The New York Albion, (the English organ

release of Mason and Slidcll, as ''the termina.
tion Of dispute that might have brought
about irreparable ills" In speaking of az
fairs in England it says:
- As to the great Anglo, American Difficult
ty, we gather from various sources that the
news Of the release Of Messrs Mason and
SlideIl will be hailed with unbounded salts
faction by the nation at large. Having so
often warned our readers against confpunding
the press with either the Government or the
people, we take no pains to anticipate its
course. Only this may be said: the Times,
which breaches solemn and mis- placed hom-
lily to the young Prince of Wales ere the re
mains of his father are cold. still maintains
its bad eminence in stirring up strife between
the United States and Great Britain. Its
neutrality is all on one side; and To say moth
ing of the fragrant vindictiveness and inns
tice of many of its remarks. they are in th-
worst conceivable taste. The Tunes will

Horrible Murder.

most horrible murder and destruction of
property has been committed lately in Cum
herland county. The following. taken from
the Carlisle Herald gives the particulars of
the affair."
The victims of this foul and atrocious deed
were John Berger, ian Industrious, un offend
ing old German, who lives near the South
Mountain, about a mile from what was form
erly Eyes Forge and William Grist. col
ored boy about ii or Is years Of age, who
lived with him. The deed was porpetrated
some time on Tuesday evening. and the first
indication of foul play was the discovery be
tween Q and 10 o'clock by by neighbor. that
the house small log one) occupied by this
German, was on fire. The aIarm WAS given
and several persons arrived. when the old man
was discovered lying on his back at the door
of small cave, short distance from the
house, in which he kept his provisions. cloth
ing and other articles. He was quite dead
having been shot through the head The ball
entered behind. and lodged just above the eve.
Ills IT r@ns were scattered over his cothes-
His gun, old L. s rifle was standing
close by, having been lately scharg-d.-
Among the ruins Of the house. (which was
entirely consumed, was found the burnt and
hiackened corpse Of the colOred boy, 80 much
disfgured as 10 render an attempt at investi.
gation impossible. The only possible incen
tive to this murder must have been robbery.
The old man attended our market regularly,
and was supposed to have some money -
Those acquainted with him say that he has
some $1,000 or $500 deposited in Baltimore
About SIS was found in the cave, locked
up in q trunk. Suspicion attaches to two
travelling Germans seen in that vicinity, ear
y in the evening, and party started in pur-
suit. Coroner Smith held an inquest on
Wednesday morning-verdict in accordance
with the facts. The Commissioners offer
reward Of 500 for the arrest and conviction
Of the murderers.

FIVE Cinnamon were carried away in their
cabins at Oregon Bar, in Placer county. The
Chinese hongs IN San Francisco have since
received letters from the interior of the State
to the effect that during the late freshst near
one thousand Cinnamon were washed off from
Long Bar and vicinity, on the Yula, and were
drowned. 1t appears that the poor fellows
remained in their cabins on the bar, as they
had dons duriag previous foods. until the

their escape impossible.

THE Poor HousE.-The Democrat nm
der wrong information probably, last week
cast some reflections on the Steward of the
Poor House in removing the man (Lam-
bert Myers who had been injured on the
railroad, by inuendo attributing his death
as much to the manner of his removal
which 1T says was in bungling manner
as to his injuries. The facts in the case
Will not warrant such N statement The
family with whom he had been lodged re-
fused to keep him any longer, and the Poor
House physician therefore directed his re-
moval-no hopes being entertained Of his
recovery, as he had been seriously injured
internally. The steward, his son. and Mr.
james Broom, after filing the spring wag
on with soft straw, and placing buffalo
robes, DC. on it, took the most gentle horse
on the farm, and proceeded to effect it.
The man was carefully carried out on robe,
placed IN the wagon, and taken to the Poor
House In such manner as could not have
endangered his life, as the weather was fine
aud the roads cd. These gentlemen are
we'll known for their humanity, and it is
certainly unjust to attribute his death even
remotely to them.
