‘Carthy’s death is, how much or how

HOW IT STANDS NOW. |

The interest in the McCarthy murder | ease secs to be increasing, a8 is nat-! arab nnder the circumstances, and an, intense desire prevails in ithe public, mind for the discovery of all the im-}

vortant facts relating to the matter. ! he case stands now in a peculiar posi- tion. The facts just brought to light seem al once to confirm and confute the story told by the Parker girl. She testified that she saw McCarthy drug- ged, robbed of his money, and his watch ; struck on the right side of the head a heavy blow with a hatchet, which caused blood to flow from his nose and mouth on Osborne's bar-room counter, that she saw him fall bleeding on the floor of that room, saw him while op the floor struck on the right side of the head again with the same hatchet, saw his apparently lifeless! body carried away in a wagon, with a piece of cord, cut from a bed-cord in an upper room of Osborne's house, fastened to a stone, attached by a slip- knot to his neck, and was told by the driver, young Osborne, that he had rolled the body into the Seadone river at-a certain point, to reach which he had to drive through a certain field. Sbe also swore that she saw the mur- dered man on his last entrance into the Osborne house, the night of the mur- der, take off two overcoats and hang them up in the hall, that she saw Mrs. Osborne on the morning after the mur- der place one of these coats in her clothes press, and some days afterward st Miss Osborne shorten and bind the end of its sleeves to make it fit her father. So much for the Parker girl's testimony on the main point. |

Now for the facts, certain or ap-} parent. Mr. McCarthy, so far as known, has never been seen alive since the hour at which the Parker girl swears she saw him drugged and brained. ‘The body of the man, so long missed, was found in the Scadouc near the place at which Parker said she was told it was sunk. The condition of the body found was such as to stamp out the theory that the man had been drowned secidentally or otherwise. Death had evidently been caused by the effusion of blood on the brain near the right ear and toward the base of the brain — in the region, in fact, where the hatchet blows were, as alleged by Parker, in- ficted; and the death must have taken place before the body found a resting-

lace in the river. Then, what may

8 blood siains have been found on Osborne’s counter and floor and on a wagon which was in Osborne’s barn the night when McCarthy disappeared. In addition, a wagon was seen to come from the direction in which Osborne's! house lay, and proceed along the road leading towards the Scadouc, late on the night of McCarthy’s disappearance. Stull later on the same night, a wagon was seon coming from the direction of the Scadouc, xlong the road leading past Osborne's, A few hours later still wayon-tracks were observed crossing the field 6ver which Parker says young Osborne told her he had driven to reach thé point on the river where he had thFown the body into the river; and some considerable time atterwards, what fappeared to be McCarthy’s hat was found not far trom the alleged place of deposit. There can be no question that these circumstances, taken together, tend strongly to confirm por- tions of the Parker story improbable as that story at certain points sounds,

Ow the other hand, some indisput able” facts tend to throw discredit on the Parker statement in so far as it implicates the Osbornes. Among'these ure, the finding on the body, when tuken from the river the very coat, with the ends of its sleeves uncut and unbound, which Parker swears she saw Eliza Osborne sleeve shortening for her father, the finding on that body of a large sum of money, and a watch fas- tened to the poor man’s vest in the usual way, the non-discovery of any fracture of the skull, thin as it was, or any external evidence of heavy blows having been inflicted on the right side of the dead man’s head, and the absence of rope marks on the neck. These all, and some of them are very important and significant, tend to discredit very Parker's state-

tuiaiterial portions of ment.

ifowever, ceriain conclusions gela- tive to the cause have been established. These are that McCarthy must have heen murdered, and that Annie Parker knows who did it, be they the Osbornes or somebody else. For it is in the very

she has lied, and facts is plain that she has. Nevertheless, it is evident that

she knows what the truth about Me-!

little of that truth she may have as yet disclosed. That truth will doubtless be made clear in the issue.

The McCarthy Inquest. Anntp PARKER was to Commence her \iany tmport- ant facts revealed in previous tes timony having now been proved true beyond a doubt, while some of her statements seem to have been incorrect, vreat interest is naturally felt in’ the evidence she will give to-day, Persons who conversed with her sinee the body was found, say that she adheres to her original statement in all particulars, averring that the watch was taken from the body and the coat repaired and bound with braid as she described. Reports of this character, however, are not always reliable, and it is best. to await her own story now soon to be told.—Our reporter at Shediac says that it is generally believed that the body seen by the French boy was that of the sailor drowned last fall. This is probably the faet.—Voncton Times, May 17, 1878.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- Ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the prenent. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and

it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application ; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in ‘a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over al] other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTFR. You can hardly believe your own convietions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety oo the most delicate person to wear, as it ia free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will scli hundreds tu your friends.
