his Money:
An cd man named Geo. Hauk, living
alone with his family in a small tenement
about one ui,e and half east Of Mar on, in
his county, and about five Mills from this
place, were found On Sunday last amid the
ruins of their dwelling, which had been cor
sumed during tie night. An inquest over
the remains Of tie boGies rcy.a alcd he horri-
bic fact that the old people were the victims
of most diabolical and cold bloodcd mur-
der. The old man was almost totally con-
sumed, but the upper pait Of the body Of his
wife was covered under large quantity of
brick from the chimney, which protected
that portion # her body from the fire. Her
throat was found to he cut, her chest cloven
open in two places with Sharp in >trt ment
and her skull broken in. An AK ard hatch
ct, with the handla burned off, were found
near the bodies, and there were evidences Cf
severe struggle. They were known to be
in pos session of considerable SUN of money
all of which the assassirs secured, tx:elt
about $3.50 which was concealed among tie
wheat in the loft in tin coiIeepot ard hich
remained covered up, and was Ircscrvcd.-
The perpetrators were doubtless aware that
these people had money, and after securing
itset the house on fire to destroy the eyidcn-
ces ofthe foul and -attrolious deed. Mr..
Hauk was German by birth, served seven
years in Bonapalte's army, was in Spain
under Marshel Ney, fought battles in lily,
and trav rsed the whole continent Of Europe
to Moscow as an infantry solder. lie was
abovt IS years ofage, and his wfe but
few years younger.

Cor MORE THAN THEY WANTED. The
following is attributed to the celebrated Row.
land Hill: 1.-TWO strangers passing the
church in which he was preaching, entered,
walked up the aisle, and finding no seat,
stood for while and listened to the sermon,
Presently they turned to walk out Before
they reached the door, the preacher said:
"But will tell you story" This arrested
the strangers, and they paused, turned
again and listened. Once there was man,
said the speaker, "who said that if he had
all the axes in the world made into one great
axe, and all the trees in the world were
made into one great tree, and he could
WELD the axe and cut down the tree, he
would make it into one great whip to thrash
those ungodly men who turn their backs up
on the Gospel and stop to hear story" The
strangers thought that they had heard
enough to satisfy their curiosity, and re,
sumed their walk to the street.
