upwards Of go years old, was killed in most
awful manner. The acoidcn, took place upon

1t appears that the old man was standing on
the extreme point Of the bridge, leaning a.
ganst the abutmeni, when the locommotyo

ATROCIOUS MURDER.

On Wednesday, an inquest was held in the

frighilul manner-the hair and a ribbon en-
circling the head, stained with blood, and the
left arm broken. Several witnesses were ex-
amined who clearly recogniz I'd and identi-
fed the body as that OF Betty Thompson, wife
of Owen M'Swine, deceased, who suddenly
disappeared in the month Of may, 1911. under
circumstances of a most suspicious nature
II had always been rumored in the neighbor-
hood, from the time she had been missed, that
the body had been murdered, as was general
ly supposed, by the parties spected-though,
strange 10 say, no search was made, nor did
any investigation ever take place until the body
was accidently discovered near the surface of

the more to be regretted as there is very little
doubt that sufficient evidence formerly existed
TO have led TO the conviction OF the murderers.
1t was really astonishing to see human body
for thirty years inhumed in a bog, with the
lineaments apparently perfect and unchanged
as on the day the unfortunate creature was
murdered aud the clothes Of the deceased
were uniniured by time. Even the small pOx,
with which she was slightly marked, was clear
" dscernable, from the powerful antseptic
prophecies of the bog. The figure was fine
iy proportioned, and the limbs perfectly elias

ful dark hair flowing down her neck as ifveil-
ing from the eye OF nature the horrid deed ola

rishoners, every exertion was made 10 throw
light on the mysterious deed but without effect.
The jury found that The body was the body
OF Betty Thompson, who disappeared in the
month Of May, 1871, and that she came by her
death in consequence Of wound inflicted on
her throat with some sharp instrument, by some
person or persons UnknoRa."

was slow and remarkable decline Of flesh
and strength, and of the energy of all the func-
tios,-what his mother very aptly termed, a
gradual blight. After inquiring into the hsto-
ny of the case, il came out that he had been a
robust and pleihoric child up 10 his third year,
when his grandmother, very aged person,
took him TO sleep with her; that he soon after
wards lost his good looks: and he continued
to decline ever since, notwithstanding medi-
cal treatment. directed him TO sleep apart
from his aged parent, and prescribed tonics,

Young females married TO very old men suf-

extent. These facts are often well known to
the aged themselves, who consider the indul
gence as favorable to longevity, and therefore
often illustrate the selfshness which, in some
persons increace with their years.
