fortunate publisher is principally indebted

Atrocious Murder.


A young man named G. Dana Fox,
was murdered near Highland, on Wednes-
day evening of last week. The follow
ing account of it we take from the Iowa
Point Dispatch:
G. Dana Fox, citizen Of this county,
was brutslly murdered on Wednesday last
while at work in the yard of his own res.
idence. He and his brother, both young
unmarried men, were living by themselves
on farm about six or seven miles west
of this place. in the vicinity Of Highland.
He had for some time previous been I'M
we'll, but had recovered sufficiently to be
able to be about, and his brother having
business which required attention away
from home, went to see to it, leaving G.
Dana Fox to attend to matters about the
house. The brother returned after dark,
but not finding Dana at home did not feel
uneasy, as it was probable he had gone to
another brothers who resided within q
mile. and who had Just returned from
Kickspoo whittier he had been on business
for Dana. In the morning it appears
that both brothers left their homes for the
others, and meeting about half way. in
quirsd for Dana. but neither one knowing
anything ABBOTT him. search was instigs-
ted, and his remains were found. Q short
distance from the house, mangled in 9
horrible manner.
1t is thought he was engaged at saving
hen first assailed, a. saw was found
sticking in board which was sawed into.
and being in g stopping posture. the 6end
undoubtedly fired at his head, but missing
aim, the ball entered the victims breast
and ranged downward. The skull was
broken, and several stabs inflicted on hil
person. 1t is supposed the murder was
committed for the purpose of robbery. as
it was known that be had money with
him at the time, and suspicion rests
strongly on person who was well &C.
quainted with his circumstances.
P: S. Since the above was written, we
understand that suspicious looking indi.
vidual was seen, Thursday morning. in
the neighborhood of where the tragedy
was enacted. His singular conduct was
remarked at the time, which fact has
induced several friends of the murdered
man to start in pursuit of him. He is
supposed to have gone to st. Joseph.
An Irishman has since been arrested
for the murder, and is probably guilty.
Fox had jumped his claim. and entered
it. and the Irishman had sworn ven.
geancs. He was to have had an exsmin.
alton. at Highland, on Monday, but the
result we have not learned.

One Of the humanitarian movements o,
our times, although little known as such,
can hardly be over estimated in its i'm.
portance upon the well being Of our wide,
ly scattered communities. The popula.
ton Of the American States is in many
sections so sparse that skillful Physician.
are hardly avilable to them. Vast num-
bers of our people are obliged to employ
in sickness such medical relief as they
can bear Of from each other, or indeed
any they can get from any quarter. Hence
arises the great consumption of Patent
Medicines among Us, greater by far than
in any of the old countries, where skill
ful physicians are accessible to all classes.
Unprincipled men have long svailed them
selves Of this necessity, to palm of their
worthless nostrums, until the word has
become synonymous with imposition and
cheat. One of our leading Chemists in
the East, DR.. Aver. is pursuing g course
which defeats this iniquity. He brings
not only his own, but the best skill oil
our times to bear, for the production Of
the best remedies which can be made
These are supplied to the world. in con-
venient form, at low prices. and the peo-
pie will no more buy poor medicines in
stead of good, at the same cost, than they
will bran instead Of -four. The insvita-
bic consequence Of this is, that the vile
compounds that food our country are dis
carded for those which honestly accom-
plish the end in veiw-which cure. Do
we over estimate its Importance, in be-
lieving that this prospect Of supplanting
the by-word medicines with those of &C.
tual worth and virtue, is fraught with i'm
menss consequence for good to the masses

MURDrn OF SENATOR BaoDERrck.-

MURDER OF SENATOR BRoDERIcK.-
Late advices from California, announce
ths murder Of Senator Broderick, BY
Judge Terry. in 8 duel-for it can be
called By no other name than murder.
The deed vas done to get him ont Of the
way. politically. His fearless opposition
10 the Iecompton Swindle. brought down
tAs hatred Of the Administration and its
cAmp.followers upon his head. He vim.
dicGted his course at home. where every
sxertion was made to draw him into g
quarrel. One challenge he declined.
and il was repeated BY another person.
II be had declined that. no doubt some
one else would have stepped forward with
another. He fought Terry with Terry's
own pistols. He had never before seen
thsm. and Terry was prscticed in their
use. They were set with hair triggers
and his was discharged prematurely
when Terry took deliberate aim, and sho
him.
The murder was done by Administers
ton pimps, and deserves to be made ar
Administration test. We shall now look
for the President to seek out and decapi.
tate every petty Postmaster who denoun.
ces the murder Of Broderick.
The vacancy in the Senate will now b.
filled BY some PrO-Slavery man, (perhap'

pose that Broderick was hunted dowr
and murdered. Perhaps the Admins
trstion would be grati6ed if the choice
should fall upon Judge Terry. Such &
selection would be appropriate. and q
compliment due alike to him and tbs
