Horrible Tragedy.

PHILADELPHIA, april IL.
A terrible crime was discovered in the lower
section of this city this afterpoon. A family
of seven persons, consisting of Christopher
Deering, his wife, niece and four children, had
been murdered ON Decring farm, at Point
House road and James Lane. 1t is supposed
the murders were committed last Friday, by
German laborer. The crime was discovered
by finding the bodies of Deering and his wife
in a barn. One of the victims was an infant
ten months old. Plumber seems to have been
the sole object. The horses and cattle in the
stable were found in furnishing condition.
Second Dispatch.-The Ledger in an &C
count of the terrible tragedy, says the bodies
of Deering and niece were discovered in a
barn, covered with hay, and the others in
corn crib, similarly covered. 1t is supposed
the murders were committed by man and
boy who had been hired by Deering and who
had lived with his family for two months past.
Deering and ihis niece were from home ON
Saturday morning, and it is supposed that his
wife and children were murdered during his
absence, and that he and his niece were k1r cd
on their return. The bodies presented :. bor-
rible appearance, having been fearfb'.' Nv mutt
lated with knife and axe. Only one Of the
family is saved-a child aged Zen wears. who
is on visit to distant relatives. IS -'FTF't'[ :
