throat, breast and abdomen, twenty three OF

There was wound through the heart. over
which his hand was resting when the body
was found, and this, it is supposed, was the first
one inflicted
Suspicion having fallen upon Mr. VIM. Ewe
who resides some three or four miles from Prin-
cess Anne Courthouse, and with whom deceased
had some difficulty on Friday afternoon at the
Courthouse. he was arrested on Saturday after
noon and after rigid examination, which was
protracted until O'Clock Sunday morning, nc
cused was discharged
The commission of the murder was evidently
very deliherate-the sole purpose having beer to
kill, for there were no marks of struggle, and
the pocket book of the deceased, containing mon
ey and papers was eft,undsribcd.
Tho excitement in the county is very intense
and great sympathy is felt for the untimely fate
of the deceased who was only about p years of
age, and also for his family. He leaves an es-
Unable lady aud two children, the eldest being
three years old. Mrs, McAlpinc who is in very
delicate health, and who had been painfully inn
pressed with the fear that some accident had be-
fallen her husband, overwhelmed by the
mournful intelligence of his cruel DEATH falling
PROSTATE and apparently almost lifeless beneath
the sudden and heart rending stroke.
Extraordinary exertons are being made in the
county to detect the murderer Petersburg Err
