an axe as ne
lay upon the lounge, his body dragged
The skull was smashed in and the brains
protruded.
God1red Zeigler whom the proprietor
of the establishment claims is no relative
or his, though bearing the same surname,
was naturally the first person suspected,
and the suspicious We're increased from
the fact that it was known that he had
been owing Kull $50 for some time; also
from his conduct after the deed was com
Eitted. He had absented himself from
his place of work, and Officer Baxter
traced him from one beer shop to another
until he learned that he had started TO
walk to Providence He drove quickly in
the direction Indicated and overlook the
fugitive near to the lleath-strett station,
and arrested him at 30 Z. NJ Zeigler
was under the influence OF liquor and
strongly denied the charge Of having any
trouble with kull, but made no resistance
to arrest.
kull was about thirty years of age, of
pleasant disposition, and not known to
have an enemy. Zegler is about forty
five years of age, 5! feet in height. and
weighs about Is. He is not d particulars
~ bad-loolling man. 1t has been asccr-
tanned that kull, when he came 10 the
Highlands on Sunday. had 5000 in his
possession, and intended to start for
Europe the next day. Most of the money
was missing from his person when found
and Zelgler has, since Sunday, seemed to
have an unusual amount Of money about
him and to be very free With it.
