influence on the production OF the woven

! tragedy


Early this morning it was discovered
that MaryJ Lunsford, seanstress, about
thirty years old, residing near the Atlantic
depot, had been murdered in her bed
The most intense excitement was created


by the discovery, and several thousand
persons have visited the scene of the horror


during the day. The body was found on


bed III an upper room nearly naked; the


upper Stats OF the bed were broken. her


head resting near the floor. Her head was
almost severed from the body by horrible
cash in the throat extending from ear to
ear another laying one cheek open from
the mouth to the throat and a deep cut,
about six inches IN length, extending
downward in the abdomen. Phe upper
part OF the bed and pillow were saturated
with blood, o large pool of which was on
the floor. Her arms were terribly beaten,
and her body bore evidence of fearful
struggle with the fiend.


a negro living in another pnrt OF the
same house was awakened by the struggle
and cries about l o'clock, and tried the
door, but could not gGin admission. He
then went to q neighbor for help, which
was refused on the plea that lie must have
been dreaming, and that everything was
right He then waited till morning before
he acquainted other persons with his sus-
picions that something was wrong in the
w0pan's apartment. A coroner's Jury has
been sitting on The case this afternoon,
and adjourned this evening till Monday.

No mind, however sacred, no heart, how.

A mother is truly our guardian spirit
upon earth. Her goodness shields and pro

her absorbing love, and ezpiating our many
sins with her blessed prayers.
And when our mother, with all her bur.
den of love, her angelic influence, her saint
ly care, ceases her beauteous life, how much
we lose of home, of happiness, of Heaven
no one can reckon, for our mother was none
but ours, and we only can know how holy
she was-how sacred her memory must al.
