ACANADlAN HORROR.


The following account of q most hor-
rible tragedy, which occurred on Fri-
day, The 2S;h instant, in the village of
Whitevale. Ontario county, Canada, is
from the Toronto Globe:
.'Some time early in the morning
Thursday Mrs. Shepherd, resident
Of the village, murdered her two chill
dren aud then inflicted such injuries
upon herself that she cannot possibly
survive. About half past nine Mrs.
Reesor, a neighbor, called upon Mrs.
Shepherd. Upon entering the house
most horrible, heart sickening spectacle
presented itself TO her gaze. Upon the
floor lay the two children, one shot, tho
other with It's throat cut, quite dead,
while Mrs Shepherd lay on the floor,
covered with blood aud unconscious.
Mrs. Reesor Immediately informed the
noighbors, who upon coming in, found
that MIS-. Shepherd was still alive, but
that both children were stone dead and
already quite cold.
"At the right side of the stove lay
the oldest boy, George, a bright little
fellow three years otage. lie had been
shot with a revolver and killed instan-
taReously. The other child, the baby.
only seven months old, lay in n pool of
blood, its head almost completed ly severed
by the cruel stroke OF the knife, lis poor
httle limbs twisted convulsively, show
! ing the agony in which i: had died.
When lifted the head fell back, show
showing the several arteries and wind-
pipe. The mother was o terrible sight.
How many wounds she had could not
be ascertained, but, with all her loss Of
blood, she had still sufficient strength TO
crawl to the door, which Mrs. RCeSor
had left wide opon when she ran out, TO
close it, and the drag herself TO q chair,
against which she was leaning when
Mr.. White and the others entered. Be
tween the two. children lay therevo!yer.
Near Mrs. Sheppard lay the knife.
"In the afternoon Mrs. Sheppard raj
lied sufficiently 10 relate how she did
the murder and what caused her 10 DO
it. She said George had disobeyed her
commands several times, and at last sho
became enrsged. aud, seizing the reyol-
yer. she shot him. She had evidently
stood directly over him, tho ball enter
ing the left-breast high up toward tho
neck, and passed down through tho
heart. After killing George she thought
she might as well kill herself aud tho

Five Weeks in a Trance.

PHYSICIANS in Newark have been
deeply interested lately in acurious case
OF hi,teria in that city. For five weeks
Miss Anna Ward, the sixteen.year Old
step daughter OF Alex. Johnson, Of tho
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Compa-
ny, lay in q trance. Last winter she
was seriously i'll for weeks with typhoid
fever. When she recovered il was deem
ed best not TO allow her 10 return 10
school until September Then she found
that she had fallen behind her classmates
in her studies. BOT"
Feeling that she was strong, rs size
had spen. the SUMMER at Long Branch
aud Saratoga, she beganto apply herself
diligently to her Stndies to make up for
lost time. She overtaxcd her Drain,
her health failed after a few weeks aud
she was compelled TO withdraw from
school. Her sickness became serious,
aud i'll the latter part Of November rho
tell into trance. She lay quiet IN her
bed, with her eyes sometimes open and
sometimes shut, but recognizing no oI,s
and never speaking. TO sound escapes
her, and it was evident she suffered no
pain. There was a slight twitchiug OF
the eyelids, but little other movement.
DR.. William OGormau, the family
physician, called Dr. a. n. Doughcrty
aud DIR. f. g. Seguin, of this city, TO
consult with him. 1t was quickly de-
termined that the strange disease wB,
not ca,alepsy, for the patients arms
when raised, fell back upon the bed, in
stead of remaining where placed. 10
was concluded that she was victim OF
hysteria in an aggravated form, result.
ing from overstudy. Tho seyerest cleo
trio shocks caused not even the tpiicb-
ing OF muscle. After several days bad
passed, DR.. O'GormaD, not knowing
how long the trance would last, decided
to administer liquid food artifcialIy, ss
the patient could not swallow.
About New Years Day she revived,
and now che IS able to ride out, aud
seems TO be restored 10 health. While
she was 10 the trance the physicians
were satisfied that she was conscious,
and proved it two or three times. Once
DR.. Seguin said for test {: '.''
sShe il very pretty girl"
Immediately she blushed. = -.t
She says she was conscious, bot bad
only one thougbt and that q terrible
one. She feared constantly thai ibo
physicians would pronounce her dead,
aud she would be buried alive. She had
no physical pain, but this dread was ag-
onizing. In vain did she try 10 speak.
She could not even move her lips. IL
is supposed that the twitcbiDg Of her
eyes was caused by her Efforts 10 speak
or give sligo Of life.
A physician said recently that be. bad
known OF ouly one other case OF hys-
teria that was at all like this. Within
the last month he was called 10 see o

week after her marriage. The shock

all sense OF feeling, but after few days
she became consciouS-ftw FORK

The Mystery Of Il We'll.

Du:ing the late war quite number
of men were engaged in horse trading
in western North Carolina and eastern
Tennessee. On one occasion, Ill q
western town OF North Carolina, one OF
these horse traders rode up to the vii
lage inn with drove OF horses from
east Tennessee. He arrived about dark
and stopped over tor the night AS he
dismounted he sent messenger across
thd street to a certain lawyer, request
irg him to call over at the inn, that be
wished to see him. The lawyer was
standing Oh the steps of his Office,
lust in the act of starting home. lie
had noticed the man alight in the twi-
light and returned a message TO the
drover that as it was late be would call
early in the morning, which he did and
inquired of the inn keeper for the drov.
er that wished to see him. Tho inn
keeper answered: "Why, sir he is ht,
teen miles from here by this time.
Nothing more was thought Of tne mat
ter for months. After the surrender
some other parties having an interest
in the inn property, put some carpen-
tiers at work to reshingle the root. Be
tween the ceiling and the roof the work
men found a ccat, pair of pants and a
pair of gloves. Not the slightest infor-
nation could be obtained as 10 how the
clothing got there. a close examlna,
ton exposed spots which resembled
blood. Physicians were called in and
pronounced the spots blood. In the
sleeping room under the ceiling bullet
hole was discovered just on line with
the porch window. The mystery
thickened and remained SO for months.
The inn keeper owned during the war
an old negro man, and after many
months he and his former owner had q
falling ont. The old negro remarked
one day in company with another freed
man that if bis old master did not MUD
he would tell about him quitting that
horse drover in the we'll The neigh
bors remembered that the well was
filled up during the war, aud they could
not account Tor it, as it was good water
and the only well on the lot. The law
yer alluded TO above was the solicitor
of the county. Remembering how sud
denly the drover had left the village,
after sending for him, and taking this
in connection with the clothing and
bullet hole in The bed room, and the
old negro's declaration, he telt it his
duty to bring the case before the grand
Jury. In the interval the old negro
and his former master became the best
Of friends. The negro went back on
his first declaration and the solicitor not
being able to retain other testimony,
the grand jury failed to find bill; con-
seguentIy the well has never been open
ed and this man likely goes unwbipped

to tins day do not know what became OF

An Old Bachelors soliIoquy.

I'm twenty-one without wife,
To tease and Scold me all my life;
I'll sing and dance and merry be,
And flirt with all the girls see.
I'm twenty-five and life seems drear,
Without wife my heart To cheer,
And must win some gentle heart,
Ny joys and cares TO take part.
I'm thirty now but cannot find,
The girl that suits my taste and mind,
For some are tlirtS-anG others vain,
And some l hate, they are So plain.
I'm rhirty-fve, what ails the set.
They refuse, and I'm single yet,
When asked what faults have they say
Your glossy locks are turning gray.
Alas! alas. I'm forty now,
And age begins to mar my brow,
I've given my heart, and offered gold,
But ali. they say You are too old.
I'm forty-fve, what shall do,
My locks are gray, and very few;
Will not the girls some pity take,
And marry me for conscience sake!
I'm fifty now and time flies fast,
And people say "Old Bach AT last;
No daughters fair, or ruddy boys,
Are found amid my earthly joys.
All see I'm wrctched and forlorn,
And smite at me with bitter Scorn;
Then do not i'm my footsteps go;
Lest you repent in grief and woe.
I've heard of single blessedness,
But I'm in double wretchc,lness,
And could again begin in life,
In spite of fate I'd have wife.

A Miracle I'm NInIne.

A young daughter of Mr.. John Rob
inson, of Calias, has been perfectly cured
of that terrible sfliiction, St. Nitus'
dance, since the New Year, by means
that have excited much interest among
those acquainted with the facts. Mr..
Robinson thus relates the particulars OF
the strange case ''My little girl, only
seven years old, suffered every hour,
night aud day, with the disease; so that
she had to be watched constantly 10
prevent her falling on the stove and
dishes. The physicians who attended
her said that she must be sen. 10 the
hospital at Augusta. l related the case
to an old man whom ] happened TO
meet, and told how bad / felt at send
ing her away. He said that she could
be entirely cured in nine days and that
] was lucky man in having the means
of cure at my own home. lie told me
to stand my donkey with his head to
the south; then TO take the child and
sit her on its back with her face to the
east, and then to pass her over the don
keys back towards the west, saying :
In the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost Following bis instruc-
tions, did this fornine mornings before
breakfast. On the third morning the
child began to improve and the donkey
began to take the disease. From that
time to the end of the nine days the
child grew rapidly better and the don
key grew worse in proportion, until il
died on Monday, the 10Th, after fright.
ful suffering from the disease. The child
is now perfectly restored, having nc
trace Of its trouble. These are the
facts, and all the neighbors are wit
nesses." Ii is certainly strange case
and that it should continue to excite
much comment in not surprising

Rxcur.ion from Beaufort.

Yesterday our city was enlivened by the
advent of the stauneh steamer Pilot Boy,
Captain Frank Phillips, which brought 8
large excursion party from Beaufort and
Port Royal, under the auspices Of the Bea-
yer Club, an organization which has been
peculiarly successful in all their excursions.
The steamer drew near our wharves draped
with banners and conspicuously bearing
aloft an immense beaver hat, made of tin
aud appropriately coloFed. which had been
presented 70 the club by Capt. 7. P. BucklY,
a member Aliens Brass Band lent enchant
ment TO the scene with delightful music.
The party consisted of large number, and
the four hours allowed here were spent in
Sightseeing, shopping and visiting. At six
O'Clock promptly the steamer left on the re-
turn trip. taking, in addition to the excur-
sion party, a considerable freight in dry
goods aud notions bought during the brief
stay.

A NORTHERN DARKEY AT
TYREE.
He Creates a Disturbance and Defies
the Omcers.

Some time during Thursday night col
ored individual, who apparently had plenty
OF money and had very exalted opinion OF
himself, entered the saloon attached to The
Ocean House, at Tybee, and acted in such a
manner that he was ordered from the prem
ises by the barkeeper. The fellow became
very insulting and abusive, and, it is stated,
made lick at the barkeeper, who jerked
out a pistol from under the counter
and fired at him. The negro, whose name
is given as Charles P. Peyton, retreated
outside, where, securing some empty bot
ties, he began to lombard the saloon, hit
ting the barkeeper and smashing some
glassware. There were two other colOred
men with him, but 1t does not appear that
they Joined in the riotous demonstration.
After chuuking 8 number of bottles at the
place, Deputy Sheriff Mulligan was
called upon to arrest the trio, which
he promptly did. Yesterday morn
ing officer Mulligan came up to the city
with the prisoners, and carried them before
Magistrate Molina, who issued a warrant
against Peyton on the charge of assault
with intent to murder. The investigation
showed that the other two negroes were not
concerned in the trouble, and they were ac-
cordingly discharged.
While 10 the Magistrates office Peyton
staggered around great deal, and was ex
ceedingly insolent and boisterous. When or
dered by the Magistrate to behave himself he
declared he didn't care d-n for any white
man, and defied the authority of the Magis-
trate. Il was found necessary 10 handcuff
him, and he was threatened with the gag
unless he ceased his abuse. PeVton, finding
that his bravado would not do, changed his
tactics and made apology for his disgraceful
conduct, expressing desire to secure a
bondsman He was informed that such
proceedings as he had been guilty
of were not permitted in this sec
ton. and that only good and sufficient bond
would relieve him of a forced residence at
the jail for an indefinite time.
Peyton will undoubtedly keep away from
Tybee during this season at least, and the
lesson that he has received will probably
benefit him. The intention is to preserve
order ON the island, and while Deputy
Sheriff Mulligan is on duty there the turbu-
lent and wickedlY inclined had better re-
strain their evil passions and endeavor to
behave themselves.
