In the neighhoyhood Of Fluvinio
Courthouse, Va, lately, n mar named
William lIoucalns, Il man Of some
prominence, murdered his wife, moth
cr.in-law and child IN the most hrutal
manner. He commenced the bloody
work (using an ax,) by dealing the
first blow to his wife, innicl;ng n horri-
bic wound on her head extending from
ear to ear, killing her instantly. He
then attacked his little boy. The
mother in-law intcrfcrcd and imploicd
him to desist, when he turned upon her
with the ax, knocking her down, ana
then proceeded to the horrible work
Of butchering his own child. He
chopped his head off and threw the
body under the table. Then, just as
his mother in-law was rcviving, he
turned upon her, striking her several
blows upon the breast and head, chops
ping her into an almost u~nrccogniza
bic mass. Iiouchin's son, little lei
low Of seven, made his appearance in
the room while this horrible bulchcry
was going on, and selling his infant
brother lying in the cradle sought
safety in the woods. l~Ionchins look
ed for them, but failing to find them.
went into the %rarlor, and left n letter
50, Ing he had intended the murder for
some time; that his mother in law
drove him to it that she had torment
&C. him to death had poisoned his
wife and children against him. and
closed by requesting his friends to
pick up his fragments. After writing
the letter, he went to his %barnyard,
seated himself upon n kcg Of blasting
powder and smoked his pipe. After
finishing his smoke, he touched off his
internal machine through the hung
hole of the kcg. A fearful noise fol-
the explosion, attracting his
u~eighbors 10 the spot. An invcstiga
ton of the premises disclosed n por-
ton OF Houchins' body up in the
of a tree, forty feet from the
ground. the head oil top OF the barn,
md portions Of the trunk and legs in
other portions of the harnyard. The
leg contained forty pounds OF blasting
% wder, which had been purchased by
Iouchins for blasting purposes.

In the northern part of Georgia, the in
habjtauts have such uubounded confidence
in the celebrated Liver Medicine diScoy-
cred by DR.. A.. Q. Simmons nearly forty
years aoo, that many II them have it con
stantly by them, and chew it instead OF
t ,bacco. They are noted for their robust
health, and no doubt this practice has
much to do with mating them so. This
medicine is a gentle cathnriic, perfectly
harmless. and is recommended for the cure
OF all liver diseases.

THE STATE DEBT.
Another Plan of Settlement Suggested

A correspondent Of the Nashville
Banner, writing upon the State debt
question, suggests the following pIaC
of settlement with the hondholdcrs:
If the Democratic party Of Tcnncs
see expect or desire to elect the nomi-
nee Of the August Convent II tor Gov
error, The following sentiments must
be embraced in the party platform;
First-Opposition to the levy OF
any taxes ave to provide for the run
ming expenses Of the State govern
mcnt.
Scrond-Opposi,ion to any settle
ment Of the State debt that will give
the bondholdcrs additional security for
their bonds, such ~ the interest cou-
pons being made receivable for taxes,
or any kind of hocus pocuS that slips
the %hondholGer in rs II preferred cred
ilor.
Third--Must demand, first, search
ing in !esligation by the incoming Leg
i%slature into the debt-thc throwing
over of all illegal and fraudulent bonds
and all outstanding bonds that occupy
the rooms of illegal bonds that have
been paid into the Treasury and can
celed, II they can he asccrtatncd, and
the ompromisc ofthc balance. Shonld
this be found impracticable, then favor
the sealing Of the debt in accordance
with the equities that exist in behalf Of
the people and in keeping with their
ability and willingness to pay.
After the terms are thus agreed to
between the Legislature aud the bond
holder. let the matter bc submitted to
the people for their ratification or re
lection. II ratified, let the Legislature
take steps to carry out the settlement;
if rejected, let the b%ondholders under
stand that their claims against the peo-
pie are finally and forever repudiatcd.
