The will-matter, ag we. learn, had little to do with the subscquent homicide. Itdouit less, however, served to in»twme the minds of both., The. old man continued in anugly frame of mind—so much so that his wite, Lucindn Kittle, ‘consented to give him another glass of liguor to quiet him wnd induce sléep. This was toward the vlose of the aftérnoon.

The old lady told ‘him not to touch the child, probarly fesring tuat, 'n bis drunken’state, he might suff-rit to herinjured. - As they passed, the old man ealled out from the sonth room, ** Lét me rake the baby ;" hut the son unswere § by refusing him. During the abserte of the women at the barn, sccording to the story ot the accuséd, which, in this case, there ean be no reason for disputing, the old man tried to enter the north loom,. but wus Kept out by his sonshuarting the door against him? When the old lady eame n Bshe took the baby from’ the hands of the son, while the old mun and his boy seem to have proceeded at once to high words, and - soon to a struggle,. At least when the daughterin law came in, ghe found the old man endeavoring to push the son out into the woodshed, the old mdy expluining the nptter by saying thiat ner-husband bad tried to take the bahy, nd that Asa, she - thought, had choked uim.. Becoming separated. in some man uer, the old man came to the north door ind weain demanded to take eharge of the intant, but was refused by the danghterinlaw. The son then appesred at the e door, and was seized by the old uan, who, however, st the instance of the two women, let. him go, -To the evidence of the, daughter, she says, “Let go of him, ne’H come back," mnning, probably, that Asn would return to the sourh rooin, and. not rentain taking charge of the child — The evidence continues: *Asa said, Lt go of me; L 1 eome right back,” and saiid liokind o’ g et - @his was understood by the witness, as she explained, 88 an expression on the part of Asa, implying that hie would-come binek 'and. do some: thing extrsordinary.

P.ss ing on through the -door, probably notkuowing in his blindness and tury what e had done, hie fired at his' father. (He says-he only snappeéd the revoiver, and. does not remember firing it.) - After the shot the "old man appears to have been puashed up against the west wall from the floor, neat, which he was standing, or per hinps he retreated thither st sight of. the pistol.. When the diughter in law passed through, however, with her child toelarm the neighbors, she found the old wman ty ing with' his feet partly before the door, and actually stambled over him. - She discovered the son sitting astride " the. budy, and, despite her protestations, dush’ ing the head répeatedly against the floar, afl the while swearing horribly that he would Kill bim. .This was the last trang action pertaining strictly to the homicide which was witnessed. - We ‘have endeav ored to give as clear a-running aceount of the marter as conld be gathered from the menns at our disposal.

|- g : Read. z Every person’ who has an intelligent family of cbil iren will dcknowledge that a newspaper is one of the beat of means in fixipg in young minds a taste for read-: ing Children as "eagerly as grown persons await the approach «f the esrrier or the arrival of the mail for the paper.~ They. listen “more readily 'to the reading ‘of the periodical than to a bovk. - In the former they learn of incidents that are transpiring at home and in theit own country. And they mot only listen but read tuemeselves, and in so. doing learn in time to become good readers and get a fair idea of"every day practieal life. Go into a fumily where a newspaper of no kind ig taken, and you will find the inmatés ignorant, having no knowledge of the most commonplace circamstances whichi' are trunspiring in’ the neighborhood, except us they learn them through the ipstrumentslity, of distorted possip. Their plea in being thus destitute of informadon is “too poor, and have no time to read.”— They are too puor to educate#their chil: dren, tao poor to take the tirst step in the wny which will render them fit associntes for those who walk in wisdom's ways.— ‘Such prrsons are poor indeed, and always will be, as long as they suffer their offspring to grow up ignorant of the blessed privilege of reading.

And yet there are thousands of such cpersons to be found in every State. We (see their “marks” in almost every department of business.

Rendering Neighborhoods Agreeable, A single remark 1o regard torendering neighborhoods agreeable, and 1 close.— Next to an affectionate family, wn sngreeable neighborhood and gond society become objocts of desire, becsuse calcalated to ‘promote happiness: A continuous, tat. tling neighbourhood, where ench is backbiting his neighbor, or indulging unkind “feelings, is exceedingly nnuoying, besides souring the temper and lowering the tone ot morsl fvvlin* _The amount. and prevalence of neigitborhord scandal, is really surprising ; nor are religious denominations wholly exempt from its contuminatingand unholy inflaence. . This ought not go 10 be. So far trom it, the relations of neighborhoods showld be of the most triendly and accommodating character — Let the village scandal be frowned down hy every respectable citizen, and let tat. tlers be regarded as quite as bad as the one slandered. They are usaally éven much, worse, and slander others because they know that they themselves areiguilty, and in order toscrieen their own faulgs by charging them upon their neighbors, Disregard. them, and let the spleen; as it enters one ear pass out at the other. : One of tae’ best means of promoting . good feelings among neighbors is to manifest,and excite public spirit, to form literary and other societies, be free to bor row, and glad to lend (but al ways prempe to return, and to pay dainages,) and, above all, to torm associations or clubs, for the purchase of such articles as are required in families, © ° : ‘ = Lt the members of each family make frequent visits, and, especially, let the “upper crast”"—the aristocrats, those who are too good-to mingle with or marry-the rest of mankind — live on their pride; that is, let them alone, snd they will soon see their error and be induced to -unite 1n endeavors to promote good feeling and become useful members of society. — Howler's Phrenolegical Journal. ! Remarkable Surgical Operation. For some time past our whole community has been interested in a surgical operation that for its magnitude has fesy ¢quals, but we-have refrained from alluding to it until the result should be beyond-n-doubt. The history of the case, a 8 near as we can gather it, is that, between three and four years ago, & young lady named Mushler, an adopted danghter of Mr. Jacob Yaaer, theowell known farmer who resides on Elkhart Prairie; near this city, obs rved the commencement of & tumor growing on the abdemen. = Medical advice was taken and the girl was advised to- have the tuinor removeld, as the only means of care, Other counsels prevailed, however, and muny remedies-were tried to relieve the snfferer, but without eff-ct. A great ‘part of last year was spent in traveling in search of relief, but none was found. - Satisfied at last that an operation ‘would aff srd ner the only change of lite, she returned home and placed herself in the 'hands of thoge skillfal and popular Sargeons, Drs. Latta & Spuarklin, who, assisted by Drs, Harding, McAllister and Toms, removed the tumor, which weighed rixty-one poundsand a halt. The weight of the tumor wonld seem almost’ incredible; but it is attested by Mr., Yoder, Mr. Blough, Mr. Bimong anid others who were present. The operation was performedon the 24th of November; ‘and the patient is now entirely well, -~~~ - This is one of the most remarkable cases on record, that has been so success” fully treated, and to the skill of our Sargeons, and the care hestowed upon her by Mr Yoder and his wife, this young lady nwes her restoration, not only to henlth, but to life itself We take pleasure in referring to the successful termioation. of this case, not only to note the recovery of the patient, but asa testatimonisl of the skill and practical knowledge of the attending. physicians.— Joshen Times. ‘ N

To protect woud Dr.-Reinsch recommends the tollowing plan: “The wood, - unplaned, is to be placed for twenty four hours in a hguid composed of one part of concentrated sillicite ot potash (water - glass) and three parts pure water. After being removed and dried for scveral days the wood is again sonked in this liguid, - and, after being agnin dried, is paioted over with a mixture of one part of cement and foar parts of the shove lignid. When the first coat is dry, the painting should be repeated twice. The paint mixtare . shoulé be only mwde-up in small quanti. ties, as it rapidly becomes hard and dry. Waod thus treated becomes inflimmable and does not decay under the ground.
