The Washington correspondent Of the

paper, says:
Washington, during the msnth past,
has been visited by severity Of weather
unknown to the eldest inhs bitaat For
years past the ice Consumers have been
dependent apon more nsrtherly latitudes
fer supply Of the crystal. All that will
be needed here the coming season will be
lifted frsn the bosom Of the frszen Pe-
temac. In consequences Of the thick ice,
all navigation has been suspended, and
the three cities Of Washington, George
town and Alexandria, with their hun-
dred and fifty thousand people, are de-.
pendent sslsly upon the single line Of
railway to Baltimore fer all their supplies.
The result is an enormous increase in the
price Of the nscessaries of life These
cities are filed and erammea, in meek and
corner, with Thousands Of peer whites
and still pssrsr blacks. The latter esps-

Many have starved to death, and the

something toward alleviating this dds

Horrible MuRdeF-A man
KILLED Hfs FATHER, MOTHER
AND WIFE.

One Of the most cold- blsodsd, heart
less murders which ue have ever been
called upon to record, occurred at wood
stock, Michigan, niue miles sroa Hudson,
on Menday night last. The nam OF tho
murderer is David E. Bivins. He was
formerly in the Array; but becoming
weary of service deserted, aud instead OF
returning to his fathers, where his wife
was living, took aP his abode at Grafton,
in the State. Since his return, he be-
came enamered Of a young lady at Graf
toa, and knewing that he could not mar
ry her while his wife lived, he resolved
upon numbering the latter, and to secure
his fathers property determined to de
stroy the entire household. he states
that three times he visited his father 3
residences fer the purpose Of carrying out
mis- murdersus intentions, but on each
occasion his heart failed hin,.
On Monday last be went there again,
aud, as the sequel shows, consummated
the hellish deed. He passed through this
city in the afternoon OF that day, and ar
irving at Hudson, hired horse and bug
gy to gs to W oodstsck. Arriving at his
ldtACi uO biOu uiS hVloO uoNCA . shSA,
entered the dwelling, and drawing re-
yslver presented it at his father; the cap
snapped; he cooked the pistol again, and,
taking aim, shet the old gentleman
through the head. He then shot his
mother, who was sitting in chair. By
this time, his wife stepped up to him and
plead that he weald net kill Aer, and he
says she caught hold of the weapon
Determined sn accomplishing his purpose,
he sndeavsred to wrench the wsipsn frsu
her grasp, but she succeeded in getting
it from him. A souffie snsued, which
ended in his recovering the weapon and
shooting her through the heart. Hs
then set fire to the premises, got into his
buggy, and started on his return to Graf
ten. On leaving the place, he neglected
to take a robe and strap which accom-
panied the horse and buggy, and these
articles LED to his detection.
Yesterday morning, couple of sfhcer'
of Kenawee County, having satisfied
themselves that Bivins was the criminal
went to Grafton, and finding the young
man informed him that his parents ant
wife had been murdered. Bivins is re
ported to have exclaimed: my Gsdl VIII,
killed them 2" fsiguing surprise. Th'
eficer replied, "You did" and at ono
took him into custody, and en- arrival o
the afternesn tralr, the prisoner, heavil,
irened, and the Ulcers rsturaed to thl
city and thence to Hudson.
Bivins subsequently confessed the dee'
to the efhcers, and narrated the particu
lars of the triple murder, to those wish
ing to listen, with perfect sang freid-
apparently not the least affected.
