Mmder.-An account of terrible murder recent
ly perpetrated in Randolph county, Virginia, has
been going the rounds of the press. The story was
that "A clock pedler murdered by tavern keep
err and others of his household, by hanging him up
by his heels, and bleeding him to death by opening
the jugular vein. The following is another version
of the affair contained in the Wheeling Gazette;
We heard yesterday a somewhat different version
Of this horrid affair. Mr.. Lane, residing in the lower
part of Marshall county, was in towns and reported
case of murder as having occurred IN Tyler county,
which is doubtless the same. lie stated merchant
from the lower county, bound for Pittsburg called
at cabin, not public house and desired accommo-
dation for the night which was granted. A short
time afterwards small family of movers stopped at
the same place. and asked similar accommodation
which was roughly refused. The movers proceeded
on to deserted cabin in sight, and there quartered
In the course of the night he heard noise at the
cabin first spoken of and seeing light there, went
silently to it, and beheld the merchant hanging
by his feet, the blood flowing from his jugular vein
and two men and a woman standing by and looking
on. In the morning he informed the neighbors OF
what he had seen, who went with him to the cabin
where they promptly met by the assassns, who
desired them to walk in adding that man had
stopped there the night before and had died OF the
choera-supposng this story would frighten them
v,
however, went in, and found the corpse laid out in
his burial clothes. On examining the neck, they
saw the incison in the vein, which had been stop
ped with putty The assassins were apPrehended, on
the spot, and committed to Jail. 1t is said the de-
ceased had thousand dollars with him.
Homicide.-A case Of painful interest was yester-
day brought before the recorder, acting IN behalf OF
the mayor-The particulars of the affair, as far as
we could gather them were as follows On Tues
day, child Of Mr. Thomas Gilleau, living in the
northwestern part of the city, was missed by the
family, and as she was only two and half years
old, the beman was employed, after search had
been made in the nei dborhood No clue to the
course of the child coud be obtained until towards
evening, when little girl named Krause," who
lived near Mr.. Gileau told little boy that if he
would not inform of her she woul dteIl where Eliza
beth was The promise having been made, she
said that in consequence of Ellzabeth's making a
noise she had put her into the well or vault OF the
privy. The boy lost no time i'll making the circum-
stance known search was made, and the dead body
of the child drawn up; it had been stripped nearly
naked, and had fastened round the waist, rope
several feet long
The child Krause does not deny the act, but we
understand she says that Elizabeth came into the
house and asked for bread and butter and that at
ter she had been supplied she continued to make q
noise and cried good DEAL In order to lntimidate
her. the prisoner tied rope around her, and lowered
her into tho well, when the rope slipped from her
hand land the deceased dropped to the bottom She
the prisoner, being unable to rescue the deceased
became alarmed, and was afraid to call for help
The parents of the prisoner were absent on their
usuol business and had left her to take of an
infant
The recorder of course, committed the girl, lcav-
ing the question of I" intention" and responsibility
to another tribunal-U, :. (Phil@d) Gazette
A Clerical Fau1 Paus-A few days since fine
little female child, newly born found at the door
of respectable citizen in Second street, neatly done
up and snugly slowed in basket The little found
! ling was carried to the aims house, and measures
were put in progress ascertan if possible its in
human parents. Yesterday, in consequence ofinfor-
nation received very ordinary looking Irish girl,
whose name we understand to be Eliza kerral or
Carroll was arrested and brought to the police office
where the infant was shown her, aud bursting in
to a flood of tears, she at acknowledged her
self to be its mother and that abject poverty alone
compelled her desert it to the tender mercles of
the world She also disclosed the magistrate the
name and calling of the father of the child; and
upon her deposition of the fact, gray headed min
lister of the gospel of the Presbyterian persuasion,
named Duph0m, who we understand, has had
considerable use of the Rev. DIR. Baldwns pulpit,
was also arrested and brought before the setting
magistrate. What his story of the affair was we are
unable to say but after entering into good and suf-
fcent bonds for the future support of the fruit OF
this uuchristan slip of his, he allowed to depart
and further prosecute his double occupation of dvin-
ity and libertinlsm.
