WuERE Is THE SENSE? Richland
county has case wherein a man
murdered his wife and then tried to
take his own life by cutting his
throat He succeeded only SO far as
to place himself in a critical cohdi-
tiou, and but for the closest attcn-
tion Of doctors the murderer would
have died. lie is now reported as
recovering, and as being placed un-
der arrest. The query is, whore is
the sense in trying TO save a mans
life, (which plainly is not worth
saying) for the purpose Of making
a successful arrest, and then running
up large bin Of expense upon the
county in trying him for murder?

BELMONT was shocked to its very
center Tuesday evening over the
sudden death of one of its most val.
uod citizens, Mr.. Thomas Martin,
brother of Robert Martin, of this
city Deceased was not man of
robust health, but was energetic.
He was q candidate for treasurer
the day of his death, and natural
enough was out among the voters,
when he was TAX y with a congestiye
chill, which soon terminated in his
death DIR. Tallman, of this city,
was summoned, but in spite of his
great haste the "pale horse and it's
rider" was there before him. Mr..
Martin was postmaster Of Belmont,
and was elected to the treasurership
but did not live TO learn Of it. He
leaves a wife and married daughter.
FArAL ACCIDENT Monday even
iug as the late passenger train, due
here at $3.50 o'clock, was coming
from Browntown to Wayne, the
engine struck a man, who was laying
Oh the track, cutting him into mince-
meat. Scraps Of humanity, Of which
it is said the head was the largest,
were picked up by tho hands Of the
train and put into o mail bag and
taken to Wayne, the poor fellows
home. His name is given us as
Sexton, and that he was a cooper by
trade. The morning of the acei-
dent he went from home to Brown
town on the freight train, and in the
evening 1t is supposed he started
to return on foot Ui0 track, and when
about a mile out was overcome by
the influence of intoxcation and
laid down unconscious Of danger or
his fate. He was in the prime Of
life, and leaves wife and child.
Pieces Of skin and flesh were wiped
off the wheels Of the train in this
city the next morning

"THE EASLEY MESSENGER announ-
cea that it is eleven months old
and that during it's brief life its
success has been SO great that it
was compelled to double its size.
IT has a circulation Of more than

now III the north arranging for
new machinery whcrewith to fur
ther improve his paper. The Mes
sENGER has been remarkably sue
cessful in the face Of many disad-
vantages, and the continuance of
the energy, enterprise and spirit
that has characterized it SO far will
make it one Of the leading news

We will say in connection, that
with the first or second issue of
the October numbers the MEssEN-
GER will appear in a much enlarg-

OUR TRIP NORTH,

tropolis,' we went through with
the events of Sunday and closed
our correspondence. Time and
space forbid that we should give
a detailed account Of the remain
der of'our trip, and in consequence
Of which we will touch only upon
the most important features there
of. Monday and Tuesday of last
week was spent solely in the city
Of New York. Tuesday was a
more important day to us than
the one preceding. A part of the
morning was spent in visiting
some Of the printing material es-
adjustments. We feel repaid by
our visit to them, and our visit
North shall certainly serve as an
impetus in our publication of tie
MESSENGER. In the afternoon Of
the same day We visited again
Central Park. We know Of none
nowhere that seems to US SO beau
tlful. Nature has dole much for
it, and what she has not accom-
plished, the artistic touches of the
tasty Northcrncr have added great
beauty and establishment to this
lovely scene. Think Of over 500
acres Of land beautifully laid out
in white walks and magnificent
drives, along which grows thick
blue grass and shrubbery with
their rich color Of gorgeous green.
This place is the resort Of pleas
ure seekers, who find II in walking
o'er these magnificent grounds, in
visiting the Mu scum ana Nenag-
clie, and sailing upon the placid
water. Of the beautiful lakes. that

On Wednesday morning we rose
early preparatory to a trip UP the
Hudson River as far as West
Poin@. Not unfrequenuy had we
heard Of the 6 and sconery in part
e-"pon the banks Of this great river.
Hence we were somewhat prepared
to take itin. Beautiful towns and
elegant mansions are TO be found
on the one side or the other Of this
Mountainous stream-Mountaiu-
ons, because it kisees the feet Of
Alpine peaks from where it takes
its rise to where it loses it's name

Things Worth Knowing.

1t il q dull pleasure 10 have to do
with people who admire Us and ap-
prove of all we say.
There is no surer mark OF the alb
sence of the highest moral and intel
lectual qualities than q cold reception
of excellence.
1t is observed in the course of world
" things that mems fortunes are o ten
err made by their tongues than by their
virtues, and more mems fortunes over
thrown thereby than by their vices.
Books are at last the best compau-
ions; they instruct us in silence with
out any display OF superiority, and they
attend the pace o. each mans capacity.
without Representing him for his want
of comprehension.
A man who is really diffident, timid
and bashful, be his merit what it will,
can hardly ever push himself forward
in the world; his despondcncy throws
him into inaction, and the forward,
busting and petulant will always pre-
cede him.
Take rather than give the tone of the
company you are i'll. If you have abll-
ity YOU will show it more or less upon
every subject, and if you have not you
had better talk Silly upon a subject of
other peoples choosing than upon one
OF your own.
There is no harm, says Sir Walter
Scott, but, on the contrary, benefit in
presenting a child with ideas beyond
his easy and immediate comprehension.
The difficulties offered-if not too great
or too frequont-stimulate curiosity
and encourage exertlon.
PHYSICAL exercise in some systematic
manner is q duty we owe not merely
to our bodies, but to our whole nature.
1t will vitalizo the blood, quicken the
energies, give frmness to the nerves
and lay u foundation upon which we
may build wholesome, successful life.
1t is generally thought that there is
nothing easier than to give good adj
vice. 1t is so abundant and cheap, it Is
said, because it costs nothing. Now
this may be applicable to much of the
trite counsel and most of the wcll-worn
maxims that live upon the lips, but do
not come from the heart; it may be true
concerning such exhOrtatiOns rs we
have been in the habit of hearing from
one generation and passing on to the
next, without much reference to their
applicability; but it is not true of any
| thing which honestly bears the name
of good advice. That is not plentiful
or easy to give.

An Important Want.

A Russian Colonel sold one of his
horses to q merchant Mt avery high
price, intimating ut the same time that
he was very loath to part with it, the
animal being so capable and Intelligent
as "only to want n tongue in order to
be perfect" The merchants delight
at his bargain, however, was somewhat
dashed by the news brought him next
day by his groom that the horse was in
capable of drinking properly. having
only half a tongue. At this fatal reve-
lation of the Coloners real meaning
his victim at once laid the case before a
magistrate; but the defendant main
tanned, amid the uproarious laughter
of the entire court (including even the
presiding Judge himselD. that he had
given his customer fair warning of the
defect, his words being that the horse
''only wanted tongue to make him
perfect" and he appealed to the plain
tiff himself for confirmation of his
statement, which the latter with eX-
IRENE reluctance eventually gave. The
magistrate pronounced that nothing
could be done, and recommended that
the affair should be comprc missed.

attention TO his dress. He usually

succeeds Proctor Knott, wears snuff
coored business suit, which stands out
rather prominent among the almost
universal funcreal black which clothes
nine out of every ten members. Phll
Thompson, VINO used to wear a suit
with little color in it, succumbs TO
the custom, and wears black on most
occasions. Kasson delights in q short
sack coat of some dark material, but is
obliged at times to give that up for Il
suit more in the prevailing style in the
house. Holman, 1.-THE objector, gem
orally wears black frock coat, pretty
long as to skirt, and seldom buttoned
in front, while his tie is not in its nor
nal condition If not awry. His gen

than it used to be. Carlisle's dress IS
