BUTcHERT or An ENTIRE FAMILY NEAR
THE KENTUCKY BoRDER.--A little over a
week ago frightfut tragedy was enacted in
Fentress county, Tenn, near the Kentucky
line. Therelived in that sections family
composed eli an old lady, some eighty years
Of age, and her three grandc hildren-one 4
young lady, another q boy Of twelve. and
the third a small girl. In the neighbor-
hood was man named Logsdon, ill-favored
Of face and of little character, who in some
way became cognizant Of the fact that the
old lady had in her possession considera-
hle amount Of money, the back pay OF her
dead son who had been a soldier, and he
resolved to secure 1t at ali hazards. Pro-
tceding one night to the house che occupied,
3logsdon, with knife and revolver, murdered
the grandmother and granddaughter, and
left the boy for dead also. All the money
ne found, however, was seventy-fve dol
lars, aud with this he fled. The boy, who
fortunately survived, next day told the tale
Of the bloody work Of the night, and, the
sheriff Of Fentress county, as soon as he
could be notified, started Immediately in
pursuit Of the murderer with warrant.
He passed through Clinton county in this
State, where he was Joined by the sheriff of
Clinton, and together the two shcriffs made
their way to Hustonvillc, Lincoln county.
Here they captured the murderer at the
house Of his father, even before he had
changed the clothing he wore when he COM
nitted the terrible crime, and which bore
the blood-stains of cruel MURDER ! {
1t was found that Logsdon, on reaching
his fathers house, had sent for heavy
lock, which he designed placing on the door,
and that he had also sent woman and 0
BOY for powder, lead, and caps. These par
ties were detained, however. It was evident
ae intended making a desperate resistance,
but the officers experienced little or no diff
Atty in effeeting his arrest. He was taken
pack Fentress county, where he will doubt
less be made to suffer the extreme penalty

NEW YORK, December 3.-The Stock
Exchange to-day directed that North Caro-
lima State bonds dated January 1, 1866,
and subsequently up to April l, 1868, in
elusive, and bonds issued under the fund
ing act ratified August 20, 1868, and dated
October 1, 1868, shall be good delivery for
North Carolina new bonds, and that all
other new bonds for the present be called
separately. This action is caused by the
claim that the acts of the State Assembly
authorizing the issue Of Chatham and other
railroad bonds were unconstitutional in
that they failed to provide for paying the
interest on the bonds by levying specific
tax.

destruction and loss of life.
We have endured awful suffering. Tor
rents Of rain for forty-eight hours mum
dated the city during the greater part of the

You may rest assured that unless some new

Another letter says:
A horrible event has struck US with con-
sternation and ruined q large proportion. of
the inhabitants of this city. On the 18th
it commenced to rain, and after seventy
two hours, at 10 o'clock at night, the sluicee

furious wind arose, the waters came dash
ing like fends from the mountain sides, and
brought us face to face with the most ter.

forget all things except that which is more
precious than all things-life, and espe-
cially the lives Of our little ones. Three
minutes after the full tide of the flood, and
everything was swept away as by tor
