SEDUCTION AND SUIClDE-We learn from the Cincin-
natl Enquirer that on last Wednesday, previous the
mail boat leaving this city gentleman and lady went
aboard, and the former engaged stateroom to Cincn-
matt, for himself and wife The female is described
young, go6dookng, and Of a ladylike appearance,
while her companion bore the outward resemblance of
gentleman. The boat arrived at Cincinnati early
next morning, and it that after the gentle
man went ashore nor did he return The passengers,
after the other left the boat until remained
but the young woman, who, in the meantime, made
frequent and anxious inquiries for her late companion
Time on, but he came not, and as busy prepare
tons was made for the return trip to Louisville, the
solitary female become an object of curiosity
And at length she too disappeared, she last
lingering upon the outerguard of the the ladies'
cabin it fcarully suggested by that she had
perhaps thrown herselfoyerboard and it said
that splash and deathsruggle had been heard in the
water The sequel to the sad tale, far the unfor-
tlneate woman is concerned developed on Monday.
Her body found floating the river the foot
of Sycamore street. and recognised as the passenger
upon the Louisville packet An inquest was held, and
verdict rendered that she her death as above
recorded From the circumstances surrounding the
case is inferred that she the victim of heartless
scOunsre who after he had seduced and lured her
from her home, basely deserted her

PePULAE FANArICIsM AGAINST THE JEws.-Authentic
Letters from Wilma which have reached the metropolis,
give detailed account Of an awful calamity which has
beaen the Jews Of whole district IN the government
of KownO The particulars these: Last January a
little peasant girl of the village OF Schawlan missed
Suddenly the report spread that the child had been
kidnapped BY the Jews III order to make OF its blood
in the passover ceremonies. judicial inquiry was at
once instituted the houses OF the neigboring jews
thoroughly searched bat no OF the girl could be
discovered. A month afterwards her body found
under mass Of snow which had begun to melt. The
village priest then preached in the church that the Jews
after having drawn the blood from the child had buried
the corpse in the The proprietor Of the estate
cuualing the priest in tanutics, made the
ton Excitement Of the ignorant peasantry against the
unfortunate Jews thus spread further daily and at last
grew to such intensity that il became really furious All
intercourse with the jews of the whole district cut
off and any jew that dared to show himself in the street
was assailed with hatchets.
Moreover the leading Jews Of Schawlan were at once
thrown into prison there await their trial murder
ers As is usual at such times of excitement, in
former who had witnessed all the proceedings Of the
alleged crime, was not wanting worthless individual,
jew BY birth and a thief by profession, who had just
been discharged from JAIL forward stating that he
way present when the jews slaughtered the girl and
caught up her bood and even named all the individuals
who participated in the atrocity.
When this terrible reached Wilma the capital of
the province the governor-gcnerai Aasimow, truly
humane and enlightened gentleman at once dispatched
Tolsteni, accompanied by intelligent Hebrew,
to the spot in order to inquire into the subject, aud
there can be no doubt but that the Russian authorities
Will thoroughly sft the matter But the course Of ins-
ce is naturally slow, the conspiracy against the Jews
widespread and the rage of the peasants ungovernabe
The suerngs of the Jews at this moment from popular
fanatcism are truly awful Nothing but the prompt and
efficient protection of the government can save them
from impending destruction

HORRIBLE MURDER OF a Enthusiastically evening
last May ISth VIM. Mace farmer residing in Greene
county, near the Scott county line, and not far from
Glasgow was found in his door yard together with
his wife and a bound boy aged about thirteen years,
horrible mutilated while the house was in flames
The circumstances, as reported to us by ncighbor
who has been residing near the scene of the tragedy
are as follows
Mr. Maces family consisted, besides himself of his
wife and lite bound boy and it generally unler-
stood that he had money in the house On the evening
in question about dusk family residing half mile
distant heard gun fire Mace's and the scream of
woman calling murder Some gentlemen passing in
buggies few minutes after informed of the sus-
picious noise heard and they drove round by Mace's
house for the purpose Of ascertanng what was the
ter. When they reached the house they found smoke
issuing from the windows, and the house on fire
The fire soon burst through the roof, revealing the
mutated bodies Of the murdered family, lying in the
dooryard The man was shot through the left breast
with shot gun the muzze having been so close at the
moment of discharge his clothes on fire and
circle of the clothing mad been burned around the
wound until the fire extinguished by the flow OF
blood The charge where it entered the breast, had
made large 0rfce and the lights proruding in
manged condition His skull had been crushed in on
the forehead b+ blow of the gun the lock having sunk
into the brain, and the back of the head also raG-
tured, He appears to have staggered several PAGES
from where he was shot until he fell.
The woman had been struck with an az on the side
of the head the weapon serverng the and sinking
into the BRAIN the neck bone also through and
the bead nearly severed from the hody.
The boy had been killed with club which was
found by, the top Of his head having been
pletey smashed off and the mangled brains protruding
The parties who discovered the murder were proba-
bly, the ground within twenty minutes after the foul
deed was consumated. Some broken fragments OF a
shot gun, including ranlrod were found in the yard
and nciGhbor subsequently, recognised the ramrod
belonging gun owned BY him, which he had loaned
to young man in the nighborhood. This caused sus-
picon to rest three young in the neigboorhood
two of whom learn have been arrested but the third
absconded An authoritative examination will doubt
less throw additional light upon this horrible af
fair. tdJackosnville an Sentinel

Of caution, which think well adapted to every sec

In all probability Arkansas will soon be the scene
of war; and her exposed frontier and important posi-
ton will demand strong defence. We would advise
those whose ardor and chiyaky would prompt them tc
reflect that Arkansas will need all her valiant son:
in her own borders, and perhaps Stay at home

Southern Confedeacy-for it il duty to homes

PREPARE FOR HARD TIMEs.-The following article we
find going the rounds unaccredited. As it contains
timely warning and excellent counsel to our people we
endorse and present it to our readers:
We are, in all probability, upon the verge of gener-
al and protaced between the north and the south
in which the utmost strength of both sections will be
tested. In war, business will be utterly Frustrated
money will be scarce, and times will be hard We feel
it to be duty the southern people of this
highly probably state of things in time There should
be universal preparation for it. No money should be
uselessly spent There will be no difficulty in the south
on the score courage and fighting men But our army
must be provided with subsistence; the families of the
soldiers must be maintained in their ABSENCE if they be
poor and the people who stay home must live Under
such circumstances, any extravaganza or unnecessary
expenditure of money would be criminal Every family
should be put upona footing, in the nancialas well
military sense And it is too late even now to
plant corn Every additional acre of corn that can now
be put in will be an additional bulwark for the sup.
port of southern patriotism, southern homes and south
ern honor. Now is the time for patriotic sedenal on
the part of those who have hitherto enoyed ease and
the Injuries of life Now is the time for the patriotism
of our southern women to manifest itself We cannot
all fight but we all be economical and husband the
resources Of the country While our brave bows are
enduring the hardshps eff the camp and are cheerfuy
