EXTRAORDINARY AND ArRocIoUs MURDER The
following appears in the Dover IN. H. Enquirer of
the 2lst inst. =
A bold and daring murder was committed at Ro-
chester, about fifteen miles above thus town, on
Tuesday the 18th inst. In remote part OF the town,
near the line of Pennington, woman by the name
OF Phebe Hanson, was shot In her own house at
MONDAY. Miss Hanson was maiden lady, some
what advanced in years, and with her brother, also
unmarried, occupied the house. About noon, a
neghbor by the name of Page, heard the report of
gun at the house of MIR. Hanson, and thinking it
somewhat extraordinary, proceeded Immediately
to the house. Before he arrived there he saw three
men advancing towards the house IN an opposite d.
rectlon, with guns upon their shoulders, and who
reached the house and entered it few minutes be-
fore him. When he arrived, he found them
seated s, :, in the kitchen: On in9uiring for
the trent entry asleep. Mr. Page then pro.
ceeded directly to the entry, where he found Miss
Hanson, bleeding profusely, and dead. He i'm
medately exclaimed to the men that she was dead,
down stairs. They expressed some surprise at
the announcement, but left the house immedi.
atey and proceeded into the woods. The
alarm was given, and they were arrested. Two OF
them, who are brothers, of the name of Howard
were taken IN this town on "Wednesday morning,
Just they about entering the cars at the de
pot for Boston. They belong in the vicinity OF the
murder, and were taken to Rochester for examina-
ton. The object in penetrating the crime is sup
posed TO have been plumber, as it was known that
rable sum of money in their house. But little mo.
ney, however, was obtained, the trunk which
contained the principal part OF i was either over
looked, or the villains had not time 10 il.

The examination Of the Towards resulted IN their
cominta to jail In this town last evening. One OF
them contesses the murder.

A SINGULAR DUEL.-A curious affair came off in
Philadelphia on Friday last, which is thus described
in the Philadelphia Chronicle Of Saturday.:
rencontre took place last evening, in Chestnut
street, between Seventh and Eighth. between Al
bert g. Enos, midshpman in the u S. Navy, and
James J. Dickens, of Washington, when the latter
drew pistol and shot at the former. Enos it ap-
peared, attempted to cowhde Dickens. re police
were quickly on the spot, but the parties nad fed.
The affair, we learn, grew out of former difficulty
Dickens issued a pamphlet, In which Enos was pref
ty severely dealt with. These pamphlets were dis.
lributed quite freely in Washington, and Enos fol-
lowed Dickens TO this city, with the intention OF
cowsklnnlDg him, and the result was as above sta
ted The report OF the pistol brought crowd to the
neishborhood, who witnessed the fight between the
two, with pistol and cowskin, with apparent de-
light. We believe there was no damage done wor-
thy OF notice. We saw one of them running up
Chestnut street what became of his competitor, or
either OF them, afterwards, we did not learn

The Rnnncr Ours I

As we predicted, "0d Democratic La Sale" is
the "Banncr county" Of this congressional district
She has nobly discharged her duty to the cause Of
democracy by giving Col. Wentworth a majority
OF i02! This result was unexpected to even the
mos, sanguine Of Col Wentworh's friends; and
when we take into consideration the fac, that the
most foul aud corrupt means were made use Of to
induce the old countryman in this county to vote
for Spring---that handbs were circulated, letters
written TO nearly every ono Of them, and every
species Of intrigue and deception rcsortcd to on
the eve of tho election, the resul, shows triumph
glorious and complete. The warm and decided
stand taken by large majority Of DR.. Murphy's
original friends in favor of the democratic nomi-
nee entities them to the highest praise and it
proves TO the world tina, in con,cs, for principle
the democracy Of La Sale will always be found at
their post--truo to themselves and true to to
country.

Dry Weather.

Our farmers are beginning to complain bitterly
Of dry weather. We have had scarccly drop of
rain for the last six weeks. The corn is suffering
severely, and unless we have shower soon to
moistcn the arid soil, it will not produce half
crop. Most other vegetables are also suffering for
want Of rain. The rivers arc very low--so low
that boats can no longer come to Peru. The heat
is 'prcity considerable" though nothing to what
it was few weeks ago: tho thermometer ran
ges from 60 TO 009 in the shade. The health
of the people continues good-in fact, never was
better and doctors complain Of dull times. They
talk of getting up an anti Washntonian lndigna-
ton Meeting.
