| We regret to hear of the killing OF JOSEPH
c. Whitman at Denver, Colorado, on Tues
day evening of last week. He had beel
driving street cal for some weeks, and OF
the evening in question was shot from thu
| sidewalk by some unknown party. There i.
no known motive for the crime, but the de
tectiyes and officers appear TO be withou
actual knowledge or probable theory. Mr.
Whitman leaves young wife at Denver, an(
father here, to mourn his loss: to both o.
whom we tender our earnest sympathy. Tht
deceased was an exemplary young man
without known enemy, and deserved,
popular with all. His funeral expense:
were defrayed by the car-drivers, and the
final honors to his remains were witnessed
by IL large concourse of Denver's best citi-
zens.
Since the above was put in type, we learn
from dispatch to the Globe Democrat, that
the murder was committed by two negroes
whose object was to rob the money box but
they were scared off before accomplishing
their purpose. One of the negroes, named
John Withers, has made full confession,g Civ
ing his accomplish, Andrew Green, away.
Both have been arrested, and 4 white man
named Peterson, arrested Immediately after
the murder, discharged after 4 full investi-
CATION.
Ii. ii. Kid,lle was arrested and tried before
Judge Dingcr last Saturday for abusively
furnishing Sophia Hall, Il ten-y old orphan
girl of whom he is gurdian and who lives
with his family. The testimony showed
that, for trivial offense, he on Friday after
noon had taken her to his blacksmith shop,
Invested her OF her outer clothing, placed
her in bran sack, BACKED her face, arms,
and lee, up 10 her knees, tied his ieathern
apron upon her, put his cap upon her head,
and, in this plight, placed her upon an an
yil-blOck, where she was made to stand for
several hours. Passers-by were called in
''to see the monkey show" and the little or
phan commanded, under pain of whipping,
TO sing the song she had sung at the recent
school entertainment. Various other means
were used to make her feel the burden that
attaches to helpless children who have no
parent to guard and protect them. This
was kept up from three until six O'Clock,
Notwithstanding the protests Of some who
were called in "to see the show" When
rev. w orsnOp objected 10 Sucn an lnnuman
method of punishment, he was politely in
formed that it was none of his business. By
and-by, however, Mr.. F. Cape, and one or
two others, were informed of the matter,
and they went down and interviewed Mr..
Riddle in such forcibe way that the show
came to an end. \ warrant was then sworn
out against him and he was arrested. HIS
trial resulted in conviction and he was fined
S25 and costs-amounting in all to SAG. This,
with his lawyers fee, made Mr.. KS 'show"
experience rather costly one, and we do
not believe he will duplicate the experiment.
At the same time, he may be well satisfied
with getting off so cheaply, for some mighty
determined folk at one time talked seriously
Of dealing out summary justice to him from
the court of Judge Lynch.

There were a great many friends and
patrons of the school present at the closing
examination on the 2lst inst, and after wit
Messing an examination of the classes in the
various branches, several parties were call
ed upon to address the school, and each
seemed to vie with the other in passing COM
plimentary remarks upon the teacher and
his work. Among the prominent parties
present were Judge Dinger, Revs. Thomas
and Abanatha.

Jos. B. Walker, Esq, returned from Cen
treyille last Saturday in time to take hand
in the prosecution of the Riddle case. He
had been engaged for week in straighten-
ing out the accounts between Reynolds
county and its ex-collector, Mr.. Elyis Har-
:ison-the matter having been referred to him
as special commissioner. He brought the
county out about six hundred dollars IN
debt to Mr.. Harrison. Rather, he showed
that was .he amount justly due the eX-collec-
tor. That MIR. Harrison was strictly hon.
est man and competent official, no reason
able person ever doubted; that law and jus
tice arc on his side is Il source Of pleasure to
all his friends.
A miner, named Steve Lavelle, went on a
two-davs' drunk last week, and ended up
bv taking big dose of morphine Wednes-
day evening. He then went to the premises
occupied by Mr.. Roth, and informed bis girl
living there, named Mary Jane Subblefield,
that he had taken poison. In very short
time the morphine began to get its work In,
and the girl I'm great alarm summoned Dr.
Patton. The DR.. found Lavelle lying at 1uii
length in the alley in rear of the premises
and apparently about dead. He had no
pulse, and the chances were decidedly against
him: but the DIR. sent for assistance, ana,
with antidotes, slapping, pounding, and va
rious other methods of torture, after two
hours hard work, brought his patient back
to the miseries and disappointments OF fhls
vale of tears We hardly think Mr.. Laveile
will try the poison route next time. It's 100
much like Jordan.

These figures profess to give the pro-
duct for the spring Of 1879. The census
schedule for the sugar crop was headed
with that date, being prepared, perhaps
10 nnrrAannnd with the wear ni tho last
crop OF cane sugar previous to the time OF
taking the census 10 June, 1880. and not
BY some one who thought maple sugar
Wa made in the fall But We do not be-
lieye that one out OF ten OF the census
enumerators took care to explain. when
inQuiring fol the amount Of the maple
sugar produd, that it was the crop OF the
year previous to the last crop that was
called for; il not. the last crop, or that Of
the spring Il 1880. would be given.
This was nola good sugar season, while
the season of1S79 was very good. II the
above statidics show more nearly the
product Of 1880, which is probably the
fact, it may not be far out Of the way to
estimste the maple sugar product Of
Vermont in good season ct 200OO.OOO
pounds. Estimating the molasses as
equal to eight pounds Of sugar to the
gallon, the btal for 1880 was 1925, s05
pounds.

Col. John P. Fort, OF South Western

beneiactors Of the race. He has discover
cd method by which swampy aud bog

His very simple process will give to farm
ers tens OF Millions OF acres OF land thai
were worse than useless, for they were the
seats OF makrial disorders. Col. For'
simply digs or drives hole into the

How to Keen a Room Cool.

The composing room of The Picayune is
situated in the upper story of its publication
house, Just under the roof, and in summer is
extremely hot. An inspiration seemed to
have come to one OF the oppressed occupants,
and, in accordance with it, q vertical wooden
box was constructed in the corner of the
room, with openings at the floor and ceiling.
and furnished with a pipe for supplying
water at the top, and pan and drain at the
bottom for receiving the flow and carrying it
safely away. The supply pipe was bent over
the upper end of the shaft, ard fitted with a
nose Like that Of a watering pot so as to deliver
shower of spray instead of q solid stream. On
connecting it with the service pipe the move
meut of the water was found to cause an ac-
tive circulation of the air in that part of the
room, which was drawn in at the upper open
ing Of the shaft and issued again cool and
fresh at the floor level.
The most surprising thing about the expert
ment seems to have been the effect of the
water in cooling the air to a degree much be-
low its own temperature. With Mississippi
water which when drawn from the service
pipe indicated a temperature Of 81 degs, the
air of the room in which the thermometer
at the beginning of the trial stood at 81 degs.
was cooled in passing through the length Of
the shaft to a degs., or about 20 Gegs below
the temperature at which it entered and 10
degs. below that OF the water which was used
to cool it OF course the absorption of heat
by the evaporation of a portion of the water
accounts for its refrigerating effect, but the
result seems 70 have been SO easily and mex
persively attained that the experiment would
be well worth repeating in other cases.-New
Orleans Picayune.

Wanted Edison's Gelatine Shirt.

Some time ago an American wag wrote an
an account OF gelatine shirt that Edison
had invented. 1t was said to be made Of thin
sheets OF eelatinc, each sheet to be taken off
when soiled; and there We're enough sheets to
make the shirt last year. This yarn was
printed in various newspapers, and at last in
Brazil The gullibiity of tho South Amer
lean may be appreciated" said Mr.. Edison in
o recent interview. when it is known that
soon after the shirt story met their eyes the
Brazilians began to send me drafts and
checks for shirts. One idiotic diamond dealer
sent me draft for 600 on the Bank of Eng
land He wrote that he didn't know how
much the shirts were, but he did not think
they ought to cost over sl00 apiece. New
