Our antiquarian friend, DIR. Erhard,
writes us that he has at last stirred up
the natives over his way towards
publishing some historical records OF
Bastrop county. The work has been
begun in the columns of the Advertiser,
by no less a person than Ex- Lieut..
Gov. G.. w. Jones. (The Doctor
wrote us MIR. Jones did not wish his
name known, but we think he is too
modest by half, and so feel free to dis
regard the injunction.) The first thing
proposed is to give list of the early
settlers prior to annexation. No as
sessment rolls could be found prior to
1850, and the compilers, consisting OF
a committee of old settlers, had to de-
pend on their memories and an old
merchants ledger. The worthy Doc
tor suggests that similar list be got
up in Hays county, and thinks it
might become important in possible
land suits and similar matters. His
suggestion is good one, and we should
be pleased to publish such list, it
some one competent to do so will get
il up.

seeing that in his anxiety to remove her
from among the living he had overshot

the beginning they discovered the COM

sulphureted hydrogen, which is result
of decomposition. and very soon the
grains of unabsorbed arsenic were re-
yealed. Usually such huge dose would
be thrown off the stomach Immediately
after being given, but in this case it had
remained. The states attorney was put

ed to the Lexiagton (Ky.) Transcript an
article, in which he says: "What Ash

the good Lord only knows, for her hus-
band was at the capital of the nation
more than half his time. She attended
to everything, including five sons. who,
according to their old teacher, Amos
Kendall, were not the meekest of the
lambs that gamboled at Ashland. She
managed the farm, with its crops and
live stock, her household affaire, Il
large family of children, and not few
negro servants, so well as to assist large
ly in keeping up Mr.. Clay's fortune,
which was constantly subjected to
heavy drains. She often pulled the
finest of her vegetables with her own
hands, and sent them, with butter,
milk and fruit, regularly to the
market to be sold. She often, said My
children laugh at me for selling such
things, but they never object to the

of her slaves will be judged from her
custom of rewarding them at the close

4 BLACK-HEARTED FIEND.
A S0-Called Minister Of the Gospel First
| Ruins and then Murders Il Young

A special dispatch from Rev Haven,
Conn. Oct. 8th says: Rev. Herbert FL.
Hayden, of Madison, whose recent trial
in Justices court for the murder of
Mary E. Stannard attracted the atten-
ton of the whole country, was again ar
rested this evening in Madison by
County Sheriff Byxbee upon a bench
warrant issued this noon by Judge
Hitchcock, of the superior court, upon
an information submitted by Judge
Lynde Harrison, counsel for the state,
and signed by States Atty. 0. III. Platt
He was at once brought to this city and
now lies in the county jail. This new
step in what must become one of the
most celebrated cases in criminal an
mails was not a surprise. Since Mr..
Hayden's acquittal by Justice Wilson
the case of the prosecution has rapidly
developed, and this second arrest is the
result of the discovery of new and most
important evidence. Two eminent ex-
perts, Prof NJ. G. White, of Yale medi-
cal college, and Prof. S. w. Johnson,
who holds the chair of chemistry in the
Sheffield scientific school of Yale, have
been at work upon Mary Stannard's s
stomach, and have found in it enough
arsenic to kill the whole community of
Rockland, where she lived. This, the
state claims, is the quick medicine
which Hayden told Mary he had
bought in Middletown when he met her
at the spring Tuesday noon and told
her to meet him in an hour and a half
by the big rock, where her body was
found. 1t will be remembered by those
who read the evidence that on the wit
ness-stand Hayden testified that on that
Tuesday morning in Middletown he did
buy at Tyler's drugstore an ounce of
arsenic to killrats with; that when he
got home he did not tell his wife he had
| bought it because she was afraid OF
4 poison, but put it on a beam in his barn
under the hay; that he had used none
of it, and that it must be there IN an
unbroken package. The states coun-
sci have looked for that arsenic. but
cannot find it, but the chemists have al
ready found In Mary's stomach mass
of fifty Or sixty grains of arsenic wholly
unabsorbed, to say nothing of what was
absorbed. Until Hayden, to account
for his visit to certain part of Middle
town, had to testify about buying this
arsenic, the state was ata loss as to what
poison to look for. They had decided to
look for powerful abortion medicines,
but In this were hampefed by the par
slmony of the town authorities and lack
fof authority from the state officers; but

SAYS the New York Express: The race
Of fools continues to flourish. Among
the institutions established for their es-
pecial benefit is the Mercantile Prize
Association, charming dazzling con-
cern, which advertises in the country
papers that it will give numerous prizes
with no blanks. The price of tickets is
twenty-five cents, and for this sum the
lucky purchasers are assured that they
viii secure prizes ranging in value
from 81 upwards. When the deluded
rustic, responding to the appeal, sends
his money he receives reply that he
has drawn valuable prize, which will
be sent to him on receipt of the cost of
expressage and packing. After he has
sent his second amount he hears no
more of his money or his prize. OF
course there is no such concern as the
Mercantile Prise Association, but moth
ing save experience can impress this
and other useful facts upon the bucolic
mind
