In Clarence, consisting of John and Henrietts, husbaud and wife, and their three children, Willle, Delle, and Carrle. For many years previously to Jolin's removal to Clarence a famlily had resided thero by the name of Cox, Cox Scoior §¢ -’ laborer, nnd by smong other childran a daughter named Annje. Very svon after John's arrival In the placo Aunie, it appears, became sritten with him, and forced her society upon him at eveéry opportunity, In the course of time John's family fncreased to five fn number, and they are now as follows: Willle, 13 years of age; Belle, 11; Carrle, 0; Johnny, 4; and Hetty, 14 months, Beyond the recoption of an agontmous letter nothing of any material tm- portanca disturbed the tranquillity of John's household. He 1s a fine, sturdy fcllow, 41 years of age, ot saudy complexion, apparcntly good- natured and stralghtforward, His wife says he 1s & very good husband and » very kind father, On Batarday morniog last John recelycdalet- ter purporting to have been writien by a dactor who was attending his sister, who resfded at Looneyvlile, to the cffect that she was dying, and urging his immediate presence. On recelpt of this latter, John made the necewsary arrange- inents to go to Loonoyvllle, and in so doing catled ot the house of Annie to tell her how ho had pbeen called away, and requested hor to send her brother WIII to ace to the horses and drive the stage. Jolin left Clarence that night for Looneyville. On Sun- day evening Annio called at Johin's bouse about 7 o'clock and loft a lettor for Mrs. Taft. But she (Annle) did bot enter, althouch inylted to do so.

As tothlug was seen of the Tatt people, the Rev, John Kilbourn, o nuighbor, went to the house on Wedoes- day, , umd, paining sdmission, found four persous who had partaken of the powders in s terribly prustrale condition. He advised Mrs, Talt to at onco procure the services of & doctur. ‘This she at firat re- fused to do, but at his earnest solicitations sha withdrew her objections, and Dr. Lupp, of Clarence Hollow, was sent for.
