TORS AS sign of the times I send you an &C
count of q murder committed in this county on the
night of the 2lst Sunday ult. Mary and Becky
Jane Col ins, freed women, mother and daughter,
the former about 50 years and the latter 30 years
though not EN- ployed by her. Becky had two
small children, and boy four years old named
Jerry, the SOD of her deceased sister, and grand
son of Mary. On the night of tho MURDER boy
eight years DID, son Of Becky, and who is bound to
Mr.. Joseph Murray, stayed with his mother. He
states that in tho night his mother and grand
mother shut jerry out of doors, that they then
tore to pieces On old bedstead which had belonged
to Jerry's mother, and carried it out doors, with
all Of Jerrys mothers clothes and bed-clothes and
made of them fire at the corner of the chimney.
They then caught Jerry, and after cutting him with
an axe, making frightful wound OH his neck,
pushed him into the large fire. He screamed and
him back, until he was dead. They continued
burning him until all was consumed except two
small plates of the skull few remains Of bones,
and some of the intestines. Mr.. Joseph Murray
was there on Monday morning, when Becky told
him that she had killed the devil-that Margar It
(Jerrys mother) had come bRck and stuck her
claws in Jerry and made him devil, and she and
her mother had killed him. She evidently was
feigning insanity aud made great many simple
and foolish remarks. Mary made no such attempt,
but confessed that she mado the fire and that
Becky burnt the child. The widow lady did not
remain at home that night, but she says these two
women had for the last twelve months treated
jerry very cruelty. Both the women are now in
jail awaiting tr.al.
Would not the negro soon become barbarous il
left to himself? Is he worthy OF being made

The LATE BISHOP EL11orr.-Christ Church was
the scene on Monday evening ofan impressive me,
mortal service in honor of the late distinguished
Bishop Of Georgia Eleven of the reverend clergy,
including Bishops Quintard and Wilmer, we're pro-
sent to take part in the ceremonial rites, and in
the presence Of very crowded auditory. The ser,
vice for the dead was antiphonally chaunted and
other solemn music we're sung by the choir.
Bishop Wilmer delivered the sermon, and the
great and good man who has passed away found
noble interpreter Of his lofty, pure and holy char
acter in the speaker. We do not ever remember
to have heard a more finished, eloquent and earn
est pulpit discourse. In our Judgment it places
the learned Bishop in the front rank Of tho able
Prelates Of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
place, We have not doubted, since we first heard
him, that ifhis Life were spared, he would surely
reach. Indeed, we could not help feeling, while
listening to him, that the mantle of the good and
great Bishop Of Georgia had fallen worthily upon
bis shoulders, and that he was destined to fill the
mighty void in the church and the hearts Of its
worshippers create by his departure. We trust
that Bishop Wilmer may be prevailed upon to fur
nish copy of his discourse for publication.
