A AVI To null Husband ART-CO to Bcptt- rntc , nml Divide Tliclr KIToctB lllooily Suicide of the AVIfo Tlio "Weapon fit Death Hurled with Her. The Corroctiouvillo Nowa of the 6th itist , , hns n well written article , evidently by Botno on who has bcoti on the ground , about the sulcido of a Mrs. Mntllun J. Thoruloy , of Wolf Crook township. The News account says : The family came from near Annmosa seine thrco years ago , and bought an eighty-aero farm of Henry \Vilko , which , by careful farming , had brought thorn enough money to buy an adjoining eighty this spring , which WAS being opened and improved at the time of the tragedy , Everything about the farm boars evi dence of thrift and prosperity. A mini- bor of acres of forest | and orchard trees are in 11 no condition , strawberries and other small fruit Imvo boon planted in abundance , the garden and orchard rrcll- fenced ; in fuel , every thing betraying the cnro and neatness of the English farmer , who , upon n small farm , has learned lessons of economy which ho brings to boar upon his larger poasessions in America. The dwelling of itself is not valuable but is roomy , and as good as the , vorago farm house. The main port is about 1C by 20 , with n shod 12 by 1C on the south side , uaod as n kitchen and dining-room , and the place where the bloody deed was committed. The interior of the house shows the deceased to IIAVO been a neat and tidy housekeeper , The rag carpet in the best room was clean , and supplied with neat homo-mado mats. The windows dews and woodwork wcro clean and bright , the steve nicely polished , pictures and bric-a-brac arranged tastefully about thowalli ; in one corner in a cupboard were some twenty or thirty pans of milk , but she who had boon the keeper and pvsorvor of this homo lay in her coflin at ouo aide of the room. Over her bout those who had known the family best , and in the presence of the dead they toll something of her history. She was a good woman sayo for her totnpor , ever which she had little if any control. She was passionately fond of dancing , and her husband had brought ' .or to Corroctionrillo upon several occa- ions to dances. As may bo supposed liero was continually trouble in the fam- y , the wife insisting upon having her wn way and upon mvotal occasions "ircatomng to take her life if her -wishes ere not granted. Mr. Thurnloy did ot say much but managed things to suit imself , largely. For some time before Iio tragedy it had bocn agreed upon that lioy should separate. They had occu- ied separate rooms for some and al- hough living under the same roof were > ny ] waiting until the agreement could > o perfected. About two weeks ago the husband wont to Sioux City and got $300 in cash vhich ho gave her , and also a Hen upon ho farm for ? 700 in lieu of her dowor. Everything had been completed , Mrs. "hornloy had packed her trunks taking hat she wished about the house , and on ho day of her death she waa to go to 5loux City and take the cars for Anamo- a. Mr. V. Heath's boy had boon work- : ig for thotnon the farm and had gene ho night before to a party in the neigh- lorhood to which Mrs. Thornly wished o go , but her husband didn't want to go , > ud so they stayed at homo. She passed restless night , not undressing until 2 or o'clock. Nothing unusual occurred in the morn , ng ; she got breakfast as usual , and while iating they talked over her leaving dur- ng the day , and it was decided that yhon Heath should return , as ho would eon , ho should take her to Sioux City. > Ir. Thornly finished his meal and went ut to feed the pigs , and that was the ast time ho saw his wife alive. They tad a O.year old boy up stairs just getting ivor the measles. Just before breakfast > ho had brought him something to cat , nd kirsed him good-byo. Ho says that , ftor bio father wont out ho heard a noise ko the upsetting of chairs , a heavy fall , .nd.thon . all was quiet. Ho got out of bed , , nd wont down stairs'and aawjhis mother ying on the kitchen floor , face down ward , and the blood running from her nock. He called to his father at the barn , who : amo and saw what had happened , sent , ho boy back to bed and started ouhorso- ack for R. B. Twogood's , a mile north , uat as ho loft the yard ho mot Heath ml told him what had happened and .old . him to stay until ho came back. The joroner was sent for , who came and om- > annolled a juiy , which found that the ocoascd came to death by her own hand , "ho weapon used was a laigo sized intcher kiiifu. Both jugular veins and ho windpipe wcro Havered , so tlmt death vaa undoubtedly almost instantaneous , Ino stains of blood were yet visible upon ho kitchen lluor , where it had run across liu floor and formed pools at the farther ido. She had evidently seized the knifu ind cut her throat as soon as her husband uft , for u part of u cup of cuflco and n _ ) ioco of cake was left. The chair upon which she had boon sitting was over turned as she fell to the floor. Her face was somewhat discolored , the fingorH ; rasped tight , and a determined look till was soon in her features. It was told the writer tlmt since they had decided to separate , sbo had corres. Bonded with an old lover -who lives in Nebraska and who visited her not long inco. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. 0. N. Sinnot. The funeral pro cession numbered upwards of sixty teams , and brought far tnoro people to the jchool-houso than rould gain admittance. According to a custom , the weapon with which the unfortunate woman ended her existence was buried with her. It is totid to have boon a most sickening light to see the woman lying upon her ace , so near the kitchen door that It could bo but partially _ opened , while across the room ran her life s blood and formed in pools at the further side. Pub lie opinion in the neighbourhood exonerates orates the husband from all blame and gives to the wife credit for many , very many lovable traits and goodly graces , "There was no bolter woman in the county , " said one of her neighbore bo- tweun sobs , "except when her temper got the bettor of her , and then eho had no control of herself. " Adoop grief and a deep mystery ever dwells around sue ! graves. TIIK NKW HOOK ! "Our I'amoiiH Women. " Thia Buporbly illustrated and firet class new book gives a full and authenti history of the lives and deeds of th most famous American of our times written expressly for it by twenty of the most distinguished authors of the present day.It It is a complete portrayal of the lived and arid thrilling experiences of Ameri can women who have won tliolr way to fame nnd glory , in the face of tremend ous obstacles. Most of them began lifo poor and unknown , earned their own liv- .ng . , fought their single-handed against ivposition and persecution , braved dang- rs and often risked their lives for duty , nd humanity , suttbrcd loss of frjonde , landing and money , yet in spite of vorythmg steadily rose to high position nd worht-wido glory until they Imvo bo- 'onio the moat famous women of our .imos. How did they do it ? What is lie secret of their success ? Wha < nre the ights and shadows of their lives ! What ! s the story henoath the glory ? It is the tbjoct of this book to give this informit- ion. It aims to toll the true story of .hirty famous women , whoso names are luualiuld words , but whoso history has lover boon published. U tolls the story f each from facts and matomU supplied iy those themselves , thus making it nt nco a work of thrilling interest nud mi- hority for all timo. The work has boon in course of pro- arntion for the p.iat live years , and , as Iroady stated , is the joint production of wonty of the most distinguished writers 'f ' our day , who have given their best llbrts to its completion.

Whitney , Tulia Ward Howe , Laura Curtis Billiard , jilian Whiting , Elizabeth T. Spring , and tlaud llowo. This is a grand list. The ombiimtion of the talent and labors of wonty such eminent writers queens of iving American authors is a sutlicient ; unrontco of the great excellence of Uiis ook. It contains what cannot bo found : i uny other volume in the world , viz : .ho finest thoughts and most brilliant of- brt of twenty of our greatest living iiithors , all concentrated into one single olumo.

L lRliCBTlmr Carry Liantcrns Up the Ocoftii. Many curious forms of fishes have boon bund in the deep sea. Ono flab , dredged rom a depth of nearly three miles from ho surface , shows a complete modifica- ion of structure. At this distance from .ho . surface the pressure can hardly bo oalized. It is estimated that this fish ms to contend against a proesuro equal .o two and a half tons to every square nch of surface. A scaled glass tube , in- ilosod in a perforated copper covering , has at two miles boon reduced to line powder , while the metal was twisted out of shape. Yet the fishes are constructed that they withstand the pressure. Their bony and muscular systems are not fully developed ; the bonca are permeated with pores and fissures. The calcareous mat ter is at a minimum , and the bones of the vertobriu are joined together BO loosely hat In lifting the larger fishes out of the water they often fall apart. The muscles are all thin , and the connective tissue corns almost wanting. Yet those fishes are able to dart about and capture the prey. Sunlight penetrates only about 1,200 'cot below the surface of the sea. At 3,000 foot the temperature lowers to 40 deg. Fahr. , and from about a milo from the surface to the bottom , four or five miles , the temperature Is about the same ho world ever just above freezing. How do the fishes and other forms that ivo hero see ? Their eyes are modified as well as their other parts. The fishes hat live 500 foot from the surface have argor eyes than those in the zone above thorn , so that they can absorb the faint rays that roach thorn. In a zone below this many forms with small eyes begin to 'iavo curious tentacles , feelers , or organs of touch. Many of these deep sea fish have special organs upon the head and sides that are known to possess a luminous quality. Other organs are considered accessory eycH , so that the fishes have rows of eyes upon their ventral surfaces "ooking downward , while near are lumin ous spots that provide them with light. Ono of the largest uf these deep oca torch bearers ia a fish six feet long , with a tall dorsal fin extending nearly the ctitiro 'ongth of the body. The tips of thin fin are luminous and also a broad patch upon "ts heitd. Along the sides of the body ia a double row of luminous spots. Ono of the most ferocious of thoao deep sen forms : s the clmnliodus. its mouth is fairly overflowing with teeth tlmt protrude in n most forl.iio.ding manner. The fins urn all tipped with flaming spola , while along the dorsal surface extends a row of spots that appear like BO many shining windows dews in the lish , through which light is shining. The little fishes called Bombay ducks are luminous ever their entire surface and when numbers are collected together hey present an astonishing spectacle One of the moat interesting of these light Divers ia the Chiaamodus , a fish that at tains the length of only thirteen inches The top of its head is the principal light giving organ , and its fins gleam will phosphorescent light. It is not alone re markabla as a light giver. It has a jaw so arranged that it can eeizo fish twice its size and easily swallow them. Its atom ach has the elastic quality of India rub bor. It stretches to enormous proper tiona , and npjiearaliko a great tranaparonl balloon hanging under the fiah and con talning its prey. The last expedition s nt out by Franco brought to light some remarkable forms , The dredge oil" Morocco brought up from a depth of ono and a half rniloa a lish Urn appeared to bo all head or mouth. I was of small size , and the length of the mouth waa about four fifths o' the entire body ; o that , if the body } m < been sovorcd behind the head , it and tw or three like it could have boon stowed away in its capacious pouch. It probably moves very slowly , scooping mud and ooze into its mouth , sifting out the nni- mal parts androjecting the rest. AHK YOU GOma TO KUICOI'K ?

Lombard troot nnd the vicinity of the bank were illod with excited mo.i and women , omo frightened out of their wits , other * aving like maniacs. The scenes in Now fork o financial comer the pnst wcok ere of n similar nnturo. _ Tliu Ihousaiuh f excited people were waiting eagerly to withdraw their investments , Next day lovornl other banks failed. The rush on ho bank of England wns terrific , but the lork kept paying away llio gold in bags ionlaining 25 sovereigns oacii. From 0 o'clock a. in. until 5 o'clock p. . each day twonty-fivo clerks were on- ngod counting out gold , nnd na it would iiko that number of clerks to count out 60,000 in sovereigns , if counted by 'mud , n plan wna adopted by which the oilers counted twonty.ftvo sovereigns ute ono scnlo nnd twenty-five in another , nd if the ncalos balanced they con- iniicd until tlioro were 200 sovereigns In iach scaco. In this way 1,000 were laid out in n few mlmitoa , the weight of ,000 sovereigns being twenty-five lounds , while 512 bank notes only roigh ono pound. In this way 1(17,000 ( was paid out in nlno hours to clamorous opositora. Instead of contracting their issues the iroctors of the bank boldly extended .horn. In ono day they discounted ,200 bills.

OHIO IIowIloyH Hunt , and Blinnt TJiom lu HiilMirlmn Cincinnati The Gainu AVitlilu Giui-Hlioi of the Oily , and OoiniiurAtlvoly Un- From the Cincinnati Inquirer. A couple of half-grown boy s , well dressed and apparently of good families , were dodging from tree to tree in Spring Grove avenue , in the vicinity of the com otary , about. 3 o'clock ono afternoon dur ing May festival wook. Their evident desire to roach eoino point up the avonu i without being suon brought down on thorn the attention of a party of sight seers emerging from the coinotory gate. The boys walked with a curious atill'-leg. god shuflle , amounting almost to a deformity mity ; but the c use wua not discovered until they turned into Oreacont avonno , which debouches into the roud a short diitanco above. At thatpoint , imaging the danger detection past , ono of them grow carolcsa and slowed a puff of wind to displace his coat far enough to show the poliahcd butt of a Ballard rifle , which waa thrust , mimlo down , in the right log of his trousers , the stock ranging well up under his coat. The boys' tjueer gait and actions had made them merely objects of a languid sort of interest beforu the last ditcovory , but upon catching sight of the rifle The Enquirer man immediately decided that ho had business of importance on Croa cent avenue which required that tlui boys should bo kept in sight , while imagining themselves alone. To this end a third dodgor.hohiud.troea was added to the group. The retired nature of the avonuu , however , had given the buys inoro courage , and after the bridge was pasted they ceased dodging and walked in a straight line , still keeping to the aide of the roml where aholter could bo quickly found if needed , "I bet you a dollar , " said the smaller 1 hey , "that you don't shoot a ono , Hob. * ' ' I'll ' toke you , " rojoiuod Dub at once , "and you can hnvo ono for good measure , I bet you I shoot two. But the little pop gun of youra " llob'a acorn of the "little pop-gun" would not permit him to finish the sen * fence , and no limped along with his noao In the air , while the smaller Ind proceed' cd to extract the " " "pop-gun" from its hiding place , which vaa aimilmr to that of hia companion's weapons namely , the leg of his breeches , It proved to bo a handsome and highly-polished Flobort , of course not so heavy and bulky aa the Hitllnrd , but none the loss quite largo enough to kill the usual small game of tliia neighborhood r.ibbits squirrels and birda. The line of march led up the avenue aa far aa the canal , where it branched to the loft and followed the stream to ono of the ponds or basins , which are to bo found on the borders of Clifton , and which fed by the waton of the canal from the source which cornea the greater part of Cincinnatti'fl ice aupply. As every Oincinnaltian knows there waa but little water in the canal during May festival week and in consequence this buain was alive with fiah , which had swam into its deeper water as the canal channel became empty. The pond itself waa not more than three foot deep in the deepest parts and in consequence the tails and dorsal fins of many of the larger fiah very often cut through the surface and stood out like the backs of diminutive sharks or dolphins. The banks of the basin alopo gradually and , where the water had receded , were covered with a slimy , black mud. It was not at all an uncommon sight to sen a big twenty or thirty pound liah forgo through the water at the rate of forty miles an hour hia high dorsal fin cut ting through the surface , leaving a wako of bubbles oohind htm and run full out of the water into the slimy ooze , which was but a shade darker than the water itself. When this occurred the liah be- c.nno a perfect mud battery , In hia cf- forta of turning and getting back into hia element , his tail would slap the soft mud with cruel force , making a report that tlmt bo hoard for several roda , and send ing mud flying in all directions. Birds of all colors and voice were in brush and trees surrounding the basin many of thorn foreign birds imported by Mr , Prqbasco and otnors for the purpose of ( beautifying the village. A bright blue kingfisher sat on a projecting limb of a maple tree , storing fixedly at the water below him , and upon the approach ing of the boys , a largo gray crane lifted itself out of the pond and ( low away , its long logs dangling and its wings flapping like the sails of a wind mill. But the boys were not uftor birds. They kept their eyes and their minds down to the fiah in the water , and while they were unlimbering their guns and pushing homo the little twenty-two and thirty-two calibre cartridges which formed a charge , they talked about what they would do and would not do in case they shot a hundred pounder. "Whon you see a butlMo or a big cat on top of the wator.you shoot , " said Bob. " \Vo don't want no little liah , and wo won't shoot at chubs nor sunfish nor lit tle cats. You shoot first , because it will take two allots to kill those follows , and after getting ono dose they are bound to dive ; my charge is heavy enough to kill under water , and I will let them have a second pill after they are down. It ia no uao for you to fire into the water at all ; it will just glance your little bullet and waste the powder. Probably there has never before boon auch a collection of largo fish in a few square roda of shallow water as was in that banin Some few of them were black catfish , aa largo aa the bronze dolphins on the Fifth street fountain ; but the great bulk of the splashing crowd was made up of light- colored lish , with largo scales , a project ing sucker mouth , high dorsal fins , run ning almost back to the tail , anc' a body hunched about the shoulders , much like the hump of a bison or buffalo. This cu rious conformation of body gives the fish Its common name bnfialo fiah. Like the catfish it often roaches a weight of from 80 to 100 pounds , and its flesh is of sufficient demand for food us to bo sold in the markets. "Pop" wont the Flobort , making a report port not louder than that made by an ex plodlng paper cap , but a commotion in the water at the edge of the pond told that the bullet had reached its mark. No fiah was visible , but the water waa churned into a perfect foam , drops occa sionally fiying ten foot into the air. air."He's "He's hit hard , " cried Bob. "Was ho a big one ? " "Wollj I ( mould amilo. Don't you shoot , now. iwunt to kill that follow all by myaolf. " But Bob did not c.iro to take any chance ! , and , running his eye along the poliahed barrel , ho fired into the centre of the foam. The shot wan echoed frnn every hill in the neighborhood , OIK operated on the dittturhud water like oil The lushing and bubbling ceased nnti the surface ; it the spot where the bullo had entered became like glass. Thmi the boys sat down and waited. "Wo are waiting to BOO if the bullulo i killed , " explained Bob , live minutes 1 ter , after the wiitor had introduced him self and assured the b > yn that he wa guiltless of any policn authority "Yo sou , when they are dead they como to th top of the water , and in the course o time float iishoro. Wo have to wait tint they fluat in because the mud on the bet toin of the basin in so deep that wo can not wade m it. Oh , yes , it in a comma thing for UH to shoot fish hero , whothei the canal is empty or nut. In the sprin , the fish always come into the baain t spawn , and they aooin to bo lazy and t like to flout near the top of the water a such times : but , of course , just now they are much more plenty than when the ca nal is full , and in consequence there i much more sport.
