:. FEARFUL TRAGEDY.--A fearful tragedy
occurred last Sunday at lonely farm house
three miles from Versailles, Riply county,
Indiana. The premises were occupied by a
farmer named John Windsor. his wife and
son, the latter agl IA years 1t seems
that the maa and woman lived unhappily
together, and their frequent violent altcrca-
tions were subject of comment TO the
reighborhood:
On the afternoon Of Sunday, their dauch-
ter. who had been upon visit to a neigh
boring acquaintance with whom she remain
ed several days, returned home, and enter
ing the house was paralyzed by sight of
such intense horror as almost to deprive her
of reason. Extended upon the floor. well
tering in their blood, lay the bodies of her
parents and her brother The man was w.
ing upon his face near the hearth with his
head nearly severed frcm his shoulders; the
body of the boy lay in another part of tho
room with several murderoi,s cuts in his
head, and close by the bloody weapon,
sharp axe, with which this double deed Of
horror had been consummated. In the
kitchen, adjoining, was the body of the
wretched woman, her throat severed from
ear to ear, and large butchers knife, with
which she had taken her life, still claspedir
her hand
It's conjectured that while the husband
was in the act Of kin1ling fire upon the
hearth his wife seized the axe and dealt him
the fatal blow which nearly severed the head
from the body, and then turning upon her
sen who, from being in his night clothes.
had evidently in alarm just arisen from his
bed, she dispatched him with the same wea-
pom, after which she rushed into the next
apartment and concluded the tragedy by the
sacrifice of her own life.
The poor girl, who is the sole survivor of
the Inflated family, has received so severe a
shock from the scene which was so unexp &C.
tedly revealed to her, that she has ever since
been bordering upon insanity.
