MURDER.—We regret to state, that intelligence has been
received here to-day (Wednesday) of a barbarous murder,
perpetrated on Saturday last, in the parish of Knockando, on
the banks of the Spay. The unfortunate victim was a far, -
mer, Alexander Tulloch, of Crofthead of Ballintomb. His
body bore evident marks of violence, and the murder is sup-
posed to have been committed by means of strangulation.
The deceased was a widower, but his son-in-law and daugh-
ter lived in the same house. Suspicion having attached to
his son-in-law, Peter Cameron, he was apprehended ; but
the constables in whose custody he was placed, having (ac-
cording to a report here) suffered him to retire to a different
apartment than that which they occupied at the time. he
opened a window, and escaped. The procurator-fiscal has
offered a reward of £2O for the apprehension of the accused.
It is said that the unfortunate deceased intended shortly to
be married again, in which case it is probable Cameron would
have had to quit the premises. His wife who stands in the
painful relation of daughter to the murdered person, and
wife to the suspected murderer, was absent on a visit to
some friends at the time of the catastrophe. We trust no
exertions will be spared to secure the author of this atroci-
ous crime.—lnverness Courier.

A GIGANTIC TRI6.—A few days ago, Mr. Garn, who has
for some time been in the command of the Gem, Gravesend
steam.packet, and who is known to be the tallest man on the
river Thames, was requested to measure lengths with two of
his passengers, one a surgeon from the west of England, and
the other a farmer of Kent, who had attracted the attention
of the people on deck from their remarkable height. The
passengers good-humouredlycomplied, and the united height
of the three amounted to nineteen feet ,• Captain Garn mea-
suring six feet four inches without his shoes, the surgeon SIX
feet five inches, and the farmer six feet three inches,
he protested he was one inch higher. although
