THE Waterloo papers of this week,
bring the particulars of a terrible double
tragedy which occurred in that town on
Tuesday. A German named Gumeringer,
last fall married widow named Vogle,
who had some property which the hus-
band wanted to manage and receive the
benefit of, but the wife would not con-
sent Frequent quarrels were the con-
sequence, and in one of these on the day
mentioned. Gumeringer, IN the furry of
passion, seized an axe and struck his
wife two or three blows, fracturing her
skull and causing the brain to exude.--
He then took refuge in loft, threatening
his pursuers with a revolver. While in
this place he shot himself four times
through the lungs, and once IN the
mouth. Both Gumeringer and his wife
were alive at last report, but there is not
the least probability that either will
survive many days.

The brick building on the southeast
corner of Main and Walnut streets, oc-
cupied by S. D. circuit as n furniture
store, had very narrow escape from de-
struction last Monday night Mr.. Dol
enty, the Night Watchman, smelled some
thing like wood burning in the vicinity
for nearly an hour, but could discover no
other indications of fire. 1t was burning
between the lower floor and the ceiling Of
the basement. Finally hole was burned
through the floor and then the Waterman
discovered 1t through the store window
and gave the alarm. The firemen turned
out promptly and extinfiuished the flames,
with little damage to the building, but
considerable to the stock of Mr.. Occult,
which was much smoked and scorched.
His loss will be about $500, and is cover
ed by insurance.

picture of the little girl, as -
''IIalf lost within her boots her head
Warm sheltered in her hood of red,
Her plaid skirt close about her drawn,
She foundered down the wintry lawn;
Now struggling through the misty veil
Blown round her by the shrieking gate;
Now sinking in n drift so low
Her scarlet hood could scarcely show
Its dash of color on the snow"

Ridged DER with many drifted heap;
The wind that through the pine trees sung
The naked elm boughs tossed and swung;
While, through the window, frosty starred,
Against the sunset purple barsed,
We saw the sombre crow flap by,
The hawks gray feck along the sky.
The crested bue-ja fitting swift,
The squirrel posing on the drift,
Erect, alert, his thick gray tail

Castoriia.

1t j. a mistake to suppose that Castoria is
not adapted to grown persons us well as
Children. They only need to increase the
quantity. But children have so many COM
plants for which Castoria Is adapted--lko

ally recommended for them.
Its effects are more certain than Castor
Oil. 1t contains no alchohoi and is as

Breaking Colts.

In the first place you cannot begin
too soon. When they are a week old,
begin TO handle them gently, to gain
their confidence. And as you handle
them, if there be heart of man or
boy in you, that heart will begin to
warm as the animal yields his conf
dence, and INDUCES in his playful ma
ture. But never allow them to be
tricked OF plagued, as they can easily
be taught to be cross and spunky, as
well as kind and tractsble. Next. put
cords on their necks and noses and
lead them gently about. Haltcrs and
brides come next-exercising the ut
most kindness and patience. Colts are
not naturally balky or sulen, unless
they are taught it by bad management,
1t is much easier to handle and teach
a colt three months old than one three
years old. The lesson has to be
taught them but once. They are
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1877-03-07

easily taught and always recollect.
When by patience and kindness the
colt has been taught the use of the hal
ter and bride, then begun with the
harness. 1t is not important it should
tit The collar first press 1t against
the shoulder. See that nothing is
done in hurry or careIeSs|y to fright
en-. Let them smell of it, and satisfy
themselves that it will not hurt them.
Sometimes these operations tickle
their tender skin. See that they are
not tretted thereby. When they ale
used TO the collar, put on gently more
of the harness. Press the collar
against the shoulder When they get
used to this, take hold of The tugs and
pull back gently while they are Undue
ed 10 step forward. In all this opera
ton never get excited, and, above all,
never strike 4 colt. All they need is
confidence, aud to know what you de-
sire them to do. Naturally, they
know all they ought to. With their
power, did they know more, they
would not be such faithful and obedi-
ent slaves. A colt CT horse, spoiled
by bad management or bad treatment,
is ten times as hard to make tractable
and useful as to subdue and make use
ful a wild horse from the pampas Of
the South. Whenever you see a
tricky Or balky horse, there has been
bad management. There is a differ
ence in the temper and disposition Of
colts, but it is the duty Of the one
training to study that temper and dis
position, and proceed i'll his operations
accordingly. A colt can be SO thor
oughly trained by the time he is three
or six months old, that there will new
Ell after be any trouble in having him
one of the kindest and most tractable
horses. But patieice and Kindness
arc the means Of teaching, directing
and managing colts Iowa State

The Republican party is really to-

Colleges its strength rests entirely up
on such extraordinary eypedients as
partisan Returning Boards, constitut-
ed for the sole purpose of destroying
the polls. In the next Senate its once
enormous prcponderance is reduced 10
four or five majority. In the House
it will be III minority. One after
another OF its great leaders has been
suppressed or driven away, until in
the next House Gov. Cox, Of Ohio
will stand out almost alone as con
spicuous for public service. II is on
Iy undue charity which accords to
Garfield or Eugene Hale capacity Tor
leadership. In the Senate Edmunds,
Conkling, and George T. Hoar may
be considered strong men and leaders.
Christiancy and Booth are Indepeu-
dents. Blaine must yet rehabilitate
his reputation. Morton and John
Sherman, certainly the former, can

any party.
Nor are we better off in respect Of
measures than Of men. Upon finance

we have must be abandoned, and we
