The Exploded Marion County MUIR
der Case.

SHINNsToN, w. VA, April 7. 1877.
Editors Register:
The investigation of the Marion county
murder case is very unsatisfactory.
Every advantage was given to the ac-
cused parties which enabled them to
prove an alb, There Is no reason to
believe Miss Petit, the prosecuting wit
ness to be victim of any strange hallu-
cInatlon OF mind, or is monmanisc upon
that or any other subject, or that she Is
subject Of any strange menGal ailment
All such conclusions are uncharit
able. The soberness, earnestness
and self control that she retained
during the cross-examination where she
was threatened and abused by the de-
teGdsnt's counsel, who became angered
when he found himself outwitted by the
young girl, were sufficient to prove that
she was prompted by no other motive
than an honest conviction of duty. L
speak popular opinion when l say that
the evidence given by the girl stand un-
controverted in the minds OF the people.
OBSERVER.
We fear observer" has observed to
very poor purpose. The unsupported
oath of Miss PETIT, that murder was
committed, without the existence Of q
single corroborative circumstance; with
ont evidence that such person ever ex-
isted as the ole claimed to have been
murdered, and with the positive evidence
of one whom she swore was cognlzsnt OF
the murder contradicting her, there
seems to be slim grounds for believing
that this girl is not either insane or q
perjurer. We prefer to think she knows
not what she says.

tracted aunt of Alice for allowing the
poor girl to ride the fiery horse, Flyaway.
When Herman Holliston camo back TO
the home of his betrothed, the whole
neighborhood was in commotion over
the accident that had befallen the beauti-
full and beloved Alice Gray; but no one
distrusted Calista Langdon for an in
slant. When the funeral was over, the
heart-broken lover, after passing a
whole night on the grave of his loved
one, left the place, and soon afterward
Calista went back TO her home in town.
They sometimes met, but the guilty
woman could never call up a smile to his
haggard face. He wondered about from
place to place, never ut peace, and his
hair grew gray before its time.
Calista Langdon, from the time she
murdered sweet Alice Gray till her
death, never spent one happy moment,
and at last on her dying bed she sent for
Herman Holliston, and confessed the
whole. 1t was hard for him to forgive
her; but when he saw her writhing in an
guish, and calling for mercy and for
giveness, he pardoned her, and she died
with faint hope of salvation.
Herman HOLSTER is an old man now,
but every summer he visits the grave OF
sweet Alice Gray, and only looks for
ward to their reunion in the world where
all is pure and beautiful.

Wonderful Petrifactions in Colorado.

On Friday last we received a call from
Mr.. l.. Allen, an elderly gentleman from
Rochester, N. Y, who came to Colorado
about year ago. BY the advice of
physicians, Mr.. Allen was instructed to
keep in the open air as much as possible,
and so has travelled extensively through
Southern Colorado, prospecting and view
ing the country. He gave us the partic-
ulars of a strange discovery he made on
one of his tramps, but declined to give
the exact locality, mentioning only that
it was some distance from Pueblo. AT
the place mentioned several large mounds
or foothills appear, rising from the
plains, and situated some distance from
the mountains. Mr.. Allen visited these,
and the first thing peculiar he noticed
was what appeared to be petrified
cocoanut. 1t was much larger than the
ordinary fruit of this kind, but almost
perfect in formation. The three eyes of
cocoanut were plainly to be seen. On
breaking open the strange stone or petri-
faction, the shell appeared perfect, being
some half an inch in thickness, and the
inside was composed of white crystal
quartz. Mr.. Allen continued his investi-
cations, and discovered a number of other
specimens similar to the first; also others
resembling other kinds of fruits. Some
of these contained what appeared to be
seeds imbedded in quartz. Specimens
of petrifed wood in large quantities
were also found. The mounds or hills
appeared to be made up of loose, sandy
soil, and shells were found in great va
riety and quantity.
The strangest part OF the discovery,
however, was yet to come, In digging
into the side of the hill Mr.. Allen I'M
earthed what seemed to be perfectly pet
rifed sea turtle, and before closing his
Investigations about a dozen of these
were discovered. He described them to
us as being almost perfect, and no doubt
appears to remain in his mind but that
they are genuine petrifactions OF sea
turtles such as are found in the Pacific.
From the numerous specimens of shells
that are found at various places on the
plains, and numbers of which are found
in this neighborhood, many persons are
led to believe that the great plains on
which we live were at one time the bed
of an immense ocean, and this discovery
tends to confirm that theory. We learn
that several gentlemen of this city, to
whom Mr.. Allen had disclosed his dis
covery, propose accompanying him In a
wagon to the scene of his explorations
and bringing with them some of the new
found curiosities. -COlOralO Springs

Cross Husbands and scoiding Wives.

Domestic infelicity," which newspaper re-
porters nowadays credit with playing such an
important part in ife's drama, is often the re-
suit of lingering or chronic disease. What hus-
band or wife can be cheerful, smiling and pleas
ant when constantly suffering from the fortunes
Of some dread disease? Perhaps the husbands
liver becomes torpid and he experiences bitter,
disagreeable taste or nausea, has chilly sensa-
tons, alternating with great heat and dryness
of the surface of his body, pain in his sides,
shoulders or back, eyes and skin are tinged-with
yellow, feels dull, indisposcd and dizzy.
Through his suffering he becomes gloomy, de-
spoDdent, and exceedingly irritable in temper.

pound foolish" man he will attempt to econo-
miZe by saving the small cost of these medi-
cines. Continuing to suffer, his nervous system
becomes impaired, and he is fretful and peevish
"a fit subject TO become embroiled in "domes-
tic infelicity" Or the good wife may, from her
too-laborious duties or family cares, have be-
come subject TO such chronic affections as are
peculiarly incident to her sex, and, being re-
duced in blood and strength, suffering from
backache, nervousness, headache, internal fe-
Yer, and enduring pains too numerous TO men,
tion she may become peevish and fretful-any-
thing but genial helpmate. In this deplor-
able condition of ill-health, should she act
wisely and employ DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, 1t will, in due time, by its cordial,
tonic and nervine properties, restore her health
and transform her from the peeyish, scolding
irri.able-tempered invalid to a happy, cheerful
wife. Laying aside levity and speaking seri-
ously, husbands and wives, you will find the
Family Medicines above mentioned reliable and
potent remedies. For full particulars of their
properties and uses, see Pierces Memorandum
Book, which is given away by all druggists.

Portable or Composition Roonnss.

There is probably no article Of manufacture
30 universally needed as q reliable, low-priced
roofing, which can be readily applied without
the aid Of skilled labor, and in no other direc-
ton has so great want been so inemcientiy
supplied. The results Of experiments with
felts eements and other compositions have 30
far been anything but satisfactory. Numerous
so-caled "cheapr0ofings" have been produced,
advertised, used and found worthless. In view
of these facts we are glad TO be able TO speak
favorably of an article which, from our own
knowledge and the testimony OF some OF the
most extensive and best-known manufacturers
and merchants in this country, has proven a
reliable and economical substitute for the more
expensive kinds of roofing. We refer TO II. w.
Johns Patent Asbestos Roofing, the manu-
facturers Of which make no extravagant repre-
sensations, but claim 1t to be the only reliable
portable roofing in use, and from careful inquiry
We believe their claims are well founded. This
roofing is prepared ready for use, can be easily
applied by unskilled workmen, is adapted for
steep or fiat roofs in all climates and when
finished with the tchite Jfire-proof coating forms
the ightest, handsomest and coolest roof In
the world, costing only about half as much as
tin. Samples, illustrated catalogues, price
lists, and any desired information can be OBJ
tanned from the H. w. Johns Manufacturing
Company, patentees and sole manufacturers, 81
Maiden Lane, New York. This company have
recently completed q new mandatory, the
most extensive works of the kind in the world,
and have reduced their prices to basis which
place their goods within the reach Of every
one. They also manufacture liquid paints, all
shades, which are guaranteed equal to any for
general purposes, and the most durable for
outside work of any paints in use. In body
and richness Of color the Asbestos Paints
surpass any we have ever seen. Fire-proof
paint, an economical substitute for white lead,
costing only rs cents per gallon, for the pro-
lection Of factories, bridges and other wooden
structures against fire, is also valuable for the
class of outbuildings, fences ETC., which are
usually allowed to go Imprinted. Roof paint,
steam-pipe and boiler coverings, steam-packing,
sheathings, Innings, cements, etc., all Of which
can be relied upon as being in every respect as

purchasing paints or roofing, to send for
samples Ct these articles and compare them

With eyes Of fire and fragrant breath,
Lovely, but crueler than death
Through days my protean soul has hung
In lucid clusters richly strung,
Through many spacious, green expanse
or beauteous and historic France
Below blue deeps Of laughing skies
My soul has laughed, in soft surprise,
To hear what merry pleasure stirs
The voices of the vintagers!
But though at many revel nit
The rapid javelins of my wit
Though JOY obeys me, though regret
May quatf my Lethe and forget
Still do love by stealth to wind
My subtitle spells DER heart and mind,
Till sacred secrets, treasured dear,
Are babbled IN some greedy earl
And have loved to pluck aside
The mask from malice, envy, pride;
To strip fair flesh from deeds, and show
What bony motives grin below!
For when cheer he kindliest him
Who courts me at his goblet's brin,
When am blandest, warmest, then
Most deadly Is my hate of men!
Nor is 10 me that moment sweet
When solemn mourners dumbly meet,
And dying lips are lifted up
To touch my sacramental cup!
But keenlier does the moment please
If my drugged lover wakes and sees,

Curious.

Through the observations of the Chal-
lenger explorations of 1S6S-70 it was as
certained that the temperature of the sea
at 500 fathoms was 30 degrees instead OF
30, as generally believed. 1t is now
known that in the South Atlantic the
water over the bottom is generally as low
rs 80 degrees, while in the North Atlantic
the temperature rarely falls below 30
degrees. This problem of the low de-
gree of water in the tropical area, where
warm water might be expected, and a
higher degree in the polar region, where
one might look for colder temperature,
is certainly curious one.
