A HORRIBLE TTAGEDT occurred on the 29ih
June some five miles from Whiteville, Colum-
bus county, North Carolina. Joshua Rouse,
who was evidently insane, killed his father,
his wife, and two of his children. His eldest
son escaped and alarmed the neighbors, who
arrested him, having an axe in his hand, in
pursuit of his son, whom he said he wanted to
kill also. The lad says that his father killed
the old man out in the yard with stick and
then with the axe chopped off his head. He
took the old mans knife, and with that killed
his own wife, and cut off her head. The chill
dren he killed with the axe and chopped off
their heads. at Whiteville, when being car
ried to Jail, Rouse said he had killed his wife
because she had tried to cut his throat two
years ago, and his father because he had whipt
him severely when boy. He had been in the
insane asy lum for eighteen months preceding
the affair, with the exception of the last three
or four weeks. We hardly see how or why he
was set loose.
