THE DUNKIRK TRAGEDY.-Horrible Seeae.-
The telegraph announced, a day or two since,
the occurrence of the dreadful tragedy at Dun
kirk. The Journal of that village gives the
following particulars:
s'One of the most dreadful tragedies took
place in this village, on Friday night or ssatur-
day morning last, that ever occurred in this
county. For sometime past it has been known
10 the friends of the family that Martin South
er and wife did not lead q peaceable life
Souther kept German clearinghouse on
Buffalo street, between Front and Second
treets On the morning stated, his house was
observed to be closed as late Us half-past lU
O'Clock; this created suspicion that all was not
right, and on forcing the front door, and pass
ing into an upper bedroom, a dreadful sight
met the eye. Catherine, the wife, aged about
30, was an undressed corpse on the bed her head
in its position on the pillow, her threat cut
nearly ffom ear TO ear. On another bed in the
same room was the iifeless body of Catherine,
aged about five years, their only child. The
throat of the child was badly haggled, and
showed several cnts. while that of the other
had only one. BY the side of the bed where
the child lay, and near its foot. was the body Of
Martin Souther, the murderer and suicide, in
a Matchmaking position, with his own throat
cut.
"The three lifeless bodies, with the immense
Quantity of blood on the bedding and floor, in
which they weltered to the last moments of
life, presented a scene we'll calculated TO make
the mother and child, it is more than probable
that they died with hardly a struggle The
father must have walked the room after cut
ting his own throat, as the blood on the floor
showed /; and he MUST also have thrown the
razor with which the deed was done oh the
bed Of his wife, as II was found near her side.
vt is not known nj what hour of the night
the deed was committed, but sometime, proba-
