Mlstetious Murder Of Tour Mem.

We learn from the, Times that on Sunday
last three young Englishmen,. by the names
of Hepstenslall, Oswald and Upton, called
at the residence Of Mr.. Phillips, corner of
Eighth and Sycamore streets. and allincom-
pany started ona pleasure excursion. which
it seems had been previously agreed uPon.-
They did not ret"rn on Sunday and nothing
was heard from them The friends Of the
parties becoming alarmed, started in search,
and on Monday afternoon learned that two
hats and coats had been. found in Licking,
near Getaways saw-mill. After visiting
the mill and making inquiries, they learned
that skif, containing persons answering to
the description of the missing men had been
seen there on Sunday evening, and that the
officers Of the Licking packet had heard cries
for help. in that vicinity about O'clock, and,
in addition, papers were found ia one OF the
coats which places it beyond all doubt that
it was part Of the apparel of Hepstenstall..
Search was Immediately commenced (orthe
bodies, and those Of Oswald. Philips and Up
ION were found, but that Of Hepstensall was
still missing last evening. An inquest was
held on the bodies in Newport. 1t was elic-
tied, in The course of The examination that

the ferryman had heard the call for help on
Sunday night, and shortly after a loud cry Of
murder. @f.ls.4ass 81
He FASTENED in The direction of the cries,
and found two men near the edge OF the
river. They seemed much excited, and
hastened away upon the appearance OF the
ferryman, who could through the darkness
discover no trace of other persons in the. Vi
cinity. A gold watch and all the ,aluables
the parties had with them when they lel'
home were missing. 7 VI
Phillips kept a family grocery on the cor

: Scarlet Fever.

In Braiihwaite's Retrospect Of Practical
Medicine and Surgery, DR.. Gardener, has a
paper respecting the treatment of scarlet fe-
ver with ,bellaaona, in which he says that he
has not yet met with fatal case in treating
with it. He administers the belladona ac-
cording to the ability Of the patient, in doses
of half grain to whole grain, every three
or four hours. He does not allow delirium
to deter him from giving the medicine. The
diet he recommends is bread and milk. DR..
Green, of Peckham, England, corroborates
this, and says he has used it for ten years
successfully. His doses to persons above
puberty is one-sixth Of grain in mint-water,
every four hours; for infants, very minute
doses are given, and these with caution, DR..
Bennett, of Gatesend. states that after am
monia, mineral acids, and the application o.
nitrate of silver. had all failed, in treating
malignant scarlet fever, he found that one Oh
two tablespoonfuls Of fresh yeast frequently
given, was quickly efficacious as an antisep'
tic and stimulant. & %1a aD@

tiyes from the hands Of the Camanche and Lipan
Indians, and their delivery to the Mexican authors
ties at Guerraro, Mexico, agreeably to the llh ar
sicle Of the treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Sixteen
Of the prisoners were boys, and all were children
collected in the predatory excursions Of those In
dians from different parts Of the Northeastern Pro-
vinces Of Mexico; but, although many of them had
been from FIVE to seven years in captivity, the
United States officers were enabled to gather such
particulars respecting their parentage and places Of
birth as will probably secure the return Of them
all to their families.
