HORRIBLE MURDER
In Washington County.

IL is highly probable that there is
some connection between the murder IN
Washington county, an account OF
which from Yesterdays Pittsburgh Post,
is appended, and the supposed tragedy
at or near Short Greek. 1t is the only
possible explanation that can be had OF
the latter mysterious affair. 1t is as iol-
lows:
News was received in the city yester-
dav of a very mysterious death at Hanlln
station, little village located in Wash
ington county, on the line OF the Pan
Handle railroad, about thirty miles west
of Pittsburgh. 1t seems that Michael
Carr was found dead on Monday morn
iny about three-quartcrs OF mile west
OF that point. His skull was crushed, it
was thought, by the terrible blow
of a stone and there were marks
on the body going to show
that Carr had met his death at
the hands of some assassin. The suspl-
ciOn grew stronger, and yesterday an ln-
quest was held on the body by Justice
Walker, of Jefferson township, Washing
ton county.
A man named Marshall, who had
been on drunken spree in this city,
had taken Pan Handle train for his
home near Hanlin on Sunday night.
He was elected from the tram at Col
lier for his disorderlness, but jumped
on the train again as it started. Again
he became noisy and was second time
elected. This time Marshall was
elected at the point near where the
mutilated body of Carr was found.
These and other facts brought out i'll
the corOner's inquest lead to the sus-
picion that Marshall was implicated
with the death of Carr, and special
telegram received from llanlin last
evening announced that Marshall has
been arrested on an information made
by Mrs. Carr, widow of the murdered
man. The coroner's jury, however,
returned a verdict to the effect that
Carr met his death from injuries re-
ceived on the head from causes UNI
known"
Carr was a middle-aged man, and was
employed on gravel train on the Pam
Handle railroad. He leaves wife and
several children. He was steady, in
dustrious man.

Ladies. Delicate and Feeble.

Those languid. tiTesome sensations,
causing YOU to feel scarcely able to be
ON your feet; that constant drain that is
taking from your system all its former
elasticity: driving the bloom from your

vital forces, rendering you irritable and
fretful, can easily be removed by the
use of that marvellous remedy, Hop Bit
ters. Irregularities and distractions OF
vonr system are relieved at once, while
the special cause of periodical pain are

The Hope Of the South.

Small farms and diversified labor
sre the great needs Of the South.
Our section will become more thrifty
and prosperous as soon as the huge
plantations are divided into small
farms, owned and occupied by indus
trious laborers, who become more
substantial, law-abiding citizens as
soon as they become owners Of the
sOil.-[ Memphis Appeal.
Nothing truer than this was ever
said of the South. But the Appeal
should go farther and remind Its
readers that nothing but the most
absolute freedom for political belief
md social customs will ever induce
the emigration to the South of men
who make the industrious small farm
=rs which the South so much needs.
It does not matter whether these
small farmers are Democrats or not;
they will not go South until there is
freedom there. Nor viii the poor
whites in the South ever deveIope in

ostracism, and make schOoI-hoUses

Dickinson Co., Kan, Nov. 4, 1879.
EDITOR NEws:-I found some former
Highlanders a few days ago, relatives Of
Mrs. Woodland, Of Belfast. There was q
reunion Of Ohioans in our county recently,
which was a very pleasant affair.
We have been much discouraged THIS
year on account Of partial failure Of erous.
still there is enough, and to spare. But
farther West there is suffering. Wagons
are coming through to this and other
counties for supplies. The farther one
goes toward the Colorado line the less
rainfall, and It is questionable whether
the western third Of this State has
had rain enough, or viii have enough for
years to come TO produce crops. "a word
to the wise is sufficient" Itis no chfld's
play to settle a rainless region Of country.
Kansas has a delightful climate-almost
perfection in that line-but it costs a great
deal to live till one can grow crops in new
land.
The portion Of country where we live
has been settled about II years, and many
farmers have made themselves good homes.

There is good prospect fora railroad
through this portion Of the county, from
Council Grove to SaIina. If Il should not
cost the farmers too much it viii be
grand thing for the country, since there is
a great deal Of land here for sale, and the
railroad will enhance its Falue.

Kansas is wide awake and going ahead
too.
The fall wheat is the finest thathas been

coming, to occupy and open up new
farms, while there is room for many more.
