MURDER AND RETRIBUTIoN.--A wealthy
and highly respectable planter of Alexandria,
La, named John e. Young, was lately muir.
dered in daylight, while riding on the public
highway. The Alexandria Democrat gives
these facts -
"a few days subsequent to the murder, a
man named Witzel who lives some 10 miles
below Trinity, came TO town, and stated that
he believed the murderer of Mr.. Young was
staying at his house, and requested warrant
for his arrest, which, for some reason, he fail
ed to obtain. witzel returned home, and on
the next day ordered the supposed murderer
to leave his house, which the latter refused to
do, saying that no one man could make him
leave. An alteration ensued, pending which,
as Witzel states, his unbidden guest avowed
himself as the murderer of Mr.. Young-that
he had killed him for his money, and offered
to divide with Witzel, on condition that the
latter would not attempt to arrest him, or to
drive him off from his house until the rigor of
the pursuit slackened. On this proposition
being refused. he snatched up his gun and
fired two shots at Witzel, who then rushed
upon him, and snatched knife from his own
belt, with which he stabbed him twice and
killed him. On his body were found eight
800 bills OH the Louisiana State Bank-a de-
scription Of money of which Mr.. Young was
known to have received $500 a few days be-
fore leaving Alexandria besides some smaller
bills and gold. The body was subsequently
identified by Mr.. G. A. Hooper and others,
as that of Joshua Hawthorn, a young man
who had been raised in that section of coun-
try, and who had, up to that time, borne an
irreproachable character.
Notwithstanding all this, Witzel was ar
rested for murder.

years of age. The new mother began gradu-
ally to tyrannize over the children, and final
ly to abuse them with all the hatred of a cruel
step-mother. On Wednesday last, after tea,
the children were all seized with violent
sickness at the stomach. Their father jumped
upon horse and rode to Melville, where he
described the symptoms to a physician; who,
taking a stomach, pump and some medicines,
went back with the father to the latter's resi-
dence. The wife was not there, and the IA
Their and the physician suspected foul play
The children were in excruciating agony
The stomach pump was set to work, and the
contents of the stomach were analysed, wien
arsenic was discovered. The two eldest of
the children survived, by the prompt admin
istration of antidotes. but the youngest, the
little boy, died. Diligent search has been
made for the lendish perpetrator of the act,
but without success. The step-mother, who
is strongly suspected, took with her, when
she left home, nearly fifty dollars in money,
and is supposed to have gone to Chicago,
where her parents reside. Officers have gone

ATTEMPT AT MuRDER.-A most singular and
atrocious crime YVES perpetrated in Providence
on Monday evening. Charles Scott, colored
man, about thirty years of age, barber by
trade, called in the morning at the clothing
store of John II. Springer, at the corner of
Haymarket and North Main streets, selected
a suit of clothes. and said that he would call
for them with the money. At o'clock in the
evening he came, just as Mr.. Springer was
closing his store, and said that he would take
the clothes. Mr.. Springer went back and
lighted the store, when Scott demanded his
money, and being refused, sprung upon him,
knocked him down. and cut his throat with a
razor. He also cut his head and face. The
neighbors, alarmed by the noise, came in, when
Scott rushed out, and although closely pur-
sued, made his escape. Mr.. Springers wounds,
though severe, viii not prove fatal. The
Board of Aldermen have offered reward OF
$500 for the apprehension of scott.--Provi-
