FIrNplsm FEMALE.-BURKsvILLE, Va,
was thrown into a terrible excitement
June 7th, over domestic a,rocity, III
which Jennie Miller. beheadcd her hus-
band, Andrew Miller, while they were ut
breakfast. it seems that he was OF a
cool quiet temper, bat she was notor-
Gus hpreaboutS as tartar The two
had been seated at the table but few
minutes when Mr. Miller venlured TO
remark: Wife, here's a fly i'll the gravy.
At this Mrs Miller fred up, aud scream
cd out, That's the way with you, You
are all the time finding fault. The
husband said, oh no; just happened
to see the fly and thought would tell
you The spunky woman replied,
You are liar, flies never get in my
gravy Words multiplied, and in
little while Mrs. Miller WAS waltzing
around the room, smashing up furniture
and raising the deuce generally.
Finally, when the husband, who had
by this time got his dander mp, ordered
the wife to leave the house, she ran ont
and seized an AK, which was on the
porch, and rushing back to her hus-
band dealt him heavy blow on the
back Of the head while he still sat at the
table He tried to get up, but she re,
pcated the blow, which felled him to
the ground. Then in her brutal rage
she severed the head from the body.
y guest of Mr.. Miller was mp stairs
while the bloody work was going on,
aud he got into the dining room just in
time to see the end OF it. As he enter
ed, the guilty woman held the head Of
her husband up, and with hellish ex-
clamalion dropped it to the floor and
fell in a swoon.
The news of the murder spread rap
idly and Mrs. Miller was promptly ar
rested and lodged in Jail. The Millers
had been married about two years. His
parents and friends advised him against
the match, on account OF her high tenn
per, but little was it dreamed that the
result of the marriage would be SO hor-

he laboratory of the System.

The stomach is the labratory of the sys-
tenn, in which certain mysterious process
ses are constantly going on. These result
in the production of that wonderful vivi-
flying agent the blood, which in Il state of
health rushes laden with the elements of
vitality to the remOteSt parts Of the Sys-
TEN. But when the blood is semi-para-
lyzed by dyspepsia, blood manufacture is
carried Oh imperfectly, the circulation
grows thin and sluggish, and the system
suffers in consequence. Moreover, indi-
gestion reacts upoE the liver and bowels,
rendering the first sluggish, and the lat
ter constipated. The brain also suffers
by sympathy, and sick headaches, sleep
lessness and nervous symptoms are en-
gendered, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
reforms this state of things, gives perma-
nent tone and regularity TO the stomach
and its associate organs, the bowels and
liver, and ensures complete rOurishmcut
and Increased vigor of the system. 1t is
the most popular us well as the most eff
cient anti-dyspeptica and tonic i'll America.
