absence OF some two Nsonths, when his wife
caught aim and held him, while her daughter
killed &in with an-axe! To h'de all traces
Of the work. they then set fire 10 the house,
consuming the body oftuckner m the flames.
What led To . discovery Of the msrder Was
the circumstances of Buckner being absent
SO long and some Of the neighbors seeing
him come home on "Wednesday evening
They saw no more of him, and they went to
raking aud searching among the Goals aOd
ashes Of the burnt house, and found some
bones which excited their suspicious. An
inquest was held yesterday, and they were
declared to be human tones. All the parties
concerned have been arrested, except the
young woman. Mrs. Buckner has made q
