HORRIBLE MURDERs.-We take the following from
the last Ouachfa (La.) Register A brutal and
horrid murder was committed some ten days since
on the person o. one Mrs Jones poor uniortuna:s
Gg schoolhouse in the neighborhood Of louisville.
ia this parish, who was found dead In the morning,
her body being partially consumed by the barring
of the building over her helpless head. All that IS
little children, who stale that during the night some
one entered the house, and, after some loud words
had passed, struggle ensued between their m,thec
and the person, the former having been knocked
down and afterwards struck several timea-that a.
ter they had been similarly treated, the door was
fastened and the house set on fire, which prevented
them from succeeding In the attempt they made to
rescue the body Of their almost helpless mother
from the fiames they being forced to creep out Of
the window to save their own lives. From all the
circumstances connected with the character of the
deceased together with the revelation made by tho
children we are disposed to believe that the perpe-
traitor Of this uDproyoked murder was q lswIess
black, who, knowing her deenceless situation for
chilly outraged her person and afterwards resoxted
to this helish extremity TO conceal the act.
The Register likewise contains the followiug:-
On Saturday last, an affay took place ct q grog-
shop in the colony, about eight miles distant from
this place, between one George P0sey and MIN
named Vincent, which ended in the death Of the
latter. It seems that fight had previously ensued
between the parties within the precinct Of this po-
pular hell, in which Vincent was victorious where
upon Posey stepped out the door, procured shot
gun, and challenged Vincent 70 come out-statng ,
at the same time, that if he did he would shoot
him; which he did Al soon a. Vincent obeyed his
challenge, inflicting Q wound which caused his
death in less than fifteen minutes. This u another
sevt re rebuke to ell who favor this depraved system
oflicensing dram shops, and We hope, for the sake
be recolected by the voters of the parish in August
next. Posey, as far we are informed of the cir
cumstance, Is guilty Of premeditated murder-uoe
in the least mtigated by the state of mind and CIR
cumgtancee under which Il was d0ne-and ha ah0ni6
il II is possible, be spprehended and brought to
trial. for, II we suffer few more such culprits to
escape, we may az well bid adieu TO law and order
