circumstance Of deliberate barbarity.
Mr.. John B. parke, an aged man. who
for years has had the mania of converting
all his property into specie, and the folly
of boas:ins Of tic amount thus accumula-
ted, lived on his farm-a bachclor-hav-

On reaching the spot the most dreadful
spectacle was presented. GARNER, who
appears to have bcon decoycd OUT Of The
house, was found partially thrown into
lime kill. his head literally beaten to frag.
mculs with Il rail. which was picked up
close by with all the hosrid navks Of the
use that had been made of il.
On entering The house. Mr.. Parkc was
found in his bed dead, with his throat Gu,
from car to car. His sister, Mrs. Cartner,
aud he infan, n, her side; in like manner
murdered, and 4 little sou OF four or hvc
years old. stabbed in several pluccs-aud
only no, dead.
There were two other children, bu;'they
slept in distant part Of tho house-un-
known, probably, TO the muIdcrcrs, and
mos, fortunately. they were not awaken
ed by the deeds Of hell perpe'ralius below
aud therefore gave no indication Of their
presence. and only knew they were or
phaus when going in the morning to re-
ceive their mothers accustomed kiss.
The house was riAcd completely y-bu,
what amount Of plumber was obtained, no
one could ye, conjecture.
Tire news spread rapidly, the country

Plumber, undoubtedly. vas The motive,
and universal opinion ascribcd The hurrid
deeds TO strangers who mus; have come

As there must lave bcen Two or three
concerned, The hope seems reasonable that
clue will be found and due punishment
