One evening last week young lady, be.

received note, purporting to come from her
lover saying he had been thrown from his
buggy and severely injured, and begging her
to follow his messenger, and come to him at
once, as be did not believe he could endure
his suffering, and exist long. In postscript
he requested her to say nothing about it to
any one, but explain afterward
Unfortunately, the young lady's parents
were opposed to her receiving the attentions
of her lover, and she had met him several
times at the house Of mutual friend. So
she started to the place named in the note
Immediately, the boy who had brought the
note keeping a short distance before her. He
led her on and on, until she began to feel o
little frightened, when the boy stopped at q
house in the subeurbs oftown. She went in
and was met by woman, who asked her to
come up stairs. She did so. but bad hardly
stepped inside the door when she was blind

She could feel that there were several

she would give up her watch and riDgs-she
had several nice ones--that they would allow
hertz 60, on her taking solemn oath not to
tell what had happened her; but if she did
not consent, IT would be the worse for her
She was very young and timid, and their
threats frightened her so effectually that she
hurriedly took off her jewelry aud gave it TO
them, and gave the required promise. They
then took her to the front door. and she hura

For several days she told nothing of the
affair, but at last her father missed herwatch,
and asked her where it was. At FIRST she
refused to tell, but upon being pressed, told
the whole story. Her father was naturally

A Man murders HIS Wife and Child, and
then Kills Himself

Special Correspondence of Indianapolis Journa'.
RoAE, Ind, May "a, 1867.
II becomes my painful duty to record
another Of the most bloody and atrocious
murders that ever blackened the pages OF
crime. rys F
1t appears that q man by the name of
Smith, who came to this country about one
year ago, and located about six miles north OF
this place. was soon after followed by his
wife aud child, who stated that he-Smith-
had written to her in New York State to
come out here and see him die-that be was
in very poor health.
When she arrived he treated her very
coolly, and soon after gave her an inhuman
beating, and held her child over the FIRE
until life was almost extinct. They both,
however, recovered, and from that time till
yesterday they have been living around from
house TO house, dependent on the charity of
of the neighbors.
Being too weak and feeble TO earn an hon
orable support for herself and child, she had
concluded, as last resort, to place herself
Mt the mercy OF the connty--a pauper-and
while she was at the residence of the Rev
Mr.. Graves, three miles north of Rome,
contemplating the wretched life that
now stared her full in the face, her
husband arrived and invited her, in an unu-
sually kind manner. to 60 with him to visit
his brother, few miles distant. She readi-
ly consented, and the three set out on foot
for the place, two of them little thinking Of
the sad fate they we're soon TO meet. After
