1t appears that Gallatin county, in
Illinois, has been the scene of a terri
bic tragedy. the perpetrators Of which
have just been brought to light. We
learn the particulars from the Shaw
neetown Southern Winoisan. On the
night of the 22d of July last, house

names we have given stand committed
for trial. The evidence against them
is very strong.
In an afray at Mishawaka, near
South Bend, Indiana, a man named
Henry Kelly, who was trying to get

was strabbed to death. We have not
heard tho murderer's name.
Four young Spsnisrds were arrested

Campbell county, in that State, some

shot the sheriff and two other men
dead before he was taken.
