Cheap Building Material.

In these days when lumber is getting
scarce, and bricks. iron or stone high in
price. the labOring men of our cities have
TO pay exorbilant rents, or emigrate to the
distant west. where nature opens her
bOuntiIul store for the rich mans benefit.
The great want with this class mere then
is cheap building material Of permanent
character. The inventive mind that snc>

Horrid Murder,

The following, from the Tuscarawas Az
vocate, of the 18th inst, gives an account Of
one Of the most horrid murders that we
have ever read of. We are glad that the
perpetrator of this horrid deed has, been
brought to justice, and we hope thar the
severe penalties of thelaw may be inflicted
upon him:
On last Saturday a murder, in cold blood,
was perpetrated near Bolivar in this county.
1t appears that two brothers. of the name of
O'Fray, were wrestling, when the eldest
one, aged about 60, raised a stick Of wood
to strike the other. Tie wife of the deceas-
ed one intcrfered, and implored him not to
strike her husband, who was reeling under
the effects of i~ntoxication. He made some
violent threats, when. she left 20 arouse the
.neighbors. In a short time she returned
with some of her friends, and saw the life
less form Of her husband, his head all beat
into a jelly. The murderer was sitting on a
log near by, and appeared to be upmoved at
the awful crime he had just committed. He
was arrested, and is now in Jail awaiting his
trial.
