ed, or il that can not be done, should
have free and long exposure to air and
sunlight. The walls Of the room should
be ,lry-rubbed, end the cloths used for

savior Of the girls happiness. He was
tired for murder, and acquitted ON the
the ground OF insanity, although he
stDutly denied that lie was insane, and
said that he had acted upon his eool con-
yiction Of what was best for the girl, and
WIS ready to suffer tine penalty of the
Law for the homiciIe Acquitted, he
was rcinandel b. the county jail by the

Almost HeartbrOkcn.

A Philadelphia letter says 1t has
been definitely ascertained here that the
relatives uf William III. Weldon, who at
tempted the life Of Gov Packard in New
Orleans. reside at Nc. 9l3 Holly street,
in this city, near the Centennial grounds.
The father is Rev Charles 4. Weldon /;
not. however the clergyman Of that
name. who is pastor of st. Peters Ger
man Lutheran church. While i'm this
city young Weldon was employed in n
dry goods store. at Eighth and Chestnut
streets. In November last he left this
CITY for Mobile. where he engaged in the
dry goods store Of Patrick Pepper. The
father states that he received information
that his son.left Mobile on the thirteenth
OF February. He telegraphed his son,
telling him 10 make full and free con
fession To Gov. Packard, and at the same
time requesting the governor to appTIse
him Of what would he done A special
10 the Philadelphia Press from Bethle-
hem states that young Weldon WAS edu-
Gated at the home school of Mr.. Charles
III. Schwartz there. Ii is believed that
Huttle and Sage also come from the same
place. Rev. Mr.. Weldon is almost heart
broken at the actions of his son, and
states that he cannot comprehend what
would induce him to commit such an act,
as he was always very quiet at home,
and took no part in politics.

for eight hours n day, all we can say il
that it il simply monstrous. Our work
