Horrible Murder in Canada.

HAMILTON, G. W.. January I1.--A
most atrocious murder was committed at
Poolville, four miles from here, last night.
Jared Comstock and his wife, aged over
seventy years, were the victims. Their
son was the murderer; he has been for
some time insane. At about eight clock
last evening he killed his father.by knock
ing him down with an axe, and his
mother was killed with skillet. He
then cut their hearts out, and cut one of
the bodies into pieces, and roasted the
other on the stove, eating portion Of it.
He intended to have killed his sister, but
fortunately, she escaped. The murderer
is in custody and has confessed the act.
