dautflitor of William iloeker, a
wealthy farmer of the above place.
She had for ttve or six years labored
at intervals under the hallucination

sin against what she termed “her
Immanuel,” and was in the Imbit of
building altars in her father’s Holds,
amtaaerinoinc lambs as u burnt of
fering to*pp<‘ac the wrath of her of
fended deity.
Yesterday, Air. Hooker went to
Carbondalc after a load of coal. His
daughter having muuil'-.-.tod sign.- "f
a roettrrenoe of her insanity, he left
a hired man to look after her, her
mother being dead The man went
away at noon, and diil led return to
the Bouse.
Sir. Hooker came back about two
o’clock in the afternoon. Entering 1
the kitchen nf bis house, he was hoi
rilled to find t lie body of his daugh
tar lying on the coals and ashes, of
what had once been one of her altars,
and burned to a crisp Her face and
the upper part of her body alone had
escaped. Bin- had constructed the
altar of pyre out. of a sot of quilting'
frames. She had torn up a portion
of the carpet and laid it. on the altar,
and made a pillow for her head. She
reclined oa her right side, and her
cheek was resting on her right hand.
Notwithstanding the intense ago
nv she giust have endured, her face
Wore a calm and peaceful expression,
and there was a smile on her lips.
In the family Bible, which was
found lying on tne parlor table, open
at tho Book of Job. was,the follown g
note address. I to hhr father;
Dear Fathf.k; My Immanuel a; -

me that f'have committed the Un

through the cleansing of Fire. I
will intercede for you, my dear fath

in the northeast corner of the house.
I wish to have my ashes buried in
my Immanuel ground at the north
west corner of the bouse. Good bye.
Meet me in the Eternal Ground.

Mr. Hooker went to the comer of
the house indicated in the note as t la

had staked out a space for her grave.
Alartin Prentiso, Justie.- of the

cation of the Daily Timf-s on tho first
day of January, 1875, in this city,

WRIGHT & CO. It will be unneces
sary to state tlmt this paper will bo
published in tho interest of no indi
vidual or set of men, but solely in
the interest of our city, our State,
and tho SOUTH.
Believing the only true and safe
principles upon which n Republican
Government can be successfully
maintained to be those found in the
platform of the Democratic party,
this journal will adhere to that faith.
It will lie our ambition to supply
the people with a wide-awake, pro
gressive paper, containing all the
National, Foreign and Local News,
the latest Market Reports, &c., and
in furtherance of our efforts, ask the
people to give us a generous support.
WEEKLY TIMES.
The Whekly Times will be a hand
some thirty-two column sheet, filled
with interesting reading matter, and
containing the Market Reports,
Local and General News, besides
articles on Agriculture, suited to our
farming interests and section of
country.

The “ECLIPSE” can be furnished all complete,

We have Testimonials from many of the larpeßt

a Cotton Press until they examine closely and
thorougly the “ECLIPSE,” and judge for them

Though far superior heretofore, we have made
RECENT VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS, giving all

Improved Power Press!
For Steam or Water Power.
FINDLAYS* IMPROVED POWER PRESS, for
steam or water power, possesses rare advantages
and conveniences. Screw pin in ten feat long;
gearing heavy ami strong, and instead of the
doubtful and dangerous “dutch" arrangement,
tight and loose pulleys with "shippers" are used,
thus insuring safety, certainty ami promptness of
action. This press will b* supplied with our new
patent Conical Rollers, a most valuable improve
