ANOTHER DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

A Glassworker Murders His Wife and Then
Kills Himself.
TIFFIN, March 8-For some time William
Gessler, of Fostoria. has been working at a
glass factory in Findlay. Last night he ap-
peared at Fostoria and went to the home of his
wife's parents, where his wife had been living
during his absence, accompanied by his
brother-in-law. The wife was called to the
door by Gessler, and the brother-in-law, who
was standing in the background, heard Gessler
ask his wife question which he could not un-
derstand. She answered 'No," and quick as a
flash Gessler drew a revolver and shot her, the
ball entering the hip. She turned and stag
gered into the house, when he shot her in the
neck, and she fell, dying on the floor
Gessler then placed the revolver against his
own neck and fired. The ball passed through
the neck killing him instantly. 1t was all done
so quIck that nobody could interfere. Gessler
came from either Wheeling or Bellaire.

PORTLAND.

PORTLAND,
the county-seat of Jay county, In
diana, is half way between Fort
Wayne and Richmond, and 1I8
miles from Cincinnati by rail, or
about 90 miles in a direct line. 1t
is in the largest continuous district
of natural gas-bearing land in the
world-a district which has been
developed and tested by hundreds
of gas wells, demonstrating beyond
all doubt that the gas supply is in
exhaustible, and its quality for fuel
and illumination unsurpassed. The
gas wells now in use at Portland
have an output of over 100000
cubic feet daily, and this supply
may be increased ad infnitum.
The Grand Rapids and Indiana
Railroad and the Lake Erie and
Western Railroad give Portland a
north, south, east and west outlet.
The county is one of the richest
agricultural and stock-raising coun-
tieR in the State. Portland has fine
pEblic schools, Normal College,
two newspapers, viz: CONNER
ciaL" "Sun;" building and loan
association, seven churches, two
fine hotels, besides lesser ones, an
opera house, and does a large
wholesale, retail and manufactur-
ing business.

Seventeen Years rom Skin Disease. Could
Disease From Head to Foot. Cured In
Eight Weeks by the cutioura Remedies.
At the age of three months a rash (which
afterward proved to be eczema or salt rheum)
made its appearance on my face. A physician
prescribed some cooling medicine, but the sores
spread to my ears and head. Another M. ID.
was called. He professed to know all about
the case, called it kings Evil. and prescribed
salve; but the disease continued. They could
not do anything with it. Another prescribed
borax, water and -four; another linseed
poultices. None Of them did me any good at
all, but made me worse. The disease continued
unabated; it spread to my arms and legs, till
was laid up entirely, and from continually sit
so that l lost all control of them, and was ut
terly helpless. My mother would have to lift
me out and into bed. l could get around the
house on my hands and feet but 1 could not
get my clothes on at all and had to wear a sort
of dressing gown. My hair had all matted
down or fallen off, and my head, face and ears
were one scab, and had to have a towel on
my head all the time in the summer to keep the
physician and surgeon here IN Chicago 1.-THE
other physicians before mentioned we're of
Dundas and Hamilton, Canada). He said he
could do nothing for me. He wanted to cut the
sinews of my legs so that could walk; but
would not let him, for if Ibid get better would
have no control of them,
The disease continued in this manner until
was II years old, and one day in January, 1879,
/ read an account in the Tribune of your CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES 1t described my case so
exactly that thought, as last resort, to give
them a trial.
When first applied them was all raw and
bleeding, from scratching myself. but went
asleep almost Immediately. something 1 had
not done for years, the effect was so soothing.
In about two weeks l could stand straight,
but not walk, 1 was so weak, but my sores were
nearly well. As near as can judge the CUTI-
eight weeks and up to this date ii. e. from
January, 1873, to January, 1871 have not been
sick in any way, or have had the least signs of
the disease reappearing on me.

DR.. Butt says: Am brother in law

where Page was killed saw Brown at

did not come to my home that night !;
do not know how Or where he went !;
did not shoot Page myself do not
know who did.
Ed Lands says: Was in Burgin' S

Brown about 6 O'Clock after dark he
called for his gun gave him pistol;
do not know what make of pistol it
would shoot 5 or 6 times he had left
it with me Oh Friday or Saturday be-
fore, had left it with me before more
than once ] took care of it for him
when he was in town did not say what
he wanted for j.; took out the cartridges
when he left it with me to prevent
damage; loaded the pistol when he
got it he was sober.
There were many other witnesses
examined by the State whose testlmo ny
was about the same as the above The
Judge read over the testimony and
stated the law 10 the jury. He told
the jury they had but one duty to per-
form and that was to say whether Ed
Brown was the man who shot Page. If
he did it was murder or nothing; there
was ID manslaughter in the case. The
jury remained out all night and next
morning returned verdict of "Not
Guilty" A slight applause followed
the announcement for which one man
who was identified was fined $40.
The Judge then turned to the jury
and said q fear this is dangerous
verdict for your county," and to the
defendant he said: ed Brown, a
merciful jury has said you are not
guilty. The court has no further use
for you now. You are discharged"
There are many who say Judge Phil
FPS is the only officer or person who
has shown any backbone" in this
disgraceful affair.

The State Guard.

The GOLD LEAF has already reverted
to the report of Col Richard l. Dodge,
OF the United States army, who was
specially detailed for duty as inspector,
&c, at the annual encampment Of the
North Carolina State Guard last su m
mer. We make another extract in
which he rebukes the State for its mig
. gardly conduct in failing to properly
provide for its troops. He says:
| have elsewhere had occasion to an
imadyert on the extreme Ncloseness"
of the North Carolina Legislature to-
wards the State troops. No pay, no
food, &c, forced to spend their own
money for the making Of their uniforms,
the rank and file would seemed to have
reached the limit OF forbearance. But
the condition Of the commissioned Of
flcers is even worse. Besides depriva-
tons in common with the enlisted
men, they are obliged to provide them
selves with full and undress uniform in
exact accordance with those of the
United States, at ali expense beyond
the reach of many who might make
the most valuable officers. Whatever
the knowledge and capacity the indi-
vidual, his ambition must be limited
by the capacity of his pocket. A poor
man however capable Can never hope
to be an officer. This is all wrong,
and at variance with the idea of our
lnstltutlons,whlch are supposed to open
the door of honorable ambition to rich
and poor alike.
Every officer of the State Guard, on
receiving his commission, should be
allowed a sum sufficient to enable him
to purchase his uniform.
1t is suggested that the present meth
Cd of equally dividing the money APP
propriated by the State Legislature be-
tween thirty companies is based on
wrong principals. Under the present
rulings a company Of twenty four rank
and file, however uncouth and ignorant
can, provided it "parades'' thirteen
times year, draw from the State gov
eminent exactly the same amount of
money as well drilled, efficient COM
pany of eighty-six men If the State
Legislature will not appropriate more
money, it would, in my opinion, be
long step in the interest of progress if
one half of the smaller inferior compa-
MES be disbanded and all the money
spent on the remaining companies.
Two regiments Of well-driled efficient
soldiers are worth in emergency
whole State full of rabble.

THE LAST TALK"

"Come into the garden and walk with me,
While the dancers whirl to that dreamy
tune,
See . the moonlight silrers the sleeping
sea,
And ali is as fair as a night I'm June.
Let me hold your hand as | used 10 do,
This is the last last time YOU know.
For tomorrow a lover comes to WOO
And to win you, though love you so.
You are pale, or is it the moonlight
CLEAN
That gives to your face that sorrOwfuI
look.
We must wake at last from our Summer
dream,
Love the poet has written we'll.
lie HAS won our hearts with his poem
sweet,
And now at the end we must say farewell.
All but the Summer was fair and fleet.
Do YOU remember the night we met?
You wore a rose in you yellow hair,
Closing nv eyes | can see you yet
Just as you stood on the topmost stair
A fIutter of white from head to foot.
A cluster of buds on your breaSt-Ah
me,
But the vision was never half so sweet,
As it is tonight in my memory.
Hear the vi0l's song, and the deep bassOn
Seems sObbing out in its undertOue
Some sorrOwful memory, the tune
Is the saddest one have ever known
Or is it because we must part tonight
That the music seems so sad to me?
You are weeping, love, and your lips are
white,
The ways of life are a mystery.
/ love you love with a love so true,
That in coming years j shall not forget
The beautiful face Of the dream | know,
And memory will always hold regret.
l shall stand by the sea as | stand tonight
And think of the Summer whose blossom
died,
Ere the frost of fate fell chill and white
On the fairesJ flower of Summer tide.
They are calling yOu-must L let you go
Must | say good bye and go my way?
Since we must part It's better So
Good bye is such a sOrrOWful word to say.
Give me darling one last sweet kiss,
SO we kiss Our dear ones and see them
die.
But life holds 10 parting so sad as this
God bless you and keep you-and Sc. good
