Trick, and What Came of il.
The Meadyille (Pa.) Republican says: On
Tuesday we reported the news Of the elopement
OF Professor Andersons wife with a man
named Norris, and the telegraphic statement
that Anderson had killed has child and commit
tea suicide at Coyington, Ky. BY later advices,
II appears that Professor Anderson is not the
''dead duck" that the telegraph made him out
10 be. The message was only ruse TO decoy
the happy ssbirds' into the hands of the
fowler" and it did The guilty .'twain" took
the back track, and Middleton, o., behold! the
unfortunate husband who had by (by report)
murdered his little child and blown out his
own brains, appeared before the astonished
couple, and took seat in the omnibus opposite
them.
The scene can be better imagined than des-
cribed. Suffice that the Professor with an eve
to The enhances" of the lately dissolved firm, -
directed the Professors would-be successor to
forking over what stamps he might have
belonging to the late Mr.. A, whereupon, as re-
port hath il, he shelled out some $500. The
Professor seems to have been quite satisfied
with the blood already shed, as he did not pro-
ceed TO blow out the brains of the man who
had run away with his wife. The unfortu-
nate woman passed through this city going
East on her way home, we hope a wiser and
better woman. As for the Professor he has
performed little piece Of slight-of- hand which
ecIpsed anything laid down in this posture"
John Norris, or johnny" as he is called by
his chums, is from WillIamsport Pa. He has

THE uSrArp OF DEsrprr

that the Territory of Utah has been for years

Senators and Representatives, and a Repre-

sented the constitution to Congress and sked for
admission. The organization then commenced

From the evidence it appeared that Murphy

story. About a week previous TO the homicide

ball entering the right temple, just above the
eye, and causing immediate death. Murphy
then left the room, and was afterwards seen
running down East Bay with the brace of pis-
