MURDER Mosr Foul AND UssArU-
RAL.-0n Monday night last a most
foul murder was committed few miles
from Batavia. It appears that some of
the neighbors had assembled at the farm
house Of Mr.. Taylor Carliss to join in a
husking frolic. On these occasions il
ID the custom 20 furnish good deal Of
whisky. Late in the evening few OF
the company left the house and built up
Q FIRE some one hundred and fifty or two
hundred yards distant. in order, we pre-
sumo, 70 talk louder and to have more
room to move in. The sequel shows
that the members of that little coterie
got to drinking pretty freely, which led
to general quarrel. The result Of II
was that young man, barely twenty
one years of age, named Henry Field,
q few hours after the aforementioned
party left the house, was found dead,
having received no less than five stabs
with either dirk or some other kind of
kife, one of which pierced his heart
II was not known who committed the
bloody deed, but on the following morn
ing q man named Green H. Hosse, q
brother-in-law Of the murdered man,
together with Dowty Carliss, brother
of Taylor Carliss, were arrested. accu-
sed Of the crime. The men taken in
custody were to have had their examina-
ton yesterday at Batavia before Squire
Penn. We Gid not hear the result Of
the investigation. The affair has caus-
eda great excitement in that region
the whole township was up in arms
about it. We shall probably hear more
about the matter o-morrow.-CiD Eng.

We have not met with Democrat
yet who is more than half satisfied he
has got victory. They are not jol-
", and with reason too. The real To-
cofoco party was broken down by the
defeat Of Pierce and Douglas in the
Convention. Since then they see
nothing but the wreck of their leaders
and their prospects. The accidental
majority Of Electoral votes is not the
standard by which shrewd people
judge Of the strength Of party
They look to the people, not the cleo
tors; and when they see that Buchan-
An has moi majority Of the people,
and that his plurality is mainly due to
old Wings, they see plainly that the
party Of locofocoism is broken up
Hence the real locofocos are nos jolly.
