SUSPECTED MURDER AT RFaDIyq-T The
Reading Democrat, of Saturday, says On
wednesday, the Sd instant, the dead body OF
German pedler, who suddenly disappeared
from the neighborhood of Bern township, some
time last Fall, was found in the SchuyIkIl
river, at Felix's Dam. The body was considers.
ably decayed, and had apparently lain in the
water long time. 1t appears that during the
Fall, dog which was known to have belonged
to the deceased, was observed for weeks wan
derlng about in the woods near where the body
was discovered, howing pitieously, although
repeated attempts were made to shoot him, and
drive him away, still haunting the spot with
pertnacity which excited the curiosity Of the
neighbors and gave rise TO suspicion that foul
play had befalen his master. After the body
was found, DIR. John Spartz made an examin-
alton, and discovered unmstakeabIe marks of
a rifle ball All the circumstances of this sad
case lead to the belief that punder was the
cause of the murder. The villain who COM
mtted the bloody deed could have no other
object than the possession Of the valuable watch
es, rings, and other jewelry that the pedler
was known to carry with him. He was prob
ably shot near the spot where the dog already
alluded to remained, and MS body, after having
been stripped of all his valuables, dragged to
the dam, mile distant, and thrown INTO the
water, to oblIteraate all traces of the horrible
crime.

From the Rio Grande.

ANOTHER FIGHT.-By the arrival of the
steamship Fanny, Capt. Talbot. from the
Brazos, we have papers from Brownsville
10 the 28th nit. 1t appears from the fol-
lowing, which we take from the American
Flag of the 2Sth, that another fight had
taken place between CarvajaI and the
Government troops, and that the efforts of
the revolutlonists have been again defeated.
On Friday, the goth, Carvaial crossed
the river few miles below the Rio Gran
de City, and marched slowly up towards
Camargo. On Saturday, they were met
by the forces under the Mexican leaders :;
at that time the forces under CarvaiaI
amounted TO an indefinite number. ranoino
between 200 and 50O-reports differ so
wldely-slXteen of whom were Indians ::
also l2-ponnd gun and a good supply of
ammunition. The Mexican forces CHARGED
on CarvaJal with uncommon impetuositv,
with $50 cavalry. On receiving the first
charge, large body of Carvaal's troops
broke and fled in great disorder. The
men who first commenced the Sta,nDpde
are SAID TO have composed the command of
Capt. Nunez, and were mostly if not all
MeXlcans but in their progress thew took
with them many Americans. These fled
the field and never returned. Those few.
not over eighty men, who stood the onset.
repulsed the charging party by the discharge
of their gun. double loaded with carnister.
making great slaughter in their ranks
The charge was repeated three different
times with the like result After this the
Mexican forces retired, and crossed the
San Juan river also, about this time the
remaining forces of Carvaial left in small
parties, 1t now being between l. and II
O'Clock at night. and quite dark. In few
hours from that time the battle field was
deserted by both contending parties.-
When 1t became known TO the Mexicans
that Caryajal had left, they returned and
took possession of the ground, their oppo-
nents having left their only gun, ammunition
wagon, DC. The Mexican general also
reports one hundred and twenty stand of
arms taken at the same time.

SHOCKING IRAGEDY.-An atrocious murder
was committed at Stewarts Town, York county,
Pennsylvania, on the 10th instant. The vic
tim was little girl, named Eliza Ann Busler,
daughter of Jacob Buster, a poor laborer.
The particulars are briefly these The family
residing at home, consists of the parents and
four children. The father, in company with
the eldest boy, aged about 10 years, left home
early in the morning for the scene of their
daily labor The mother left home about or
5 o'clock, A. NJ, to procure some necessaries
at the store Of Mr.. Joel Metzel. The children
left at home during this time, were Calharine
b., girl aged about II years the little girl
Ohe victim) and a child aged year. Mrs B.
had Just reached her husband on her way home,
about l o'clock, p. NJ, when the news was
brought that their little girl was murdered by
having her throat cut. Such proved to be the
case. The statement OF Catharine B , aged
II, was, that she in company with the others,
were outside the door, when an old man small
in size, with grey beard, wearing yellowish
or brown suit, somewhat ragged a white slouch
hat torn, came to them, seized her sister by the
arm and led her into the house Z. heard her
sister scream twice, when she made her
escape with the babe she afterwards saw The
man come out and 90 off. She then returned
to the house, and found her sister dead, and the
butcher knife, with which the deed had been
committed, laying near her, covered with blood
She then took the child and ran off to Mr..
James Johnston, about half mile distant. and
gave the alarm. A knife found was covered
nearly to the back with blood, and is supposed
to be the instrument used The throat was
cut back until the knife was stopped by the
bone, both uain arteries being completely
severed. The person killed was little girl,
scarcely 10 years Of age; and suspicious are
strong that she was murdered by her sister,
Catharine B. Busler, aged only II years, be-
cause the deceased threatened to tell her
mother that Catharne had stolen some trlflng
article from the closet.
