4 Wholesale Emigration Ex-
pected.

Chattanooga Times: The tide of
emigration from this section to the
west continues undated, the seek
ers Of the Few homes being in no
wise deferred by wintry blasts or
drifts of snow. Last week about
100 emigrants from this immediate
vicinity left for Arkansas and Texas.
This week the prospects indicate
the departure of about 800, princi-
pally from central Georgia. The
returning excursionists, who came
to visit their former homes IN the
east, carry numbers of their friends
back with them. One gentleman
who came back induced fifteen emf
grants TO return west with him.
These people will commence to re-
turn in numbers in a few days, and
then a wholesale emigration can be
expected.

seriously agitated in that body.

resident of Harrison township, this
county, brings to this city the
startling announcement that grave
robbers have disinterred the body
of the late Governor, James ID. Viii
liams, and stripped the casket and
body of the valuables. A special
from New Philadelphia, o., says
The neighborhood of Palermo, a
few miles east of here, is still great

of Miss Huffman's grave. Two
large gashes were found under the
chin of the corpse, evidently made
by hooks in dragging it out of the
grave. A deep, CHASTITY wound was
found on her forehead, which had
evidently been made by a crow bar
when the coffin was burst. The
friends are making every effort to
discover the perpetrators OF the
crime.

A WOMAN'S CRIME.
Horrible Deed of an Insane
Woman near Detroit.

DETROIT, Jan. ia shocking
TRACE 1y was Ell acted at Lapeer, a
village 70 miles north of Detroit,
last evening. While the people
were at church, Mrs. Barnard went
to the house of Rev. E. Curtis, the
Baptist pastor, attacked his wife,
an old lady Cbout 60 years old,
threw her down and poured gaso-
line over her clothing and set it on
fire The poor woman was so
shockingly burned that she lived
but few hours. Mr.. Curtis, until
last year, had been pastor at
Greeneville in this State, for sever
al years, and Mrs. Barnard came to
Lapeer a few week ago from
Greeneville, where she lives, being
the wife Of a prominent lum-
herman and a woman about 40
years old. She had been busy,
meanwhile, attending the meetings,
mingling in general society, but
giving no intimation of any ill will
towards her victim. 1t is believed
by many that she is insane from re-
ligious excitement, but others
think the case downright wicked
ness. She is under arrest.

an invaluable remedy 10 be kept always
on hand in every home. No person can
afford to be without it, and those who

their knowledge of its composition and
effects, physicians use the Cherry Pee
toral extensively in their practice, and
clergymen recommend it. 1t is abso-
lutely certain in its remedial effects,

1t is an old saying that a heavy

1t is an old saying that a heavy
snow is a good coat Of manure.
The old inhabitants are predicting
an exceptionally good crop year
and we believe the prediction will
be verified. 1881 is an odd year,
and there is an old notion that
there is luck in odd numbers.
Rosin DeBow thought so-at any
rate he made some sort of song
about it. We therefore recon
mend all our farming friends to
bend themselves to the work of
making their farms Guido them
selves this year. Prepare the land
well-fertilize it liberally-sow it
in seasons-work 1t judIciously
and if a good crop does not re-
ward the labor, we will give it up.
Give the seasons and the soil a
fair chance and we have an abiding
faith in the result-snow or no
snow, but especially with the snow.

Hone for Consumptives at Last

From official record, we learn that
over sixty thousand persons die annu-
ally in the United States from pulmo-
nary consumption. In each of these
cases there was first or incipient stage
of the disease, when all the life forces
and organic structures were yet unim-
paired by his encroaehments. If at
this time an agent had been found which
could give to the system higher de-
gree ofvitality, and so enable it to resist
the deadly assault, this perilous crisis
would have been safely passed. And
not this one only. In every subsequent
assault of the enemy, especially where
there existed some hereditary faint, a
prompt resort 70 the same re-vitalizing
agent would have given like relief and
immunity. Now, it is confidently
claimed, and the claim is substantiated
by the results of over twelve years ex-
perience of its use, that just such an
agent has been discovered in Compound
Oxygen, the use of which is rapidly ex-
tending. II you wish to learn all abOut

A large number of these bricks

much weight on one place.
