This is the way the editor feels when he does up his sentiment in blank verse: “I would flee from the city’s rules and laws—from its fashions and forms cut loose— and go where the strawberry grows on its straw, and the gooseberry grows on its goose; where the catnip tree is climbed by the cat as she clutches for her prey —the guileless and unsuspecting rat on the rattan bush at play; I will catch at ease the saffron cew and the cowlet in their glee, as they leap in joy from bough to bough of the cowslip tree; and list while the par- tridge drums his durm, and the woodchuck chucks his wood, and the dog devours the dogwood plum in the primative solitude. “Oh, let me drink from the moss- grown pump that was hewn from the pumpkin vine!

Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 18.—Ac- cording to the particulars received | here from Barkersville, Callaway county, the scene of the Epperson Hofer tragedy, the killing of Hofer was the result of an attempted out- rage upon the young lady, who, in the absence of her father, avenged the assault upon her by taking the life of her assailant. This was clear ly proved at the inquest held by the coroner of Callaway county yester day over the remains of Hofer. Miss Epperson stated on the wit ness stand that Hofer came in from the field about 11 o'clock with a wagon load of corn which he un- loaded and then went to the house! saying it was too late to return to the field for another load until after dinner. She was preparing the meal }and when she went into the smoke house for some purpose Hofer fol lowed her and made shameful ad vances, which she resented. She was alone in the place with the man and pleaded with him not to insult her. He replied in a derogatory way, threatening to disclose relations which he claimed he knew existed between her and her beaux. Mad- dened by his manner and language she told him if he did not desist she would blow his brains out. Hofer, the girl continued, follow- ed her from the smoke house to the kitchen and had no sooner entered the room than he made an assault upon her and choked her almost to insensibility when the arrival of the other hands at the barnyard from | the field caused him to desist and leave the room. | Before the other men had reached | the house and had seated themselves at the table, the girl continued, she recovered from the fright and shock consequent upon the assault and went to the room where her father's | Pistol was kept. When she procur- ed it Hofer had sat down at the ta- ble with the other men and she shot him. The only other testimony was that of one of the negro hands. William Cason, who corroborated Miss Ep- Person's statement so far as the shooting was concerned and added that he had gone to the house be fore the other men and found the! girl crying. She told him she want ed Hofer put off the place and that she would kill him if he appeared in the house if he was the last German Onearth. Cason tried to intercept her as she entered the I room, pistol | in hand, but the fatal shot was fired before he could turn aside. lhe weapon : The greatest excitement prevailed in the vicinity when the facts became | It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap- | ping paper, but it saved her lite.
