A HORRIBLE MURDER.-We have just
been apprized, alta very late hour, of the
most shocking, malignant, devilish deed OF
violence " hich we have ever been called
upon to detail to the public. Our inform
ant gave US the principal facts of the hor-
rible tragedy, but there are doubtless fall
or particulars TO be had, when the excite.
ment Of the hour shall have, in some de-
gree, abated:
The leading points are these: A great eff
fort is being made in Stow township, to
clear that sub-district from the coming
draft. For the purpose of obtaining the
requisite funds, the young men Of the town
ship nave been devoting themselves, for
several days and weeks to soliciting money
from neutrality-suspicious. and Democrats
OF the district. They had appealed to one
VIM. Graham, wealthy farmer living
near Stew Corners for aid, and he had said
mot withstandtngh he is q bitter copper
head-he-would give 500. But when two
young men of the district called on him to
obtain it, he refused utterly to pay As he
was bound by his promise they determined
he should make good his word, but before
proceeding further they returned to take
counsel with their associates. II was re-
solved that twenty young men of the dis
trict should call on him, and they accord.
ingly mounted yesterday afternoon and
were riding over to his farm, when at some
distance from II, they were 6uQ0enly or.
dered to halt by. this bushwhackes, VIM.
Graham, who had heard of their intentions
and had armed himself with two revolvers
and a double barreled rifle, and planted
himselfin acovert near Stow Corners. The
armless cavalcade halted, when Graham
fred and brought down one OF the men
With shot In the left side. He Immediate
~ shot another through the head. killing
him instantly.
The young men. as they were Defense
less, scattered and dashed away. The
fiend, not content with his deed, approach.
ed the man first shot, who was still living,
although his wound was mortal, and
dhpatc lsed him with ashot in the forehead.
Al surgeon was summoned post-haste by
thelyoung men, but Graham stood over the
corpses and would not allow him to come
near, threatening to kill him II he made
the attempt. He declared that he would
give himself up to tho Trustees Of the
town If they would come with . nag Of
truce and pledge himself protection. q
Presently the Sheriff of the county, with
q POSSE, had arrived from Akron, whence
they had been summoned, but on their APP
proaCh Graham ran, and was captured on
" after receiving . shot in his right arm,
which completely disabled him. He was
then arrested and taken to Akron. where

MEDICINE IN MApAeAscAR.-''Ls Medl-
cline Naturelle'' ID the title Of tho book re-
Gently published In Paris, BY DR.. Fera1-
nand Conniere, with view to explain the
difference which exists between the treat
ment OF various disorders according 70
European methods and those practiced ~
the inhabitants Of Madagascar, = country
in which the author has passed several
years of his life. The medical treatment
Of patients in the island alluded to is ex-
clusively confined to q n,ateri0 medic0
derived from the vegetable kingdom
bleeding and mineral remedies are pro-
scribed, and the luxurant vegetation OF the
island offers numerous powerful specifics
for the most formidable diseases to which
the human frame is liable, such AZ govt.
cancer, kings evil, rheumatism, &c. The
following are among the most notable
plants enumerated by the author: The
Ingd, the bark Of which is astringent: the
1Malambo. febrifnge, and. the Nepentaes
distitatoria, the leaves Of which are shaped
like cups, which, during the night, collect
the falling dew, and are thus found re-
plete with water in the morning. and
empty toward evening when the heat Oh
the day has caused the water to evaporate.
Each cup Will contain about half tumO-
Ter full Of water, 80 that in the morning
the twigs are bent down with the weight Of
liquid they support. To each cup there ls
a lid, which closes it as soon a. it is full,
and gradually opens as the day advances.
The Malgaches call this plant copok. and
have very great generation for It az
specific for pulmonary complaints. To
these beneficial plants We will add one Of
infamous notoriety, the ta,sg.in, the peach
like fruit of which incloses an almond, the
deadliest poison known, very probably
on account Of the prussic acid IL contains,
since the plant emits smell Oflanrel Wa
ter. With this poison Queen RanAyolo is
said to have caused the death Of upward Of
$1,000 persons. She was remarkable for
her hatred of physicians, whom she used
to persecute unrelentingly because they
often succeeded in saving her victims from
the effects Of tGn1nin, and to prevent this
she at length had recourse to the device OF
keeping those whom she poisoned without
food for tweDty-fcur hours before the tar
quiz. was administered.
The chivalry don't con fine themselves to
shooting and hanging Union men in the
border states. The Chattanooga Gazette
states that party ofgutrrillas, who would
De greatly offended, we, suppose, II they
were not recognized as belonging to the
chivalry Of the South, recently hung the
wife and daughter Of DR.. Joshua King, of

eral Government. Mrs. King and her
daughter were taking u ride in the country

Mr.. Forney lately proposed ia his Wash.
ington CHRONICLE that the Government
should use the cotton Of the South TO ouy
up the rebels: taking the cotton belonging
to the Confederate government, selling It
and turning over the. proceeds to the rebel
officers and soldiers on condition of their
lavinc down their arms and returning to
allegiance. and selling the cotton belonging
to private rebels for their benefit. In this
wav Mr.. Forney thinks we may conciliate
and conquer the South. The joke Of this is
that Mr.. Forney is not joking at ali, but is
this cotton trade We can overcome the re-
bellion more rapidly than by fighting.

when the Confederacy is so environed by

ness. The day must be keptin accordance
with the canons OF the church, and as the
apprehensions Of canonical rules and bibli-
cal usage, the Wing lays down the formu.
las for proper observance Of the day.
They are in brief:
/. In all churches, at least three SER
vices.
3. All churches 70 keep open doors, and
services In operation without intermissi0n
during the whole day.
8. Country churches to 6p-otract thei1
services through four or Eve hours. 4
4. The people to humiliate themselves
and eat nothing. afz8 .ss ~;
+ S. All light conversation and amuse
ments to be discarded. .0sil
II there be any virtue in tasting and
prayer, the Wing IL of the opinion such AT
Observance Of the day ought to persuade
Providence to fight ON their side. With
Providence and the negroes. the Yankees
will Be expelled from Southern soil, anC
Independence secured.
The experiment. at least has this advan.
tage, Il viii cost nothing. Rather, and
taking an economical view, it viii be a
saving Of several hundred thousand Jati0ns
which Gen. Lee could find Immediately
useful. Our own opinion il that this will
be found the most valuable feature Of it,
