DEATH FROM NEGLECT AND CRUEL TREAT
MENT.-COnsiderab excitement was occa-
stoned in the neighborhood Of the village OF
Accotink, by the death of free colored boy,
by the name of Andrew Bell, on Sunday
night, as it was believed his death resulted
indirectly from exposure and cruel treatment
received at the hands of Elias and Thomas
Grimsley, long boatmen, by whom the boy
was employed. 1t appeared in testimony
that these men had repeatedly beat the boy
and otherwise mal-treated him while be was
sick aboard their boat. An inquest was held
by Coroner Burke, and the jury rendered the
following verdict: THAT he came to bis death
by pneumonia, which was rendered fatal IN
bis case in all probability by the neglect, ex-
posture and cruel treatment, received at the
hands of Elias and Thomas Grimsley, by
whom be was employed"

YET ANorHEp MURDER IN WASHINGTON
A cold-boJded murder was yesterday after
noon added to the metropolitan chronicle of
crime. MIR. Thos Berry, the victim, called
at the house Of his wife's mother, ION Penn
syvania avenue, between Let and II streets
east,) to visit his wife, aud to change his
clothes. While there he was attacked BY
two Messrs. Devlin, (brothers Of his wile,l
and third person whose name is unknown,
and was cruelty murdered. The brothers
Dsyln Werc arrested, and, after examination
before Justice G)ddard, were committed to
Jail. The testimony was full and conclusive.
1t appears from the evidence, that Mr.
Berry, about two years since, seduced the
sister OF the Dev!in'r, but afterwards married
her and removed to O1iu. He returned to
this vicinity few weeks since, and had COM
menced getting up a business directory Of
Washington. The DeV!ns have never for
given him the wrong done their sister and
have often threatened that they would sooner
or later be revenged upon him. They had
also warned him never to como near their
mothers house.
When they found him there yesterday az
terpoon, they at once attacked him. He re-
treated iuto the yard, and they followed him,
accom- panied by another man. The elder
brother (JoOn I. Devlln) caught him, threw
him down, sod held him fast until the young
er Que struck several fatal blows with dirk.
knife al his heart, causing almost instant
death The affair caused great excitement
on Capitol Hill, and it WAS at one time
thought that Judge Lynch would open his
court for the summary punishment of the
