When blood like rain was shed!

Where freedom fought and won,
And he who led to giory's bed
Was our own Washington!

That time cannot destroy,
And youth and age shall read the page
That tells Of fallen Troy
But proudly hung banner flung
Out DER the walls of Time,
There shines as bright in living light,

Who slept at Waterloo
Of those who lie meath midas sky,

A man named Hall and confederate went to
the house of Mr.. E. J. Hinton, at Carrollton, in
Green county, Illinois, on the 29th instant got
INTO a quarrel with him and murdered him. 1t
appears that Hall had been working for Mr..
Hinton, and was discharged. He was somewhat
intoxicated when he came to Mr. Hinton's houses
and perpetrated the deed with pistol, shooting
Mr.. linton in the abdomen. The murderer and
his confederate have been arrested This makes
the third murder that has taken place in Green
county within short time.
