1856. His parents were in comfortable circum-

was completed at Brown University, whence
lie graduated with honor in 1858. lie soon az

self mainly to politics, which were then begin
ming to be Of absorbing interest. Imbued with
the political faith Of Jefferson, he ardently sup
ported the policy Of which President Madison
and Governor Tompkius were the leading expo
nents. He ardently supported the Declaration
OF War against Great Britain, volunteered 10
serve in said war, and is said 10 have captured
British flag in some skirnlish Gu our Northern
frontier. We believe. however, that his services
IN council were deemed mo-s aluable than any
lie could render IN the field.

about forty years of age, has two children, owns
n farm and has kept house, with a Miss Regain
for house keeper William was q young man,
unmarried about twenty-four years old and lived
upon an adjoining farm with tho old folks
Philip, it appears, wanted to marry his house
keeper, but was refused. and as Miss Regain was
often at Williams, Philip became jealous Of him
and on the night before the 4th they had some
difficulty, at which time Philip made some
threats.
On the morning Of the 4th, about O'Clock,
William was milking his COW in the barn-yard,
and whiio thus engaged Philip stole across tho
field to the fence, took deliberate aim at hiE, at
about twenty feet distant. Old Mr.. Murphy hap
pened at that time to como out Of the house, and
saw Philip with his gun poised, but before ne
could give any warning, Philip fired thirty four
shot iuto the side of his brother, who arose and
fell. When his father reached him he said he
was dying. He fingered about three quarters Of
an hour and died
Philip afterwards shot at Miss Regain, and bis
own sister but did not hit them. Search has
been made for him, but up to this time he has
not been found.
An inquest was held, and q verdict of wilful
murder returned.
