Last Tuesday afternoon Lud Cornish called at the house of John Green, a respect- able farmer. At the time the only persons about the house were Mrs. Green and her two daughters—Lulu, aged 18, and Jennie, aged 16. Cornish entered the sitting-room and engaged the ladies in conversation. A fs. uoments after his entrance the mother left the room. Mrs. Green had been out a very brief time when apistol shot, quickly followed by another, echoed from the sitting-room where she had left the girls and the map. A scream followed the reports, and the sound of a body falling tothe floor. ‘The frantic mother rushed into the room and found the bleed- ing torm of her eldest girl stretched on the floor. Cornish stood in the ‘iniddie of the room with & smoking revolver in his hand, and as the mother entered he raised it and fired a third shot, the ball penetrating Mrs. Green’s hand. Cornish’ escaped from the house and fled to his home, some ilies. away, and procuring some arms and ammunition, barricaded the doors. ‘The neighborhood Was soon aroused and the sheriff notified, who, summoning 3 devermined posse e, surrounded the house, and al ough Cornis! s several shots, he Was finally put under arrest. = = ———— Weman’s Rights.

On avery cloudy morning the writer met an elderly acquaintance and saluted him with the remark, “Itis going to storm, but I don’t know whether it will be rain or snow.” “Why, rain,” was the ready reply, “and I will tell you how I know. If there is a bank in the west, south of the Sun, When tt sets, look out for snow; if there 1s a bank north of thé sun, look out for rain. ‘This is a certain sign for storms in winter. Last evening at sunset there was a bank in the north, 90 we are going to have somo rain to-day.” And sure it did. If the storm cloud extends both north and south of the sun, the heaviest part will indi- caw the kind of storin to follow.
