CHILIcOTHE. Oct. 2z. 1877.

Edward S. McVey and his wife Ann,
aged respectively seventy.seven and
seventy~two years, an old couple who for
some time past have been living at the
second tollNgate on the Circleville turn
pike, near Hopetown, about six miles
north Of this city, were found murdered
at their home at about twelve o'clock
last night.
Two men, supposed to be tramps, en-
tered the house by back window, and
went through the sleeping room of the
aged couple to the front part of the house,
used as small grocery.
A girl, named Alice Dean, aged ID
years, who had been living with the Me-
Veys for three years past, was awakened
by the report of pistol and had presence
of mind enough to get under the bed Sc
cret!ng herself until the murderers had
finished their work by firing both beds
in the house and going back to the kitchen
when she leaped through window and
alarm ed the neighbors, who soon arriv-
ing burst open the front door and found
the dead body of Mr.. McVey on the floor
with a bullet through his breast and that
of Mrs. MCVey with ball through the
head and one through the breast.
The object of the murderers was to Sc.
cure small amount of toll money sup~
posed to be in the house; but investiga-
ton shows that they got nothing ,as three
hundred and thirty-eight dollars were
found in the house this morning, all that
is supposed to have been there.
The girl, Alice Dean, describes one of
the men, which suits description of two
men who were at Steltz's grocery in
Hopetown a couple of hours before.
Our people are much excited over the
atrocity and the County Commissioners
offer reward of one thousand dollars
for the arrest of the murderers, which
will probably be increased to twenty-five
hundred this evening.
Five men have already been arrested
on suspicion and men are out in all dis
rections securing the country in search
OF suspicious characters.

A ADAILY-We are occasionally asked
why don't you folks publish daily2"
Well, we usually say it will not pay, and
then we might spoil healthy weekly in
the effort. We know of towns larger
than Canton where dailies have been
faithfully tried, and abandoned. Be-
sides, what do people take dailies for but
to get news from all quarters, at home
and abroad No daily can receive suf-
fcient patronage in Canton to give this
so as to satisfy the requirements of read
ing people. With the present railway
facilities, it is not possible for a daily in
Canton to compete successfully with the
large and able city papers that are rush.
ed in here on he railway express trains
daily, morning, noon and night.
1t is only an established weekly in a
town like Canton, that can make daily
a success. OF course, those who have
nothing to lose may make the venture
publisher of standing will consider
well before he tries the venture. !

THE GAS QUESTIoN.-A communica>
ton from the Gas company to the City
Council will be found in this paper. The
communication speaks for itself, and af
ter reading, candid people will admit
that the Gas company have some rights
and are entitled to fair show, We
have not seen, nor heard of any statis-
teal report from the gas committee of
the Council, showing substantial reasons
for their action. Mere arbitrary opin>
ion, founded on nothing substantial, is
hardly sufficient for conclusive action in
such case. The proposal to refer the
whole question to suitable outside COM
mittee looks fair, and will certainly COM
mend itself to the judgment Of candid
citizens.

NEW BRIGHTON HYGIENTC CURE

DIR. S, Frease. of the New Brighton
Hygienic Cure, paid us visit one day
last week, and it is always agreeable to
meet with our old and excellent friend.
Doctor Frease and his accomplished lady
have had many years experience in the
rational treatment of curing diseased con-
ditions of the human system. They
have just opened their new cure at New
Brighton, the cd hospital building,
which is large and commodious, and most
delightfully."- situated and supplied with
pure, soft spring water. The cure has
been put in the most acceptable shape
for patients, the rooms pleasant and at
tractive, the grounds surrounding charm
ing and romantic and the building well
supplied with bathing arrangements The
Turkish bath is one OF the modes of
treatment in which Mr.. and Mrs. Frease
have had large experience. Invalids
wishing few weeks or a few months
hygienic treatment and cure, will find
the best of skill and attention at the New
Brighton (Pa.) Hygienic Cure of Doctor
Frease, and at moderate rates of charge.
All enquiries will be promptly answered
by addressing the proprietor.
