HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-From u private letter,
dated Patton, Cape Giradean county, Missouri,
we are permitted te make the following extract:
An atrocous murder and house burning took
place ON Wednesday night last, within eight
miles of this place a young man by the name
of Buckner, some time since married widow
who had daughter nearly grown. Not long af
ter they were married, Buckner sedueed the
young lady, or, some say, rayished her. Since
which time, Buekner, the old lady, and the girl
have been quarreling and fighting. On Wcdnes-
day night last Buckner IT turned home, after an
absence of about two months, when his wife
caught him and held him, while her daughter
killed him with an axe! To hide all traces of
their work, they set fire to the house, consuming
the body of Buckner in the flames What led to
IL discovery of the murder the circumstance
of Buckner being absent long, and some of the
neighbors seeing him come home on Wednesday
evening. They saw no more of him, so they
went to raking and scrapng among the Goals and
ashes of the burnt house, and found some bones
which excited fearful suspicious. An inquest
was held yesterday, and they were declared to be
human bones. All the parties concerned have
been arrested except the young woman. Mrs.
Blckner has made al full confession.

A Doc SToRY.-We heard singular
story concerning couple of dogs, a
day or two since, which interested us,
and perchance the recital may not be
wholly uninteresting to our readers.
Two gentlemen of our acquaintance went
to Gravel Island short time ago, on a
cunning expedition, each carrying a good
large cunning dog. In the course Of
their ramblings one of the gentlemen
shot "a duck, and both dogs started about
the same time TO secure the game and
bring it to shore. The dog who first
reached the duck was soon fercely at
tackled by the other, on his arrival At
the spot, and a desperate fight ensued
which resulted in the death and drowning
of the dog who first secured the game,
which, during the battle had been for
gotten and gone tn sea. After fully
satisfying the ferocity of his nature by
killing his antagonist, the victorious dog
grappled to his victim, and after a very
hard struggle for nearly an hour, against
very strong tide, brought him to the
shore and dragged him well up upon the
beach. manifesting evidently, feelings Of
contrition for the awful deed he had just
ommitted.-Kantuelet Inquire
