WAYNEsvILLE, o., March Il. 4.--Waynes
vile is again thrown into fever of ex
citement by the discovery of another
seemingly brutal murder in our midst
in an old school house, in the outskirts
of our village, belonging to the Society
of Friends, but latterIy used as a dwell
| ing house by Gideon Carson and his
wife, who lived there in almost abiect
poverty during the last winter. Their
house has at times been the scenes of
family broils, especially during his
ebullitiOns of Incorporate excesses.
On this Sunday evening, about
O'Clock, young man named D. W.
Meeks called at the house to ask Mrs.
Carson to'do some washing on the NOR
row.. Getting no response to his raps
heraised the latch and entered the dwell
ling, when, horror of horrors, he found
the house in terrible confusion. The
woman lay on the edge of the bed, dead,
with large wound OH the left cheek,
having the appearance of having been
entirely eaten off by rats, but to have
been done by glancing blow of some
partially sharp instrument. The piece
VI OuOCh has Juob DCGu lOullu Ill DOWI.
The husband lay on the in drunk
en- stupor, between his dead wife and
the wall. Marshall Cummins being
called, in company with our Mayor, re-
paired to the house, when Carson was
locked up. and a messenger sent for the
Coroner.
Your reporter entered the house in
company with WILL. Hazen, ESQ. The
body lay on the bed entirely naked,
with no articles of female attire in view,
or on the bed,. and no clothing Of any
kind over it, but covered with feather
tick, which, being partly turned down
by the Marshal and Hazen, revealed
numerous bruises on the shoulders, side, |
and arms, around which the blood had |
already settled, presenting a. horrible
spectacle.
Parties in the neighborhood had seen
the deceased as late as 8 p. m. yesterday.
The husband, on being questioned, says
he knew she was dead; that it was done
about O'Clock to-day, but does not
know who did it. Perhaps, as he sleeps
off his heavy stupor, he may be able to
give further facts in the case.

At the last annual meeting of our
State w. G. T. u, a COMMITTEES was ap-
pointed to devise a law for the introduc-
tion of the Juvenile Temperance Man
uel, by Julia COlman, the Temperance
Lesson Book by DR.. Richardson, and
"Story on Alcohol" into our public
schools as text books; hoping by their
use to educate our children against the
use of all Intoxicating liquor as a bev-
erage, and make them what the State so
much needs, intelligent, total abstinence
men and women.
1st, Because Intemperanee has al
ready become so wide spread and alarm
ing that the health, morals and the.
very life of the nation are jeopardized,
and only a systematic and continual
struggle against it can turn the flood
tide which threatens its destruction.
2. Because these principles are based
upon the sciences taught in our schools,
and recognized as necessary by best
educators; and because the nature and
effect of alcohol upon, the human sys-
tenn could be successfully taught in con-
neetion with chemistry and physiology.
3. 70 omit this consideration is. to
omit very important branch of po-
litical economy, a knowledge of which
the State has right to demandof'eVerV
one educated at the public expense.
We therefore desire the introduction
of the Juvenile Temperance Manuel by
Julia COlman, into the Primary schools,
and for the intermediate grades would
recommend DR.. Richardson IS temper
ance lesson books, and the Story, of AL
cohOl for Grammar and High Schools.
