Major John II. Dennis, who went on as
Presidential messenger from Nevada will
spend the winter chiefly in Boston. The

to be looking better than at any time in its
history. Superintendent Robinson. il the

The Body of an Old Lady
Weighing Il Thousand
Pounds.

Quincy is little village on the line OF
Logan and Shelby counties, Ohio, and
numbers some very intelligent people
among it's inhabitants. Seeking out Dir.
w. V. Specie and Mr. VIM. Kellison, Il
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer learned the particulars of the fol
lowing singular story in that neighbor
hood:
Mr.. kellison's mother visited him sew
eral years ago, coming from Illinois.
Her son, as in duty bound, gave a boun-
tiful dinner in honor of the event. He
says that his mother ate very heartily,
so much so in fact that the next day she
was taken suddenly i'll, and after few
hours Illness died. Mr.. kellison, who
is an intelligent farmer, had his mother
buried in a rhinestone gravelly" knoll
on his farm. Five years aftcrward, on
selling the farm he was compelled to
remove her remains, when it was dis
covered that the body had turned to
solid stone, and it took a dozen men
with ropes and pulleys to drag the re-
mains from the grave.
The old lady was seventy years of age,
in good flesh, and weighed about one
hundred and thirty pounds when she
died. When exhumed the petrifaction
was perfect and the only part of hel
body lacking is a small portion of the
left ala OF the nose. Some idea of hel
weight may be conceived when it is
stated, and is fact, that it took two
horses and a wagon to remove her
The weight of the body is now estima-
ted by good judges to be at least one
thousand pounds. The remains have
been laid away in Prospect Graveyard
Quincy, Ohio, where they now are, but
Mr.. Kellison promised them to a scien.
titic gentleman present, who intends tt
present them to one of the Medica
Musuems of the State.

A Scene for Tears.

Rochester Union and Advertiser.


Reporters see so much Of the lights
and shadows, good and evil, OF life, that
they in time seem to lose that sensitive
ness to the misery Of others which peo--
pie in other walks of life feel, and
record instances of joy and misery with
equal indifference. Now and then,
however, they ascertain facts that stir
them to Indignation, and such Il case
was met with recently in the Office of
the County Overscers OF the Poor.
Policeman Burns the other night
found an old woman at the Central
Depot, who had no money to pay tor
shelter, and she was taken to the York
House and given food and bed. Friday
morning she was taken charge OF by the
Overseer of the Poor. She related a
story, with every appearance OF speak
ing the truth, that may without eXag-
gelatiOn be said to recount an instance
of as gross filial misconduct as ever dis
graced son. She said her name was
Jane Kidd Ncwberry, and that she is
"fOur-score and five years Old" That
she was born IN County Armagh, Ire
land, where her family settled aft the
battle of the Boyne, they going to
Ireland from Scotland.
She came to this country many years
ISO w I'LL ilCl lbtHllS ttlIt IIiSJ Ccttt\ISSt'
, The immediate cause OF her coming to
this city is that some weeks ago she left
Fall River, Mass, and went to visit her
| only living son, Robert Newberry, Of
Bradford, Tecumseh county,, Ontario.
| She stopped with her son Only y week,
| when, she says, he turned her out OF
doors one morning, and told her to go
back to Fall River, without providing
| her with means to pay her fare. She
was rather poorly clad, and said that
her sons wife took her good shawl and
gave her in exchange shawl owned by
former wife of Newberry, he having
had three, the first of whom had hanged
herself. She said that her son is quite
rich, has good farm, well stocked, in
Bradford. She thinks he bought the
farm with money sent to her by her son
Thomas, who went to California, and
while coming back was killed by In
dians. She said all her children but
Robert were good, and that he was OF a
bad disposition always all OF them but
he are dead. Mrs: Newberry expressed
gratitude to Mrs. Early, OF Bradford, for
sheltering her when her son turned her
away, and said, with tears in her eyes,
that she never was dependent Oh any
one, having worked in a linen mill until
eight years ago in Fall River, and there
saved money. Some of her grandchil-
dren live there, and they will treat her
kindly when she returns. She thinks
her son ought to be put in prison for
"eight weeks " for his inhuman treat
ment of her, and there are few who will
say that if her statement is true eight
weeks would be any too long to put
such rascal where he would do the
most good.

To the Point.
lThibpdauy Sentinel.

The n. @. States raises another howl
about the calling of an extra session OF
the Legislature, contending that Gau-
treaux's defalcation furnishes ample
grounds for the assembling of the Leg
islature to grant a new charter and new
officers for the City. Well, an election
for city officers is soon to take place.
Let them elect honest men to fill the
chairs of office. Why did New Orleans
elect boy from Bayou LafOurche. to
one of its most important offices, when
there was plenty of old residents OF New
Orleans, tried and true men, who should
have been selected to such a position
instead of boy from the country who
could not have secured 90 votes for any
office on earth in the parish in which he
was raised.
Suppose the Legislature meets and
passes a new charter, will it make things
better? When the citizens will not reg
lister and take enough interest in cleo
tions to elect honest men, will not the
same kind of candidates be chosen
under new charter as have been
chosen heretofore?
Let the honorable, honest and tried
citizens Of New Orleans exhibit some
spirit in the management of city affairs
then we in the country might say, call
an extra session."

On the 22d of last month melonchol

On the 22d Of last month a melancholy
marriage ceremony was celebrated in
the Jail of Madrid, Some days previ-
onsly 3 young man named Alvarez
Aliva and his mistress, with whom he
had lived for several years, were tried
fer murder in the Criminal Tribunal of
the Palacio de Justiz, and, having been
proven guilty, were sentenced, the for
mer to death by the garOte, the latter to
ten years imprisonment, with hard
labor. Shortly after their condemna-
ton they craved permission of the au-
thorities to be united in matrimonv ere
the dread sentence Of the law should be
carried into effect, in order that their
only child, little five years old, should
be legitimized. Their petition was
granted, and the Jail chaplain pro-
nonnoed the blessing of the church upon
their union on the morning of the day
appointed for Alvarez's execution.
Having duly exchanged rings and pro-
nounced vows of fidelity e'till death
should part them," they took an eternal
and affecting leave of one another, after
which the bride was removed to the
scene of her punishment, and the bride
groom was conducted to the condemned
cell, where, having confessed his sins
and received absoluton, he was pinion-
ed and conveyed to the scaffold. A few
minutes later he had ceased to live.
Surely no grlmmer eXpiatiOn of capital
offense has ever been suffered by the
most atroci0us of criminals than 10 be
inexonorably strangled On his wedding
morning by the public executioner.

A horrible scene occurred at Winches-
ter, Virginia, last Monday, which is thus
recited in a Especial tc the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
'While Uoups' circus Was making its
usual parade Michacc,, Drayton the, hye-
ma tamer, was in the den with the ami
mails and chanced to turn his head
toward the crowd for moment. The
animals at once jumped upon him and
before he could strike one of them with
his barbed rod had got him down and
were literally eating his vitals. The in
furiated beasts had him by the throat,
leg and stomach, and it did not seem
like over a minute to the Mortified spec
tators before the unfortunate man was
mass of quiverins flesh being tossed
about the cage by the infuriated ami
mails. Drayton was muscular and ath-
letic man. He made very bold resis-
tance, and several times attempted to
rise to his feet. During the whole OF
this terrible struggle for his life he was
cool, and once or twice called to the
animals in the commanding tones they
were in the habit of hearing, but they
did not heed him. Men, women and
children tainted at the sickening sight
Some of the circus attaches succeeded
in getting the mans torn body from the
cage, but not in time to save his life. He
| will die.'

Cotton Worms Exterminatcd.
IN. o. Country Visitor. !


Pyretlrum, or the pulverized leaves
and flowers OF plant which Is said to
be botanically related to the common
chrysanthemum of our gardens, and
which is commonly known as the fall
pink" has for the past year been sub
jected to a series of experiments by
Professor Riley, Chief of the Eutomolo-
gcal Commission of the Department of
the Interior, at Washington, for the
purpose of asceltaining its power as an
insecticide, and it's availability for the
destruction of the cotton worm.
The result Of the Professors expert
ments, referred to above, have proven
it's capablity to destroy Ground Beetles,
Locusts, Crickets, Flies, Mosquitoes and
Guats and he is now continuing them
Oh the cotton worm and other insects.
He is thus far fully impressed with the
conviction that it will prove equally
fatal to the great cotton pests, that
have hitherto proven such a serious
drawback to tie cultivation of that
staple. Its great advantage over Paris
green, London purple, Arsenic and other
exterminatOrs, in former use, being that
it is not injurious to either man OF beast.
The only drawback to it's general use,
at present, is the cost, which can be
very readily overcome by cultivation.
as it grows almost as easily as mayWeed
or "dog fennel." The Professor has
sent seed to be sown for tests into va
rious sections of the country.
This will indeed be cheering news to
our Louisiana cotton planters. who
have, in former years, suffered so lleavl.
ly, and, in some cases, been almost
ruined by the ravages of the cotton
worm.

JOSH BILLINGS ON MARRIAGE.-By
awl means, Joe, get married, it you
have fare show. Don't stand shiver--
ing on the bank, but pitch rite in and
stick your head under and shiver 1T out.
Thar amt any more trick in getting
married than thar is in eating peanuts.
Many man has stood shiverlng on the
shore until the river run out. Don't ex,
pect to marry an angel-they have, all
bin picked up long ago. Remember,
Joe, you hain't saint yourself. Do not
marry for beauty exclusively !; beauty
IL like ice, awfully slippery and thaWs
dreadfully easy. Don't marry for luv,
neither; luv il like cooking stove,
good for nothing when the fuel gives
out. But let the mixture be some beauty,
becomingly dressed, with about two
hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket,
a gud speller, handy and neat in her
house, plenty of good sense, tuff consti-
tuition and bylaws, small feet, a light
step: add to this sound teeth and a
warm heart. The mixture will keep in
any climate aud will not evaporatee.
Don't marry for pedigree unless IT'S
backed by bank notes. A family with
nothing but pedigree generally lacks
sense
