CRIME at MT. STERLING,

About four o'clock in the morning,
Sunday, December 29, there were sew
eral shots heard by the family of Mr..
O'Neil who resides near Mt. Sterling
and not far from Boscobel. Upon in
vestigation it was found that both
O'Neil and his wife, who were in bed,
were shot Two physicians were called
and both think they will recover.
O'Neil says that ne did the shooting,
for which he purchased a revolver, a
81 calibre. at a store ia Boscobel, about
two months ago. He further says that
since he purchased it, he has twice
prepared to commit the deed, but both
times was interrupted; that he bad Sc
GREETED the weapon in the granary and
having an opportunity upon the above
mentioned date, placed the revolver
to the left side of his wife and fired;
then sitting up in the bed he attempted
to complete the double tragedy by firing
shot into his own breast, after which
he fell back in bed and was too nervous
to fire again.
O'Neil says that he is too mean
to live, and wishes that he could
die. Some say that past family trouble
led him to do the rash deed while Others
lay it to insanity. His mind at present
is perfectly clear and bright

DR.. Ham, of New York City, will
make his next visit in this city Tuesday,
Jan. IL, at the Wright House. The
doctor is no stranger in our community.
He makes regular visits here and his
many patients are ready to bear witness
to the efficacy of his treatment and the

cases other physicians pronounced in

and DR.. Hams success is as remarkable
as it is substantial. His reputation
rests upon the solid basis of work done,
and of value rendered for every dollar

confound DIR. Ham with the ordinary

and themselves, for by consulting him

future time, but call and see him al
