Frona tie PdSdtta Ne,os. f
Wednesday afternoon Deputy Sheriff r
L. Wall and Mr.. Daniel Covert brought
to this city, in handouts, one Erastus
Shaw. the recital of whose crimes makes
the blood boil in every mans veins.
Shaw is a white man, said to be about
40 years old, aud lives at Keuka. IN this
county. His family consists Of his wife
and her daughter by former husband, a
girl about II years old, aud his own
daughter, s years old. IL was on war
rant sworn out by this step-daughter that
ne was arrested, in which be was charged
with having attempted to commit an out
rage on her on March 9, and
on several subsequent occasions.
The warrant also charges him
with having made several attempt
to similarly outrage his own daughter, In
which attempts the child is said to havs
suffered the most brutal treatment al his
hands. By terrible threats he has kept
the children terrorized so much that they
dared say nothing OF the treatment TO
which they were subjected until few
days since, when re threatened to drug
his stepdaughter, and she made com.
plant against him. The gentlemen who
brought him In also informs us that his
daughter swOre out warrant yesterday,
charging him with the above otfenses.
Tuesday night, after being arrested and
in the custody of the officers, he wrote
long letter to his wife acknowledging
ais crime, and saying that the girls had
forgiven him. Shaw claims that be is
insane at times. and is not responsible
for what he does, but our informant did
seem to agree in that statement.

No tidings OF the fate OF Caleb Wright,
Sheriff Of Clay county, who so mysteri-
ously disappeared from his home last
April, have ever been received, and all
sugmises as TO his leaving for parts I'M
known have about vanished, and the gem
eral opinion is now that he, in 1T of
mental alteration, sought grave in the
soft mud Of some of the dense
swamps of that section, and either
plunged into them and sunk out
Of sight or killed himself on the
brink and ell into one. In searching tor
him poles were inserted into the mud a
distance of twenty-five feet, hoping to
strike the body, but without success.
This mud is almost as thin as water, and
anything of weight will sink out of sight
as soon as il strikes the surface. There
We're many rumors surrounding the dis
appearance, but inquiry has failed to con-
Iirm any of them, and the mystery Will
probably never be solved until the day OF
final account.

His Own AdYertiser.
Fron tAe Fort Gaines Ad.er,.s.r.


Friday last Fort Gaines merchant re-
ceived q consignment OF Western apples
and at once set about calling the atten-
ton Of the public to the fact. He figured
il out on a sheet OF brown paper that it
would cost him $1.50 to advertise hie
apples in newspaper, and when he
reached that point the figures looked
about II feet long and 8 feet wide, and he
concluded as this was not good year to
go into bankruptcy he would do mis- own
advertising. He got sack-needle
fixing up string of the
fruit TO hang on the outer wall when. Just
as he was finishing the pomological
rosary, the needle slipped through the last
apple and strung the ball Of his thumb, as
a sort OF button tn the combination. He
pranced around like man who had been
bitten by a .iointed snake, and knocked
down 81 worth of glassware before he got
cool enough to let his cl9il take out the
needle. he then bundled lp his thumb in
Q rag ana got sis marking
pot. He bent down over the sidewalk
and had got as far in his work as
Western apples for" when man
who was looking up at the top of the ar
tesian we'll derrick stumbled over the
merchant, who iabbed HIS stnbbed thumb
between the cracks Of the plsnkS, tried 10
look thr0ugh the funnel hole " the marking
pot with his nose ana painted big letter
''Jn on the shirt-bosom of the
other man with the brush. The
other man got mad and kicked the
merchant on the left flank. and the mer-
chant with his thumb in the crack could
only squeal and cuss. About this time
Marshal Kirkland came along, and car
ried them both before the Mayor, who
fined the merchant, and the total cost Of
the unfinished lad" was $40 So, and that's
the reason the newspaper men about
town smile at our self.edvertising msr-
chant.
