Discovery ofHfs criml

Remarkable Discovery of His Crim4
 The following is communicated to Nature by Mir. H. N. Moseley, on the authority of General Sir. J. H. Lefroy, late Governor of the Bermudas
 Tn the autumn of 1878 man committed terrible crime in Somerset, which was for some time involved in deep mystery. His wife, handsome and decent mulatto woman, disappeared suddenly and entirely from sight after going home from church on Sunday, October 20. Suspicion immediately fell up on the husband, clever young fellow of about thirty, but no trace of the missing woman was left behind, and there seemed strong probability that the crime would re- main undetected. On Sunday, October 2, however, week after the woman had disap- peared, some SomervilIe boatmen, looking out towards the sea, as is their custom, were struck by observing in the Long Bay Channel the surface of which was rufied by slight breeze, a long streak of calm, such as to use their illustration, cask of oil usually diffu- es when in the water. The feverish anxiety about the missing won4an suggested some strange connection between this singular calm and the mode of her disappearance. Two three days after-why not sooner I cannot tell you-her brother and three other men went out to the spot where it was observed, and from which it had not disappeared since Sunday, and with series of fish-hOok ar ranged along long line dragged the bottom
 
 Shifting the position of the boat, they drag ged little further to the windward, and presently the line was caught. With water glasses the men discovered that 1t was caught in a skeleton, which was held down by some heavy weight They pulled on the line; something suddenly gave way, and up came the skeleton of the trunk, pelvis and legs of a human body, from which almost every yes tige of flesh had disappeared, but which, from the minute fragments remaining and the terrible stench, had evidently not lain long in the water. The husband wasa fisher man, and Long Bay Channel was a favorite fishing ground, and he calculated, truly enough that the fish would very soon destroy all means of Identification; but it never en- tered into his head that their ravages, con- bined with the process of decomposition, would set free the matter which was to write the traces of his crime on the surface of the water. The case seemed to be an exceeding ly interesting one; the calm is not mention ed in any book on medical jurisprudence that I have, and the doctors seem to have had ex- perience of such an uncommon occurrence. diver went down and found stone with rope attached, by which the body had been held down, and also portions of the scalp and of the skin of the sole of the foot, and of clothing, by means of which the body was identified. The husband was found guilty and executed.

A Happy Experience.

(From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.)
 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from Mir T. M Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. Lighthilrs ability and skill and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence.
 NEW HAVEN, July 9.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty six years had been troubled with a catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing Of late years it at- tackled my hearing, impairing it to consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience One of Dr. Lighthill's pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill efsctually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to its former perfection and acuteness know Dr. Lghthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, 50 that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthilrs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Iightnin will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession.

For upward of twenty five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, aud dis eases of the Throat Lungs and Nervous sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and 1t is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- cure and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthirs professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

Our Washington Letter.

The Democrats are very much
troubled at the healthy condition Of
the Tilden boom, and efforts to help
along Hancock and other candidates
do not seem to discourage the Tilden-
ties q bit. Nevertheless it is proba-
bly, fair to say that Tilden cannot be
nominated, although he may get the
most delegates, for the reason that
he cannot get two-thirds, which are
required to nominate in the Demo-
cratic Convention.
Senator Hill once more got up his
bill to unseat Senator Kellogg and
had it discussed. But it is so appar-
ent that some of his friends do not
take kindly to it that | think the ir-
repressible Georgian is q good deal
discouraged about it. Perhaps that
feeling is what made him threaten

what they won't do for their party

enough. But if they cannot, j

OUR RAILROAD STOCK.

EDrroR HERALp:-I understand q
proposition to sell the II. r. stock
belonging to our county at 60c, is
now before the people, and whether
it shall be sold or not is to be deter
mined by vote. Now there naturally
arises two or three questions about
hi spreposed sale. 1st Why sellat ALI
I'd. And what will it bringa Bird.
What shall we do with the money! A
condition of the proposition is to sell
at 60 cts. and the plea put forth by
the originators of this scheme is that
by 50 dispcsing of our r. r. Stock
we can .lquldate the great debt that
hangs over our heads. Were this
true the first and third questions are
already answered. But let us look
into the matter, We have heard the
cry Of hard times in our land. We
have just recovered from one Of the
most severe panics ever experienced.
During the last seven years, which
covers most of our tight places, we
have received on curl r. r. Stock a div
idend OF 3per centpe annum. But the
signs of the times indicate that pros
perityis hereandthat we may look for
something better. The increased
traffic over this road in both freight
and passengers justifies the belief
that this dividend of 3per cent will
be doubled and more than likely tri-
pied, no distant day. Now if the f.
nancial affairs of orr county are prop
erly managed, why not let us retain
this stock and let it be u source OF
profit to us. 1t will soon produce a
dividend sufficient to pay tho %iuteres
on our debt and also to help decrease
the principal.
Again, the debt of the county to be
met by this sale, if made, is represen-
ted by coupon bonds of the county,
due July LIST 1883. There are a very
few Of the Fond i olders who would
give up their bonds for gold al
par, before due. Then whaI
is to be done with the money if tht
bond holders will not surrender theil
bonds at par? As a county, we have
enough sad experience of squandered
funds. Now we believe in providing
FOR all just debts when due, but it
will be time enough three years hence
to pay this one by selling our stock,
Suppose the money be deposited in
a bank; then every time the county
needs a few dollars it will draw on
that bank and by the time the three
years have elapsed the money is gone,
also if the bond holders refuse to give
up the bonds after sale is made, we
will still be taxed to pay the interest
until the debt is due, andif sold now
we will be taxed at that time to pay
the whole debt. We would also lose
the dividend on our stock for that
time.
Eight years ago the people of this
county authorized the sale Of the
stock at par. No doubt it will
bring that long before the debt is due
AS a people having the welfare of the
county at heart, let us vote this pres
ent proposition down. This means
that we demand dollar for dollar ant
must have that much OF none.
