FAMILY TRAGEDIEs.-It seems that murders of
entire families are becoming frghifully numerous in
the United States. FfSJ we had the Deerng tr agedy
near Philadelphia, and the Deerfeld murder in Ten
nessee, the perpetrators of which had remarka Bile
resemblance to each Cther-the shutting gait. the
light hair, the boyish enance and even the ah-
sence of the thumb of the right hand. Then was an
nounced the tragedy in York county; and then the
murder of father and son in Arkansas; and now
we have in West Baden Orange county, Iudiana.
the murder of u family of four persons killed 10
prevent their testifying against their murderer who
to be tried for arson. In this latter case
the murderer has been arrested but even arrests and
convictions aud executions do not seem to prevent
the occurrence of these terrible family butch
the mere description of which is almost to horrible
for belief.
OIL AFLoAT.-We learn that very large number
of barrels of oil have been tuIbled into the river al
Burning Springs. since the rain on Saturday night
for the purpose of being foated to this point. Some
have estimated the number at very high figure
One gentleman told us he had 700 barrels in the
water; and we infer from what we hear, there are
several thousand barrels, perhaps 10000 $4,000 OF
the way here.-ParherSbur0 Gazette.
