 MWrder.-.A melancholy and distressing 2 murder was perretrated In AshAeld, on Tnes- : day last, by | man named Alfred Elmer. He . fAncled hlmseR commissioned from Heaven to kill Q persons, and derived his warrant, as z he sAys, from tha 1 9th chapter of Revelation. His victlms were child about 2 yours old, . an only son of Mr. Timothy Catlm, which | was Killed on the spot, and An old gentleman, grandfather Of the'culprit, who was SO severe.

I. rasor In hts hand, she immediately returned to tho house and on entering tho room, iound !, the child dead In the cradle In which shO had r left t sleeping, having its throat cut in W {, {, shocking manner. The criminal, having committed this horrid deed, hNStenel to his ' grandfather, whom he struck on tho head
 with m axe, and would have repeated the blow, but for the interference of some females who were present. The old gentleman is between 70 and 90 years of age. Since the
 commitment of the prisoner to the jail in this town. he observed, on being questioned,
 that he wished tc say nothing about it. He
 is sorry that he has committed the deed, and
 states that he had sometimes had thoughts of
 committing suicide, but that he had none
 now, and had none when he killed tho child.
 The prisoner was undoubtedly insane.
