a Little goy in Love and Crime.

Four boys were arrested on. Friday
evening at Barnum's Museum, where they
had called to hire private box for them
selves. The eldest of the youngsters had
"falIen in love- with little Eva, and for
seceral nights last week had hired stage
box for himself and companions at 50
ner night. The manager of the Museum
seeing them come so often for private
box. and suspecting they had money that
had been obtained dishonesty, sent for
the police, and on searching them an en-
pity envelope, addressed to Sheppard 6
Co., Fulton street, was found on the per-
son of the oldest boy. 1t was then ascer~
tanned that the firm had recently lost sew
eral money letters, and this boy having
been the person who took the letters
out of the Post Offeefor the firm no
was suspected of retaining them for
his own use, and was sent before the
United States Court. One evening
last week be threw upon the stage hapd
some gold bracelet for '1ittle Eva,
and has been in the habit of watching the
stage that she entered as she was leaving
the Museum for home after the evening 8
performance, and of getting into it. He
is about IA years of age.-N. 7. 1aSbtne

Horrible Discovery. Teri Persons Perish.
ed on the Erairies.

We are furnished by gentleman from
Lafayette, Ind, with the details of a ru-
NOR current in that City on Thursday
which fills the mind with horror, in view
of the suferings of the party to whom il
refers.
On the Saturday preceding the mem-
orable storm of the 2lst of January, two
families, numbering ten persons, moving
| from Southern Indiana to Northern Hi
nois arrived at Oxford, the county seat
Of Benton County Ind, about 40 miles
northwest of Lafayette, with two ox-teams,
and well provided with necessaries for the
road. They remained there through the
storm, and on Monday morning resumed
their journey. Last Tuesday morning .
man passing over prairie, only about
FIVE miles from Oxford, came upon a sight
which filed him with horror.
The carcases of two oxen, from which
the viscera had been removed, lay upon
the ground. Inside of one of them were
the frozen bodies of four children, and in
the other the frozen corpse of the mother
with nursing infant at her breast. I'm
der the snow was heap of ashes, in which
the iron of the wagons showed that the
party had broken them up, and burned
everything they had in them, in the eff
fort to save their lives. Not far from this
spot found the body of the other woman
OF the party, partly concealed in snow
drift and near her one of the men. The
two other men had not been found
1t is probable that the party became
inextricably involved in the snow drifts
on the bleak prairie and lost their pres
enee of mind. After burning up tbeir
wagons, it would seem that the men b ad
killed two of the oxen for a shelter for
those found in them, and then, accom-
panied by one woman, vainly endeavored
to reach the town they had left, aud pro-
cure aid to rescue their companions. The
two other oxen had wandered off. There
was nothing about the persons to indicate
who they were, and nothing more is
known about them than was acoidently
communicated by them during their brief
stay at Oxford.

Horrible Murder in Missouri.

It has been communicated to the An
zeiger Office in this city, by gentleman
living in Lexington. Mo-, that two Irish
.peddlers, named John Kanehan and Jas.
Carrigan, left that city about two weeks
ago, carrying with them two large and
valuable packs, containing dry goods and
Jewelry. They travelled about forty-6ye
miles to the town of Warrenburg,. john
son County, where they concluded to stop
for the night. Feeling very much fatig-
ued, one of them, Kanahan, Immediately
retired to rest. About an hour after
ords, Carrigan went to the bedroom OF
his companion, and was surprised at not
finding him. However, he finally con-
cluded to lie down. AS soon as be touch
ed thesbed he found it was wet. He lit
candle, and discovered that the bed was
covered with blood, and upon looking un-
der it, discovered the body of bis cOmpan-
ion. While looking at the body he heard
footsteps on the stairs He extinguished
the candle, drew his bowie knife, and sta
toned himself behind the door. In few
moments three men entered, one having
candle and bloody axe in his hands, and
the others clubs. He sprang upon then
suddenly, and before they could recover
from their surprise, succeeded in killing
all three of them. He then went to
magistrates Office, made bis statement
was tried, and acquitted.-S. L0"'

BREAeH OF PRoM1sE.-At the recepk

BREACH OF PRoMIsE.-At the recent
terra Of the Circuit Court of Orange Coun-
ty, held at Goshen. Miss Charlotte Wright
brought suit against Langford r. Brown
for breach of marriage promise. The
case was tried, and the plaintiff recovered
DAMAGE in the sum of S3,5O0. Thus
Langford was done right hto,on; and as
the circumstances are stated to have been
of an aggravated character, we think the
Jury but did their duty. This trihing
with young ladies' affections is non psy-
ing business, and should be suspended.
