Horrible Tragedy.

MARYsvILLE, Ohio, Dec. 23.-This
village and community are enshrouded
in mantle of gloom by one of the most
horrifying tragedies known in the annals
of crime, by the death of Hon. Cornelius
S. Hamilton, member of Congress from
the eighth congressional district of Ohio,
by the hand of bis eldest son, Thomas C.
Hamilton, youth of eighteen. The facts
in short are about as follows The son
Thomas was remarkably goot and steady
boy. About three weeks ago he becam me
uneasy about himself, aud wished his
father to come home His mother also
being concerned about him, wrote Mr..
Hamilton to come home. He came home,
and on Saturday instituted proceedings in
the Probate Court to send the boy TO the
Insans Asylum, but did not get the papers
10 time to send him on Saturday. I
Sunday morning, at about 9 O'Clock,
Mr.. Hamilton said to his two oldest boys,
Thomas and John, that they would go out
and "feed.' The three went out, the
father carrying some corn fodder, dis
lance of ten or fifteen yards, and throwing
it over in the barn lot, the younger (Jno.)

stock as the father directed. Mr.. Hamil.

day has elapsed and have again to record
another of those negro outrages so fire.
quent at the South since the emancipation
of that unfortunate race another brutal
murder. But few days since and the
peaceable citizens iu this vicinity were
thrown into state of the most violent
excitement aud terror by the horrible
murder of Colonel Nethercutt, and the in.
human beating bis wife received at the
hands of the murderers, who also attempt
ed incendiarsm. The affair am about
to record, is twofod tragedy, the negro
murderer meeting death at the hands of
a heroic boy, not more than fourteen years
old
Night before last the residence of Mr..
Daniel Doughty, on the public road lead.
ing FROM Neusa to Trent, was invaded by
gang Of negro dcsperadoes, who infest this
portion of the State. Upon reaching tho
house ooe of the party entered, the others
remaining outside, as is usual in such
cases, 10 guard against Intrusion, while
their bloody work is being prepetrated.
Ben GARNER, the murderer, who met his
deserved fate, finding no one present but
Mr., 2. Bratcher aud small boy, seized
the former and demanded all tho money
there was in the house A violent strug-
gle, lasting for some moments, now en-
sued, the negro, being very powerful and
muscular, freeing himself. He immedi.
ately drew revolver, discharged it twice,
one of the balls taking effect in Mr..
D--,-Loi aouuinou, UuU II 20 rSuc
arm. From the wound in his abdomen,
which was mortal, he has sinae died A.
this juucture of affairs the weak and pue-
rle boy displayed in "a marked degree his
courage aud herosm. When the struggle
had assumed its 6ercest aspect, and the
negro bad drawn his pistol, the boy slipped
behind door, and seizing the gun belong
lug to Mr.. Doughty, took steady and de-
Iiberate aim at the negro murderer, fred,
and instantly killed him. The remainder
of the gang outside, seeing their leader
lying PROSTATE in his gore, fed, as negroes
will always do when they encounter true
manly courage. Tho boy remained in the
house, the sole survivor of this two-fold
tragedy, administering to the dying wants
of Mr.. Bratcher until assistance arrived.
This section is daily the scene OF the
most unparalleled murders the people live
in terror, and if measures are not adopted
to restrain the growing negro violence
the country will become depopulated.

Something akin to the above, saws the
Philadelphia Ledger, is fact in the life
of newly elected bank director in this
city, as the samo was told as by the indi-
vidual himself. He was staid, active
business man, member of the Society
of Friends, and like the most Of that un-
obtrusive seok, rarely took part in affairs
outside of bis own store, Being a man
of means, and keeping good bank ac
count, one Of our oldest banks solicited
him to baoome director. 1t being a
grave question With him, he said he
would think Gift, aud after consultation
with his wife who being little ambitious,
insisted that be should accept ii. and he
did. At the first meeting of the Board
thereafter he took his seat, and after the
disposal of the business before it, some
cigars, as usual, were brought 10 aud
those who desired helped themselves and
smoked, leaving at the time of the ad-
journment dozen or more in the glass
tumbier containing them. At the Board
was another quiet straight laced old
Friend, who, remaining little behind his
fellows, our new director saw HIM give
quick glance round the room to assure
himself that he was unobserved, and then
stealthily wipe the remaining cigars into
his pocket. 10 alarm, our new director
walked directly home, and to the sur
prise Of his wife, informed her that he
meant to forthwith resign his Office and
relating what he had seen, said ne thought
there must bo something in the air of
bank to create an itching palm, aud make
men dishonest. True TO his word, be did
resign, and has never since taken a seat
at Board Of bank directors.

Tunnel Under the Atlantic.

A proposition is on foot to start the gi-
gantic undertaking of running tunnel
under the Atlantic Ocean in order to COZ
meet the old and new world together by

and Europe, have been consulted, and they
have drawn up report which is perfstly
feasible, and only requires time aud money
to carry out, while the capital, although
stupenious, viii be forthcoming So far
as calculated approximately it will require

ded that the shortest route will be the
cable one, viz : between Newfoundland
and Ireland. The soundings already taken
to lay the cable telegraph are Of the great

lay out their map Of the bed of the ATTAIN

connect the communication between the

which means immediate information can
be sent to either continent by the passsn-

Bradd0ek's Grave.

The place where Braddock was buried
is in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, and
between fifty three and fifty four miles
from Cumberland, Maryland, few rods
north of the National road. There had
long existed tradition in this region that
Braddock was killed by one of his own
men, and more recent developments leave
little or no doubt of the fact. A com.
,nunication some time since appeared iu
Washington paper, written by gentleman
whose authority is good on such points,
and says "Wheu my father was reno.
wing with his family to the West, Que of
the Fausetts kept public house, near
where Uniontown now stands, the county
seat of Fayette, Pa. In this mans house
we lodged about the 10th of October,
1881, twenty.six years and few months
after Braddock's defeat, aud there it was
made anything but a secret that one of the
family dealt the death blow to the British
general. wn. U
"Thirteeu years afterwards met Thos.
Fausett in Fayette county, then, as be
told me, in his 10Th year. To him I put
the plain question and received the plain
reply: IL did shoot him p He then
went on to insist that, by doing so, he
contributed to save what was left Of the
army. In brief, in my youth never
heard the fact either doubted or blamed,
that Fausett shot Braddock" f.s
Hon. Andrew Stewart, of t1niontown,
Pa, says his father knew and often con-
versed with Tom Fausett, who did not
hesitate to avow, in the presence of his
friends, that he shot Gen. Braddock.-
Fausett was man of gigantic frame, of
uncivllized, half savage propensities, who
spent most of his lie among the noun
taius as hermit, living on game which
be killed. He would occasionally come
into town and get drunk sometimes he
would repel inquiries into the affair of
Braddock's death, by putting his fingers
to his lips, and utteriug sort of buzzing
sound at other times he would burs. in.
to tears and appear greatly agitated by
conflicting passions. l.a@l 4aaJ,

the troops should not protect themselves
