MuRDRR IN DEcArUR TowNsHTF.- The
Athens Messenger of yesterday, gives An
account Of the suspected murder 4of . Mr..
Burke, who bad been engaged in selling
goods at the cross roads in Decatur. He
was found dead by the roadside not far
from his home, and it was supposed his
deathwas caused by fall upon the ground.
He was buried under that belief. Upon
examination Of his affairs the Parkers-
burgk Bank--from,.a visit to which place
he had not returned at the time OF his
death--it' was discovered that he had
drawn some six hundred dollars in cash, at
his last visit there, only about one hum
dfed of which was found upon his person.
This discovery caused an inquiry into the
probable cause Of his death, and his
friends exhumed the body now some days
buried, and an inquest was held. Dr.A.
B. Monahon.r Of Coolville, in Athens
county, and other medical menswere called,
and the result was a verdict that death had
been caused by blow struck by some per-
son with ''sluhg-shot," and by twisting
the neck half round $50 as to disIocate the
Joint! At our latest advicesI no positive
clue had been obtained to the perpetrators
Of the crime. Suspicion points out tvs
men, who have since been unusually

AN IMPORTANT BILI.-Mr. Van vorhes
has introduced in the House bill for the
settlement of estates Of deceased persons
which codities the whole law on that sub
ject. The statutes now in force are con-

sections Of acts, and acts amendatory, and
further to amend, and supplementary to,
acts further to amend, and SO forth,
through the catalogue Of statutory nomen-
clature. ~, So.
The bill proposed by Mr.. Van vorhes
makes few changes in the matter OF pre-
vious laws on the distribution Of estates
so Ear as the principles and working are
concerned. 1t seems to be the intention
of the bill to consolidate or 'codify. laws
now in force rather than experiment with
new principles. AS before stated, the
present laws are contained in number Of
enactinents, numbering two hundred and
seventy-6ve sections in all, This matter

murdered the little girl Byrant, was in

states that he was willing and told Bryant

but when some "outsiders'' came to de-

first. He believes his boy guilty, and
thinks he should be hung. The boy con :

would show any justification he would be

The capitalization Of the Chinese
Sugar Cane syrup.


The experiments thus Tar. with one sx-
ception, in the Northern and Western
States, to crystalize the molasses obtained
from the Chinese Sugar Cane, have proven
to be failure, and the culture will prob
ably be partially abandoned till it is gen.
orally known that it has resulted in perfect
success. The gentleman referred to as
having crystalized it. is a Mr.. Lowering.
of Oakhill, Philadelphia Co., Pa, who
has published small treatise on the mode
of crystalizing it. We take the following
in relation to it from the N. Y. EBAY
Book" paper which is devoted to the
interests of the Southern planter, and can
be considered reliable on this point: -
On the goth of September thirty canes
were cut and passed three times through
the rollers; at this date the seeds of the
cane were still quite milky, and to the ex-
tent of one quarter only, had changed to
dark brown, the balance were quite green.
Six or eight of the lower joints of the
cane were ground, which yielded three
and one-half gallons of juice; milk of lime
was introduced to neutralize the acid, and
it was boiled down to 24O deg, F.. This
was the first experiment; and did not seem
to promise very we'll; the product was q
thick, dark mass, and stood six days with
out a crystal, but, being placed over fire
and kept warm four days, "a crop of crys-
tals" resulted. Seven experiments were
made altogether, from the date Of the frs,
to that Of November ~, for the details oi
which we must refer, the reader to tht
pamphlet. In every particular they wers
completely successful, producing an arti
