Great Excitement Over the Arrest Of a
Supposed Murd Observation-Disclosures OF
the Affair
CoRYDoN, Ind, January 20-Our usually
quiet and rural village has been thrown into
great excitement by the arrest of John
ShIreman and his wife, upon affidavit fled
by the brother of Mr.. Windeli charging
them with the murder, in September last, of
Henry II. Windell, the former husband of
Mrs Shireman. The facts of this curious
case are about these: Some time last Sep
TENDER the community in which Mr.. Windell
resided, which Is some six miles south of
Corydon, was startled by a report that
Mr.. w. had hung himself to an apple
tree in his orchard, and was found there by
the family after his death. The coroner was
summoned, a jury impanneled, and after a
casual Investigation of the facts, found YER
dict to the effect that the deceased had come
to his death at his own hands by hanging
Some of the neighbors who called at the house
observed that the appearance Of the corpse was
no. such as usually follows death by strang
ulatiOn. and such fact was talked of in the
neighborhood. 1t was also whispered about
that improper relations had existed between
Mrs. Windell and Shireman, who was young
man living in Mr.. WIS family. Matters went
on thus until some weeks ago. when Shire
man and Mrs. w. were married. This
caused the former rumors and charges to be
repeated, and was claimed to be
a confirmation of the rumors as to the I'M
proper intimacy. 1t now began to be
r1nored that Windell has been foully dealt
with by his wife and her alleged paramour,
Shireman, and that be came to his death at
their hands, by poison administered by
them, and that mis- being placed in the posi-
ton in which he was represented to have
been found, with a rope around his neck
fastened to the apple tree, was the work of
these parties. done TO conceal their crime.
Upon these rumOrs, with such other facts
and circumstances as could be gained, Mr..
SIS brother filed the affidavit which caused
the arrest OF the parties The preliminary
examination is set for Wednesday the 22d.
Great excitement prevails in the county
over the unnatural and horrible crime, and
a determination exists to probe the matter
to the bottom. and if the parties are guilty
meet out to them the punishment they so
richly deserve.

Farm Accounts.

When a farmer. at the end of the year,
settles his store account, pays his smith bill,
with that OF his teacher, doctor, and preacher,
which tax is generally in the rear, and, If
anything is left from the amount realized
by the sale of produce, that amount is called
the profit; but if it falls short, then he has
made nothing. This is not a correct esti-
mate of results, for the bills have no connec-
ton with the cost of planting, except the
smith bills. A merchant doing business on
a capital of $40 0O00, wanting to obtain the
result of the years operation, taks an in
ventory OF the unsold stock, the amount of
available accounts, with money on hand
after paying his store rent, his clerk hire,
interest paid on borrowed money, and other
expenses incidental to his business, but does
not include the expense of supporting bis
family, which might, if extravagant, absorb
all the profits, though it might be 30 or 10
per cent on the capital. There are large
number of farmers whose real estate, with
all the working stock and farming imple-
ments, can not be valued at more than
50 00O; yet. by their prohts realized, have
raised, clothed, and educated from five to
ten children, which to do this, must make a
profit of 80 to 90 per cent. on the capital.

Manure the orchard.

The orchard is the only part OF the farm
that is expected to yield two crops, and SO
long as .he practice prevails of taking off e
crop of hay or grain in addition to one of
fruit, so long shall we have complaints of
bitter rot and other evils. Not only should
the land be given up to the trees, when of
bearing age, but these should be MANFRED,
if not every year, at least every third year
not by putting a small heap next to the
trunk, but by spreading a good dressing
over the whole surface. If the season
allows, this may be spread now and turned
under by shallow blowing. If the ground is
frozen, draw out the manure and leave it
until spring.

Business n all branches of commerce has
been fairly active during the entire week, and
prices have undergone but few changes.
GRAIN.
During the carly p;It of the week wheat was
rather duh, and but yesterday better feeling
was manifested, and quotations were a shade
higher. The corn market was more lively to-
day. owing to the break in the pool arrange

on Saturday.

The market has shown considerable actfvi-

Until quite recently fall wheat has always
been preferred for grinding INTO -four for
bread. It grows the slowest and is longest
on the ground, and the proportion of gluten
is much greater than in wheat sown in the

of an animal, and when she gets SO old as to
be CT little value for milk, she is of no value
for beef. Beef" he says, ''at the end of the

case, for when the animal is raised for beef

being required" He advises the union Of

RUM AND PoLITICs.-In the May

Cushing dwells upon the fact, to which
we believe Joseph Cook was the first to
call attention in an address made ten
years ago before Massachusetts, Tenn
perance Society, that the last half GEN.
fury in America has greatly changed the
relative populations of city and country i;
that cities have become greater and
towns relatively less. 1t is also affirmed
that political power has changed more
than population !" that in our chief cities
1.-The liquor traffic can defeat any party or
candidate that oppose it, and that 1.-THE
power to defeat is the power to control"
Referring to the political methods which
obtain to cities, it is declared that Votes
are not often bought with money, but
money is often placed in the hands of
agents to be used at their discretion.
Liquor dealers are the best agents. not
because they are more willing or more
wicked. but because they are more able
to do the work. They know their men
better, can reach them easier, can buy
them cheaper. They do not buy with
the money. They pocket the money,
and buy with whisky, lager. and the
other influences of their occupation.

Temperance.
STALWARTS.

The cause of temperance needs more
of the s'stalwarts," men and women who
not only believe in and practice total
abstinence but are actively engaged in
the work which the cause demands of
them at the present time. A great bat
tie is to be fought and recruits are call
ed for to fill up the ranks of the army.
We can expect no help from those who
are accustomed to drink intoxicating
beverages of any kind. Among those
who abstain there are too many who pre-
fer to stay at home rather than enlist
and go into the fight. Their voices are
never heard in public in opposition to
the liquor traffic and they seldom visit
the places where the cause is discussed.
From this class come the frequent criti-
cisms which we hear upon the methods
pursued. One scouts Mr. Moody's theory
that the gospel is the best and only thor
ough cure for the liquor appetite, and
that this cure is often instantaneous and
complete. 1.-THE days of miracles are
passed." they aver. But are they ?
Many facts show that Mr.. Moody's meth
cd is we'll grounded and substantial.
Another complains of societies where the
pledge is used as means of reformation,
and not enough dependence placed upon
the power of the Holy Spirit to save a

himself from temperance meetings be-
cause too much is said about prohibition.
Still another because not enough is said
about it. These complaints are fire.
quently made by those who know very
little about the way the work is carried
on because they have no means of judg-
ing correctly.
The true friends of temperance in
contrast with these fault finders, believe
in work, in fighting, with variety of
weapons. They bid every branch of the
service welcome. They do not despise
the light weapons of the infantry and
cavalry, made of argument and moral
suasion, at the same time they place
great reliance in hard struggle, upon
the heavy artillery of the prohibitionists.
In short, the stalwart temperance men
of the country are those who have enlist
ed for the war, who do not propose to
retire until the war is over, and who
are glad of help from any direction and
in any form, provided it is sincere and
honest. These men are generally
agreed among themselves in adopting
gospel temperance and prohibition as
the basis of action, ard they propose to
fight it out on that line. The stalwarts
are increasing in number. but there is
room for more.
