Shocking Murder.

We are indebted to some unknown
friend for a copy Of the oswego Daily
Times, which brings Us the shocking
intelligence of the murder Of EDWIN
q. Sow1Es, which occurred on the
Mississippi river, near Cairo few
weeks since. He was on his way to
sAn interior town in Tennessee, where
Aae intended to open an architect and
builders shop, and on his way thith'
%er was robbed by some river pirates
rof several hundred dollars, who after
wards broke his skull and threw him
overheard.
Mr.. SowLEs was near relative OF
ours first cousin), and was an hon
orable, high-minded and much-es-
teemed gentleman, respected by all
who knew him. He leaves a young
wife, two small children, and hosts
of afflicted friends to mourn his de-
plorable enc. The bereaved family
have our warmest sympathy.

Personal.

We had the pleasure of meeting
our friend Capt. MONTGOMERY, as he
passed through our town on his way
toLawrence, few evenings since
He was in good health and spirits,
and reports all peaceable, with per-
manent prospect Of its continuance.
Col. Titus and gang, has, it is be-
lieved, left the Territory, and In al
probability is now at Fort Smith, on
the Arkansas River, where it is un-
derstood he is to be joined by the
Hamiltons, Brockett, and their con-
fcderates.
The gallant Colonel has given up
Kanzas at last, and is now aiming for
Arizona, with the hopes Of success
in that region. However, he may
find unexpected stumbling blocks in
his way, even in that far off Territory.

Caving.

The recent foods have been play
ing the very mischief with some Of
our "city" property. The front
end of the building erected by Major
SHORE for a hotel is giving away,
owing to the immense pressure and
washing ofwater in its efforts to find
a retreat in the basement. The
building is two stories in height,
clear Of the basement, constructed Of
stone, and cost $1,000. From pres
cnt appearances the entire front will
soon cave in, and perhaps the whole
building will prove a-llass. At least,
