to take me bv the collar of my coat

A SOX nx; LS HIS FATHER liY SHOOTING HIM
WITH A GUN.
On last Friday evening a most
shocking murder occurred on the
farm o'. Col. George N Lester, three
miles fsoni Marietta, Ga., in which a
son imbrued his hands in the blood of
the at;A >r of his being. The murder
ed man. Andrew Jones, was a colored
man e"kitty y ars old and ‘a tenant
farmer, *..td his son, Andrew, 17
yea.-a L
wife a-*. wer 1 the sole occupants
of ti e * kin.
Op i ■ ("> "ai-ig named, about seven
o’clo Av.drew came homo, after
aweary tramp, having been out trying
to buy ■, mule to supply the place of
his hyivo that had !>ro!m his neck the
night i ’fore. A neighboring colored
woman was present on his arrival,
and began to discuss the relative ad
vtintag: 1 and di advantages of a mule
and yoke of ox m which he contem
plated bpyin; . The boy Andrew ob
j acted to buying the oxen and sai 1 he
wouldn't work them. The old mm
intimat: 1 that he was boss of that
“shebang.”
About! this time the visiting i. 'gi
woman ■'got, tip to leave; they asked
her to stay for supper, but she de
clined i7*.i went, to her cabin several
hundrec. y .ri- distant, and she had
about gfjv home, when her husband

house, tie went over ill re and . umd

I ion of the ho ly. The and :t rs probed
s ium six iu dies, and thought it was
very sfiitnge that the hammer of a
gun shoiild make such a deep lnde.
Ttiey were not s-atisfied, aud on open
ing the mat)they found several lead
slugs. The old woman was asked
how cam i the lead to be in his body.
She in Aft ican j irgou said, “She b i I
put deni'leads on de lids ob de ole
man’s eyes, and fore she link he mus
sel' swa.low ’em.” Old Andrew’s
clothes wtrs then found and there
wore the p-wder-burnt holes through
thtni, establishing conclusive proof,
with t*H: Sliding of thi lead slugs, that
the old man had been shot with some
kind of a gun or pistol. But the old.
negro woman said, “He must bab
burnt his rbithes will i.is pipe.”
T!i6 co*.l indifference exhibit and by
the old woman and son was astonish

while t hi* *.i •• >l*9 were cutting opt p

shot and killed, but .when an officer
took chart’,:.' of tbo boy aud was bring

having hut J*.io father, to keep him
from si: Jg*him. An inquest was
held and tike CoroQtrs’s Jury return
ed a verdict finding Andrew Jones,
Jr., and Jones as pricipals in
the murder of An hew Jones, Sr.,and
■ they were !mth put in jai!.
The boy says his father was going
to scald Ins mother with a pot of hot
coffee, and he tried to prevent it, and
his father then tided to shoot him and
he had to kill his father to save his
own life. The Court will deal with
the matter and other developments

A Wisconsin paper contains the
following
not believe in imnieision for baptism
was holding a protracted meeting,
and one night prWched on the sub
ject of baptism. In the course of his
remarks he said, some believe it ne
cessary to go down into the water,
and come out of it, to im baptised;
but this ho claimed to bo'a fallacy, for
the preposition “into” of the Scrip
tares should be rendered differently,
fur it does uot mean into at all times,
‘vloses,” he said, “we are told, wuut
up into !hc mountain, and the Savior
was taken into a high mountain, etc.
N. w we do.not suppose that either
went into a mountain, but unto it. So
with going down into the water; it
simply means going down close by or
near the water, and being baptized in
the ordinary way by sprinkling or
pouring.” He carried out tin's idea
fully, and in due season and style
cloud his discourse; then an invita
tion was given for any one so disposed
to arise ami efpress his thoughts.
Quite a number of his brethren arose
ami said they were glad they had been
present on this occasion; that they
wore well pleased with the sound ser
mon they had just heart], and felt
t mil* souls greatly biased. Finally, a
corpulent gentleman of Teutonic ex
traclion, a stranger to alb arose and
broke a silence that was most painful,
as follows :
“Mister Breadier, I ish s > glad I

A portly gentleman crowded him

Slimmer really deserves pity, for it
certainly was uncommonly rough on
him. Tie was going to Rending the
other day, and when he reached the
lepot he happened to look into the
ladies’ room. A woman sat there
with a lot of baggage and thrree cliil
dren, and when she saw Slimmer she
rushed at him, and before be could
defend himself she flung hc-r arms
tb at bis neck, nestled her head upon
his breast and burst into tears. Slim
mer was amazed, indignant, confoun
led; aud before he could find utter
'.„nco for his feelings, she exclaimed:
“O, Henry, dear Henry ! We are
united nt last. Are you well? Is
Aunt Martha still alive ? Haven’t
you longed to see your own Louisa?”
And she looked into Slimmer’s face
and clung bo him, and smiled through
her tears.
“Madam,” said lie solemnly, “if I
am the person alluded to as Henry,
permit me to say that you have made
a mistake. My name is Lemuel. I
have no Aunt Martha, and I don’t
own a solitary Louisa. Oblige me by
letting go my coat. It excites re
mark.”
The she buried her bonnet deeper
into his waistcoat, and began to cry
harder 'than ever, aud said:
“O, Hmiry, how can you treat- me
so ? How can you pretend yon are
uot my husband ?”
“Madam,'’ screamed Slimmer, “if
you don’t cease sopping my shirt bo
som, und remove your umbrella from
my corn, I shall be obliged to call the
police. Let me go I say.”
“Tke'chihlren are here,” she persis
ted. “ihey recognize their dear fa
ther. Don’t you, children ?’
“Yes, yes,” they exclaimed, “it’s pa,
our own dear pa.”
And then they grabbed Slimmer by
the trousers and hung to his coat
t >il.
“Woman!'’ he shriekt and, “this is
getting serious Unhand me, Isay.”
Auu he trial to disengage himself
ti'um nor embrace—while all the
brake-men and the baggage master,

!iis conduct was infamous. In the
midst of the struggle a stranger en
tered with a carpet-bog. He looked
exactly like Slimmer—and when lie
saw his wife in Slimmer’s arms he was
excited, and floored Slimmer with a
carpet-bag and sat on him, and somte
his nose, and asked him what he
meant. Slimmer was removed on a
stretcher, and the enemy went oft
with his wife and family in a cab. He
cube 1 next day to apologize. His
wife had made a bad mistake because
of Slimmer’s likeness to him. And
now Slimmer wishes lie soon may bo
kiced in Hie face by a mule, so that
he will resemble no other human be
jug on earth.
Ti:e Condensed Milk Man.
Gail Borden, the “Condensed Milk
Man,” died in Colorado County, Tex
as, recently, in the seventy-third year
of his age. Mr. Borden first came
to New York from Galveston, Texas,
in 18,70 he invited what is called meat
biscuits, containing, in the smallest
the nutritive prop
ertied of the beef or other meat used in
its manufacture. After thorough torts
both in this country and Europe, the
liighc .t authorities pronounced the
meat biscuit an excellent article, le
taii.iug unimpaired the nutritive prop
*tk;s of its constiueuts. A council
medal was awarded at the great exhi
bition in London in 1851. The re
port on the subject says : “A more
simple, economical and efficient form
of portable concentrated food than the
American meat biscuit has never been
brought l?cWe the public.
Preparations of milk were known in
Europe and in this country, but they
were too costly to admit of general
use, and, me reover, foreign substances
were introduced which \v< re h ss nu
tritive than new milk. Mr. Bordi n
was the man to overcome ail obstacles
in this matter, and ho set to work with
great zeal aud confidence. His ex
periments were long and expensive,
but lie at length succeeded. The first
factory which he established was at
Litchfield, Conn., and the demand for
the milk still increased. In 1860 more
extensive works were creettd in Dutch -
ess. county, New York, on the line of
the Harlem Railroad, where three
vacuum pars w< re employed, capable
ot working 5,000 gallons per day.
Another factory was established at
Brester’s Southeast, Putnam county,
Another at Livermore Falls, Me., and
another at Elgin, Kano count}, I ih,
the two latter having each a capacity
of 2,000 gallons per day. At the lat
ter place there is also a factory for
the manufacture of the extract of
beef.
