A horrible murder was committed on
Sunday last, at the house Of Mr.. Isaac
LockmlIer, in this county. 1t appears
that Mr.. Lockmiler and wife had left
home to visit sick ne;ghbor a short dis
,ance off, and soon after they left home
Samuel Mcdonald, entered Mr.. Lock
miIIer's house by breaking the window
with a view Of lobbing i; of what he could
find to suit him, we suppose. While
there, Mr.. David Orndorl1 and little
daughter 10 years of age, approached the
house for the purpose orpaying friendly
visit, and just before he reached the door
he was seen by Mcdonald, inside, who
fearing detection, seized Lockmiller's rifle
which was there loaded, and deliberately
shot Orndorn, the bali entering near the
naval and passing obIiqucly to the hip
bone where i, lodged. The wound must
prove fatal, and from what we were in
formed by those who brought Mcdonald
to jail, we presume he has scarcely suryi,
we'd up to this morning. Mr.. Ornd0rh,
we understand, has a wife and eight chill
dren. Mcdonald is only 10 years Of age.
Mr.. O. died on Tuesday, the l2lh.-Ro"l-
neg HrgUS, I4th.

1t is a remarkable fact, so far as our OBJ
setvation or information extends, that the
Joint worm attacks with greatest severity
the outer edges Of wheat felds,neXt timber
land or where grass is growing. This is
attributed TO the fact that the insect comes
from quarters where il has formerly fed on
grain, the stalk of which is tender and nu-
rrirous. This being so, it has been sug-
gested, as we'll worthy trial, that each
farmer who has field at all infected
shall have The outer swathes stacked and
