A BURGLAR Shot Dead at Janesville---A
Warning to Housebreakers.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette gives an account
OF the shooting, on Monday night, of a
burglar named TIM or WILLIAM Brown,
who had been roaming round town for
several days without any apparent occu-
patton, which we condense as follows
The rascal made his appearance at the
window of bedroom in the second story
of the residence of Mr.. William Watts, in
the south side of the city, reaching it by
the roof of projection underneath. The
room was occupied by young lady, sister
of Mrs. Watts, who, being aroused and
alarmed by the appearance of man at
tempting to effect IN entrance, ran to the
room occupied by Mr.. Watts, awakened
him and made known the cause Mr.. W.
sprang to his feet, seized pistol he had
the precaution to put under his pillow,
.crept to the door Of the young lady's bed
room, and, taking deliberate aim, fired
twice in rapid succession the burglar
arose to his feet, threw up his hands, and
fell backward from the roof through a
tree near by. The cry of murder was
raised, and soon a number of neighbors
were on the spot, among them DR.. Il. S.
Barrows, who was there in time to find
the villain alive but unable to speak; he
expired in about five minutes An ex-
animation by DR.. 3. disclosed the fact
that one of the balls had taken effect in
the breast, and as the victim was on his
hands and knees, and fred at from the
front, it entered and lodged in the heart
or at the base of it. 1t was thought he
was attempting to enter the house to Sc
cure the keys to the jewelry store Of J. A.
Webb, Mr.. Watts being employed in that
store and supposed to have the keys to
the store and safe.
There was found on the body of the de-
ceased an ugly dirk knife, about eight
dollars IN money, very poor watch and
chain, some small ornamental trinkets, a
letter of some six pages addressed evil
IDENTIFY to some female named Anna, and
the subjoined notes on different scraps of
paper, also bottle of arsenic or some
thing Of the kind. In the grass outside
was picked up bottle of chIoroform.
"his Sister Went last night her folks

A coroner's inquest was held, and after
taking considerable testimony, the jury
found verdict fully justifying Mr.. Watts
and exculpating him from all blame.

An article from the Post, upon this sub

Gov. Seymour's father killed himself
while insane; that his mother was for a
long time previous to her death insane;
and that two other members ofhis father
family had suffered from mental aberra-

Shocking Tragedy.


On the 18th instant, Mr.. Rhsar son Of Jas,
Rhea, living two miles and a half from BlOunt-
vile, shot his wife and himself whilst under
a ct Of maSh pom. These are the facts, as
far as We have been able to gather them
Whilst Mrs. Rhea was sitting on the porch
Sabbath morning, Npprehendiug no danger,
her husband deliberately fred at her with a
six shooter, the shot taking effect in the side
Of the head. She gsd in terror out Of the
end Of the perch, falling in the yard. Rhsa
then got hisgan and pursued, aad 10 the act
of firing a second time, be fell from the porch
the hammer of the gun striking upon the
floor It went Of, the bah entering Rhea'S
body and killing him instantly. Mrs. Rhea
is still alive, but her condition is considered
very precariOUs.
We understand Rhta for Bome time has
been very iutsmperate, aud the cause Of thi'
inhuman act can only be attributed TO th'
imaddsning influence of drink. The family
Is Of the highest Fepectability and such .
horrible deed occasions sorrow in the whole
community.
