prise which promises much good for
that section of the State. 1t is the es-
tablishment of a canning factory.

The State funding board last week
forwarded to the States fiscal agents in
New York $500, 900 in 15-year 4 per
cent coupon bonds, which will be de-
livered to Frederick Ward, who re-
Gently contracted to take that amount
at par. The bonds are issued under a
law enacted by the last Legislature
which authorized the issue of 4 per
cents, to retire the 511 per cents and 6
per cents, and the proceeds will be SO
utilized. This will save the State about
S23, 600 interest per annum.

found he was cold in death, but what
seems strange his legs and feet were on
the ground. Blood was running from
his nose, his teeth cllnched on his
tongue until it was nearly bitten in two,
and his face was blackened and dis
torted.
FROM Pea Ridge, village in Dickin-

ing which occurred recently. James

caused by Carver raising objections to
the kind of house she kept. Mrs. Hayes
determined to rid the neigh borhood of
Carver, and went to his house armed
with shot gun. Carver was away, but
Mrs. Hayes apparently satisfied her
wrath for the time being by several
times pointing the gun at Mrs. Carver
and heaping abuse upon her. A day or
two afterward Carver and Mrs. Hayes
had another bout, and she again went
to his house, armed as before, and told
him to come out He did so, with an old
musket in hand, and embedded 10 large
shot into her face and breast before she
could fire at him.
