THE CHILLICOTHE MURDER Arrest of the Guilty Man. He Feigns Insanity. Perry Bowsher was arrested in Hocking county by four farmers on Hunday last, on suspicion of having committed the McVejjR murder. A portion of the stolen bonds were found in his possesion. He was immediately taken to Chilli cothe, where he is now safely lodged in Jail.

Bowsher is a disreputable character, who some years ago war sent to the Penitentiary from Hock-, ing county for a terra of five years horse stealing, but after serving four years-of hi sentence was re- and sent to Athens Lunatic Asylum, under the plea of insanity, from which institution he escaped in March last He has not been I seen in the vicinity of his old home since his escape, until last Sunday, he made his appearance and showed some of the stolen bonds to his half brother, and in an hour af terwards was arrested. The people of Chillicothe believe him guilty, and think his insanity dodge is put on to evade punishment. He is unmarried, and about 31 years old. He has given no clua as yet, which will lead to tho arrest of his accom plices, if he had any. "A friend in nerd is a fr'n-Ld indeed.

No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Drnggists to recommend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported.

Many were the old inci- dents related by the old white-haired veterans, and listened to by the.j younger part of the assembly. As for eatables, there was a heap of "good things," pound cake, sponge cake, short cake, long cake, and tho whole family of cakes. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves hugely, and to the honor of the party let me say the vile tongue of slander was not heard. All felt the better for being there: long may the entire pirty live, to do good and make old hearts glad "Why not have many such gatherings while we are blest with health and plenty? I I OLD FOLKS' FRIEND. Another Surprise Party.

With your permission, Mr. Editor, I will give your readers a brief account of one that occurred in the southern part of Paint on Wed- nesday, Oct 31st, at the residence of Alfred Spargur, in honor of the 88th birthday of his father, Henry Spargur. Between the hours of nine and ten the friends came thronging in, while "Uncle Henry" had to confess to a complete surprise, as he had had no hint of their coming. All passed off quietly until about noon, the ladies, eager to show the contents of their baskets, set the long table ia tho yard, and such an array of luxuries I never before wit- i t-v- -i nessed. Dinner was announced, and after Rev.

Keys had returned tuanKS, tlie company fell to work as though they had all Leen fasting preparatory for the occasion. Now came our "opportunity to count "Uncle Henry's' children, grandchildren and great-grand children who were present, and we found them to number eighty-five. After dinner the company retired to the house to talk over the pleas ure of the meeting, end their past ups-and-downs in life. About 3 o'clock Rev. Keys quieted the din, by reading the 42d and 43d Psalms, and I leading the little assembly in prayer.

The company then dispersed and returnetl to their several homes, feeling that it had been a "day well spent," and one that would be cherished in memory for years to come. The following are the names cf those present Hardin Roads and wife, John Taylor and wife, Rev. Keys and wife, Henry S. Foraker and wife, Adaia Redkey and wife, Samuel Newell and wife, Mrs. Jtimes Hughes and children, Geo.

Editor, News Having recently participated in a pleasant family reunion, at the residence of Mrs. Ella Mullenix, two miles west of your town, I thought I would ask for space in your valuable paper to give an account of it, for the gratification of those I of her friends who were not present.

There were abont 123 quests, all of whom were relatives, exeptmg a few near neifjhlxii'S. They met to ecltbrate the SCdh of her birth. It was a pel feet surprise to her, but did not seem to dis- compose her in the least, pleasantly greet- ing each one, and enjoria3 the occasion very much. After a very pleasant time of hand-shak- ing and congratulations between old friends and relatives, from different States, fftwnhin nlnce.l in the yard, and covered with edibles great variety, to which all paid their "de-' ivours" for half an hour or-so, to the ex- 1 of every thing else. Seated at the tabid with Mrs.

Mullenix were all her liv-! ing brothers and sisters, siTi besides her-' self, whose ages average abor.t 77 years, she bc-iDg the oldest. All had lost the companions of their youth but her brother, George Pulse. I will give you the names and ages of each one.
