A FIEND The following is from the R1-
leigh Register, l. is horrible transactions:
Letters were received here last week,
from Hyde, TyraIl, and B ieuGort counties,
stating that, Washington Crroway, a ciLi-
zen Of Hyde county, soma fly years Of age
and many years a Baptist preacher, lately,
on some frivolous %pretexf, knocked his wife
down with a char, aud then seized a large
stick and continued to beat hcr, until n man
named Llssiter, who was boarding in the
house, intcrfered to prevent her being muir
dered. W%hereupon Carroway took his gun
to shoot Lassiter; but he diSlrmed him and
left the house. A few days afterwards,
L1ssiter CHANGED to go by the house, which
stood near the public road, when Carroway,
seeing him pass, took his gun and ran
through his field to cut him off, and overtak-
ing him in the savannah, shot him dead:
then took his victim AMI carried him some
half mile into the swamp, threw him face
down into the mul, and stamped hi n below
the surface of the mud, covered him with
brush, then ran of, made bis escape from
tho county, and eludcd pursuit. He hut
been married three times, and has had chill
dren by each marriage, and, horrible to tell
circumstances have now come out which
strongly indicate that both of his deceased
wives came to their deaths by his hands.

took them off and tied them round her neck;
the strings broke. She stood still, close to
me, making no resistance, so | knew the Lord

around her throat aud choked her. then
laid het down on the floor softly, so as to
make no noise and took OF enc Of my stock

Jlcob Reif, in passing through a piece Of
timber land, about one half mile from the
CiIcleville road, owned by Mary Binheimer,
in Clcarcreek township, Fairfield county,
discovered the remains of parts Of a human
body, and on the 3Oth the coroner of the
county held an inquest over said body, and
the following facts were elected by the ev'-
dence. before the jury:
On or about the 5th day Of March last, two
men were seen on the Circieville road, COM
ing from the direction Of Circleville; one Of
whom was inquiring for grain fed sheep, and
they were directed to go TO the house of Mr..
Ashbrook, who lives off Of the Circleville
road, about n mile, where they could per-
hups purchase sheep. They being on foot,
were directed to 20 across this piece Of tins
Der land, which contains perhaps two hun
dred acres, or more, as being nearer than by
the road and this is the last that was ssen of
those men, until the remains Of the one who
en1uired for grain fed sheep was found in
said woods. The clothing which he wore
was fully identified by witnesses who saw
him, on that day, on the road. His skull
shows bullet hole on the back part, and a
part of the front is broken as though it had
been done with u stone.
Eastern papers will please assist in fer
reting outthe murderer, by giving publicity

The above levy, says the State Auditor,
entirely supercedes the ordinary School
levy,by County Commissioners. II is prcvid-
cd, however, by the 22d section Of the New
School Law, passed March II, 1853, that
the Board of Education in any organized
township of this State, may return what ad-
ditional levy ID necessary for their wants,
and If such levy is made known by certii d.
cate in writing to the Auditor, before the
first Monday in June, it shall BIO his duty to
make the required assessment on taxable
property liable thereto.
When allowance is made for the School
levy heretofore made by the County Com.
