FiyhtforaC child,

About year ago, an old farmer
named o Stokely, living some eight
miles north Of the city, lost his y life,
who died leaving All infant to bis
care. The old man placed the child
Ia the hands of widow woman, iv-
Ing in his neighhorhood. to take care
of 1t, for which he paid her regularly a
stipulated sum. a short time since he
married again, the bride being blush
ing yonnE girl in her teens, when he
went for his child, II little boy, To
bring it home. He had no sooner
made known the occasion of his visit
than the woman flew into u
passion, declaring that he should
never take the child out of the house
alive. The old man argued the point
with her as best he could, but she
would not hear to 1t. He had paid the
widow some attention prior to his last
marriage, which was perhaps theesuse
OF her great madness, and he then aud
there thought of what the poe, had
said upon the subject, "heli hath no fury
like womaD's love TO hatred turn ed -
Yet be mustered courage, and attem pied
TO take the child by force. but it was the
saidest failure nf his life, for the
broonsiick and tisiiron were brought
20 bear upon him with telling effect,
and tie old man lie sbed 10 y a DAYS
with sore head, while the lifted
widow holds the child.

pose returned home.
The testimony before the coroner's
Jury this morning corruborated the
statement of the Heraid's extra that he
came to death by shooting his brains
rather than surrender when pressed by
the constable's posse, and the Iury re-
turned verdict in accordance with this
testimony. At the inquest "A man.
