Death of Brooks.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.

w AShlNGlON, cetus ECs
Preston s. Brooks was at the levee Of
the President, on the evening of the 10th
of January. Itwas bitter cold, with a
piercing wind, and Mr.. Brooks, with a lady
on his arm, accompanied by his friend Mr..
Keitt, arrived at the portal of the White
House, waiting, after the gaities Of the le-
wee, for the coming up of respective car
riages. Mr. Keitt had taken good care OF
himself. His head was enveloped in fur
hunting cap, wild looking affair, and Mr..
Brooks jocularly remarked, that "the cap
was hardly ceditable to his, Mr.. KS TASTE y
Mr.. Keitt returned, for reply, that "all
there might be highly amused at the cap,
but that all would wish they had such,
when they reached the out of door wind .
GAS for my friend Mr.. Brooks" continued
Mr.. Keitt, che knows that l bring q cap
here, that no one will pick up-he, on the
contrary, comes in an old hat, as an apollo
gy for going away with a. better" Mr..
Brooks laughed hartily at the joke. Mr..
Keitt was the wisest of the two members
-he was prepared for the change of tenn
perature; Mr.. Brooks was not The latter
took severe cold, and to-day Congress has
to adjourn, because of this gentleman's
demise.
This sudden demise is a very melancholy
occurrence. 1t is greatly to be regretted
he had no opportunity to approach Sena-
tor Sumner in way that might have tend
ed to promote an agreeable exchange of
generous sentiment. 1t was manitesty
plain to one ever observant of personal de-
meanor, that after the first three or four
days of the present session of Congress, a
decided change was TO be noticed in the as
pect of Mr.. B. He imagined at first he
would bravely hold up under his peculiar
postion-it was too much for better nature
He felt his position acutely, and he became
seriously thoughtful when in his seat of
the House of Representatives. Had Mr..
Sumner been in Washington, Mr.. B. would
probably have approached him in such way
as would have obliterated the untoward oc-
currence which happened in the Senate
Chamber in the past year.

MURDER SUSPECTED, AND WHOLE
FAMILY ARREsrED.-On Monday Justice
Chase issued warrants for the arrest of a
family named Milligan, living near Browns
town, in this county, on suspicion that they
had murdered Jew pedler named Kidder,
for his money and goods. The authorities
were informed that the pedlar had been
seen going into the house of Milligan, and
had not been seen or heard of since. HUI
man bones, masses of hair, and numerous
blood-stains were found in and about the
premises, which, together with other cir
cumstances, seemed to warrant an inves-
tigation of the matter. A brother of the
missing pedler deposes that his brother
agreed to meet him in this city last week,
but failed to do so.
Officers proceeded to the house of Mil
ligan on Monday, where they found the
father Of the family sick, and unable to be
removed. The remainder of the family,
consisting Of the mother, two daughters,
and boy, were arrested and brought to
this city yesterday and are now in jail
They give un satisfactory accounts of the
blood-stains on the ceiling, walls, and
floor of the house, telling conflicting sto-
ries; and it is said they stand in rather bad
repute in the neighborhood.- Detroit Adr.

AT the Quincy school, Boston, the we'll
