HOME AND ABROAD.
A CoMNENDATORY LETTER.
GLAsFoRD. Peoria Co.,
January 81, 1881.

T wish to communicate through
your paper few facts in relation to
the Sickness of my wife, and her re-
markable benefit received at the hands
of Mrs. DR.. Keck, thinking that may
in this way influence some suffering
fellow beings to seek the aid which
NAV restore them. My wife has been
laboring under chronic affections, in
Guiding catarrh. for IL years. and has
been treated for the same most Of that
time. without material benefit, until
she applied at the office of Mrs. DR..
Keck, in Peoria, last fall. She had not
then spoken loud word for nearly
months, having lost her voice while
under other treatment. She was thre
atened with paralysis. her entire lett
side being very weak and numb, her
nervous system was completely shat~
tered. her lungs in a serious condition
and her health failing rapidly. Her
hands and feet were always cold, SO
that it was almost impossible TO warm
them, showing a poor circulation and
condition of the blood.
About October LIST, 1880, she applied
at the Office of Mrs. DR.. keck, in Pc
oria, for advice and treatment, which
she continued faithfully at home until
the middle of December. She made
several visits to Mrs. DR.. Keck's Office
in Peoria in the meantime, to obtain
necessary directions and medicines,
and improved very much. Her voice
was still gone, however, and l had
very little hope that she would ever
recover it, although Mrs. DR.. Keck said
that her remedies were working splen
didly ON her system, and that If she
would now accompany her to Daven-
port Infrmary to receive extra treat.
ment she would recover her voice and
health. But still doubling, took my
wife to several physicians OF emil
nence for examination and opinions.
They agreed with Mrs. Keck as to
what the trouble was, Some of them
said there was Uery little hope. while
others said their was none, tfor recoV-
ery.)
So Mrs. Watson went with Mrs. Keck
and remained at her Infrmary five
weeks. She went under a vigorous,
though pleasant treatment there, and
in two weeks her voice was restored
to its original strength and tone. l
met her at Peeriason her return home,
and heard her speak aloud for the first
time in eight months. Her health is
very much better in every way. There
was great establishment among the
boarders at Mrs Wonders boarding
house, where Mrs. Keck has her Office,
when Mrs. Watson talked aloud like
the the rest, for all had heard her
whisper SO long, and did not believe
she could be restored. 1t has paid US
well to follow Mrs. Keck's advice, al
though we had very little faith at first.
My Wife's recovery is truly remark
one. If any one doubts the above
they may correspond with me at Glas-
ford, Illinois.

CRIME IN VIRGINIA.

| The Two Girls who Killed their Fnthcr-A
Horrible story.
The two Williams girls who killed
their father near Whitnell, Pittsylvania
county, Virginia, recently are in Gus
tody. They are very ignorant, and the
youngest is half idiotic. 1t seems they
picked up living by gathering berries
and chestnuts, which their father com
PEELED them to exchange for whiskey
for his own use. The oldest daughter
says that on the evening preceding the
murder her father sent her to Whitnell
to purchase whiskey with money she had
earned with her own hands by drying
fruit, and that she procured the guam
tity of whiskey desired and invested the
remainder of the money in few yards
of calico. When she returned home
her father become enraged about the
purchase of the calico, and having tied
her to tree, beat her nearly to death
that he then choked her mother until
she was black in the face that her
mother as soon as she was released,
went for the warrant, and that she and
her sister, fearing for their lives, took
both of the axes and hid them but
their father demanded them, saying
that he intended to kill his entire
family and burn them up afterwards.
She denied emphatically all knowledge
of the murder, but this part of her
story is not credited. At the time of
the discovery of Williams body the
calico referred to by the girl was found
by his side, and it is believed that be
took it away from the girls, and that
they waited until he was asleep and
killed him as already reported. There
were two axes used instead of one, and
so deeply were they imbedded, that in
drawing them out the head and shOul-
ders were lifted from the ground. One
of the girls, who appears half idiotic,
would make no statement, but indorsed
that of her sister. A horrible story is
circulated in the neighborhood that
Williams few days before the murder,
had instructed two of his daughters to
earn money by leading vicious lives,
and said that after killing his wife he
would take the third daughter in her
stead and there is surmise that the
murder originated in an attempt on his
part to carry out this purpose.

Bill Arp's View of Life.

We had a good, old-fashioned country
dance last night, and don't feel any
worse this morning for it. We bad
young people and middle aged people,
and old people, and those of us who
didn't trip on the light fantastic toe sat
in the broad piazza and talked and
looked on and enjoyed ourselves all the
same as we used to do when the gush
and vigor of youth were upon us. What
blessed thing it is that kind nature
takes away our desire for frolic as we
grow older, and begin to wear the sere
and yellow leaf. l don't care to dance
now that the spring in my extremities
is gone and there's lead in my shoes,
and don't Lam ent that old age is creep.

see other people happy.s Enjoy your
day, whether it be in youth or old age /;
enjoy every day, make most of it.; get
all out Of life you can. 1t won't pay to
always be hankering after something or
grieving over troubles that haven't
come, and may never come. / know
people who let the dark side of life
cheat 'em out of every days happiness,
who ponder and fret over little troubles
until they swell up like dried apples
and get to be big ones, and they can't
eat or sleep in any peace.
Life to them is grindstone, and the
grit of it is always cutting away little
by little until there's nothing left En-

old gentleman of three score years and
ten was here last night-came five miles
just to see the young people happy
and he was bright us the full moon, and
it was pleasure to see him and listen
