A JAPANESE TRAGEDY.

A dreadful quadruple murder at Kole the scene of the
crime being not inure than &couple of hundred y ads from
the Saibansho, is recorded by the Japan Herald. rho
victims are Mr. Yadama, his wife, and two children, one
aged two years, and the other, an infant, twenty-one days
old, who were all butchered in their sleeping apartment, •
room about 'Jft. square. Mr. Yamada was well known and
generally liked in Kobe ; he received a severe cut under
the left ear, severing the jugular vein, several slashes on
his chest and stomach, and his back was literally hacked
to pieces, his spine being cut through in eight or nine
places. From the appearance of his wounds it would seem
he struggled with his assailant, and was set upon by
another from lsdiind. His wife, with an infant twenty.
one days old in her arms, had her right arin severed, and
her left wrist cut badly, a frightful gash from her forehead
to her chin, cutting out one eye and splitting her head in
half, and a slash that laid open her left shoulder and
fractured the spine. Her baby, apparently, was smothered
by her falling upon it, as the only wound it has is a small
cut on one of its toes. The other child, a little boy, hod
his head entirely severest from his body, and his right hand
cut h the middle, cutting off the thumb also; the
ift 'rang had the two first fingers cut off. What the
motives of the murderers were will probably never come
to light, unless the miscre.ants are caught and confess, as
the clothes of the murdered persons *emu to have been
overhauled only. The assault must have been sudden and
the strife of short duration, as the inmates of the houses
adjoining on tither side appear not no have heard any.
thing of an unusual nature. Many Europeans employed
on the railway also live within a stones throw, and heard
nothing of the affair until noon, when returning to

Col. toe and Captain Russell, John Pan's. is boy, about
15 or 16, was brought up in custody charge.) with sttlating
a certain mare, the property of Mr. Samuel Miller, &or).-
man. at Burdock Orange, on the 2lth ilia. Mr. Miller
deposed that on the 24t1 inst. he sent the prisoner. who
was then in his employ as dairy boy, with the mare after
a waggon in a field to fetch some hay. About a quarter of
an hour afterward*, the boy came calling to him to say
the mare was bail. On his going to the mare he found she
had been stabled in the hvls, and a portion of her entrails
protruded, Witness a..ked the prisoner how it occurred :
he replied he did not know. Asked him if he hail his
knife, and he answered no. Witness then sent for the
veterinary surgeon, and the police. The value of the mare
is about.C.ll. On the following day he was shown a knife
bY P.C. Wills. The one produced was the same, and had
got blood and hair on it, and was till:, same he saw in
prisoner's possessiitn two or three days before. -P.C. Wills
stated : I am is police-constaldeatationed at Broadwindsor.
On the 24th inst. I was sent for IT Mr. Samuel Miller, 1
went to Burstock Grange, and saw the prisoner, John
Pavey. I asked him how he accounted for the stab in his
ma.tere< mare. He said he knew nothing about bow it
oi,urn.d. Asked him if he had a knife. Ile said, no, I
hail nothing in my hand but an old spar. 011 the following
morning I found the knife know pnslitee, about four yards
from the blood in the Held where the mare hail been
stabbed, stuck in the bank. There was hair and blood
adhering to the knife. 1 then apprehended the prisoner,
and charged him with stabbing a mare, the property of
his master. Mr. Miller. He made no reply afterwards.
On the road he began crying, and said "1 wish 1 Mel told
the truth. I had the knife in my hand cutting an old spar,
and went to put the 'hum in the waggon, and the knife
slippnl into her." When I saw the mare she was in the
prosecutor's stable.—As Mr. C. W. Blake, veterinary
had not then arrived, the mit, was adjourned
until 12 a.m, on the 261 u inst, on which day the priauuer
was again brought up before l'artain Russel, at the same
place, when the evidence of Mr. C. W. Blake, veterinary
surgeon, of Crewkente. was taken—Mr. Blake deposed
that he wa< sent ler by the prosecutor on the 2lth inst.
He went to Itor<toh (range, and found that a mare the
property of Mr. Miller, hail been stablest in the belly.
The peritoneum was protruding, and she had lost a quan-
tity Id blood. The knife produced by P.C. Wills, is just
such an instnitnent as would produce such • wound.
Witne-s had that day seen the loin', ant omit, not say
she will recover ; she is in • badstate. The prisoner, who
had nothing to say, was then committed to take his trial
at the next quarter Sessions.

of the position of our flonservative M.P. on the Turf :
" It is now stated in well-Informal circles that Sir Frederick

chased the remaining halt chute of Mr Wallis. Sir Frederick
has been very fortunate in buying horses and immediately
afterwanle landing great comps with them, as in the eases of
Judge and Valuer for the Royal Hunt Cup, and Somerset MK
prior to that cult carrying off the valuable July Staked at

MUNICIPAL LOOM NGS.

•
The approaching of the Municipal new year is beginning
to be anticipated by those who care to discuss the pro-
ceedings of their local parliament It is determined fat
le,,s( we am so informed) to insist upon the gentlemen
who may seek the honours of office, being staunch cep.
1, ,riers of open .i..orS during the prisvedings of the
rouniil, so that the outside public niay know "what's
what" aol "who's who" at the 'Green Raise Itexil."
The presence of reporter+ at the meeting must have a
wholesome effect; and with deference to Mr. Spooner we
are eonfident many misapprehensions will be removed,
which under the "silent systein always arise. In an
enli(litened town like Blisndfonl it is surprising that the
past mode of conducting public business has been on long
tolerated. Gentlemen who covet the distinction of mere-
senting their fellow-townsmen can hardly wonder if their
artier,, are misunderstood when they are parties to the
burking of publicity by excluding the Prese in the face of
the strong and reiterated opinions of the burgesses to the
contrary. We hope that after the eluctiou of next month
the fastidiousness a some of the very bashful Municipal
mhos will ollee aud for ever he consigned to obscurity.
For our ;tut, knowing the modesty of thet:urporate winch
we promise to do nothing to shock i(eutility ; on the con-
trary we are confident the display Of clot Utllloo will be such
that the may sorrow experienced will be that the lowers
of rhetoric have so hasif been allowed to "We(e their
fraganee on the desert ay." The present state of feeling

SEEDS.

Our seed trade, as is usual at this time of the year,
is now without any special feature of interest. In
both red and white clover seed very little business is
passing ; a few samples of new home-grown seed of
both descriptions have come to hand, but without
finding buyers, the prices demanded being very high.
Some of the French sample, now offering arc of very
good quality. For trefoil seed values keep steady,
although the demand is slack. Winter tares are
getting scarcer everyday; the trade for them being
fairly brisk, a further advance must be noted of 3.5.
to as. per quarter. New rye for sowing is in some-
what improved requoa. Neither
seed exhibit any noteworthy alteration. Ncw
Dutch hemp seed is now offering. Fur large blue
boiling peas we haw a good demand.—John Shaw
