Of murder, as boldly conceived, and as deliber-
ately executed as any furnished by the annals
of crime. The escape of the girl alone proven.
ted the full execution of the plan. If she had
fallen, all explanation of the mystery would
have been impossible. The house and bodies
of the slain would have been consumed together,
and the murderer would have possessed in Sc

the fear of detection.
The same mail also brings us the account OF
another murder, committed under the influence
of jealousy.
From the Virginia Star, Dec. TO-
A murder of the most atrocous character
was committed in the county of Dinwddc, on
Sunday morning last, by Jeremiah Conway, on
the person of Edward Lewis, a young man only
10 years IF age, who at the time when the muir.
der was committed, resided with Conway's fam.
lily. 1t appears that Lewis had dressed him
self with the intention of going to church, ant
was in the act of stepping out of the portico
having his back turned towards Conway's door
when Conway advanced within a few steps o
him, having gun heavily charged with bucl
shot, and fred, when Lewis fell, having receiv
ed the entire contents of the gun in the neck AM
back part of the head. The only supposabl'
cause assigned for the preparation ofths dread
full act, was jealousy on the part of Conway
Alter the deed was committed, Conway mad
aneffort to escape, and when questioned in re
lation to the murder, positively declared that h
knew nothing about it. He has been commite
to Jail to await his trial.

FROZEN TO DEATH.

PHfLApaLpHIA. Dec. 22.-ltis seldom that we have
occasion to notice an example of such unmgated
misery in all its details as has been brought 10 light
within the last few days in Southwark. The cir
cun,stances are as follows: . ,
On Lriday last man By the name of Jarvis called
on Mr.. Murray, one ofthe Guardians of the Poor for
the district of Southwark and asked him for an order
for Medical attendance of his daughter who, he
said was very sick and he thought would die. The
order granted, and the physician attended the
patient. On his return to Mr.. Murray he related that
he had been taken to an unfinished house in Sixth

was on, and floors laid, but there neither doors

Observation-Disclosures.

Our readers, we suppose, are aware that When
we obtained what was called the French ndem-
nifty for spoliations on American commerce, one
of the conditions, or at least one OF the induce
ments held out to the French to pay us was tie
repeal of all duties on French silks, and reduc-
ton of duty on wines and brandies. Without
this boon on our part, perhaps LOUIS Philippe
would not have ventured to pay these old CLAIMS
for spoliatons made under Bonaparte and the
French Directory, for the Bourbons had con-
stantly refused to pay them.
1t is now evident enough that we ought not
to permit the importation of silk free OF duty
We need the revenue and the protection both
the protection for our own silk growers, and TO
keen the balance of trade from accumuatns
against us and carrying our money to Europe
This matter has been brought into notice al
present by the tobacco planters of the States 0,
Virginia and Maryland, who have memor'al'aeu
Congress on the subject. They complain 'h''
almost all the European powers impose eho''
nous duties on tobacco; Holland and Belgium
are about the only exceptions. In Eng anu

AWFUL EXPLOSION.

This morning, between and 7 clock, most
terrific explosion took place by the bursting Of
the steam boiler in the paper mill of Mr.. Gabriel
Moore, situated in the upper part Of the district
of kcnniston. between Edward and LYDIA sts
and School and WIN. SITS. which demolished and
laid in one mass OF ruins, the entire building,
which was partly brick and partly frame, two or
three stories heh. The accident is attributed
TO the filing up of the feeding pipe with hard
deposi;e. which prevented the water from flow
ing into the boiler. At the time of the eyplo-
sion, the steam engineer, Enoch Garsidc, and
John Grant, machine engineer, were in the
building, preparing ior the days work, by al
tempting to yet W the steam, both of whom
we're dreadiuilv eca,lel and otherwise injured

Mr.. Moore himself was hurt by a large piece of
the building falling upon his head while stand

basement of the building, was forced upward,
and changing its direction, passed through the
back wall of an adjoining two story brick house,

in the factory. The boiler forced s way some

THE TRUE PHILOSOPHERS sToNF,

Chambers, in his Edinburgh Journal, has an
article on the philosophy of advertising. by an
"Old Tradesman." His ideas on the subject
are certainly very plausible, and not unworthy
the onsderaton OF tradesmen.
THE frs, utility OF frequent and regular advcrs -
is ,his-there is at all times large class of persons
both in country and town, who have no fixed places
for the purchase of certain necessary articles, and are
ready to be swayed and drawn TO any particular place.

feren to all, they yield without hesitation to the first

MRS. KINNEY.

The trial of this unfortunate woman for the
murder of her husband, which has been going
on the past week at Boston, was brought to a
close on Friday, and resulted in her triumphan,
acquittal We have seen nothing in the testi-
mony upon which to found well grounded sus-
pcion against her; while it shows her to have been
an affectionate kind wite--supporting the family
by own industry. On the otler band, her
husband is proved to have been a drunken,
worthless fellow, stepped to the lips in moral
degradaion-who had repeatedly expressed the
design of making way with himself and who,

had drugged htnself with that intent. Under
these circumstances, it is but reasonable to sup.
pose that the poison found in his stomach came
there by his own fundamentally.
"Mr. Dexter, counsel for the prisoner, spoke
three hours and forty minutes; and was replied
to by the District Attorney in a speech OF five
hours. When he had concluded says the
| Boston Post, Chief Justice Shaw asked the
prisoner il she wished to say any thing in addition
to what had been offered in her defence by her
counsel After some consultation with her,
Mr.. Curtis on her behalf, said that she felt
desire to make some remarks 10 the jury, but
did not feel equal to the task, and on that ac-
count she would not avail herself of the priv.
lege suggested to her by the Court. At twenty
| five minutes past ten, the trial closed. Chief
Justice Shaw delivered an impressive and full
charge to the jury distinctly favorable to the
prisoner in all its bearings. 1t occupied two

II Mrs. Kinney s-as the jury have virtually

the amount of moral suffering this fiery ordeal

MOST ATROClOUS MURDER.

A most shocking case Of deliberate murder of
five PERSONS committed, it would seem, for the
sole purpose of preventing the discovery of a
contemplated robbery, is related in the Ports
mouth, Virginia, Times, Dec l6.
We learn that series of most atrocous MUIR
ders was perpetrated by mscreant in South.
ampton county, on Monday night. An aged
Quaker OF the name Of Scott residing not far
Jerusalem, his sister, who was also aged, little
girl about nine years old, negro woman and
her child, were successfully butchered TO fur
ther the design of robbery, entertained nv the
destroyer. Six persons were on the premises
at the time, and but one escaped. This was a
young negro girl. She relates that man resi-.
ding in the nelghborhood, visited the house a
little after sun set and spent the evening by the
fire side of Mr. Scott, in conversation with the
family. AS he was about TO leave he asked Mr.
5. TO walk with him to the gate as he had WORD
to say to him in private. TO this the unfortu.
nate man consented
The girl saw no more of him. A violent
struggle was next heard in the kitchen. The
murderer, armed with short heavy dogwoot
pestle, had seized the negro woman and wa.
beating out her brains, when the aged sister o
MIR. Scott, attracted by the noise, appeared, anC
begged ann 10 desist. Irrevocably bent upor
his des IN, he instantly despatched the poo
negro, and Selling the old lady, feled her to the
floor with blow of the pestIc. A negro boy
about nine years old was then killed in the sam,
manner lie next proceeded in search of tn,
little white girl, and the young negress. Tn,
latter made her escape unubserved. The o,he
child was not so fortunate. She was caught an,
murdered as summary as the rest,
Not seeing the negro girl, and resolved Z
have no clue left to his fearful secret, the mon
ster made careful search in the rooms, turn
ing over the beds, and scanning every corpe
| narrowly. Convinced that one of the family ha
escaped, he seems to have gone off without con
sunma'lng the robbery. The girl fled mmed
ateiy TO the nearest neghbors, and communica
ted what had occurred in her sight and hearin.
They repaired to the premises, forthwith, an
found the melancholy contamination of he
story. The murderer had fled, and the bous
was burning slowly The fire was extnpuist
ed before it had defaced the bodies, or don
much injury to the building In the morning

FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY, 1871
MR.. WEBSTER'S SPEECH.

We invite attention to this clear, cogent expo
sition Of the Presidents Message, and the mys-
tfcatons Of Mr.. Woodbury's Report. Mr.. Van
Buren's homy on the subject Of national
debt sounds strangely enough in the mouth of
the only administration in this country which
ever commenced public debt in time of pro-
found peace. And the fact so fully established
by Mr.. Webster that the expenditures of the
federal government for the last four years have
annually exceeded the receipts more than SEVEN
MILLIONS of dollars, furnishes another striking
commentary on the economical professions with
which the Van Buren, party came into power
