HoRRBLE AND BRUTAL AFFAIR Three Hen Nur-
dered an Cold Biood.-Early Yesterday morning the
citizens of Jefferson county thrown into n
state OF excitement by the news that three broth
ans. 1t appears that three brothers named VIM
Hill, Jesse Hill and Russell Hill, who reside FIVE
miles out on the Nashville railroad, were attacked
at their residences this morning about O'Clock bv
a gang OF rnwdies, headed by Jim Walker and jeff
Rodgers. William He'll was asleep in the bed with
his wife when the fatal wound vas inflicted, and
so close was the gun placed to the bed that the
powder burned the hand OF his wife. Jesse Hill,
who resided in the same house, also shot in the
neck and back, causing immediate DEATH The
party then went to the house of Russell Hill, some
two and half miles from the place where the 9TH
eT two were murdered, and while their hands were
still wet with the blood of their other victims and
there, without cause or provocation, shot Russell
dead in his own house. 1t will be remembered
that these same parties, not long since, had diff
Guilty at Sulphur Well, in which the Walkers were
concerned. Late last night Chief Ray arrested a
man charged with being connected with the affair,
but we were unable to learn his name. The police
are on the alert for the balance of the party con-
nected with this bloody affair." and will probably
capture them to-day.-LouisriUe Courier, Jan. ?.
The MISSING BONDS Five thousand dollars
worth Of the missing State bonds have turned up
in this city, and are in the hands of a wealthy gen
tlemen, who purchased them in New York two
years ago. They are North Carolina bonds, and
the number correspond with those that have been
advertised.
From the above it would appear that these bonds
were distracted from the Department of the Inte-
rior two years ago, and it is, to say the least,
singular they have not been missed before The
gentleman who holds them has not been out of the
city that we know of, but the bonds were purchased
by his agent in New York.-NorfolE Day Book.

Mrs. MAJOR ANDEKsON.-The New York Herald,
of yesterday, says:
Mrs. Major Anderson is, as we have before an
nounced, spending the winter at the Brevoort
House, and on New Years day hundreds of the
leading citizens of New York. irrespective of
party, called upon her to testify their sympathy
with her husband and their appreciation OF his CON
duct. Mrs. Anderson was too unwe to receive
calls, however, but during the afternoon visited
Mrs. Colonel Scott. Major Anderson's youngest
son, boy of about twenty-o months old attract
ed much attention by his dress, which was an exact
fac-simile OF that worn by his father at Fort Sum-
ter.
The Philadelphians are having sword made to
be presented to Major Anderson.
