AsorHEn, MURpzR.-The saysnnah Re,rs and
Herald OF yestardaY CONTAINS tie following ;iir;
On Tusday night most horrible murder and in
cendiarisn vas Committed st JENKsi Bridge, on
the Ogeechee river. An old negro, honest and
faithful, named Peter, who has long been connect
ed with Mrs. JzaKs' family, and who Tor years, on
account OF his fidelity, was left in charge of the
tolIgate, collecting fees, was brutally murdered,
and the house which he occupied as residence
burned, together with his body. No cause has
been assigned for the act beyond the suspicion
which the murderers entertained that as collec-
tor of tolls he necessarily possessed money. He
had Of course, the fees Of the road, and gold and
silver, which he saved from his hard and faithful
labors. 49,
His body was found ON the morning following,
being burned to crisp. As he was not q drink
ing man, the supposition is that he was murdered
while asleep and the house then set on fire, in
order to hide any evidence Of the murder.
AS yet no clue has been discovered in regard to
the murderers. -.i
Peter was formerly the property Of Mrs. JENKs
having been in her service since his birth, and was
looked upon as an honest and faithful man.

Itmes writing Of American contributions to the

beautiful collection of cabinet organs The work.
manship Of the cases compares fayorably with the
best specimens Of the kind in the French depart
ment, and the designs are light, rich and elegant.
1t is only of late years that the cabinet organ has
taken legitimate place in the ever-extending

inducement to howl in short or long metre. The
grcssness and inequality Of it's scale sufficed to
cover up every defect Of the performer, even the
custom of singing through the nose, which is yet
