BLOODY WORK IN LoUDoUN-A most
brutal and horrible crime was perpetra-
ted near Gum Spring, in this county ,on
Tuesday, the 26th of October, by which
tie lives of two persons were sacrificed.
1t seems that colored man, whose
name our informant could not exactly
remember, lived with his wife and his
wife's sister near the village of Gum
Spring, On the morning of the day in
dicated difficulty sprung up between
him aud his sister-in-law, which resulted
in his assaulting her with murderous
weapon in the shape of large knife
used for cutting off corn. He pursued
her into the yard, where, after intlicting
upon her person numerous and serious
cuts and bruises, unit! he supposed life
was extinct, he went into the house,
and, taking his gun, discharged it in
the air. He then reloaded the weapon,
and proceeding TO within a few feet of
where his victim lay weltering in her
blood, he placed the muzzle of the gun
under his own chin and fired, the load
passing through his mouth, tearing off
the tongue, and lodging in the upper
part of the jaw. While in that condi
ton he observed signs of life in his dy-
ing sister in-law, when with his murder
Gus passion, strong even in death, he
reached around until his hand rested
upon large stone, with which he struck
her severe blow in the face. About
this time the fcnd's wife made her APP
pearance on the bloody scene, and see
ing her husband reaching for another
stone, she anticipated his movements,
and Selling rock dealt the PROSTATE
man a heavy blow on the head, and Thus
put an end to all further struggles. DR..
Laws was sent for, but his services were
unnecessary-both darkies were dead

20 InE MOTHER RIFLES TIE WORLD
1t is hard for q young mother, who has
not yet overcome the wayward tenden-
cies of her own youthful nature, TO real
ize the influence she exerts overher own
htle ones, She is constantly surrounded
by critical imitators, who copy her NOR
ais and manners. AS the mother is, so
are her sons and daughters. lfa family
of children is blessed with an Intelligent
mother, who is delicate and refined IN
her manners. and docs not consider 1t
necessary TO be one woman in draw
ing room and an entirely different per
sou in everyday life, but who is true
mother, aud always tender, charming
woman, you will invariably sec her
habits of speech and perfect manners
repeated in her children. Great, rough
men aud noisy, busy boys will always
tone down their voices aud step lightly
and try to be more mannerly when she
stops 10 give them kind word or a
pleasant smile for true mother will
never fail to say or do all the p lcasant
things that she can that will iu any way
help or lit up and cheer those whose
lives are shaded with care and toll. The
mother of today rules the world OF to-
morrow.

The largest land animal which is
known to have existed on the globe has
been described by Prof. Marsh. Its
name is AtLantosaurus inanaanis. The
thigh bone of the monster is over eight
feet long, with thickness at the larger
end of twenty five inches. A COMPARE
son of this bone with the femur of a
crocodile would indicate that the fossil
saurian, if of similar proportions, had
= total length Of us feet. That the
reptile was at least 100 feet long when
alive is probable. The other bones of
che animal which have been found are
proportionately gigantic. One of the
caudal vetebre measures more than six
teen inches in transverse diameter.
