Of the murder of young Robinson In
Hsth Township. in that county, on Sat-
urday night:
Public worship had been held at the
Cross Roads church, about two miles this
side of Mauckport. on Saturday evening.
After service, and as part Of the con-
gregation had reached the residence Of
Mr.. Wiseman, near Buck creek, on their
way home, they we're startled BY the
report of pistol shot and the cry of
20, Lord, / am killed |" from some per-
son near the company in the dark. On
bringing up the light It was discovered
that Charles Robinson, very quiet, in
offensive young man, was shot and dying.
It appears that there had been some mis-
understanding between Mr.. Robinson and
a man named John Bruce for some time,
which eliminated in the death of the
former. From the best information we
can receive, there were two or three per-
sons present at the time of the killing,
and from these we learn that Robinson
came up to Bruce, and remarked to him
that be had understood he (Bruce) was
going to kill him. Bruce replied that
he had said so, and now was just as
good time as any to do IL" Bruce then
drew his revolver and shot him, killing
him almost instantly. Bruce then fed
10 Kentucky, but has since been at home.

Of eight years the fever has, it is calcu-
lated, swept away two-tbirds Of the in
habitsnts of the deserted villages. In
some places the mortality has been far
greater. When the East India railway
was opened, Pandsoah was dourishing

fever appeared, and since that time Eve

persons have fallen victims to ito attacks,
and the remnant wander like speeters
round their malaria-stricken homes, dis
eased in every limb, and bearing on their
pinched and saddened faces the un-
mistakable marks of Q lingering but early
death. The state of the children who
have lifetime of work before them is
even more deplorable than that of the
grown-up men. I do not think, writes
the sanitary commissioner after visiting
these villages, that exaggerate when /

The ship Gossamer, bound f.om Lon
don to South Australia, with so passen-
gers, besides her crew was lost about the
middle of December last. on the coast OF
Devonshire, England. Capt Thomp-
son, the master, had only been married
three weeks, and his young wife was on
board. The Glasgow [Scotland] Her.
aid gives the following account Of the
wreck
The ship was beating down the chan
mel, under the charge of 4 pilot, in the
face of heavy sea. The captain was in
the cabin with his young wife, unsus-
picous Of danger. About noon the YES
sci appeared to be getting dangerously
near the rugged coast of DevOnshire,
but the pilot refused to change her
course. Shortly after this, the pilot be-
ing convinced that he was hugging the
shore too closely, gave orders to tack, but
the order came too late. They were APP
preaching the Prawle Point, round
which heavy sea was sweeping, and
the ship was found to be driving upon
the rocks. Two anchors were let go us
quickly as possible, but they failed to
take hold and in a minute more the Cos
samer was beating upon the jagged rocks
about 90 yards from shore, with the sea
breaking over her and sweeping the
decks from stem to stern. No one on
board seemed equal to the emergency.
The captain could think Of nothing
but the peril OF his young wife, while
the crew were seized with panic, and
numbers of them leaped overheard, but
few managed TO reach the land. The
captain threw of most of his clothes
and was preparing to follow, in the des-
perate attempt to save his wife when
q powerful negro seaman, an excellent
swimmer, offered to take Mrs. ThOmp-
son along with him, but the offer was
refused, and the next moment heavy
sea tore the wife from her husbands
arms and swept her overheard. Capt
Thompson instantly jumped into the
sea after his wife, but he attempt to
save her was in vain, and both persisted
within few yards of each other. Mean
while the officers of the COastguard haC
been watching the course of the Gossa
mer, got their rocket appara us in leadi
ness even before the vessel was driven
upon the rocks. They succeeded in saw
ing the remainder of the crew and pas
sengcrs, to the number of seventeen per
sons thirteen were drowned, includ-
ing the captain and his wife and the
loss of life is all the more deplorablt
when it is considered that the wreck
took place within sixty yards of dry
land, aid with deliverance at hand al
most as soon as it was required"
