GUILTY.
Parker Likely to Swing.

AS soon as the Criminal Court
opened this morning it was announced
that the jury in the case Of Charles
Duncan, alias VIM. Parker, charged
with killing Mrs, w. G. G. Foster,
had come to an agreement. When
presenting themselves before Judge
Ray, it was further promulgated that
they had found the defendant guilty
of murder in the first degree. This
consigns Duncan to the gallows unless
by some bubble or quirp Of the law
he manages to elude this awful result.
His attorneys at once upon the finding
asked the court for a new trial on the
ground that newly discovered testi-
mony had been made since the case
closed. 1t was further said that afi-
davits would be made within a day or
two showing the points within the ex-
pected new developments. The annals
of crime exhibit no instance so attro-
ciously cruel and outrageous as was the
murder of Mrs. Foster. All the
circumstances in the case indicate
that the negro Parker, assisted by
Chas. Woods, perpetrated the horrible
crime, and all who know the details
regard the verdict as a righteous one.
1t is also believed that the saddle
colored lying wench, Maria Alexan-
der, was fully cognizant of the inten-
tious of Woods aud Parker, and some
believe that she was actually in the
room when the killing was done. Mrs.
Foster wore a heavy gold chain and a
fine watch, the gilt Of her deceased
husband, and this, with other valuable
jewelry in her possession, is supposed
to have excited the cupidity Of the
murderers and i%nstigated them to the
bloody deed.

have to be inaugurated at the Island
or the Island prison will be abolished.

Sudden Death.

A cOlored woman named Rboda
Markham, sixty.fve years OF age. fell
out of a skiff while crossing WOLF
river last Thursday. Her body was
wet by the accident, but she was lifted

her face, the rescuers being in the
skiit with her at the time, yet the old
woman never spoke in this life again.

wretch showed his guilt by hanging
his british head and not looking up.
A large crowd had gathered about the
station-house, and a few expressions
caused it to be deemed best to trans
fer johnson to the county Jail without
delay. This was accordingly done,
and no examination Of the circum-
stance will take place for the present.
In the meantime the suffering child
was again gathered in the arms of the
kind hearted officer and carried to a
hack in company with her mother.
AS they passed forth the crowd gazed
on the pitiful and heart-touching
spectacle. 1t was well calculated to
excite commiseration in behalf of the
poor laccrated girl from the most
c%allous heart, and several present were
noticed to be touched to tears blythe
sight. At the same time the indigna-
ton against johnson was so intense
hat it is believed had he been near
the crowd would have torn him limb
from limb.
The girl is very seriously injured.
Her physician, DR.. r. L. Laski, who
has volunteered his services free of
charge, says she is in a dangerous con-
dition, though he hopes to save her
from death. He also says she is torn
and mangled in a frightful manner,
and that the parts injured are much
inHamed-even the mouth of her
womb, as well as the vagina, is en-
larged and swollen to a degree calcula-
ted to excite his surprise and sympa-
thy, as well as to command his best
skill to afford relief.
The perpetrator Of the diabolical
crime on the delicate child talked
freely to the officer about the affair
while on his way over the river. His
only excuse was hat while laboring
under the influence of liquor the
child's mother had consented that she
should go to his fshing-boat and take
supper with him. johnson did not
allow her to eat the supper, but threw
her down on the river bank and out
ragged her person when none we're near
enough to hear her feeble cries for
help,
The case is one of the most pitiful
ever known. The parents of Lizsie
Sherwood are very poor, aud her little
sister, not much more than an infant.
is now sick and in a dying condition.
Her father has been out of work for a
good while. The family lived for a
period near the suburbs, back of the
city, and they only moved to the fiat
boat, near the foot of Beal street, a
few days ago,
A man named John Porter, a com
panion and sort of partner of john
son, is in prison, charged with having
aided and Allotted in his escape, by
rowing him across the river.
The family, of which the injured
child is a member, came to this city
from Smithland, KY, a few weeks ago,
and they have been unable to earn
anything since their arrival, conso-
quently are in very straitened circum,
stances, if, indeed, they are not really
needy. The man johnson was form
orly a bridge carpenter, and was Grip
pied by a fall while in pursuance of
his calling.

exerv ven manaeei dair1-farm roofs

every well managed dairy roots
some kind are raised and fed about as
regularly as hay, and the testimony is
that, if they do not greatly diminish the
ration of hay, they increase the amount
of milk, keep the cows in good health,
and add greatly to the value Of the
manure. The only question is, What
roots are the most prOfitable?" In an
swer to this, we would say that variety
of roots is desirable. The common En-
glish turnip is raised very economically,
# one only knows how, and it makes an
excellent feed for stock in the early part
of winter, or until the man2olds are
ripe. These are also easily raised, so
easily that a neighbOr who once tried
them on our recommendation COM
planned that he was overwhelmed with
a mangold blessing, and had not room
to store his product. The remedy for
such a calamity is to bury them in q pit,
where they will keep till spring. Sweles
will keep till summer, and these are the
roots to raise for late feeding. Carrots
are good for all kinds of stock, especially
horses; but their culture is attended
with so much backache that we do not
expect to see them popular with farm
ers, except as they raise them at fancy
price for breeders of fancy horses.
Corn fodder and millet make good
mixed rations, whether fed in summer
or winter. The former needs no rec
ommendation; has made itself popular
by its merits in spite of condemnation
by some of the doctors of agriculture,
and the latter is slowly winning favor.
We have not space to mention other
feeds which would serve to make va
riety for stock. Corn meal, of course,
will always hold a prominent place
among mixed ratiOns. 1t is Mol food
for fattening, but for growth should be
mixed with bran, giving the latter in the
ratio of two to one to all young stock.
Bran has the merit not only of making
bones, but of making a manure, rich in
saline matter, and should form large
component part in all mixed rations. 1t
will Improve the stock and fatten the
farm.-Alerander Hyde, in the Nev York
Times.
