Two Women Murdered near Lancas.er.

The Lancaster Inland, Of the 10th, says
We learn that about noon to-day, two most
atrocious and cold blooded murders were COM
nitted in Mannheim township, about four miles
north of this city, near place called Noodle
loosy, on cross read. leading from the LIT
IL turnpike to the Mannheim plank road, The
persons murdered are Mrs. CARRIER, wife Of
Conrad CARRIER, and her mother, who was on
a visit to her daughter. The awful deed is
supposed to have been committed by two men
who travel The country as chimney sweeps ::
who are represented as colcred men.
Men answering this description we're seen
to 30 int" the house before noon, and about
noon the bodies of the women were found, u
ing in pools of blood on the floor, with their
throats cut. Mr. CARRIER was from home when
the deed vas done and on his return was pre-
sented with the awful spectacle.
On hearing Of the murder, We dispatched a
reporter TO the place, and expect TO be able 10
! give full anb reliable particulars in our NOR
/ ming issue.
/ Since the abeve was written, two men have
been ar ested and brought before the Mayor
on suspicion Of being the murderers. They
were followed through the streets by an i'm
mense throng. and the Mayors Office WAS i'm
mediately SO crowded as to prevent the ad-
mission of Reporter; but We learned that
after a brief examination. they were commit
ted to prison for a re-hcaring to be held on
Saturday morning next.
The names Of the two men arrested for the
murder are William Richards and Alexander
Aucerson, one a dark and the other Iisht
mulatto They were arrested by officers Ba,
ker, Huf'naele and Khuns.
About 500 in gold is said to have beer
taken from the house where the murder, was
committed, aud $50 80 were found on tht
persons Of these men. Samuel s. Geist. cor

DoUGLAs ON TIE SENATE FLooR.-The
Washington correspondent of the I1depcndeat
gives the following vivid description of the
Little Giant" when under full headway:
He is very short in stature, but of such
physical proportions, aside from this lack, as
instantly to attract the attentions of strap-
ger. \ very large head, connected with broad
and powerfully built shoulders by short,
ful! neck; chest sufficiently roony to con-
tain the lungs Of giant, and pair of short
dumpy legs, complete the physical picture OF
the Little Giant" if We except the broad
lofty Websterian brow, aud the deep set, ca
vernous eyes, that sparkle and glow, when
excited, like miners lamps beneath it. It is
the tremendous brain-powcr, lodged in that
perpendicular precipice Of u forehead, and
shooting out It's fires from lis shadowed eyes,
that has given him the sobriquet which be will
carry to his grave. When excited and in
full flow of debate, that massive head rolls
and shakes with the emphasis of his thought,
and the huge hand doubles until tho nails in
dent the palm, or else the broad, open hand
receives the blow of its mate, and italicises
the sentence with stunning report. The
sweat pours from him profusely, and falls
from his head, or is thrown clear of the shout
ders by those inincal shakes of the head, a,
the raIn-drops are shaken from the trees by;

black hair, and restless, uneasy feeling

The Great English MLllicrare

The vanity of riches IS seldom illustrated
50 strikingly as il the case Of the great En-
gIish millionaire, Morrison, who died recent
ly worth $50, ,000,00 1t seems 10 be one

PANIC IN \ SCHOOL RooM.--In one Of the
Philadelphia schools lately, one Of the scholars
threw lighted piece Of paper on the floor and
cried Fire in q joke. which almost proved a
serious one. Tie scholars became pan;c-stricken
and for few moments the greatest and most IN
tense excitement prevailed among them. The
teachers behaved themselves with remarkable
presence of mind, and in a short period a calm
succeeded the storm. The shreks and screams
ard supplications of the little ones, whose hearts
were beating at a pa rate, arc described as hav-
ing been thrilling in the extreme. BY some means
or other the news got out of doors, and the feel
ing Of fond and anxious parents may be imagined
we'll as described. This is the same school
house where the children became panic stricken,
from almost the same cause, few years since,
which resulted in the death of one or two schol-
ars and the manning Of others for life.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATu.-A hcartrend-
ing case occurred Oh Locust street in this
borough, about o'clock on Monday evening
A very beautiful and interesting little child
aged about years, daughter Of Mr. a j.
Hite, was SO shochingly burned by its clothes
catching fire rs to cause its death on Tuesday
morning. As ne have been informed, its
mother had put it to bed. and stepped into a
ncighbor's house, leaving candle burning
on a chair, and during her absence the child
got out Of bed and was amusing itself with
the candle, from which It's clothes took fire
The cries of the child were heard for several
minutes before It's PeriIoUs condition was dis
covered Its mother, We believe, was the
first to enter the house, when she found the
flames consuming it in the b:i to which the
poor little thing in is frenzy had returned.
It is the most heartrending occurrence that
has taken place in our borough for years, and
the bereaved and afflicted parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of all cur citizens The
! child was exceedingly beautiful and prcco-
cious, and VAS a universal favorite in the
! locality in which its parents reside,-Echo.
