the necessity which demands that
they should aid in steering the ship

although their experience in that
line is very limited, and not doubling
in the least that very inexpericncc
should give them a claim over those

A letter from yarna OF the 25th December states
that IN consequence OF erdc.s sent from Constanti-
nople by the King OF the Hcllenes to the Consul OF
Greece the latter had lowered his Tag and warned his
counfrymen tnat they ought to prepare to quit the
country. The Greek colony there is by the fmpor-
tanCe OF Its members by their fortune and by the
rank they occupy, one OF the frst In the empire.
They Immediately called q meeting to draw mp pc
tton to the Sultan In which they ask permission to
remain IN Turkey, oerng to submit TO all the obli-
cations which may be imposed upon them by the
administration. This proceeding has been well re-
ceved at C0nstantinople, and until the question II
nally settled they have been granted an unlimited
delay. Also from Choumla, the Dardanelles and
Galfipol news arrives that large numbers OF Creeks
on learning the events which had occurred and
without awaiting the order for expulsion, hastened
to make legal declaration expressing their desire
to become subjects OF the sultan.

One OF the boldcst and most bloody murders ever
perpetrated occurred In the town OF Austinburg,

about hafpast seven O'Clock. the victim being
old man about seventy years Of age named Robert
M. Pray. For many years II has been known that
this old man possessed few hundred dollars In

house. Living q single life and obscure, IL was .
nne opportunity for some assassfn TO enter and
take possession OF the house and carry on the spos.
This was attempted but when about one-half OF
their bloody deed done they became frightened BY
some persons coming along the road and made their
escape through the back door and into the woods.
BY tracks &C.. there were evidently two persons en-
gagged In the murder. About the time the act was
done some neighborfng boys came to the house on
an errand, and found the old man lying under hia
bed with his throat Gus and skull broken. The next
day search was made by the citizens for his treasure
who found about t43o very snu&iy put away In an
upper loft Of the house, ello Of which was specie.
Although the authorities arc on the alert for tho
murderers, no suspicious are resting upon any one,
though II h hoped that some light win ere long
