A horrible murder occurred Monday
forenoon, about eight niiles from West
Newton, ,WestmoreIand county a wen.
known farmer, in moment of Sudden
passion Or Insanity, fractured his wife's
skull with huge club. Z M ~, u ,si
Itappears, from all the information
wep.wereable TO obtain, that the ,nur-
aerer whose naiiie is Samuel Morrow, is
. resident of South Hdptiugton town,
slip, Westmoreland county On Mon
day afternoon he was at work in field
near the house with his son, who is
young man about eighteen years of age.
MIR. Morrow left the field and went to
the house about TO o'clock, and soon
after the young. man heard his mother
screaming "mnfderDU u On flushing iuto
the house he found her lying on the
kitchen floor, and his father beating her
ina terrible manner withaas large club.
The young man interfcrred and eDdeav-
ored to wrest the club from the hands of
his enraged father, but was unsuccessful,
the old gentleman being powerfully
built man, while the boy was slightly
built and was obliged to retreat before
the attacks of the huge club. He ran
for assistance, but before he returned the
cries of the poor woman had ceased, and
she was found lying on the floor, life
being extinct. There were n large num-
Der of bruises on her body, and her skull
was fractured BY 4 terrific blow in the
back of the head.
The murderer has escaped, and it is
supposed fed across the fields to the
woods. The affair produced great ex-
citcmcnt in the township, and twenty five
men turned out to hunt the murderer,
but as yet heahas succeeded in eludins
arrest. He had no hat or coat on at the
time he left the house.
Mr.. Morrow was man about fifty
five years of aye, and it is stated, about
two years ago showed symptoms Of in
sanity, Int was supposed to have entirely
recovered. No motive, unless it be in
sanity, is known for the commission of
the horrible murder.

Murders in Indiana.

A special dispatch from Fort Wayne
to the Cincinnati EnQ,arcr, dated June
18th, says:
The little village of Covington, Troy
county, Indiana, and its vicinity, were
thrown into the most intense excitement
last evening by the enactment of one of
the most horrible tragedies ever known
in the annals of Northern Indiana. The
particulars, as far as can be obtained,
are as fallows:, About sunset last even
ing, Frederick Rcmster, formerly in the
employ of Mr.. Dodd, auctioneer, shot
and killed Mrs Jones, respectable
widow lady, about seventy-five years of
age. She was the mother of John T..
Jones, who edited the Friend years ago.
Rcmstcr killed her with revolver, the
ball passing iii her neck, below the ear;
she lived but few minutes. The next
victim of the assassin was beautiful and
highly respected young lady, about seven
teen years of age, the daughter Of Mr..
Beckclheim. Miss Beckelheim heard
the disturbance across the street and
stepped out, when Remster fred,
the shot taking effect above the ear.
She is unconscious to-day, tho brain
oozing from the wound, and her physi-
clans say she must soon die. The MUIR
dcrcr lived in part of the house of Mrs.
Jones, with his young wife, to whom he
had been married only three weeks
When Rcmster shot Miss Bcckclheim.
he cried for John Dodd, and rushed
away. AS lie came near James McMahan's
residence, he tried to kill man stand
ing near, but the cap snapped. Nc
Mahan' S little boy, with great self-posscs-
sion, told the murderer that Dodd had
just passed, and started Rcmstcr after
him. Remstcr went off hurriedly, and
soon meeting John Fauslcr, rushed to
him, dashed the revolver right in his
mouth, and pulled the trigger, but the
cap fortunately exploded without dis
charging the load. Mr.. Fausler, bciag
strong man, laid hands on Rcmstcr
crushed him to the earth and handled
him roughly till assistance came, when
he was Immediately lodged in Jail. 1t
is said that Remster had been gambling
desperately and drinking considerably.
No other cause for these horrible deeds
can now be made known, though the
promise of an explanation of this whole
sale slaughter is made. Lynch law is
strongly talked of, and it will require
most careful watching of til c authorities
IT 1t is not put into execution. Further
developments will be made tomorrow.

AN ELEPHANT BREAKS LoosE.-Vap
Amburgh's Menagcrie exhibited at
Lyons n. Y. Saturday last. The huge
elephant attached to the establishment
broke loose on Saturday night in absence
of his keeper and made display of his
strength. The Democrat Press SAYS:
''His keeper was at his lodgings,
and the night watchmen in charge see
ing their inability to control the mon
ster Immediately dispatched messenger
for him. Before the arrival of the keep
er the elephant showed unmistakable
symptoms of going on tear, and COM
menced operations by catching one of
tho educatad mules with his trunk
and hurling him distance of some
twenty feet against the rear of the
cage containing the elk, nearly demol-
ishing it and severely injuring the mule.
The appearance of his keeper put an end
to further depredations, and tho elephant
was securely fastened. We have heard
no probable cause assigned for the sud
dcn outbreak of temper on the part of
the elephant but as they are liable to
such freaks, we are rejoiced that no
greater damage was done. Had the
cage which was stove in by the body of
the mule, contained some of the more
noisy and ferocious animals, there can
be no prediction made as to the ultimate
results OF the elephants anger

Fate Of n Fiend.

Mention was made in this paper last
week Of the murder Of young lady
named Miss Eliza Hite. residing in
Rockbridgc, by negro namcd Jesse
Cummings. Ihc negro Was arrested on
Monday last and committed to Jail in
Lexington, where he made II fuu con
fcssion Of his guilt, aud also that pre-
vious to the murder he had outraged the
person of his victim. The citizens of
Rockbridse were greatly excited at the
ficndish decd, and Oh Friday night last
about II o'clock party of fifty men
went to the jail where the monster was
confined, aud took him in charge. al
most noiselessly they left the vicinity OF
the village with the criminal aud pro.
cecdcd to Il grove about mile distant,
where they halted. The negro was then
placed beneath n large oak tree aid with
out any commotion whatever a rome was
fixed around his neck He was then or
dcrcd to ascend Il Ladder placed against
the tree. With great trepilation the
criminal obcyel, and he was made to
straddlc the lowcrmost limb, about
twelve feet from the ground. lie was
then desired to make his peace with God
as quickly as possible, as hc had only IA
lew moments to live. His reply was Il
mere sroan. Immediately afterwards he
was pushed from the limb. The wretch
cd man with great desperation held fast
to the limb and it required considerable
cxcrtion to make him let so At length
he gave way and in another instant he
was hanging in mid air, struggling vio-
lcntly with death. His neck was not
broken by the fall and it was evident
he died from strangulation after a few
moments of terrible agony The lynch
crs waited until satisfied of the death of
the criminal, when they silently depart
ed, leaving the body hanging. Great
excitement prevailed in the neighbor-
hood, and but little sympathy exists for
the wretch who cxpiated his crime in SO
horrlcd manner, even among the ne
groes. None of the lynchers are known
but they are all citizens OF the county.
A remarkable fact is that not student
or cadet from either the College or In
stitutc was known or supposed to be in
the. .avenging party.

BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-A horrible crime
perpetrated on Sunday evening, the 9th
instant, about eight miles below Lcxing-
ton, Va, has greatly excited that usually
quiet community. Miss Susan Hite, a
young lady of high responsibility, about
eighteen years of age, was on her way to
church, when negro, named jesse Ed
wards, met her, forced her into the
woods, outraged her person, and then
murdered the young lady and threw her
body into the river. Suspicion fell upon
the negro, who was pursued and arrested.
He confessed the murder, but insisted
that it was in "self-defense, and told
where the body could be found. 1t has
been recovered, and the examination
before the coroner revealed the full enor
nifty of the crime. The negro now
makes full confession, but even without
his admission the proof of guilt is con
elusive. He has been examined before
the mayor aad fully conmi. ted for trial.

When Jefferson Davis was Secretary OF War
he issued orders to all army officers, aaking Of
them specifications for new uniform. Phoenix,
who was al excellent craftsman, set to work and
produced design. He made no great change
in the uniform, but he proposed revolutionizing
the entire system Of inoder, tactics by an iron
hook. This hook was to b. attached to tho seat
of every soldiers pants 1t applied to every arm
of the service-cavalry, infantry and artillery.
He illustrated its use by series OF well-execu.
ted designs. He quoted high medical authority,
proving its advantages in a sanitary point OF
view. The heavy knapsack, he srgued, induced
o STOPPING position and very great contraction
OF tho chest; but hung on the hook by strap
connecting with the shoulder, IL would brace the
shoulder, it would brace the body aud expand

more secure IN their seats, heoked TO Q ring in
the saddle. All the, commissioned officers we're

attached to the end. This was to be used dnring
an engagement in drawing the stragglers back 20
the ranks. In many other unheard Of wsys did
he expstiate on the value OF his hook. Jefferson
Davis was enrsged. His dignity wss wounded
