ssMurder.n
III Is our painful duty to record the murder of
one OF the citizens of Lee county. The cireum.
stances as far as we have learned them are these.
Horatio McGardle of West Point, purchased q
farm of John J. Jones, situated few miles from
West Point, and FOR which he made the first ma
ment, as agreed upon, and took possession but
before the next payment became due he ascer
tanned that Jones conld not give him good title.
lie OF course refused to make the next payment
until the title was perfected. While at work in
the held on Friday last, Jones came to him and
used threatening language and endeavorcd to
brighten him off the premises. MeCarlle told
Jones that he should bold possession of the nron.
erty until some other arrangement was made
Jones then raised his gun which he had brought
with him, and swore he would shoot him, which
ne dld almost at the same instant. McCardle ran
lew steps, exelailning .Good Lord am shot y
ana then sank down and expired, the ball taking
effect Ill the side and coming out near the heart
His son was in the field with him, and while he
ran to the assistance of his father, Jones made
his escape. The Sheriff of Lee county has offer
ed reward of 100 dollars for his apprehension.
Ills appearance is so peculiar that he can hardly
avoid detection. Heis thus described ABOUT

long coarse hair growing out of the,n-a vcrv

Mrs. Swisheim has been to baby show and
rather intlmateS, five can understand her. that
she don't quite like them. Here is what she
says, at any rate: The poor dupes of mothers
are to he pited rather than blamed Some of
them are decent innocent women, who have no
definite idea OF tie light in which they place
themselves, and most are too nearly idio.ic to be
accountable. But it is not right that humanity
should be degraded thus in these persons; no.
body expects any respect for humanity from
Barnum, The parties really to blame for these
exhibitions are the city authorities who grant
these licences, and people of ordinary sense who
go to see anything totally devoid of attrac-
tons. Ugly, stupid women, and ordinary, vul-
garx-aressed children are no great rarity in this
great republic: any one who givesa quarter to see
a lot of them deserves pair of lonkey's cars
The exhibition is akin to the old model artist
shows and when Barnum and Wood visit a city
to bring shame on the mothers of it by one Of
these shows, the sons ofthat city should see them
safely past the suburbs on pair of rails

ing. As the Express train from Albany for New
York, which left Chatham Four Corners at $50,
in charge of Mr.. Robert White, conductor, was
about midway between Cossake and Boston Cor.
ners, going over an embankmcnt Of about thirty
five feet elevation, the entire train, with the ex-
ccpton of the engine and tender was suddenly pre-
cptated into the valley below, 6y sudden aust of
rind, as is alleged, landing with great violence
upside down. The train consisted of the engine,
tender, baggage car, and three passenger cars
the latter filled with passengers.
Great CONSERVATION prevailed on every side as
the atirigbted passengers found themselves sud-
denly precipitated down the embarrassment, amid
the wreck of the cars and the scattered baggage
The lights had all been extinguished, and mid
night darkness cnveloped the scene The con-
ductor Immediately set about extricating the dy-
ing and the wounded from the ruins, and also dis
patched the engineer to Merton, the nearest
station, about seven miles distance for assistance
On removing the wreck, it was found that two
passengers were killed, several Others badly in
jurcd, and a large number more or less disabled
The engineer soon returned with the cars and as
sistance, when the dead and wounded were
placed therein, and the train started for this city,
where it arrived at 81 o'clock this morning, leav-
ing such of the passengers resided on the line
at their houses.
The dead are MIR. Rathbonc, a paper man,f,c-

The Late Tfagedg in Mississippi.


The murder of Professor Clark S. Brown, at
Pontotoc, Mississippi, of which lately made
mention, bears a remarkable likeness to the ease
Of Matt Ward and Professor Butler AS the
circumstances are narrated by letter from the
place, it appears that Brown YVES a native of \ ew
Hampshire, a graduate at Dartmouth College and
principal of the "Pontotoc Male Academy" A
few days previous to the murder, he punished
for some misdemeanor, lad named Carey Wray
about II years of age. John an elder brother of
sequently expelled for having at the time, it is
alleged, twice threatened Professor Brown if he
whipped his brother again. Three days after the
occurrence, another brother, aged Ia years, who
was studying medicine in office in the city,
armed himself with revolver and bowie knife,
went to the academy, and wanted Brown called
out but as he was too much excited at tho time
the assistant refused the request. Wray left
saying that he would see him ON his way home
and al the close Of the session he met his victim
IN the public park. He accosted him Iudely. told
HIM that he had imposed upon his brother, and,
when he undertook, to reason the matter, called
him by an insulting epithet. and aimed a blow
with his fist at Browns face The LATTER seeing
Ways weapons as the blow was aimed. raised
little riding whip, and prepared to defend him
self. Immediately thereupon, Wray drew his
knife and inflicted seven fatal wounds, which
caused Browns instant death The murderer
was arrested and committed to prison, but his
friends made vigorous efforts to forestall Justice
by pro,aptly securing all the legal counsel the
place affords. Professor Brown leaves young
wife TO whom he had only been married a few
months.

w WASHINGTON, July >, $500.
The Chevalier Wikoff arrived in town on Fri
day last, and had, | understand a long interview
with Secretary Marcy, on Saturday, at the State
Department. He gave, it is said, TO Marcy a full
account of his diplomatic career in Europe, in
connection with the British government and Lord
Palmerson, and also of his diplomatic and per-
sonal relations with Louis Napoleon. His de
scripton his political movements in London,
Paris, and elsewhere, and of various passages in
his intimaces with certain illustrious personages
amused Marcy very much, and will probably give
him some new IDEAS. Wkof is said to possess
raro talent as raconteur, and the gusto with
which the Secretary must have listened to and
chuckled over his narrative. would no doubt have
cen highly gratifying toLord Palmerston and the
French Emperor could they have been witnesses
of the scene.
