On Wednes- day night some persons near the depot heard cries of murder proceeding from the eastward and on going over found the woman Carol with her face scratched and bruised and HER CLOTHING RLOOD' They carried her to the depot, where she wade as comfortable as possible, aud he furkeswere found not to be se She re mained at the depot all night, and yester-lay morning disappeared very suddeniy, having ently refused during the night to tell 2eui and where she got the marks of y lenee apon her.

[vnt THEORY OF THE RLOODY AFFAIR ich receives most credit among the resilents hborhood is that the woman. Caro- line was jealous of the deceased for having married Crampton, and knowing that the de- ceased was at work washing for Mr. F. M. gruder’s family on Wednesday, Carolin: afternoon secreted himself in the bushes near and waylaid her victim. The ap- nee of the deevased and Caroline would had a desperate struggle ai t point, but Caroline being armed with the cub came off victorious. It is « somewhat sin- ular coincidence that the first husband of the deceased should have been killed near the seme place during the war with a club. The affair uses considerable excitement in the neighbor- hood of Beltsville and Sanny Sid any (identical with House bill 9579,) which pro that the government shall improve the river and harbor.

HENION’S practice is mostly diseases of « Chronic pature, and cases given mp as incurable. His treatment is peculiar to himself, although there have Ween men in all ages who have had the same Mag. netic Power over the diseases of the body and mind. Some call it the“GIFT OF HEALING,” yet few have possessed it tosnch au extent over nearly all diseases and persone. ‘Tie practice is based apon the most strict principles of science; there is nothing miraculous or eupernatural about it; ts in barmouy with all natural laws. By thistreatment it takes but afew minutes for veterate cases of almost any cnrable Chronic dis- cake; and so sre is the effect that but few diseases require a second treatment. Dr. Henion has for the past ten years made those Nervous Cases brought on by eelf-abuse,a«pecialty, and feels Warranted iu saying to the sufferer there is acure. The Diseases which yield most readily to the cura tive agency of this method, as practiced by us are: Dyspepsia, Constipation, Asthma, Angina, Pectoris Chiorosi«, Lowe of Voice, Rueamatism, Rhen- matic Gout, Liver Disease, all kinds of Sexual Weakness, Diabetis, Headache, nce, ae we cannot ganrant ° rd low prices for any defuite leugth or tion Se ELPHONZO VOUNGS & oo., GROCEKs, F.
