been burnt off her back, and that she
was evidently at the point of death.

aud I,is wife wrapped her in a she*;
and carried her back homo, where she
died iu a aboil time. Site was esked
where her children were, and shb re
plied they were In Heaven. After her
death it was discovered that all five of
the children had be*‘u murdered lu the
house, aud were all placed in a bed,
two at the bead, and throe at tho foot,
covered over with a sheet. Their
throats had been cut with syme sharp
instrument, and they were lying stark
in flesh and weltst ing iu gore, present
ing a spsctacle that was calculated to
move the hardest heart. An inquest
was held on Sunday and the conclu
sion was that the poor woman had
been seiz'd with insanity and bad
murdered her own eftspring, and that,
to destroy and punish herself, she had
set ht^self on fire, which caused her
own wretched death. They were a!l

of Kirk’s bushwhacUeiB, and Rube W.
Green, who bad deserted the Confed

acting iu the capacity, Mr. Beuuiui
one day asked him for a vhew of
tobacco, which was answered by a
gross insult and a jag of the bayonet.
Mr. B. told him be would, see him
again. The two nevor merBtnf-e until

Statesville, and Mr. B. retnln<lc(J[Green

call for a muscular rejoinder at the

According to a German trade pfcper
a new keroeeno und splilt lamp has
beou Invented, In which the wick la
made entirely of gh|B8. Several
advantages are claimed for It. The
flame dings closely to the wick, so
that lighted lamps may be carried
about without fear of their being ex

sparks are liberated from It. AVitfr an
equal amount of this wick turned up,

a much brighter and clearer light
obtained tLma,v\here 'cotton ones are
used. *■- .
The smoke Is greatly reduced, and
at least ten per cent, of oil Is saved.
