A Horrible Tragedy.

The Purdy Banner of the 2sth
furnishes the following particular
Of one Of the most horrible and at
rocious assassinations that eve,
stained tho annals Of McNair county;
On Sunday night, the 22j instant,
six miles South oil this place, a negro
boy, belonging TO Mr. John Erwin
entered the house OF his master, al
tho hour OF twelve O'clock, or there
abouts, and assaulted MIR. and Mrs.
Erwin, while they were asleep in
bed, and beat them over the head
with a cudael, in such manner as
to almost instantly kill Mrs. Erwin,
and but little hope is entertained ol
Mr.. Erwin's recovery.
There WAS intense excitement
manifested among those WIN assem-
bIcd OF the house where tho very
erevious affair occurred 4 and 80 over.
whelming was the evidence agains,
the negro boy, whose name is Hen
ry, that the excited popul,ce thought
strongly oil dealing summary with
the criminal, but tho mobbish passion
was allayed, and under a promise
that he should not be dealt with
until examined by tho authorities
Henry confessed his guiIt-said il
was his intention to kill his master,
Mr.. Erwin. but had no thought OF
injuring his mistress. Henry was
examined before committing Court,
aud ordered to Jail to await his trial
Tne negro boy gives no excuse for
his enormous cruelty aud grievous
crime.
There was q young lady sleepinp
in tho house at the time, in an nd
joining room TO that occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin. She was
aroused when the vile monster
commenced his heilish work Of as
sassination, and heard Mrs. Erwin
say it was Henry who was commit
ting the deed. In addition to this
the boy was searched Tor and found
in bed with his clothes ali on. -
Both Mr.. Erwin and his wife are
old and respectable citizens OF thi,
county.

MARVELLOUS PnENoMENoN. - The
Russian correspondent OF tho Lon

At Moscow a physical phenome-
non has been recently observed, such
as would have given rise to til ere
alton Of a whole cycle OF fantastic
myths in tho times OF the worlds
infancy. We learn from a para
graph in the lead ng paper of that
city that at a quarter past ten, on
the nishts Of the frat and aeconi OF
March, a star to the South West o.
the Great Bear. suddenly commen
cei to wax larger. assuming, at the
same time, the color OF iron ut rel
heat. but without the appearance o
any sparks or rays. In-this condi
tion ,hestar appeared until'half pas
eleven. varying in the intensity o
its light, and attaining the size near
lly Of the hal'.innon. A little befor
midnight the dimness began 10 in
crease, and at twelve o'clock tn
star had entirely disappeared. !,
its stead sort of black speck wa
to bs noticed by the light ofthe stars
which were unusually brilliant tbs

velocity apparently much greater
