Gen. C.. r.. Gill and His Farm.

The following from the Madison sc77oarn-
al, relative to Col Gill's movements will
be of interest to many of our readers;
It is we'll known that Gen. G. R. Gill.
once Attorney General of the State, has
resided on an excellent farm, short dis
lance from this city, for several years; he
has improved it extensively; has erected
superior buildings; has put out great
variety of trees; has enriched it in many
ways, till it has become one of the best
farms in the county. Henow offers it for
sale, as will be seen by reference to our
advertising columns. This is not because
he does not enjoy farming as we'll as he
ever did, but for business reasons that rem
der such step desirable. He is lawyer
of long and extensive practice; his ex-
perience in his profession should not be
lost; and his friends insist that it shall not
be lost. His Office is in the city: his eli
ents increase with each year, and he finds
that he cannot continue longer to assume
the charge of his farm, and attend to his
law practice. He must yield up the one
or the other. AS a quarter of century
has been devoted to his professional pur-
suit, he does not feel at liberty to give it
up; and with great reluctance he aban-
dons farming and takes up his residence
in the city where his friends may be able
to find him at all times; and where he
will be able to attend to their numerous
requirements. The residence of Gen.
Gill is on Clymer street, second house
from the residence OF the proprietor of the
State Journal; and the Office Of Messrs.
Gill, Bashford & Spilde is in Browns
block. We are pleased to learn that the
practice Of Gen. Gill is SO extensive that
it has COMPELLED him to reside in the city
and now that he is in the city, his clients
will receive his undivided attention, which
could not be the case while he managed
his farm. May success attend him in all
| things; and, with increase OF years and
wisdom, may health and prosperity be
the lot our old friend-Ge G. R. Gill
Col. Gill's farm contains 1T acres, To-
Gated about four miles from the Capitol.
A fine two-story brick residence, barns
stables, &c. were erected by Mr.. Gill
few years ago, making it altogether one
of the most desirable farms in Dane coun.
ty. He offers the property on the most
advantageous terms in regard to payments

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with it's sudden
changes of temperatule-rain, wind and

1t is no wander that our children, friends

us by neglected colds, half the deaths result
ing directly from this cause. A bottle OF

sickness, large doctors bill, and perhaps
death, by the use of three or four doses.

on trial. If after one or two weeks trial
you are not satisfied with them you can re-
turn them to me and your money will be
refunded. These springs have many advan-

each spring is seperate and independent of
the other, and they require no Stats or net
ting on the top of the springs. They can
be put in any bed without any extra frame
other than the Stats that are in the bedstead.

The colored man named Whiting,
who practiced law Il brief term before
the District Court in Lafourche, is a
fraud and IL cheat, possessing no di-
ploma or license from the Supreme
Court of Georgia as he claimed, and
utterly incapable of conducting a case
properly. Judge Beattie severely rep
limanded him for his lame defense of
an accused in Il criminal prosecution,
the lawyers took a rule on him to
show cause why his name should not
be stricken from the roll of attorneys,
and Whiting disappeared next day.
He is tall, black fellow, about thirty
years of age, and figured very brief

Attorney declined to continue the

Whiting was attorney for accused,

RYAN,S MURDER.
Death of John Evans---The Removal Of
Ryan to the Parish Jail.

Death of John Evans---The Removal Of
Ryan to the Parish Jail.
John Evans, who was shot by Thos.
Ryan at Wiese's saloon, in this town,
on Thursday of last week, died at the
Charity Hospital in New Orleans on
Sunday morning, less than twenty
four hours after reaching the city.
Shortly subsequent to his arrival in
New Orleans, Evans wrote note to
Mr.. Armand Richard of Donaldson
vile, stating that he was feeling about
the same as when he left here that
physicians had examined his wound
and decided not to attempt the ex-
traction of the bullet.
An inquest was held on the body
of Evans by Coroner Roche, and the
jury returned verdict that deceased
came to his death from gunshot
wound inflicted with a revolver in
the hands of Thomas Ryan, causing
internal hemorrhage.
The process verbal of the inquest and
post mortem examination will be for
warded to District Attorney Earhart,
to be used in the examination and on
the trial of Ryan upon the charge Of
murder.
When intelligence of Evans death
reached here, Ryan was removed from
the house of Mr.. Jos. Eacarissas to
the parish Jail, for more secure Gus
tody. His wound is doing well, and
no further apprehensions relative
thereto are entertained. He has not
been informed of the death of Evans,
and when the news reaches him he
will probably have suddenly aug
mented appreciation of the grave ma
tule of the terrible offense which he
has committed. The circumstances
of the affair, as related by witnesses,
make the murder one of peculiar
atrocity and deliberation, and the
prisoner will DC fortunate if he escapes
the highest penalty known to our
laws.
