SCOTT PARTIN ARRESTED.

In the month of April 1875 the
people of this State were greatly
Mortified at the announcement that
most terrible murder had been per
petrated in Panther Branch township
in the southeastern part of Wake
county. The bodies Of a white
woman and child had been discovered
chopped to pieces, enclosed in a ba g
and hidden in marshy hole in a
secluded spot. Investigation proved
the bodies to be those of the wife and
child of A. w. Partin alias Scott
Partin.
On Saturday last, June 23d, a
tramp made his appearance in Selma,
Johnston county. He was in a some
what dilapidated condition so far as
personal appearance was concerned.
He walked into Selma looking ragged
and dirty. Took a seat in front of a
barroom where Messrs. David Price
and Reuben Wilkinson were seated
both of whom had worked with
him in cooper shop years before.
The tramp kept his eye on one of the
parties and tried to hide his manned
finger. They asked him where he
was from and he told him that he
was from Pennsylvania-had been
working in the mines--but that the
people up there were not very kind
to him, and he thought he would
come back to this section of the
country where he was born and
reared. He said he had worked in
Indianna and Kentucky. He first
said his name was John William
Henry Scott, but soon afterwards
gave the name of John A. w.
Moore. Mr.. David Price one of the
above named gentlemen, went to
constable, secured a warrant and
had him arrested, and when charged
with being the veritable Scott Partin,
he cursed and said anyone that said
he was Scott Partin told id lie.
He saws he was born in Buncombe
county, this State.
On the morning Of Jnly 4th, 1875,

finding Of the bodies OF the murdered
woman and child on the previous day.
i he unfortunate woman had been cut
to pieces and her legs broken in order
to enable her brutal husband to place
her body in a bag. She had then
been placed in the morass which at
that poinr was impossible. The
murdered woman had been literally
cut to pieces. Her head had been
cut from her shoulders. Her nose
and her upper lip had been cut from
her face, and her body had been
literally quartered. One of her
breasts had been cut off at the elbows
and the remaining portions of her
person mutilated Index.

After the Yellow Pever.

AS soon as the epidemic is over the
first step would I've to have thorough
and systematic house 20 house investiga-
ton, and all places carefully noted where
cases occurred. In these houses silc mat
tresses, blankets, carpets and wooden
materials should be burned. The linen
and cotton goods could be effectually dis
infected by thoroughly boiling in com
pound prepared for this purpose. BY
this means, / think, tho city could be
freed from tho microbes and another Wis
itation next season fully prevented.
To do this would cost great deal. and
that is one reason why the government
could do it far moro etTectually than any
committee or other authority. 1t GER
tainly would cost from 100000 to
$4,000, and perhaps n,orc. including,
of course, payments for goods destroyed
to those who could not afford to lose
them.
II will take fully two months TO do ell
this, but something energetic must be
done, for it win not do to hive second
epidemic. A season like this costs this
country an immense amount OF money,
and no expense should be spared in
stamping it out.-Dr. Porter in New
