SHOCKING MURDERS. We learn from the
Mississippi Free Trader, that on the 25th ult.,
the bodies of three persons-two women and
one man-were found in a Aat-boat, about ten
miles above Natchcz, in such a condition as to
leave no doubt Of their having been murdered
with an axe. 1t appears that the boat was oc-
cuped by the man as trading boat, and that
he had nearly disposed of his stock of goods or
cargo. The murderer is supposed to have been
man employed by tile owner of the boat at
Nicksburg, but having some difficulty he was
discharged, and afterwards came on board,
committed the horrible act, and fired the boat.

SALT FOR Corn. The Germantown Tele-
graph recommends the use of common salt as
a certain remedy against the attacks of grubs,
worms, and every other depredator upon the
young corn plant. Let it be mixed with plas-
ter, in the proportion of one quart of salt to
three quarts of plaster, and applied at the same
time and in the same manner as plaster usually
is applied, being about tablespoonful to each
hill. Care should be taken, however, not to
throw the mixture upon the plants, as the salt
may prove injurious to them; but put it around
them and TO them.
