A HORRIBLE double murder occurred
in Monroe County, ILL.,, on the Sd.
Henry Goetz, a young German farmer,
and his wife, who owned and worked
small farm on what is known as the
'' Columbia bottom,n were the victims :;
the assassin was a man named Carl
Strahl, who had worked around in the
neighborhood for some years, and was
generally considered a shiftless and
vicious character. The murder was
first discovered by a neighbor on the
7th, who found the house deserted and
the dead body of Mrs. Goetz
lying in the cellar. The body of
her husband had evidently been re-
moved and secreted. The neighbors at
once started in pursuit of the murderer,
who had driven off a pair of mules and
a wagon, and had also taken a cow,
which he tied behind. He was easily
traced to the Mississippi River at East
Carondelet, where he had sold the cow
and then proceeded to st. Louis, where
he had endeavOred to dispose of the
team, but was arrested on suspicion of
the property being stolen and locked up
just about the time his pursuers arrived
in the city. He was induced volentarily
to go across the river upon some pretext,
where he was at once arrested and
taken back to Monroe County.
Carl Strahl, the murderer of Henry
Goetz and wife in Monroe County, ILL.,,
IN account of whose capture in St.
Louis and return to the locality where
he crime was committed has been here
5ofore given, made full confession to
he Coroner of the county, and himself
ed the way to the place in the woods
where lay the dead body of
Henry Goetz. At the conclusion
If the inquest, and after the murderer
lad affixed his signature to his written
confession as taken down by the Coron-
II, in the presence of some so or more
'fthe residents of the vicinity, the,prison-
,r was suddenly seized by the infuriated
oy-standers, a rope placed around his
leck, and in few moments he was
langling from the limb of a tree. His
BODY was subsequently cut down and
buried beneath the tree upon which he
vas hanged.

present measure.

The late ineessant rain has had d tenn
dency to greatly damage the cotton crop
Of this parish. A large area OF bottom
land has been oysrflowed and much OF
the great staple washed level with the
ground; while upon the hills, even, the
wind and rein (Which lasted from q
o'clock on Sunday until / on that Of
Tuesday, has done great damage. We
feel safe, ut the present moment, In
placing the damage at 10 per cent, at
least, since our Issue OF Saturday last,
thus making q falling off Of some 40 per
cent during the last thirty-seven days,
or from the moment the prospect was
the brightest. Many excellent farmers,
however, place the entire loss OF 30 aud
others even at 60 per cent.

The cotton worms are now busily erl-
gagged in stripping the cotton stalks OF
all their leaves, forms and young bolls.
There will, In all probability, be- scarcely
q leaf left by tonight. This will cause
great damage to the crop, as what IL
commonly known as the top crop will
be destroyed. In addition to the above.
it has rained for three days in success
sion this week, which will cause the
planters to lose nearly weeks picking.
There Is not more than one.third Hs
much cotton picked as there was at
this time last year. We incline to the
opinion that there will be about two
thirds Of q crop made in the parish, TAX
ing 1875 for a standard.
In Carol parish, nearly all OF last
week and half OF the present week has
been lost to cotton picking in eonse-
uuence OF wet weather.
The cotton receipts ut Lake Provf-
denee are fully two weeks late. In
Avoyelles also, the receipts are several
weeks late.
The planters Of St. Martin parish are
experimenting on various kinds OF cane.
Col, w. Fl. Brown has seventeen acres
of Jamaica or Palfrey cane. Mr.. Louis
Duchamps has quite q lot OF ELEPHANT
cane growing ON his place.

CIGARETTE SMOKING.
IN. Z. sun.


Several correspondents have written
to US for @ further explanation OF our
views regarding cigarette smoking.
Inasmueh as many millions OF people
are in the habit of smoking cigarettes,
and the use Of tobacco In this form has
OF late years spread rapidly In this
country, the subject Is one OF impor@s
lance. In France, in Russia. In Turkey.
In the East, and In Spain and the coun-
tries peopled by the Spaniards, cigar
cites are smoked by nearly all the men
and by some Of the women. Cigars and
pipes are little used, and as for the
chewing of tobacco, that is tabooed by
people Of good taste, OF whatever race.

garettes. The French are better, the
paper in which the tobacco ia rolled be-

Austrian are still better, the paper being
OF straw. Those made in the United
States are very good.
But If man will smoke cigarettes.
we advise him to make them for him.

acquires the knaek. II he does that,
let him procure the PAPER PERSIAN, Of
French manufacture, sold in little
books. When this paper is burned there
is left only minute quantity Of ashes.
The proper tobacco to obtain Is that
known as the Caporal. By making
your own cigarettes you can get good
paper, and also avoid the paste used In
so many Of those bought.
