DISTRESSING

AND

FATAL ACCHMCNT.

A few days since Mr. James Watson, of Cincinnati, brought liis family to the residence ot Mr. C. Barbour, four miles northwest of the city, for the purpose of .spending the holidays. 1 he anticipated (pleasure of the visit was suddenly overcast yesterday afternoon by a terrible accident, which dooblle.-s ere this has resulted in the death of a Wight little son of Mr. Watson. The little fellow, only six years of age, picked up a pistol which was lying in an open trunk, and while looking in at the muzzle, it was accidentally discharged, the ball entering the forehead and passing through the brain. Dr. Link, of this city, was summoned, but on arriving found the brains oozing out, and not the least hope of saving the life of the boy. The wife of Mr. Watson is a sister of Mrs. ('. W. Harbour, and also of J[rs. W. P. Warren, of this city. The family have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends in this hour of terrible afilietion.

MORGAN.—We paid a visit to the jail yesterday afternoon and had a short interview with the condemned man, Morgan. He appears perfectly resigned to his approaching doom, and speaks in the highest terms of Sheriff Stewart for his kind treatment, and the facilities he has granted to him for the consolation and religious advice by Rev. Messrs. Stimson and Foxworthy. These gentlemen have been faithful in their ministrations and have spent much time with Morgan and ministered to his spiritual wants. The unfortunate man has been engaged in writing a great deal for the past day or two, and it is supposed he intends leaving a short history of his life for publication. He says he intends saying something on the scaffold, and those that are present may catch it if they want to. He speaks of his approaching fate with calmness and says that he is now "counting the meals."

his crime. We are under obligations to Sheriff

Stewart for his kind attentions, and the facilities he has afforded us for conversation with tho condemned men. —————

PATRONS

HUSBANDRY.—Our atten

tion has been called to this Order, tievoted more particularly to the interests of Fanners and Horticulturists, though not exclusive in its membership.— From what we can learn, it is the most social organization before the public, and meeting with great favor in all the States where it has been introduced. While it aims to advance education, and encourage sociill intercourse, it is also charitable and protective in its character. Indies are admitted to full membership, there being no side degrees. The Order is presented to the public by Masons and Odd Feilows in the highest degrees of those Orders, and consequently is meeting with a success unparalleled in the history of secret societies.

The work evidently means business, as in every town where a Lodge is organized a general business headquarters is established for the benefit of those members bringing produce to town, and they are also inaugurating a system of monthlyfairs for the purchase and sale of stock.

The Ritual contains four degrees in a subordinate Lodge, and said to be of the most attractive character. AVe are plcasjto learn that a branch of the Order is beganized here, with the intention of ting it headquarters for the State, and there, Deputies will be appointed to

ARREST OF SUPPOSED MURDERER!—

OF A

SUPPOSED MURDERER!—

Detective Ward Hayward, of the depot force, some time since received posters from the authorities at St. Louis, announcing a murder with description of the murderer, but up to Saturday of last week was unable to hit upon a clue. On that day, however, he received word that a person answering to the description was in Rockville, Parke county. With special policeman James Dundon he left at once in a buggy for Rockville and finding the person described, arrested him. He gives his name as George Bristoe. He was engaged in some kind of business there. They locked him up in the jail at Rockville and on yesterday arrived safely in this city with their prisoner. Hayward at once notified the St. Louis authorities of his arrest and asked for instructions.

The Chief of Police telegraphed that he answered the description and to bring him over, stating that a reward of $800 —three hundred by the city of St. Louis, and $500 by the relatives of the murdered man would be paid if he was the right man.

Hayward left on the midnight train for St. Louis last night with his prisoner. The murder of which he is supposed to be guilty was committed one year ago last May, since which time all efforts to arrest the murderer have been fruitless. Great credit is due to detective Hayward in working up the case and in making the arrest. —————

THIEF CAPTURED.—For several days, Ward Hayward, special policeman at the passenger depot, has been on the track of the man who stole Joseph Grover's harness, robes, etc., and have probably committed the other thieving depredations in this city during the past few weeks. On yesterday one of the fellows was caught at Indianapolis and brought over on the train last evening. It appears that this man hauled a lot of stolen goods from here to Cloverland, in a baby carriage. At that place he left part of it, the load being too heavy, and went on to Staunton, sending back word to ship the articles at Cloverland to James Kelley, Indianapolis. In the meantime Policeman Hayward got possession of the goods, and Mr. Grover recognized a portion of his property. The package was shipped to Indianapolis directed, and James Dundon was sent over to await the appearance of the man to claim the same. Hayward followed on Tuesday. The result was the capture of the thief as above noted. —————

A DRUGGIST IN A NEW ROLE!—"Wo learn that on Sunday evening Mr. Bindley, of the firm of Eberle & Bindley, attended one of Miss Poindexter's eeatica at Pence's Hall. He was a member of of the committee examine knots, said to be tied by the Spirits. He was of opinion that the job was not well done the Spirits, very obligingly tied her again, this time a little tighter still our friend Bindley was incredulous. Miss Poindexter got mad asserted that he could not get out if tied as-she was he said he could she dared him to try it he said he dared and the result was that he performed the tricks nearly as neatly as she did, even togettting out of the sack, showing hands, cet.

ANOTHER SUICIDE! —————

Again we are called upon to record that a mortal has voluntarily taken the long sleep that knows no waking. Wednesday morning a young man named George P. Barlow, of about twenty-five years, was discovered in room No. 53, at the Terre Haute House, with life extinct. A vial near the bed labelled "Laudanum" from the drug house of Barr, Gulick & Berry, made full explanation. The suicide seems to have gone calmly and deliberately to the work. When discovered by the bellboy at about ten o'clock yesterday mornings the door was unlocked, and the body was lying in the bed, undressed, clothes hanging up, and room in the same order as if he had retired for an ordinary sleep. On a table was found the following note, enclosed in an anvelope:

TERRE HAUTE, IND., Dec. 14th. DEAR FATHER:—Tell my younger brother to <beware> of the dissipated course which

has caused my death. Yours ever, GEORGE. P. S. Have me buried near my mother.

Coroner Christy was summoned and immediately empannelled [sic] a jury when the following evidence was taken:

JOHN E. WILKINSON being duly sworn deposed as follows: I know deceased, Geo. Barlow, of Effingham, Illinois; came here Saturday, 11th Dec.; came with his uncle, Thomas Craddock. Deceased sent into my place of business said he wanted a. drink of whisky and glass of water, about 10 o'clock last night.

MARTIN JAKELY, (bell boy,) deposed as follows: Came in last night with whisky for deceased. Deceased said he was sick; 11 o'clock; saw deceased this morn ing about ten o'clock dead.

JOHN M. EASTON deposed as follows: Know the deceased; have known him from infancy; has been living in Mobile; then went to Cuba; was in the Quartermasters Department in Mobile. He sent to me an order by a boy about 12 o'clock last night to borrow ($25) twenty-five dollars. He was then playing billiards.

R. H. SIMPSON deposed as follows: That at 12 o'clock to-day, to-wit: the 15th day of December, 1869, I saw and read a note directed to John M. Easton, which said note was delivered to the said Easton last night—the night of the 14th inst.—as he informs me, at two o'clock A. M., asking him for the loan of twenty-live dollars.

EZRA READ, a practicing physician being duly sworn, says that upon examination of the body of George Barlow, he finds distinct rigors of death—that the body is not emaciated—that he lies in an easy position with eyes closely closed, position of legs seem flexed, left arm flexed and hand near the chin in an easy and natural position, right hand resting upon his chest in easy position, hips and legs turned upon left side, back and shoulders in easy position and partly on left side —head elevated by pillow in easy position and inclined forward upon chest—body warm beneath it and blankets covering covering him warm—well covered with clothing and seems to have fallen to sleep and death composed and easily.

Upon the testimony adduced and a bottle of Laudanum, one ounce, being upon his table and emptied except a few drops, I am of the opinion that he died from the effects of Laudanum taken of his own will and that deceased died about six o'clock on the morning of the l5th dayof December 1869.

After hearing the above evidence the jury returned the following verdict: We, the undersigned jurors, empannelled and sworn by David L. Christy, Coroner of Vigo county, State of Indiana, on the l5th day of December, 1869, to inquire into and true presentment make how and in what manner and by whom George P. Barlow, whoso dead body was found in room No. 53 at the Terre Haute House, in the city of Terre Haute, on the l5th of December, 1869, came to his death, after having examined his body and heard the evidence, we find that the deceased came to his death by an over-dose of laudanum administered by his own hands.

will give further demonstrations.

COMMON PLEAS COURT.—The Common Pleas Court, on yesterday, called the docket through for rules, motions and defaults. A large number of eases were disposed of on the call, and others were set down for trial on special days. The docket contains two hundred and twentythree cases,

forty

of which only are

vorce suits.

HOGS.—\\ stated a few days since that probably not 1 •",'00 hogs would be packed at this point the present season. We now learn that the number will reach 16,000 or 17,000. Up to this date over 9,000 have been packed. The prices continue quite stiff, Buyers were paying yesterday $11,75 net for hogs weighing 200 pounds and upwards and 9,00( 9,50 gross.

The father and brother of the deceased, on being telegraphed, came the same evening from Effingham, Ills., where they re-

ide, both being highly esteemed members of society. The father is a most exemplary, and pious gentleman, well known as for many years a successful merchant, now retired from business. George, the deceased, was the only member of the family that was dissipated. After the war he went South and there contracted his dissipated habits. He became attached to a young lady who it is said reciprocated the attachment, but kept him off and finally discarded him on account of his bad habits. This seemed to push him onward in his career of dissipation.

On Tuesday he wrote his brother that he was in this city, and desirous of going south, requested him to forward some railroad passes in his possession. This would go to show that the thought of suicide had not entered his mind up to the morning he took the fatal potion. —————

MR.PERRYS. AA'ESTFALIJ, of the Terre Haute EXPRESS, made his debut in opera at Terre Haute, a night or two since, taka prominent part in the represcntaion of "The Haymakers." It is reported hat Perry made a decided hit, and it has been suggested that he will probably abandon newspaper life, and become an artist. AVe suggest to Manager Leake that it might be profitable to effect an enagement with him to appear liercv after Edwin Adams.—Indianapolis

THE PLACE OF EXECTUION.—Sheriff

Stewart informs us that he has resolved to erect the gallows for the execution of Morgan in the center of the crossing of Market and Walnut streets, a few yards soutli east of the jail building. The scaffold will be entirely enclosed, and a strong guard placed at a proper distance all around to keep off the crowd that will undoubtedly be in the vicinity of the jail on that occasion.—<Journal>.

We are advised that there is no truth, whatever in the above. The gallows will be erected in the space north of the jail building, and the execution will be conducted with all the privacy possible. —————

Sillvcr Tongues for Holidays.

AVe indulged ourselves last week, after a hard day's work, in making a call upon the celebrated "Silver Tongue" manufactory of Messrs. E. Pt Needham & Son, of this city. AVe hardly know which the more surprising, the demand now existing for these organs, or the improve' ment made in them during the past few years. It will abundantly repay any of our readers, who may happen to visit the great and enterprising city of Gotham to take a look at the beautiful new styles of cases, and listen to the sweet silver tones of these enchanting instruments before leaving the city. AVe know of no gift more appropriate for the holidays, or, in fact, for any days, holy or otherwise. It has been aptly said that "a thing of beauty is a joy forever." and when to the beautiful exterior of "The Little Gem" is added .its sweet silvery tones, it becomes a joy indeed—not only delighting the eye, but enchanting the ear, and fully realizing the old philosopher'^ dream of theuscful and the beautiful combined. AVe once possessed one of these instruments, and it was truly the sweetest, evenest and most miisic-al reed instrument it has been our good fortune to hear. Its silvery notes were like the crowning locks of some good old patriarch, flowing gracefully and sweet, and only becoming more and more silvery as time advanced.

The above we take from the

Christian

The tone of a piano should be smooth, pure, mellow, powerful and full. It should avoid the metalic rfoisy twang, on the one hand, and the tliin, ni'eager tones, on the other hand, which are the great faults of most pianos made. Many times have we seen what was to us evidently the

least

desirable piano in a lot,

electcd after a protracted examination and comparison as the

best.

With regard-to quality and equality of tone, quickness and elasticity of action, andsimilar points, skillful pianists and good musicians are undoubtedly the best judges. With regard to the quality of material an 1 construction, affecting the durability of a piano, the chief reliance must be on the manufacturers.

The piano firm of AVm. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore, most certainly enjoy the confidence of the best musical profession ind the press, whom, throughout the United States, voluntarily concede their pianos to be superior to all others in every respect. The fact that the Knabe pianos are so universally admired is, because they possess every requisite to make a piano as perfect as possible, round, full and powerful tone, equality, and the same character throughout the scale, quickness of action and rapidity of utterance capacity for sustaining the singing quality, together with beauty and thoroughness of construction. all the principal points they are conceded by the* best authority in the land to stand unequalled.

HOW TO JUDGE OF A PIANO—KN'AUE'S TIIE BEST MADE.

To judge the merits of a piano canhot be taught any one thoroughly by pointed directions, or even by a few iessons. Musical cultivation and much experience are necessary to qualify one to form a reliable judgment and even with these there are many points which cannot be tested by mere examination. In that first requisite, quality of tone, one not much experienced, is very liable to err,, preferring, at first, perhaps, a quality of tone, which will not continue to please. Every good musician knows that the violin) where it is a good one, is greatly better stand for quality than any other instrument known. It is more sympathetic and rich, has more volume, and will ever continue to please. Moreover it is difficult to judge between the merits of tones of pianos, heard separately and in different places. The room in which a piano stands has so much influence that an inferior instrument in a favorable position may appear better than" one which is really superior, but which is not favorably placed.
