More Eorrid Murders.

It has become our painful duty to give
an account of two, and we presume three,
new murders committed in this county.
On the afternoon of Tuesday last, man
by the name of George Lake, a clock and
watch repairer, residing in the town of
La Grange, brutally murdered two of
his children, aged two and four years, by
chopping them almost in pieces with an
axe he also knocked his wife down, and
struck her on the head with the axe,
wounding her so seriously that there is
no chance for her recovery. AS nearly
as we can get the facts, they are as fol-
lows:
He first knocked down his wife with
the axe, and then struck her blow with
it on the head he next seized the oldest
child, and dashed it on the door sill with
a force probably sufficient to kill it, and
then with the axe cut it horribly, almost
in pieces; then went up stairs and seized
the youngest child, which he threw out
of the window, and chopped it as he did
the other, with the axe, rendering the
tragedy altogether one Of the most horrid
that has ever occurred in this county.
On hearing of the awful affair the nei gh-
bors turned out in force to take him, and
found him at his house, still armed with
rifle, pistols and a sword, declaring he
would not be taken, and threatening
death to any who dare approach him.
But after some consultation it was decided
to shoot him if he could not be taken by
other means, when one of the company
fired and sent charge of coarse shot
into his shoulder, which brought him
down, and forced him to surrender
After an examination, he was brought
here on Wednesday and lodged in Jail,
where he remains to await the demands
of justice. Some accounts say he was a
man of good and Industrious habits,
heretofore much attached to his wife and
children; but others say he was the re-
verse, and man Of the most malcvolent
and ungovernab BILE temper. He had p~e-
viously been in Jail, charged with attempt
ing to murder his brother-in-law by
shooting at him with rifle. We have
heard no cause assigned for the triple
murder with which he now stands charged
and which we understand he confesses.
His wife has since died of the injuries
she received.-PoughkeepSie Eagle.

EDIroRIAL AFFRAY.-The editors of the
Quincy Herald and Wing had a street
fight on the morning of the 7th instant,
during which Mr.. Brooks of the Herald
drew revolver and shot Mr.. Morton of
the Wing in the shoulder. The wound,
we presume, was not dangerous, as MIR.
NJ. was able, two days after, to write an
account of the affair. Mr.. Brooks was
held to bail in the sum of $500. The diff
ficulty grew out of comments made by
Morton as to the management of the
Quincy Post Office, of which Brooks is
Postmaster.

Australia are confirmed by the English
papers. They say of the 134lb. lump

$4,000 had been offered for it. Out of
the same luckyhole was procured another
piece weighing 5lbs. 5oz, and small gold
weighing Obs. 4oz.-making 142lbs. 5oz.

persons, four new corners. Three other
diggers at Ballarat had found, about forty
yards from the bed of the l34lb. nugget,
two Jumps, one weighing 77lbs. Soz., and
the othe other 69lbs. Co.,; the proportion
of pure gold being more than eight-ninths.
And there is report of the finding of a

Nor FAR FROM THE TRUTH.-NIrs. Swis-
helm asserts, in the Pittsburgh Saturday
Visitor, that it is extravaganza and i'm
providence, and nothing else, which keeps
the laboring classes in the power of
capital. The way to become indepen-
dent, continues Mrs. Swisshelm, is, flor
every man to live on half his wages, or
less, if possible, until he buys and pays
for an acre of ground, fences it, builds on
it a house large and close enough to
shelter himself and family from winter
storm. This is his fort. Then let him
take all the time he now spends in tav-
ems and other lounging places, to lay in
stores of ammunition and provisions, in
the shape of useful knowledge CLEANED
from books and papers; and grape vines,
trees, potatoes, and cabbages growing in
his enclosure. If he plants every foot of
it with something pleasant to the eye,
and good for food, no tyrannical employer
can starve him into any degrading sub
mission" Mrs. Swisshelm's article On
this subject should be pasted up on the
walls of every workshop in the country.

Wehaye been looking at the portraits OF these
celebrated authors, as painted by ME. Powell, and
exhibited with his large picture of De Soto at the
rooms Of the Academy.

scant allotment of cheek. Piint is the word,
though. There IS nothing in hisapp Winch

Byronic tie,--he is evidently not the man TO think
Of such things. Romance, in fact, is the article
he lives by, and like other men he chooses to snk

large red round cheeks stand out till they seem to
stretch thevery skin that covers them, and 1t ooks
as smooth aS a polished apple. His black, criSped

divided into two unequal masses, one lncllnng 70

dark and his mouth sensuons, but not 10 the degree

mantle red. He IS the gentleman TO. lay bare the
throat, and look romantic, not ByIonically SO, but
practically. Yet he looks good .humored and Ike

kinds, is boundless. His negro blood IS evident
