His Wife's Throat.

Last night, between ! and II clock,
n social entertainment at the corner OF
Charlotte street and Central avenue was
suddenly broken up by the announce
ment that the host had cut the throat OF
his wife and killed her. Williom Weigel
a German, has for some time been keep
ing a saloon and boarding house at the
place named, No 735 Central avenue.
Last night farewell benefit was given,
on the occasion Of Weigel moving his
quarters to. another stand on Court
street number of friends were in
vited, beer flowed freely, and all were
having good time. The guests were
about to partake of a lunch spread out
for them when the news came that Wei
gel had murdered his wife in the kitch
en-. The particulars Of the affair are
about as follows:
Weigel is a man nearly fifty years of
age. His wife is ten years his junior,
and quite robust and comely. They
have been married eleven years, but
have had no children.
A man OF the name Of Ulmer, recently
the principal bartender at the Bellevue
House, has for some time been boarding
at the house of Weigel, and as the latter
appeared to think, showing too great at
tention to his wife.
Last night Ulmer was at the party. and
danced with the woman a few times.
Weigel displayed jealous temperament.
He and his wife met in the kitchen and
had a quarrel, terminated by Weigel
drawing his pocket-knife and attacking
his wife He threw her on the floor
and inflicted two deep gashes in her
throat, one on either side. One is said
to have severed the windpipe.
Weigel then exclaimed that Ulmer
could do him no further harm, and run
ming to cistern in the backyard threw
in the bloody knife, and sprang in head
foremost himself
Those at the party sought for him, and
when lantern was lowered he was seen
standing waist deep in the content1 Of
the cistern, complaining that there was
not water enough to drown him. He
willingly permitted himself to be haul
ed up.
Lieutenant Parks and Officer Schmidt
arrested him and lodged him in the
0lil er Street Station.
The woman received surgical attention,
and her wounds were sewed up. She
lost much blood, and at last accounts was
in a critical condition Cincinnati
Commercial.

he had few 10 tell and those he told pro-
silly. One day he was dining at Sir Rich

present and after dinner fell asleep, and
had a pretty long nap. Temple rallied
him, when Dodingham tried to deny the
fact a nd off.red 10 bet ten guineas that
he would repeat all Gotham had been
saying Ills Lordship accepted the wa
ger and dared Dodington to the proof
To his surprise. however, Bubb went
through the story Gotham had been tell
ing nearly word for word. Surely" said
Temple, you must possess the extraordi-
nary faculty Of sleeping with your ears
open" Far from it, replied Doding-
ton, when ] dozed off knew that the
period had arrived when Gotham would
tell that story, so l went to sleep accord

Raise Your own Teams


Much has been said upon this sub
ject already by the agricultural
press of the South, but too much
cannot be said, and it is to be hoped
that the subject will not be dropped
until our farmers begin to do this
important thing. We are especial
ly admouished to write upon this
subject. when we see every day, go
ing through the streets, herds of
mules and horses from Kentucky
and other States, destined for the
use of cotton planters and farmers.
These animals range in price from
one hundred to two hundred and
fifty dollars, and it is reasonable to
believe that not less than 81, 600, 600
is paid every year in this city alone
for horses and mules that go to the
country. II all this stock were
raised by the farmers who buy
then, almost. this entire sum would
be saved to the community, as the
cost of growing would be almost
purely nominal, since what would
go to raising colts would not other
wise be sold. The cost of raising
Il horse or mule TO three years is
variOasly estimated at from thirty
i've to sixty dollars. Putting this
at the highest figures, and suppos
ing the average cost of the stock
bought by farmers to be one hum
dred and thirty dollars, more than
one-half Of the amount mentioned
above would be saved, even if the
raising of each colt caused an act
ual expenditure of sixty dollars
In the South, however, where the
grazing season extends from Ist of
April to the Ist of November, and
where, in many localities, the cane
affords toierable grazing even in
the winter, the cost of growing
common class of stock would be
merely nominal. We do not. recon-
mend, however, shat either horse or
mule colts be left TO shift for them
selves. Even il an actual outlay OF
sixty dollars each in the raising is
necessary, the amount will be more
than repaid in the increased value
of the animal. Moreover, this is a
point to be considered in the South |
ern farmers raising his own stock
he can afford to have the. best.
When good horse or mule brings
two hundred and fifty dollars in the
market, very few farmers can afford |
to have them,. but must content
themselves with much cheaper and |
stock Hence we find on |
most farms poor horses and small, |
slow mules, even the farmers sad |
die horse being a rough common /
hack. This is all wrong; a large,
strong, fast walking and easily kept
mule is worth more in the amount
0f work done.-.Sout6ern Farmer.
