Both has the following :ad3-aE irrs ~ 20
From a gentleman who came down
from Sloan's Station on the Pittsbprg
and Cleveland Railroad, yesterday, we
learn the following account of an affair
more shocking,Gif true. than the recent
murders in Washington county, Pa
Our informant says the names were
given him with the circumstances, but
making no note of them he is not able
to remember them. An old man who
resided at Salineville, on the q. & p.
Railroad, In Columbiana county, Ohio,
received some 81, 500 in money! fact
that became known in the neighbor-
hood. On Wednesday last he went In
company with son to New Lisbon, the
county town, some fifteen miles distant,
to deposit this money in the bank,
leaving wife and daughter at home.
/ They arrived too late oget into. the
bank, and went to hotel to stay over
night. Early in the night the young
man awoke In terror, and told his faith
er that his mother had her throat cut.
The father replied "nonsense, that it
was dream, and babe his ison go to
sleep again. But the young man found
sleep impossible, and after tossing rest
lessly while, and becoming more and
more impressed with the feeling that
something was wrong at home, he got
up and declared his intention to go
home at once. Finding him determin-
ed. the father agreed, and they, reused
the landlord, and explainingto him the.
circumstances, prepared TO set out
The father was already armed, and the
son borrowing the landlords revolver,
they started for Salineyille, which they
reached before day. ,lfgss-H -
Approaching their house, they We're
surprised TO see light In the windows,
and approaching very cautiously and
looking in, they were horror stricken
to see the mother lying on the floor
weltering in blood. Separating, one
went to the front and the other to the
rear door, when just as they were about
to enter, two persons attempted to es-
cape, one from each door,. and we're
each shot down almost simultaneously
by the father and son. A third person
still in the house, up stairs, leaped' out
of one of heupper windows, and was
also shot almost as soon as he touched
the ground. On entering the house
and proceeding to another room, the
father and son were still more Mortified
to find the daughter lying also stark
and dead, and covered with blood
Whether all three of the murderers
were killed outright or not our inform
ant could not say.

The extent to which the land is monop.
olized by 3 few of the great families in
England and Scotland. is forcibly iilust-a-
ted by the following facts: Mr.. Emerson
rode on the highway twenty-three miles
d. the estate Of the Dixie Of Cleveland
The Marquis af Breadalbane rides ont of
his house 100 miles in 3 straight line to
the sea on his own property. The Duke
of Sutherland owns the county of Suther-
land, stretching across Scotland from sea
to sea- Beside his other estates, the Duke
of Deyonshire owns 96, 900 acres in the
county Of Derby, and the Duke Of Rich
mond 10000 at Goodwood. and SOC, 900 at
Gordon Castle. Even the park of the
Duke-of Norfolk, in Sussex, is fifteen miles
in circuit The Earl of Lonsdaleis posses
sions virtually give him q fee SIMPLE Of
eight sests in the House of Commons; for
no one among his tenants would dare
oppose his nominees. And, all the while,
these immense domains are growing lar
ger and more valuable. The Duke of
London's property, which used to be
chiefly fields and farms and common lands,
now occupies a mile square in one of the
most densely populated parts Of the
metropolis. The Marquis Of Westminster
built a few years ago splendid streets and
squares on a lot of waste ground, trans
forming a wilderness of marsh into what
is called Belgravia-the most fashionable
quarter of the West End-aEd himself
into the richest man in Europe. In Ire
land monopoly is carried to the same ex-
treme, and Is productive of far greater
evils. The late Lord Palmerston was re-
ported to hold twenty Irish estates, and
where the Fenians were lately in force in
the county of Tipperary, the country is
mostly the property of highlands present
Premier, the Earl of Derby.

Farm Items.

Colorado folks think they are doing
well. They are only 500 miles from q
railroad and from a steamboat landing,
and they raise all the grain they need.
At Golden City, paper, rags, and straw
are wanted at their new paper mills.
In Tennessee, Gen. Ewell has several
thousand acres of land, is growing WOO
instead of cotton, has the best wheat
fields in the State, and is laying down
much of his land in grass. None of
the Confederate chieftains have shown
such mastery genera lship.
In Washington they have some horse
stables as nice as parlors. The stalls
are cabinet work, and the floors OF
fancy brick.
In Iowa, where land sells for S. an
acre, and COWS for $40, the COWS yield
an average of SIS worth of cheese.
It is a great mistake to raise a roost.
er for his Growing qualities. He should
be started early in April, and lay his
foundation for usefulness before July.
Some farmers selItwo crops in winter.
In the forepart it is hay, in the latter
part hides.
In Massachusetts, farming and manu-
features improve together. Last year
near Lawrence, there were fields which
yielded 40 bushels of wheat to the acre.
The farm products of California for
1866 were worth S34,000,000.
