HORRIBLE MURDER IN PHLADEL-
PHIA.-The murder of Mrs. Dorcas
Magilton, wife of Adam Magilton, in
Philadelphia, on Wednesday after
noon, already briefly reported by tel
egraph, was an atrocious affair. Mrs.
Magilton was woman sixty-two years
of age. About two o'clock her hus
band left home to get pair of specta-
Giles repaired, leaving her in the kitch-
en- knitting. In about one hour and
a half he returned, and was met at
the door by young man named Geo
w. Winnemore, who told him that his
wife had been murdered. lie accom-
panied Winnemorc to the kitchen,
and there horrible sight met his Wis
ion. Extended on the floor Law the
wife. her skull crushed in with blows
from a hammer. and her throat cut
from ear to ear. There were seven
blows on the head, either sufficient to
cause death, independent of the cut on
the throat. 1t was evident that she
had been attacked from behind. and
there were no indications of a strur-
gle. A hammer was found near the
body. Mr.. Magilton started out to
give an alarm, and young Winnemore,
alter telling policeman that MUIR
der had been committed, was walking
of, when the officer went after and
arrested him. He was taken to the
police station and searched, when two
50 bills and q note indicating an in.
tention to commit suicide, were fonna
upon him. 1t was afterward learned
that Mrs. Magilton had received the
same amount of money the day before
and that it was missing, but whether
these were the same bills was unde-
termined. Subsequently razor, was

DIAMONDS IN BRAZIL.-We have
been grati6ed by a visit from H. NJ.
Lane, Esq. the agent for Ayers Pills,
Sarsaparilla and Cherry Pectoral, in
South America, who has just visited
the mines with his medicines, and de-
scribed to Us the process Of taking
gems from the Garth A driver places
his gang OF slaves in a mud hole,
where the gems are found, and pans
out the earth III the water, like gold
washers. The negroes are naked to
prevent their secreting the diamonds
in their clothes. They are required
to work facing their overseer, and for
hidden to raise hand to the face, lest
they should swallow the jewels when
found. Yet they do carry them away,
by becoming so expert that they can
snap them with their fingers from the
pan to their mouth, without detection.
Ayers medicines are the talismans for
their diseases, and it was not difficult
to exchange, with the negroes, Ayers
Pills in about even weight, for the
rough stones in which the brilliants
are holden.-Boston Leader.

HANGED IN SPoRT--The Caledo-
MAN says that on the 22d inst, youth
named William Magee,. residing in
Salem, who had been in the habit of
amusing himself by frightening little
boy, son of Mr.. Charles Sartwell,
while doing something in the barn,
assembled the scaffold where the lower
end of a rope lay, the other end being
fastened to an overlayer over the
threshing floor. This rope had been
used in dressing beef. He adjusted
the rope to his neck with strong slip
moose, (purposing o frighteG the
child with the pretense of be
ing about to hang himself.) then de-
scended the scaffold, in doing which
it is supposed he made a blunder and
fell, which suddenly frightened the
rope around his neck. He began to
struggle, which fully answered his de-
sign, the little boy leaving the barn
but not being of sufficient age to CON-
prehend the transaction, and having
been previously corrected for allowing
himself to be SO easily frightened by
Magee, ne said nothing about it to any
one at the time. About half an hour
afterward little girl went to the
barn to call Magee to supper, and
found him as above stated, with the
rope so long that he was on his hands
and knees, his head not being more
than two feet from the floor. He was
doing what the little girl termed @play-
ing dead" which it seems he did effect
ually.
