bly, the most correct of the theories expressed is
that all this dreadful work was done on Saturday
morning. during the absence of Mr.. Deering. His
body and that of Miss Heating, his cousin were
found alongside of the barn, not far distant from
the spot where the others were discovered.
The bodies OF Mr.. Deering and Miss Heating
were covered over with hay, with one of the feet
of Mr. Deering partly sticking out.
A little boy aged fourteen years, who lived with
the family and worked upon the farm, is missing.
1t is believed he was also murdered and his body
thrown into deep well or one of the many bitches
that abound in that section of the country. The
well on the premises was partly searched last
night. butno bottom could be reached. The bitches
in the vicinity Of the house were also examined,
but without discovering the body of the missing
boy. The search is beng resumed this morning
with renewed vigor.

and her four children are butchered, it is supposed
singly, after being enticed from home, and without
leaving any marks behind and then, upon the ar
rival of the husband and niece, for them to have
been dealt it'll in the same manner and still no
spot of blood found in the house or yard is indeed
surprising. The only rational theory we have
heard is that npon the arrival of Mr.. Deering and
his niece he discovered that his family were not in
the house and started after them, and after leay-
ing the house was met by the murderer and slain
The niece then, it is thought, followed her uncle,
and was, in turn, killed in the same manner.
