FROM MRS. MARY Ii. C0iburn, Boston.
l attended the Mann Lift first about year
ago, and began Immediately to feel the good
effects of it. Belonging to family every
member of which, for two generations, has
passed away with consumption, it became a
settled thing that l., too, must succumb to the
same dread disease; had many premonitory
symptoms, such as violent hemorrhages, loss of
voice, pain in the lungs, etc. A little investi-
cation into the principles Of your most in
genious machine, SO showed me how sensible
it was, that let the idea of consumption pass
away from my mind; and glad release it was,
can assure you. The change in me is very
remarkable, as all my friends testify, and
L really think it would be wrong for me not to
spread the glad tidings far and wide. do wish

officer Of the city Of Cairo. On Monday
evening last, went to police headquarters
to report for duty. ] met officer Aylcy,
and crossing the street | met officer Cain.
He reported disturbance on levee near
the Planters House, and requested my as
sistance in making the arrests. Officer
Cain and AXley started for the scene of the
disturbance, while stepped into hcadquar-
tiers to put our coats in the locker. then
walked to the levec, and on leaving Sixth
street | heard disturbance below the
Planters House. As | advanced met n
man running in front of the Planters
House. told him was an officer, and
putting my hand on him ordered him TO
stop. This he refused to do and struck at
me with knife. then tried to defend
myself with my billy, and to keep him off
me slowly retrcated eight or ten feet, call
ing on him to stop, three or four times.
While thus retreating stumbled over
something, falling to my knees. Seeing
that could not defend myself with my
billy. while in this position | drew nv re-
volver and fired. The deceased staggered.
and with the exclamation "Oh." fell to the
ground will further add that while |
was in the act Of falling deceased was so
close upon me that his knife cut my left
coat sleeve. My impression was when
met him that he had killed or wounded
officers Cain and Axley and was trying to
make his escape; and being violent
" attacked by him, | consid-
cred myself, and really was, in
great bodily danger, and did not fire until
| felt assured that my life was in great
peril.
Mr.. Wilson's testimony closed the in
quiry. We have aimed at nothing more
than an intcllibible synopsis of the evi.
dcncc but it will not be difficult matter
for the reader to CLEAN from it that the de-
ceased, Joseph Wyman, was a despcrado
and that his killing was unquestionably
case OF justifablc homicide. The verdict
OF the jury is to the same effect and is in
the following words:
1--WE, the jurors, sworn to inquire of the
death of Joseph Wyman, on oath, do find
hut h.n -, a., Al a
pistol in the hands Of Officer George Viii
son, while in the discharge of his duty;
that said Wilson was fully justified in firing
said shot, and we deem the shootin. of said
deceased an act Of selt.defcnsc. We there.
fore unanimously agree that said Wilson be
