A TERRIBLE BLOODY TRAGFDy,

The vicinity Of Dayton was the field O
as dark and damnable a tragedy on Fri
day night last, as the annals Of crime
lbave afforded for years. An old widow
and her son, lad Of some fourteen
years, were found murdered in the
woods, by the roadside, aud the son-in.
law Of The woman, Frank Dick, is not on.
y suspected Of being the 6end who did
it, but the proofs are almost conclusive
against him. The womun's name wa'
Young; she owned small mill, and will
her son wasaccusiomed TO attending the
Dayton market with meal, which they
conveyed with cart and horse. is
The Journal, Of Saturday gave the
following parliculars:
The skulls Of both were terribly
I, crushed. The blows had been given in
the faces Of the victims, which were
blackened and disfgured, and their fore
heads broken in.
The wagon appeared 10 have been GO
ing up sligh, elevation, which was in a
thick part of The woods when the blow
was struck. The wagon seemed To
have run back against an old log, and in
the road above there are marks of a strug-
gle. A piece Of The unfortunate wo-
man's comb lay in the wagon.track;
marks of hands, struck upon tho earth, as
|if in agony, are plainly discernnble.
From this point the body of the woman
wus dragged through the bushes some
sixty yards, 10 the place where it was
found.
The boy seems 10 have been endea.
vorng 10 make his escape, and 10 have
been pursued and murdered in an old
tree-!op which lay upon the ground. The
leaves were oil covered with blood. The
body had been dragged, apparently, a
short distance from the spot, and was
found at the foo, Of tree, and not far
from the read. The boys cap was found
thirty yards beyond the place on tie road
where the assault was made.
Frank Dick was noticed near the scene
of The murder, seated on log, his head
resting upon bis hand. Shortly after he
left the place to go back TO the house oI
Mrs. Young, and it is said soon increased
his pace to run. He was followed, ar.
rested, and committed ,ojail. Blood
was found upon his shirt collar and bo.
som. and the sleeves had been washed
ou, in dirty water. rubbed over with sand
and rolled up.

found in canal few days ago, will

son-in-law Dick is reported as lazy

wife and children lived with the old wo'
man, he had been driven AWAY by her
His wife says that, though her mother
had sent him of, he had been about the
house every night this week until las
night.
After the return Of Young from Mex
leo, Dick, il seems, had assisted him il
paying for the mill; the deed, it is said
having been made 10 Mrs. Young. The
desire TO obtain possession OF the mil
property is set forth as a motive for lht
commission Of this double murder.

THE DAYTON MURDER CONFESSED
We learn from the Empire Of Monday
evening, tina. Frank Dicks, son-in'law OF
the murdered Mrs. Young and son, has
made a confession Of the crime. Martin
Ssffen, with whom he had worked, went
to the Jail, when Dicks asked him 10 get
his coat, telling him he would find it in
The stable. The garment, however, had
been found previously, at the place spo-
ken Of by the murderer, with many marks
of blad upon it. Saffen, the Empire
says, told Dicks that it would not do TO
bring his coat 10 him, as it was marked
with blood and would be an evidence ol
his guilt. He further stated 10 him thai
the officers were nut with large force
looking for the instrument with which he
had committed the murder, and the bes
plan for Dicks was TO tell him (Saffen
what he had used, and whore il was, SC
that he might 90 aud conceal H. Dick:

SALrINe SHERp.-Salt is indispensable
TO the health Of Sheep, particularly 10
summer-and j know not t1ock master
who differs with me in this opinion. It
is common TO give j, once week while
the sheep are at grass. 1t is still better
10 give them fee access TO salt at all
times, by keeping it in large hollow
log, with holes Gu. along the side for the
insertion Of the heads Of the sheep. A
sheep having free access to salt at all
tines, will never eat too much, and it
will take its supply when and in what
quantities nature demands, instead of
eating voraciously al stated periods, as
