The AGES OF PREsIDENTS--Presi'
dent-elect James A. Garfield was AZ
wears old the 10Th of November.
When he takes his seat in the White
House next March he will be the third
youngest President this Republic has
ever had. Grant was the youngest,
having lacked one month of Al when
inauguraled. Franklin Pierce was
four days younger than Garfield will be
next March, when he was inauguratcd.
Two other Presidents were i'll their 5Oth
year when inaugurated-James h. Polk
and Millard Fillmore, but the one was
seventeen days and the other FIVE
months older than Garfield will be.
Tine next youngest was John Tyler,
who was over 81 when he succeeded
TO Harrison's barely begun term Of
Office.
Abraham Lincoln was SO years old,
and Martin Van Buren, and r. Il.
HAYES not quite So. Andrew johnson
lacked eight months Of being 81, and
George Washington had passed that
aye when inaugurated. Oddly enough,
The four consecutive Presidents, Thom-
as Jefferson, James Madison, James
Monroe and John Quincy Adams, were
each in their 5sth year when Inaugural
ted. Zachary Taylor and Tippecanoe
Harrison were Is and IS respectively
when they took the oath of office, and
neither lived to FIJI out bis term. In
point of age James Buchanan came
between the two, being in his Goth
year when inaugurated. The average
age Of Presidents at inauguration has
been 81 wears.

TRIPLE MURDER BY MANIAC IN
ILLINols.-A triple murder was COM
mitted by an insane man Wednesday
morning, near Chester, Illinois Lonis
Tockstern was yesterday adjujged in
sane and ordered TO be sent tolhe Jack
sonville asylum Thursday night. Two
guards kept him at the hotel. The next
morning, when water was brought 10
him to wash, he dashed it in the guards
face, broke through the front window
of the room and ran away. About a
quarter Of a mile from the town is the
house of Thomas Ryan, aged 6S years,
a widowed daughter living with him,
with her two children, girl twelve and
boy younger. Entering this house
naked he ordered the inmates to kneel
and pray, as they had but fifteen min
utes to live. All obeyed but the little
boy, who escaped and alarmed the
ueigbors. When they reached the
house they found Mr.. Ryan and his
daughter with their skulls crushed by
an axe and the headless body Of the lit
tie girl lying on the floor The maniac
rushed on TO the next house, swinging
over his head the bloody head OF the
child he bad murdered, and, finding On
" a servant girl there, ordered her to
! kneel. She screamed, and help arrlv-
| ing, he was overpowered and secured.
DIR. MmLER.-A case which excited
| a good deal of interest has been decided
in Judge Birds Circuit Court in liar
risonburg. A writ Of habeas corpus
was sued out by "Dr." John Miller, at
Harrisonbrrg. a somewhat celebrated
professional curer of many of the ills 10
which humanity is heir by the laying on
of hands. 1t seems the doctor" has
not heretofore anywhere been assessed
and required to take out license fol-
the practice of his art, as he has always
left it optional with his patients TO pay
or not, as they chose, never making any
specific charge. The officers OF the law
at Harrisonburg, however, decided that
he was properly assessable with the tax
for license; and as he refused TO pay he
was placed under arrest on Saturday at
ternoon, and would have been sent to
prison but for the nominal bail which
he gave to appear before the court on
Monday morning. After hearing OF
the case and arguments OF counsel the
court decided that he was properly as
sessable, thus settling the principle that
q party is liable to be taxed for license
as physician who attempts to cure dis
eases of humanity, whether he do it on
the score of benevolence, as "Dr," Mil
Ter processes to do, or whether he do it
as a regularly endorsed physician.

The supposed Biddeford Murder

A coroners jury to investigate the case OF
John L. Goodwin who died in Biddeford I'M
der suspicious circumstances last week met
Saturday and examined three witnesses viz:
Henry Goad, John Ackerly and Philander
Rogers. The examination was made with
closed doors and it is impossible to give the
exact testimony. Henry Gould, one of the
witnesses, was friend of Goodwin's, and was
with him that night. They were at different
places rafting for turkeys, drinking, etc.
About o'clock Gould went almost home with
Goodwin. He went with him as far as his Good
win's) house On Cults street. He left him
right opposite his house. only on the otherside
of the street. Gould then went home himself
and knows nothing further about him. John
M. Ackerly says he saw Goodwin come out of
Forrest Johnson's saloon little before
o'clock and start toward his (Goodwin's)
house. He was not at that time very drunk,
but to all appearances he was sober enough to
get home all right Seth Goodwin, brother OF
the unfortunate man, says there was only one
track through the yard leading from the
street to his door. 1t will be remembered
that there was light snow on the ground that
night and tracks could be easily seen. These
are the facts far as it is possible to find out
at present. The fact that there was no blood
out,ide of the door leading to the street, and
that there was only one track from the street
to the door leading into the house, seems to
favor the theory that he fell down stairs, and
received his injuries from the fall. There
was blood at the foot of the stairs and on the
banister leading up stairs, also on the knob OF
the door leading into the room where he was
