sT. LOUIS. March %. 1878.
Gould's seventh annual directory of the city
OF st. Louis has been completed and Is now in
the hands of the bookbinder. The directory
gives
TIE POPULATION OF THE CITY
at 500, 685, and does not include the territory
added to the city in 1876. The population Of st.
Louis, according to Gould's directory for 1877.
was sol .4ss last year. The increase In the old
city limits hos. therefore. been little over 1000
"a very small increase you would say for city
of half million people, but the directory man
thinks it a very satisfactory one. He says In
his introduction: When the fact that oil the
manufacturing industries OF the city we're In q
state Of fearful paralysis foundries closed and
factories and shops running very light. is duly
considered, any gain ut oil In the population
will be solid ground of encouragement. 1t Is
true that there are more
EMPTY HOUSES
In St. Louis to-day than there have been for
years. and two potential causes operate to
achieve this apparently ominous result. The
first cause is the fact that In 1877 there Oils
new houses erected. against 1926 during the
year 1876. The next cause Is the necessity which
has compelled several thousands Of our fam
lilies to rent rooms In cooperation with others.
Instead Of renting entire houses for them
selves, as they were doing before. and as they
always do when times are prosperous. Yet If
any one will take tho trouble to look. 1t will be
discovered that the houses more numerously
untenanted are the costly ones and the old
houses. The large three story. ten to fifteen
room houses. are the ones which have been
most numerously abandoned They are held at
$50 to $50 a month but new houses, and all
those renting from sic TO $40 per month. seldom
20 long unenanted. The concentration of
population by cooperative renting has been
very great, and though this affords grounds for
the belief that the popu alton has decreased be-
cause Of the increase in the number Of vacant
houses, the belief Is an illusion"

BLUNT BUT TRUE.-There il said TO
be young man in the Missouri pen
itentiary who's parents at their deatl
left him fortune of fifty thousand
dollars. There is where his parents
made a fatal mistake. If they had
taken the precaution to invest that sum
IN small dog and shoot him, and then
had simply left the young man a jack
plaine. or wood saw. with printed in.
structions how to use it, the chances are
that. instead of being in the peni-
tentiary, he would to-day have been
gradually, bat surely, working his
way up to handsome and honorable
old age. But ever since the day of
Adam and Eve parents have made it a
point to toll and struggle all their lives,
in order to realize q sufficient SUN of
money to purchase, when they are dead
and gone, their sons each a first-class
through ticket to the devil and it is
not so much to be wondered at that their
sons, reared in vice and ldleness. as too
many of them are, have no higher am,
bltion than to invest their inheritance
In Just that sort of transportation.

Does any one Care For Father >

Does any one care aught for father
Does any one think OF the one
Upon whose tired. bent shoulders
The cares of the family come:
The father who strives for your com
fort.
AND tolls on from day INTO day.
Although his steps EVER grow slower,
AND his dark locks are turning to
gray.
Does any one think of the due bills
He's called upon daily to pay
Milliner bills, college bills, doctor bills,
There are some kind of bills every
day
Like patient horse in tread mill
He works on from morning till night;
Does any one think he is tired?
Does any one make his home bright !!
Is it right, just because he looks troub-
led,
To say he's as cross as bear!
Kind words, little acts of kindness,
Might Danish his burden of care.
'Tis for you he is ever so anxious.
He will toll for you while he may
live,
In return he only asks kindness,
And such pay is easy 10 give.

MAKITSSBUBG, November 97.-The Cir,
cult Court Of Berkeley county commenced
its tall term in this city yesterday. In the
charge TO the Grand Jury the Judge Hon,
John Blair Hoee, of the Third Circuit
made very particular reference to the in.
crease of crime within the jurisdiction OF
the Court, and referred with much EN-.
phasis to the violation OF the statutes pro
hibiting the carrying Of concealed Eeap-
onS. 70 this violation he attributed tie
increase ofmurder and homicide Of every
kind. Ordinary collisions and quarrels,
instead Of ending in petty assaults,
often rise to the dignity OF murder,
simply from the readiness with which
the pistol aud knife may be employed.
Three indictments for murder. With 9th.
ers for less offences, were returned by The
Grand Jury, when they adjourned over.
II Is understood that tomorrow they win
rgidly investigate the full charges Of car.
rying concealed weapons, and lndiCt with.
out respect TO person.
The trial Of John B. Files for the killing
Of Jeremiah SoHinger will come up on
Monday, and the other murder case win
follow. In these two cases much interest
Is exhibited. The best legal ability Of
Berkeley and Jefferson has been employed.

A Sad Case Of Suicide ut New PhiIadeI.
phia. Ohio.

pHfA. ONO.
NEE PHILADELPHIA, O., November "a
Jacob Friday, who Vas found in his back
yard here yesterday, disemboWeled, i
supposed to have taken his life with his
own hands. To accomplish his purpose
he used dull butcher knife, with the
point broken of. His abdomen and other
parts OF his body were found to be gashed
and mutilatedin the most horrible manner.
The history OF Jacobs married life Is = sad
one, and briefly Is as follows: He was
married eighteen monthes ago TO q buxum
pearance and good taste captiya;ed his in
nocent heart He was proud and happy
in the possession OF his bride, for whom
he provided 3 modest and pleasant home.
She had his confidence and his love, and
his married life was smooth and peaceful.
But, alas, this glittering bubble burst.
This paradise proved hell in disguise.
Jacob had taken 3 serpent to his bosom.
His wife was false. The scales fell from
his eyes, and she appeared to him in all
her stain and deceitfnlness. Last week
Jacob had the most positive evidence that
his wife was enjoying theembraees Of 9TH
ers, and he was overwhelmed with grief.
After the discovery OF her true charac-
ter, the young wife that had until then
filled his bosom with light and joy forsook
him, and fed, leaving poor jacob to his
disgrace, his gloom, his distraction and thu
death that aEAited him. s#4fFr
Since his death the following additional
facts have been made known: About the
time he married there was q rumOs that 3
fortune had beeen left him in Germany.
His wife was until then = stranger to him
and to New Philadelphia. She had come
here from Evansville with a travelling
troupe. She got employment At one Of the
hotels, and first met Jacob there. She
heard Of his expected fortune, and, with
this in view, resolved TO eaptivate him,
which she did, with the above result.
