SUNDAY last was day very prolific of
murders throughout the United States.
at Grayson Va. man who was criminally
intimate with his wife's sister murdered
her two brothers, while they were asleep.
They had come to his house for the pur-
pose oftaking their sister, his wife, home.
He had heard of their being in the house
and proceeded stealthily to their room
armed with an axe. With one blow of
the axe he split the skull of one of the
brothers in two. The next blow was
aimed at the other who was awakened
by the noise, stiking him in the shoulder
and cutting off his arm. A third blow
let out his entrsils.
At Oberlin, Ohio, a mulatto shot his
wife because she would not pray for him
when he felt religiously inclined. A man
in the house interfered when the mulatto
shot him in the shoulder. He then put
two bullets into his own worthless car
cass, and almost Drained an officer with
apoker.
On the same day man in Colorado
who had been on trial and acquitted for
shooting negro who was intimate with
his wife, cut his wife's throat from ear to
ear killing her instantly.
The body of John Turner a wretch
who had committed number of murders
and crimes upon women was found on
Sunday last, pierced with thirty seven
bullets near Atlanta GA. Lynched, and
a praiseworthy deed.
A farm hand at Cairo ILL.,, killed his
employer and buried him in the barnyard
and then gave out that the man fell into
the Mississippi and was drowned. Kohl,
the farm hand, was arrested and con-
fessed the crime, stating that he was
assisted by the murdered mans wife.

MASSACHUSETTS, principally under the
teachings of the Springfield Republican,
is gradually forming the nucleus of new
party, which without doubt represents
those principles which will be dominant
when intelligence and patriotism will
bring about the decadence of extreme
partisanship. At Boston the party is
known as Young Republicans. Most of
those who have joined the party are men
of republican auteoedents. They repro.
sent oil that is good in both parties and
oppose the election of Grant or Blaine.
