On looking farther, she discovered her eldest son dead
in the beJ, but could not perceive any trace of her infant
child, who was, however, shortly afterwards discovered
to have been drowned in the rain butt. There is no doubt
whatever but that the unfortunate father proceeded to the
garden instantly on leaving his bed-room, and h•wing
drowned the child, then ascended to the children's room,
where he afterwards perpetrated the other murder, com-
mitting suicide the moment an alarm was raised.
As no vital organ has b-en severed, hopes are entertained
that the younger boy's life will be saved. There seems to
be little doubt that, owing to their privations, temoorary

nsanity was the immediate cause of this shocking affair, as

his pecuniary emharrasso:ents had for some weeks pas
induced great depression of spirits.

DREADFUL ASSASSINATION. - Yesterday morning,

of the money, and begged his master to deduct it from
him at 2s. 6d. per week. This Bostock refused to do, and
deducted the whole snm from his wages on Saturday

The bullet entered the unfortunate deceased's ear, anal be
expired yesterday afternoon about four o'clock. The
