A Willful Murder.

Last Monday night, about 10 O'Clock,
the usual quictness of the city at that
hour was disturbed by the cry Of "Po-
lice Police" The officers promptly re-
sponded to the call, when thoy learned
that, on the promises Of Mrs. Lucy Cater,
who lives on Grcenvillc street, near tho
suburbs Of the city, a horrible murder
had been committed. The parties are all
colored. The murderer is named George
Crawford, and his victim Harvey Bur-
ton.
Coroner Nance was notified, and carly
Tuesday morning visited the scene Of the
murder. He at once organized jury of
inquest and began an investigation OF tho
terrible crime. There were three wit
nesses, Cora Crawford, wife of the mur-
derer, Annah Agnew and Henry Heard,
bali-brother Of Burton. From the evil
dence Of these three witnesses, the facts
are about as follows:
George Crawford is a married man, but
he and his wife, Cora Crawford, had not
lived together for several months. The
latter had rented cabin on Mis-. Caters
premises, and Annah Agnew lived with
her. Henry Heard conducts g restau-
rant on McDu1lie street, and he had hired
Cora Crawford to assist his wife in tho
restaurant On Monday evening Burton
there until 1t closed, when Cora Crawford
asked m and Heard to accompany her
home, as Crawford, her husband, had
threatened to kill her, and she was
afraid to go home by herself. Both Of
the men complied with her request, and
after spending q few minutes i'll her
house, Heard proposed to Burton to 60.
The former stepped to the door and open
ed it, and, as he did so, Burton stepped
in front Of him. Immediately O. gun was
fired and Burton, clasping his hands to
his breast and without a groan, fell to the
floor corpse. The murderer immedi-
ately started of at a brisk pace with his
gun in hand. It was then that Cora
Crawford recognized the murderer as her
husband, George Crawford, and she hall
cd him and told him that he had killed
Burton. Crawford replied, with an oath,
that that was what he meant to do.
The wound was a most horrible one.
It was on the left breast, just above the
heart, and large enough to put an egg in.
DR.. bucket made the pest mortem exam
ination. He testified that the weapon
used was shot gun, and that the muir
derer was evidently standing within
few feet of his victim when the shot was
fired.
The Jury returned verdict in accord
ance with the above facts.
1t is the general supposition that Craw.
ford intended killing Heard instead of
Burton, as he had sent message to his
(Crawford's) wife to cease working for
Heard.
Crawford has not been heard Of since
the crime, but Sheriff Bolt is doing his
best to arrest him.
The murderer has the reputation of be-
ing rascal, while Burton is known as
quiet, peaceable negro.

THE FIRST SLEEP.
1t Is Deeper and Swccter Than That
Which Comes Afterwards.

1t Is Deeper and Swccter Than That
Which Comes Afterwards.
How long does our First sleep" last?
Sir James Crichton Browne, in his Ice
ture Mt the Midland institute on brain
Rest" told his hearers that ordinary
sleep grows deeper for the first hour
and half and then steadily diminishcs
until the slumberer awalcns DIR.
Browne pleads for eight hours for nc
lively working brains, though ascctic
notions have led many people to short
en- the time, with the result that in
certain cases it has been proved that
the amount of sleep may be consider
ably reduced without injury. Literary
men are apt to starvc the brain in the
matter of sleep, but some nevertheless,
have got on pretty well in spite of in
somnia. Carlyle and Rossetti furnish
instances. DR.. Browne quoted Il letter
from his friend, DIR. Tyndall, who says
'for four weeks l never had u single
second of sleep and during those nights
| walked thousands of times round my
room to no purpose. What astonishes
me above all Che adds) is, notwithstand-
ing my nights WEAKNESS, my brain
power does not appear to be scnsibly
impaired. After two or three hours
sleep feel my brain MS strong and
clear as it ever was at any period of my
life" 1t was, in Sir j. Crichton
Brownies opinion, impossible to doubt
that nutrition and repair must have
gone on in the brain during periods of
sleeplessncss. The brain, in short,
must, as he expresses it. ''havc learned
the trick OF the heart and gone to sleep
during the beats, or it must have slept
in ccnters which were not active at the
same time"

A MOTHER BEAR.
Her Anxiety for tho Safety CT Ire
Young,

Her Anxiety Tor tho Safety CT Her
Young.
The surgeon of u vessel sailing from
England to Hudson's bay, in 1879.
made this entry in his journal for July
25. OF course, says the Youths Com
panion, what the doctor calls the silver
bear must be the white polar bear of
arctic regions.
This day, while sailing through
struggling ice, one OF the men on the
quarterback observed, at few yards
distance, n silver bear and hei. two
young cubs. The captain Immediately
ordered the jolly-boat to be lowered,
and mushets, etc, to be got in rcadi-
ness; and all things being prepared, the
first mate, with three or four mon, set
out in pursuit. We wcro all leaning
over the deck, waiting with the great
est anxiety for the interesting scene
that we expected to witness.
"They had not gone many yards from
the vessel, when bchcld u very affect
ing sight The mother, observing their
approach, and aware of their intention,
set up most doleful cry, and presently
claspcd her two young ones within her
two torcpaws. First she would look at
one, then at the other, and again re-
sumo her pitcous cry.
Seeing the men.comc still nearer, she
got the cubs on her back and dived
under water to q considerable distance;
when exhausted, she made to tho ice
for shelter. This sho did several sue
cessivc times.
"The men who went out for the pur-
pose of shooting her were SO Justly
affected at the sight that they humane
ly returned to the ship without dis
charging their musllcts. Still, however,
the poor bear apprchended danger.
After getting on Il detached piece of
ice, she again claspcd her young ones
with the greatest tenderness, and con-
tinued her hcart-mclting cries.
