Horrible and Mysterious.

Every good citizen will read
with feelings Of horror the account
OF the hcjnous crime that occurred
last Wednesday night in tho ives
tern portion Of this county. Mr..
". Ii. Mitchell'- house was tho
scene of an tu'r'go and murder
that only finds Il parallel in the
annals Of the most a~trOciOus
crimes. Tho inmates of the house
were Mitchell, his daughter, Fan
die f., and a son, Joseph. The lat
ter occupied a room at one end Of
the front piazza, Mitchell occupied
Il room in the back part OF the
house, and Fannie, a room between
them. Wednesday morning the
lifeIess body Of the girl was found
in bed, bearing all tho evidences
Of stranguIation and a brutal out
raro. The whole community are
shocked beyond expression, ant
no effort viii to spared to terrcI
out the perpetrators, and infiict OF
Thorn a punishment commensurate
with their crime. Slow torture Il
the stake would be too good iol
them.

THE DEAD KING.

Victor Emanuel, King of Italy, who
died at Rome, January 8, was born at
Turin, March IA, 1920. He belonged
to the House of Savoy, family found
ed $50 years ago by Humbert White
Hand, the oldest royal family in Europe.
Emanuel succeeded to the throne of
Sardinia in lS49. He found his posi-.
ton beset with grave difficulties. His
father had abdicated because of dis
astrous defeat of his army in the battle
of Novara. and his little kingdom was
seriously menaced by the Austrian
armies and was badly torn by internal
discussions. But calling to his aid
Count Cavour, at that time the wisest
statesman and most mastery diplomatist
in Europe, the king set himself to work
to expel his foreign foes, to quiet inter-
nal troubles, to express the papacy, to
liberalize the policy of the nation and to
