EXCITEMENT AT WEsr END.-The sudden
death Of Lizzie Welsh, a young girl 16 years
of age, daughter of John Welsh, a track boss
on the Easton and Amboy Railroad, and the
circumstances attending it, occasioned great
deal of excitement at West End, in Bethlehem
townships last week. The facts of the case
are briefly as follows: On Sunday evening,
9th inst, the neighbors living nearest to
Welsh's, heard loud talking, as though there
was some kind of row going on there. Fee
male screams were heard, and Mrs. Welsh
was heard to say, /" My God, John, you have
done it. You have killed Lizzie.n One of
the little girls was also heard to say, ooh,
papa, what did You kill Lizzie forP' Some
of the neighbors went to the house, and found
the girl sitting on the kitchen floor with her
father holding her. She was removed to a
sofa and was seized with CONCLUSIONS, having
them at intervals until her death, which oc=
cured on Monday, evening. She was buried
on Thursday at the Junction. As there was
considerable talk about the matter, Coroner
w. II. Carpenter, of Clinton, went to West
End previous to the burial, but did not find
sufficient cause to bold an inquest. After the
burial, however, the people thought an inves-
LEGATION should be made, and on Friday the
body was exhumed and an examination made
by Drs. Knight and Pittenger, They found
no evidence of violence except clot of blood,
about the size of walnut, at the base of the
brain, from the rupture of blood vessel,
causing commissions and death, and resulting
from fall or blow. Coroner Carpenter suns
moned a jury. which, after viewing the body
adjourned to Saturday, when a number of
witnesses were examined. The testimony
was to the effect that Welsh was intoxicated
on the Sunday evening in question, that he
was in the habit of using violence toward his
family, and that when the neighbors went
there Mrs. Welsh said she would have him
arrested, as she could not stand it any longer"
The verdict of the jury was that the girl came
to her death by blow from her father, but
that he did not intend to killher. Welsh was
arrested on Sunday, and will probably give
bail.-Hunterdon Republican, 20td.

WORTH KNowINa.-Use lemon
juice instead Of vinegar upon raw
cabbage.
Keep bread and cake in a tin box or
stone jar, and scald frequently to pre-
vent mould.
Kerosene is the best article ever
discovered to clean rust from CRATES
and FIRE irons.
1t is said that one teaspoonful of
pulverized borax added to quart Of
starch, will greatly improve the looks
of the linen.
1t is best to keep kerosene lamps
and cans in cool places so gas cannot
generate therein; and full lamp is
safer when burning than one nearly
empty.
