Murder VIII Out.

In quarrel near Morgantown, North
Carolina, recently, between Mr.. and
Mrs. Alonzo Bird, the wife, in her pas
sion, blurted out q statement which
has caused her husbands arrest for a
murder committed seventeen years ago,
the victim being an eI-Feceral soldier,
Captain Raphia Livingston, said to be
from New York. During the war Car.
tain Livingston was confined ip the
Confederate prison in Saln bury. He
was good looking and intelligent, and
was sesn by Miss Rose Austin, the
pretty daughter of one of the officers of
the Guards. At this time he was con-
valescent from a severe fever, and her
woman's heart pitied him. She gave
him some delicacIes, and the result was
that he formed a friendship for her
which ripened into love that was re-
turred. She dared not speak to her
father, and managed to effect the cap
taIn's escape. Before he left for the
Federal lines he gave her a ring, and
promised to return after the war was
over and claim her as his bride.
After the war was over Miss Austin

vsntageous oilers in the mean time.
Among her most persistent suitors was

bat she could not bring herself to agree
to marry him. In 1867 Captain Liv-
ineston visited Salisbury, and lost no
time in finding his proposed bride.
Bird was told that Livingston was her
betro'hed, and he seemed to acquiesce.
The captain was not in we'll to do cir
cumstances, and therefore the wedding
could not take place at once. Suddenly
Livingston disappeared, and Miss Austin
was made to believe that ne had desert
ed her. About year afterward she
married Bird.
In quarrelling with her husband,
Mrs. BIrd gave Information to the effect
that Bird and two companions had
murdered Livingston, and, with the aid
of colsred boy, buried the body in
grave near by. The negro was at once
taken into custody, and corroborated
Mrs Birds story. All the parties were
arrested, and are now in Jail at Wilkes
boro. The arrest has caused intense
excitement, as the principals are prom
inept people. Mrs. Bird is about 35
years OF age and very handsome.

A NICE WAY I'd Cook CHICKENS. -
The following is highly recommended
to housekeepers: "Cut the chicken up,
put 1t in a pan and cover it ever with
water; let it stew as usual, and when
done make thickening of cream and
-four, adding piece of butter, and
pepper and salt; have made and baked
pair of short cakes, made for pic
crust, but roll thin and cut in small
squares. This is much better than
chicken pie, and more simple to make.
The crusts should be laid on dish, and
the chicken gravy put over 1t while
both are hot"

Mrs. BKECHER tells OF an unique
sofa pillow made by lady who had
little time. but good deal of ofingenui'y
and taste. 1t was made from ore of
the gay silk handkerchlefs seen in gen.
tlemen's furnishing stores. A cardinal
handkerchief was chosen which had
an owl in one corner. After the pill
low was made and covered with sllesia
or some similar material, she put the
handkerchief over it, and turned the
corner which was ornamented with the
owl, back toward the centre. and
caught it there with invisible stitches.
The corner of the pillow that was lett
visible had piece OF black velvet put
smoothly over it, and a hands ONE rib
bon bow of the color of the haudker-
chief was fastened to the velvet. The
pillow was finis he'd on the edge with a
small silk cord of bright gold color, AID
the under side was lined with Canton
flannel. 1t was pretty, and took but
few hours to maze 1t.

WHEN successive crops of wheat are
grown on the same land they are apt to
be injured by the Hessian fly. After
harvest the fallen grain sprouts, anu
the fly lays Its eggs on the young plant,
and Is thus ready to begin work on the
sown wheat when it appears. If the
Hessian fly finds proper place to leave
Its eggs it will not leave the field. Thus
sometimes a field after wheat will be
nearly destroyed, while wheat sown
after Spring grain or hoed crops less

cape injury.
