Terrible Tragedy in belmont
County, o.

The GAINESVILLE Enterprise of the
2Sth ult. contains the particulars of a
horrible tragedy, which occurred in that
vicinity, on the 2Ist. One Thomas
Carr had fallen in love with a Miss
Fox, aged fourteen years, but her pa
rents objected to his visits and forbid
him the house. On the day of the mur-
der Carr visited the girl at a neighbor's
house, when she informed him of the
decision of her parents; and upon part
ing with her he determined to commit
suicide. The change in his purposes,
and the manner in which the crime was
committed is thus told by the Enter
prise:
About one o'clock Carr started from
Sewellsyille, his intention being, be
says, to visit Fox's and see if there was
not yet chance of procuring their con-
sent to his marriage with Louise.
While on his way there, he saw the OBJ
ject of his insane passion coming down
the road, accompanied by her little
brother. When she came up he Joined
her. By this time his dreadful purpose
had become firmly fixed in his mind.
During the short walk, the girl told
him that her grandmother, whose house
she had just left, had told that her pa
rents had determined that she should
never keep his company again. The
reply Of Carr was that che guessed both
of them had short time to live," add
ing the query, "Louise, are you pre-
pared3" to which she responded, 81
am" and Immediately after her reply
he pushed her down and drew out the
razor, which he had hitherto kept con-
cealed in his pocket, and proceeded to
cut her throat The girl threw up her
hands, which we're fearfully gashed in
tie struggle. 1t appears that she did
not make an outcry, or plead for her
life, SO rapidly was the deed consum-
mated.
After seeing his purpose accomplish
ed, Carr, who had determined on sui
eide by shooting himself, went in search
of gun, yenturing boldly into SewelIs-
vile, the news of the crime not having
reached there at that time. After some
failures he procured rifle at the house
of family named Frisell
After this he proceeded by a round
about course to the coal-bank, which
was about two hundred yards from John
Foxs, the home of the murdered girl
and where the body then was. He
passed the night in the eoal-bank,
When day broke he repaired to Fox's
spring-house and proceeded to make
arrangements for taking his own life.
He cooked the gun, tied string to the
trigger, passed it over the end of q rafter
and then, by pushing the gun from him,
discharged its contents into his left
breast. The ball passed through the
outer and upper portion of the left lung.
Thinking that this shot would not finish
him, he then proceeded to sever his
Windpipe by drawing the edge of shoe
knife several times across his throat.
As soon as this was done he heard the
shouts Of his pursurers, the father of
the murdered girl having discovered
Carr standing near the spring-honse.
When he was arrested he had the bold
ness to ask to be taken into the house
where the dead girl lay. This of
course, her parents refused, The
chances are that Carr viii not recover
from his wounds. e3 ..J 4

INDIAN MATTERS.
The Senate Indian Committee have re-
ported in favor of putting the Bureau in
charge of Commissioner directly respon ST.
BILE to the President, as the Commissioner of
Agriculture now is and therefore, neither
making him Cabinet officer, nor subordi-
mating him to the War or Interior Depart
ment The bin further provides that all
Indians shall be put upon reservations as
rapidly as possible, and while there shall be
subject to the control of the Department.
But all Indians who refuse to go on reser-
Yations, or leave them for hostile or other
improper purposes, and all predatory and
rowing bands, shall be entirely subject to
military control In connection with this
subject Senator Wilson introduced a bill
providing that all supplies required by the
Indian Bureau shall be furnished by the
Quarter Masters and Commisary Depart
ments, upon requisitiOn therefor by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs approved
by the Secretary of War. Under the pres
ent system there is absolutely no check i'm
posed, and thisfeature will materially i'm
prove the bill llreported from thecommittee.
Several Indian chiefs, representing the
Sac and Fox tribes, have arrived here
The chiefs are atfired in true aboriginal
style with paint and tomahawks and are
here to treat with the Government in regard
to the sale of certain lands now owned by
the above tribes, and which the Government
is desirOus of purchasing. The delegation
is accompanied by @. H. Norris, Indian
Agent. rsHiog

In COPYING the favorable notice Of
our distinguished tOwnsmaD, from the
sandusky Register, which we publish
ed last week, the Toledo Commercial,
of Monday last adds the following
words Of approval:
Whatever the extent to which this
Characterization Of Gen. Buckland's sue
cessor may prove to be just, there is no
risk in endorsing all that is here said of
Gen. Buckland himself In an active
life Of more than thirty years extent and
largely identified with public matters
the opportunity for testing its merits
have not been few; and it is safe to say
that in no instance has it failed Cd trial.
Guided by fixed principles of unswerv-
ing honesty himself, be has never failed
to abhor and on all proper occasions re-
sist dishonesty in others. Whether in
the capacity Of a private citizen, as
partizan or public legislator, his voice
has ever been raised against fraud and
corruption, aud opportunities for meas
uring the strength of his purpose in
this direction have not been wanting.
For years surrounded by Legislative
'jobs" and "rings," " his name has never
so much as been mentioned in such
connections. Mere laudation is not to
our taste; but when at time like this,
occasion offers for pointing to public
man whose palm is known to be inno-
cent of bube, and whose devotion to
self has ever been subordinated to duty
to country, it is due, if not to the in
certainly to his fellow-citizens,
that his example be made prominent.
We have not enough of such to be in
different 70 them
