REAL ESTATE SALE.-Last week
the sale was completed of the Shawnee
farm to Messrs ThOs. DOrman of Har-
ringtOn and John Harrington of near
Milford at $3.50. About three weeks
ago there was quite little excitement
over the purchase of this farm, which
is valuable property of about SO
acres laying within two miles of Mil
ford. Mr.. Richard johnson had bar
gained for the farm at $4,000 in the fell
and had paid $3.50 to bind The bargain,
but when Mr.. FELTON, came east from
Cleveland to complete the sale, Mr..
johnson was unable to raise the bal
ance of the money. Mr.. James HOgg
of New York, had brought three gem
tlemen with the cash to buy the farm,
but learned on their arrival in Milford
Mr.. +. d. Beebe had Just returned
n cleveland where he had rented
farm of Mr.. FELTON, and had made
5rOpOsitiOn to buy, that he, Mr.. Bee
!, thought would be accepted The
New York men were much disappOint-
ed, but on the following morning met
DR.. VIM. Marshall at Georgetown by
whom they were assured that the farm
was not sold, but that he, Marshall, |
had authority to make a sale; the
prOspectOrs returned to Milford by
next train in high hopes and were car
ried by Mr. E. c. McCOlley to visit the
farm. On their return to DIR. Mar
shall's office, he informed them that
letter awaited him on his arrival home, |
from Messrs. DOrman & Harrington |
making a deposit on account Of the
FheH,nec fslIn ara agreeihg to pur- /
chase it. Their bargain, as made last |
week, was somewhat modified by the /
years lease of the property to Mr.. E. /
d. Beebe but they took it subject to
this incumbrance, at S5250.

HORRIBLE REVELATIONS.

London, Dec IA Paris CORE
spondent forwards u second letter
written in blood by a nihilist in fort
at st. Petersburg. 1t describes the
narrowing treatment of the prisoners.
They rot away and exhale odors of
dead bodies before life is extinct.
The number of those who 90 mad in
consequence of their sufferings is
daily increasing. Madmen are strap
ped down and whipped with knotted
ropes by their keepers. Fierce yells
resound throughout the night. Many
prisoners have committed suicide.
1t is said one woman was outraged
and then poisoned, and inquiries into
the affair have been prisoners. A
woman with babe was obliged to
he constantly on the watch and fight
night and day to prevent their ravages
upon the child. The use of combs and
soap is forbidden. The prisoners,
especially women, whose hair is al
lowed to grow, are literally dcvoured
by vermin. Prisoners who refuse to
reply to questions are tortured, and
cases of violation of woman are fire.
quentr The writer especially appeals
to the civilized world in behalf of the
women in prison, whose situation, he
says is far worse than that of the
.men.-.S. Il. Chronicle.
