tons of Butter and Lard show an apparent fall

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY-.a Son Murdered by a
Father. We learn from the Lynchburg Virgil
Man, that most horrid and aggravated MUIR
der was peipetrated on Christmas day in the
village of Madison, on the Amherst side Of the
river from Lynchburg, by father imbruing
his hands in his own sons blood. 1t appears
that the son, Edmund Malone, between 90 and
rs years of age, with the remainder of the ia
mily, were setting at the dinner table, when
some very trivial dispute arose between him and
his father, Blanks Malone. The old man then
stepped up behind his son with large knife,
(perhaps prepared for the purpose as it is I'M
derslood he had often before threatened to CON-
nit the deed, ~ and stabbed his son through the
breast-bone to the heart. A large stream of
blood Immediately flowed out, and the unfor-
tunate victim soon died. The father is lodged
in Amherst Jail, awaiting his trial before the
proper tribunal 81
