From the Ereter .Nsies Letter.

MURDER.-A report is in circulation of a foul MUIR
der committed about seven years ago, in Lincoln
county, which has recently to light. The cir
cumstances, as detailed to us, follows: Many
years ago, young man left Pittston and went to
sea; some seven years since he came TO Damars-
Gotta, where he left his trunk and started for home
on foot, but was never heard of afterwards The
trunk was obtained by his relatives, but contained
nothing Of value.
A few days since, lad residing in jefferson was
taken SICK and fearing DEATH he disclosed the fact
that about the time Of the Disappearance of the young
man above referred to, he, in company with small
err boy, while in the woods, came upon two men
Whose names we omit digging grave, in which
they were about to inter the body of man then ly-
ing before them. Being thus surprised, the men
threatened the boys that if they ever told of what
they had seen, they would be the death of them
and under this apprehension, it seems, they have
kept the secret. 1t is said the two individuals in
question were known to have in their possession,
about the time Of the alleged transaction, some ft-
teen hundred dollars in gold. We give the story as
related to us, not vouchng for its accuracy.

SEDUcTIoN-.4nother ho,Tid Tale. The Phadel-

ductlon and its consequences. In Bradford county,
in this State, we learn from the Bradford Report
er, clergyman by the name of Lefevre, was guilty
ofthis outrageous crime towards young woman of
his congregation, into whose family his holy office
had been his passport The unfortunate victim has
since become insane, and her mother is also maniac.
The tragedy is rendered the more thrilling by the
death of her father, who, it is stated fell corpse
the feet of the person from whom he received the ia
tai intelligence. So horrible tale almost exceeds
belief. Here are occurrences in real life, which ic-
ton has hardly dared to parallel 1t is some con-
ISOLATION that the william who caused all this misery is
in Jail. 1t is to be regretted that the law takes no
proper cognizance Of his crime.
