COLUMBUS CRY. - While on a visit to
Columbus City, this week, we noticed quite
a spirit of improvement in the way Of
churches. The Methodists are making
arrangements for erecting brick edi6ce, 80
by so feet on a piece of ground comprising
two well-located lots donated to the Church
by citizen OF the place who is not mem.
Der. They have also received liberal sub
scriptions generally. The Baptists have
already commenced building of nearly the
same size, and the United Brethren ere also
erecting a house of worship. With two
churches already in the place, the people of
Columbus City will certainly be well accom-
mocated with church privileges.
Hoe STEALING. "A search. warrant was
issued by Justice Davis, Monday, on afr

they heard gun fred Sunday morning, and
afterwards found the carcass Of hog con.
cealed in the brush, which they watched till
dark, when man took it away in wheel
barrow. The next morning the wheelbarrow
was tracked to Hines house. He had skim
ned the hog and cut it up into small pieces,

On the charge Of shooting and stealing the

A TERRIBLE TRAaEDY.-We have just
learned the principal facts of most shock
ing murder which occurred in Almont, on
Thursday, resulting in the death of one
Truman Bates, at the hand of his own
brother, Goodwin. It appears that the two
brothers got into dispute some days since,
which assumed such Importance that they
ceased recognizing each other on last Sab.
bath, since which time they have not inter-
changed single word. On Thursday
Goodwin secreted himself behind thicket
Of shrubbery in the yard fronting his
mothers house. Here be lay in wait until
Truman made his appearance, when be shot
him through the body, the ball passing
through one of his arms and his body.
Truman turned, exclaimipg to his mother,
" l am dead man." when Goodwin follow
ed him into the house, and, putting the
pistol to bis head, shot him dead. These
are the main facts; but our informant
could not tell us whether or not Goodwin
had been arrested.-Detroit Free Press,
