4 Girl Murdered by her Lover.

a most horrid and cold-blooded mur.
der was committed on Monday last in
Mckcan township, in this county, about
ten miles from Erie. The victim was
young girl, named Calsta Cornelia
Allen, aged about fifteen, tho daughter
OF George Allen, Of Mexican the mur-
deror was young man of about thirty
five, Walter Hayt. by name, who lived
iii the same neighborhood. The cir.
cumstamcrs, as nearly as we can Learn
them, arc these: Hayt had for some
time entertained passion for Miss AL
len, aud had made propositions of mar
'riage to her, aud he alleges (for he con.
fcsses the crime and the motives that
induced him to do it,) that sho had
promised 30 marry him; that they had
several times agreed upon day for the
c0nsummation of their uuion, Dot had in
each case postponed it ill another; aud
that the very day on which no commit
ted the horrible deed, had been appoint.
ed by precious arrangement, as their
wedding day. On the other hand, her
family state, that she had never been
engaged TO him, and had no intention
Of marrying him, but had always consid-
cred aud treated his attentions as a per-
oeculion. There is little doubt that
this is the fact, aud both bis age and
unseemly appearance, as wei! as her
extreme youth, would seem to con firm
lit.
Hayt confesses that he had premodi-
tatod the deed for several days, and de-
bated with himself for some time whe'h.
Ell to kill the girl or himself, bat finally
settled down on her destruction, provi.
ded she again refused. He therefore

SUFFERING OF NAIIGRANTS.

wv HACA-NN VI A-hINILAN >.
The True Californian gives the fol-
lowing account Of tho dreadful suffer-
lngs endured by tho passengers who
left New York in April last for Caliror-
MIA via Nicaragua:
The steamer Orsaba left New York
on the Slh of April, with some 500
passengers for California, by way Of
Nicaragua. On the 10th she arrived
at San Juan, and the passengers deem
barked. BY meaus Of oper boats they
started up tho river, during a soaking
rain. The exposure caused them much
suffering. When the arrived at Castillo
they were informed that The transit
across tho country was closed; after
two days delay, during which they wcro
constantly exposed TO the weather, thew
were told that if they chosc,they could
return to New York, but only fifteen
minutes were allowed them; and as
they were compelled to abandon their
baggage in cQSo they concluded TO 90
back, three hundred determined to pusI,
on.
They Wero taken to Granida, where
they wero detained month, norwilh-
standing that an epidemic was prevail
ing there. Here the most fearful dis.
ease commenced to rage among them.
Ia four weeks seventy nine of the three
hundred were cured. During tho tirno
they suffered every pIivNlion-many
were without means, and those who
had money were compelled to put up
with e%torliOu and robbery at every
band.
On tho Goth Of May in the evening
news reached Granada Of the arrival Of
aho Sierra Nevada, at San Juan del Sur
nd three hours werc given the survi-
wing passengers sick and well, 10 pet
on board the Lake steamer. At tho
time it was pouring rain and pitch dark.
rho sick were carried down in the best
manner possible, all getting thoroughly
dreuched. Upon roOching tho landing
of the Lake steamer, they were kept IN
the rain un,ill all had exhibited their
tickets, which detained them several
hours. Finally all woro crowded on
board but before morning three ortho
sick died, aud we're sent on shore.
On tho Lake steamer, the oceho is
described as having been dreadfnl. Tho
passengers wcro crowded together like
sheep in n pen. There was scarcely
room Cor the sick 10 lie down. For
nineteen hours they were thus Confined,
suffering every torture Of body and of
mind several poor wrctchos gave up
the ghost on tho boat and others died
while attempting the journey from tho
Lake to San Juan.
After they embarked TO tho Sierra
Nevada, tho sickness broke out again
and during the passage to San Juan to
this port thiny.throc deaths occurred
The suffering ON tho Sierra Nevada
beggers all description. Tho officers
OF tho steamer did all in their power TO
alleviate hoirsud'efings, but that wes lit

the dead, and tho body was hardly allow.
