Many Thanks.
Mr. G. H. Harrell has placed us
under many obligations to himse f
by presenting us with a basket of
fine vegetables. The onions espe
cially were the finest we have seen
this season, and tiiey were perfectly
delicious. If there is any particu
lar weak point about an editor, ii is
his appetite, and if any of our reads
ers should ever wish to get the ups
per hand of us, just let ttiern do as
f’ftlr. H- has done and the thing is ac
complished. A hint to the wise is
sufficient.

AN AWFUL TRALEDT.
An liuans Woman Kills berllusband with
an Axe.
Yc.-terday morning Messrs. John
liusscll ad T F. Hate her brought
Mrs, Mary J. Whitaker under ars
r> st to Lou'Sv ID, to be lodged in
jail for safe keeping, und< r a charge
of killing her husband. The pir.ii
culars ol which, as near as we could
get them, are as follows :
Ou Tuesday morning list, be
tween midnight and day Mrs Ward,
who is living in the yard of Mr.
Joshua P. Whitaker, and is tlie
mother of his wife, heard a noise as
if some on'e was beating another and
heard so ne one groaning, a? she
thought, but the noise soon stopped
and she could h-ar nothing, but she
soon saw Mrs. Miry J? Whittaker
puss by the house s >me three or
four time?, and loaring that some*
thing se-ious had happened she got
up and went out 10 s-e what v»as
the matter, but Mrs. Whitaker had
go 1 out of sight and she could not
see or hear anything Not feeling
satisfied to stop heie, she wok up
some ot the hands on the place 10 go
with her into Mr, .Whitaker’s house
to s-e what was the mutter. When
tney op n-d ih • door tney could see
f om the light in their hands, Mr.
W. I>ing 00 his b-d and Ins la. e and
hea l was v-ry blood?. Tins sight
ol curse flightened them and they
Would not go into the house, but s-m
aft-r Mr. Hitcher, » bo lives a short
distance away. He got there in a
tew nurute-> and went into ihe house
and foun t Mr, Joshua P. Wbnaker
lying on the tied, dead. He had
be-n siruek on the 1 ead six times
wiih an" axe, breaking the skull
ev-ry lick. Os course this was an
awful sight 10 look upon. The near
est neighbors were s nt i-r imme
diately and an iuves'iga ion of the
terrible affair be-an to take place;
Mrs. W, had made her escape, car
rying with her, her three children,
ihe oldest ot which \va3 only six
years old See was found about i.i .e
-r ten o’clock ilia' day and carried
b lore Justice Russell and commit'
ted lo jail for luri her hearing. Mr.
R al.-o field a co-oner’s inq i- s' ov< r
ihe body of ih-deceased, and the
verdict of tie jury was that lie c 11:1c
to his dea h by blows infl cted with
an axe or other sharp instrument in
the hands of some unknown person.
The evidence is not positive tfia
Mrs W. commuted the at, but
from all the circumstances no.mec ed
with the aw ful alllnr, she is undo .b'
edly the gui’ty party. She has beeif
pretty badly if ranged lor some t me
aiui Mr. W. vv .s war e.i to watch
her, bat he paid he was not af.aid
of her. She will not speak to any one,
on any su ject since she arrived in
town. Mr. W. was a peac-r ble and
hard working arizen, and his umime
ly death will b- regieited by mam.
He live l ii the upper part of the
county about twenty miles from
Luii-ville. Mrs. Whit ak-r is now
cuifi e ! in j iil and will have to re'
main there until ihe November tern
ol the Superior Court, unless there
is a called term of the Conn f>r her
especial case, and we trust that
Judge Johnson w ill m ike this call,
for ii is a great pity that she shoe and
have id remain nere i ■ jail so long.
Fros. Bond, the W.re Walker.
Y serdav morning, according to
appointment. Prof. Bond drove into
town and had his wire stretched
over the tops ol two of the s ores
and between three and four o’clock
p. m. he aseend-d to the top
of one pf ihe stores and proceeded to
show to the crowd, who had assem
bled to witness his Fat?, what lie
knew about wireswalking. He did
everything that he advertised ;
walking forward and backward,
balancing on one fool, sitting down,
lying down, hanging by one 1-g,
hanging by ihe toes, gymnastic per
formance. walking withboihf-e in
a bag, then with his head in the bag.
The perfoimanee closed wi h the
imitation of an old lady drunk,
and br mghi down the house, <>r we
should sav th- Professor Right in
the midst cf the performance he left
the wire, comedown <m ihe ground
and took up a collection which neit
ed him $30.29. He thanked the
citizens for their kind liberality and
said that Louisville contained more
liberal hearted citizens according to
her population than any lit le to wn
he had visited since he had been in
the Siaie. His fea's were all good
and the cowd that saw him were all
well pleased anil seemed satisfied
that they had got their money’s
worth.

What sh .1! we say of a life so sb ri
save he was never known to speak

exhibited strong musical talent, giv

he did present the bill it was very
small. • in our qui-t reading? ami
