Co.'s lines will for the next two months continue to leave
here once every four weeks, and it is probable that the
weekly mail communication between this port and New

SHOCKING MONONA IN CANADA.—The inhabitants
of our quiet town were thrown into • fearful state of ex-
citement, in consequence of • report being circulated to the
effect that two persons—man and wife, Abraham and Bush
Peterson—bad been cruelly murdered in cold blood, at their
residence, about Bye miles from Piston, on the read lead-
ing to Demorestville. On careful inquiry the report was
found to be but too true. The particulars are substantially
as follow :--Acconling to the statements of • boy who,
when a child, was -left at the residence of the mur-
dered mar, there were no strangers in the house at bed-time,
nor did he know anything of the occurrence until morning.
Near the door lay Mrs. Peterson weltering is her blood,
quite dead ; on one side of her lay some wood, which
Lid been set on fire, and which had horribly bunted the leg
of the deceased, but had afterwards goes oat. (hither head
were some large cuts from the effects of while she must
have died intentaneously. In • bed, ia the same room, lay
Mr. Peterson. He also had received some deep eats on the
heed, and evidently struggled but hula. The instrument
used In the moomplishment of these horrid tranuations was
• common pickaxe, which was found hi another room, thus
oceelnevely showing that Peterson was not the murderer.
The house seems to have been pillaged. This is substan-
tiated by the fact that the contents of • bureau had been
emptied cm the floor ; the lower drawer was found to be
locked ; this was effected by withdrawing the second drawer
from the bottom from its place, and then the aceomplish-
went of the task was easy. This all goes to show that
the murderers—for there must have been more than one -
were actuated by pia alone, and probably were sin cessfal
in obtaining some considerable amount of moue).- this,
however, is only conjecture. The murderers put .1 dress
belonging 0 Mrs. Peterson at the window fa, log the
road, and • shawl at the window in the rear of the
house, to hide from view their hellish transactions, and they
wine succeedul. —Pintos Ossetic
