MURDER AT CARTH,GE.-The Lebanon


Packet of Friday says:
A most brutal murder was perpetratcd
at Carthage on last Monday night, by a
man named Turpin. 1t appears that Tur-
pin took offence at some remark made by
one of old Joe Sweeny's Band Of Minstrcls.
who were performing in Carthage on tina,
night, and determined to kill him. After
the performance was over, Turpln passed
down the street, and on hearing music
teacher named Chapman, performing on a
violin, he conceived this to be the one who
had offended; he rushed into the house, and
with a large knife, inflicted three or four
mortal wounds on the left side of his inof-
fensive victim, who expired in less than an
hour. Next morning Turpin was found
npprehcnded and lodged in Jail to await
his trial.

Music IN EyERYTHING.-Thc elements
Of music are in everything around us; they
are found in every part Of crcation--in the
chirping of the fcathered choris,ers of Ma

scrfall or the wild roar of the waves, in the
hum Of the distant multitudcs or the con-

on the ears as 1t agitatcs the trees Of the
forest as when thehurricane sweeps around.
