4 HorrM Crime-We are informed that the
people of the North eastern section of district
known as the "Wild Cat'' region, are greatly e1
cited in consequence of the we'll grounded belief
of q murder having been perpetrated in that SEQ
ton few days since, which in point of brutality
challenges the most diabolical instances of atroci
ty known to the annals Of crime The victim was
young girl, about thirteen years of age, the
daughter Of Alvin Massey. She died suddenly
on Thursday night, and under circumstances
plainly indicating that she was poisoned. sus
picion rests upon Dan, a slave Of the said Massey,
es having administered the poison. His motive
for so doing, it is said was to screen himself from
the consequences of an intimacy which had for
some time subsisted between him and this girl,
the criminal character of which must in the
course of nature have been revealed in few
months. We forbear to mention further details
of this outrageous affair until legal investisa.
ton has been had. Warrants have been issued
for the arrest of Dan, and also for Sal, who is IN
some way connected with the affair, but up to
this time, we have not heard that they have been
rehended.-Laneaster Ledger.
