The boy that up stairs, and who had such narrow
chance for his fe also child Of Mrs Waters by her
former husband, and he smart, intelligent young lad,
often years old his well planned and fortunate escape
fully proves.
CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY.
The cause of this awful affair perfect mystery TO all
with whom we have conversed onhe subject They al
ege, however, that Mrs Waters very much attached
10 her daughter and her husband and that she possessed
good deal Of property since the death Of her nrst hus
band She very liberal with her daughter, and Is
supposed that her husband noticing many material proofs
Of this beraly in the shape Of presents, imagined that
he the chief of her and Affections and
rejecting upon this, perhaps fearing that she might
finally be led to settle all her property on her
he the manaca conclusion of avenging himself IN
the heart rending in which he barbarousy muir
dered his wife, his friend and himself and attempted al
most successfully in instance TO destroy the lives Of
two others.
II is plain from the facts which have related, that
Waters whether acting upon premedation not enter
ed the breakfast while his three victims par
taking of their mornings meal, with iron bar in his
hand that he probably commenced assault first on Mr..
Sturdevant by striking him the head with the deadly
weapon his hand and that after despatching him, no
attempted the lives of the other two His wife proba
bly, the second person upon whom the terrible weapon
descended and before he had finished her to
devant, who being young and active woman,
and doubtless of considerable had deter
mined either to endeavor TO effect her escape which
is the probability it possible that she might have
made effort to the life of the second victim by
nterpositon of her efforts That the other,
perhaps both of these attempted the fact Of her
lying outside the house, in the state in which she
found, leaves to doubt and is also probable
that the wound in her head the last blow in
iicted her. This Waters, if he capable of think
ing anything at that moment, supposed, probably,
that he had rendered her incapable of living,
and left her where she found by the villagers,
unable TO throw any light upon the subject, and
what of more importance in state that almost void
of hope. The lighter blows to have been those in
icted by Waters while the lady struggling with him.
and the final and dangerous appears have had the
effect of terminating the unequal and brutal struggle by
telling Mrs Sturdevant where she lay.
The boy, who up stairs, almost miraculously
caped and the tragedy brought to terrible conclu
sion by the suicide of Waters himself his barn. When
Mrs Sturdevant recovers, we sincerely hope she WILL
everything connected with the affair will be brought
light and in the meantime will endeavor to learn what
else we can about the melancholy matter.

nearly five hundred distinct mechanical process

This is cut up from bars into pieces of ten
pounds weight and fourteen inches in length,
which, after being drawn to forty inches un-
der a nearly white heat, is curved and welded
on steel rods. Each barrel is then bored out
and reduced in weight from ten pounds to four

Legislature between Mcssrs. barnes and Reid,
on resolution as to the practicabiIity ofslavery

before you fought the battle of Ossawatomie."
Mr.. Reid rose, and Mr.. barnes facing the
Speaker continued his remarks.
Mr.. Darnes-"Your powder has no terror for
me, am contending for principal"
At this moment Mr.. Reid had stepped to the
right hand side of Mr.. barnes. He laid his left
hand upnn his shoulder, and drawing off with
his right, struck him (DarnesJ heavy blow on
the right cheek, covering the check bone and
knocking him down. Reid then returned to
his seat.
Mr.. barnes, having recovered somewhat from
the effects of the blow, said 81 say, sir, that no
man but acowardly assassin would step up behind
a gentlenan's back and strike him."
Mr.. Hill, of st. Louis-''I move that this

stepped forward again, when Mr.. barnes raised
a.stumbler with the evident intention of throwing
it at him.
Mr.. Reid then drew knife, when Mr. Allen,
of Warren, aud several other gentlemen, step
ded in front of Mr.. Reid, and he retired to his
seat
Mr.. barnes was also prevented from throwing
