A HORRIBLE MUEDER.-A most hor
rible murder was committed at Troy
New York, on Wednesday evening last
A Mr.. Venderheyden, went to his barr
with his son.in-law, L. A. Alexander, tC
bed some horses, and On leaving his Ian
tern outside to enter the barn was struck
down with an iron pump handle, his head
smashed. As the story first went, MIR,
Alexander remained behind to get pail
of water. He heard the noise and sup
posed it to be the horses. On entering
the barn he saw the form Of man with
uplifted arm and club approaching him,
and by instinct he warded off heavy
blow aimed at him by supposed burg
lar. At this time he also saw that his
father.in law was lying on the floor in
jured or murdered He dropped his pail
and fled to the house calling for help
He then took shot gun and fred it at
the barn to frighten the burglar, who
was supposed were after some money and
bonds which it was known Mr.. Wander
heyden had received that day and was
presumed 10 have with h m. Neighbors
we're aroused, and Mr.. V. was carried to
his house, and lived in an unconscious
state about two hours. A neighbor was
arrested, charged with the murder, bur
soon after was discharged. This was the
way the case stood in brief till Tuesday
afternoon of this week, when it proved
that the murder was committed by the
son-in law, L. A. Alexander, who with
his wife, sat at about 4 o'clock Tuesday
in the front room of the Vanderheyden
House. Alexander, on looking out of
the window, noticed Capt Squires and
Detectives Hulburt approaching the
place. 1t is supposed that he became
impressed with the idea that the officers
were coming to arrest him. He stepped
into a bedroom, aud moment later his
wife was startled by the report of a gun.
She looked in the direction of the bed
room, and there beheld asight that shall
never cease to haunt her memory. The
officers b ard the report and rushed into
the house. There in the bedroom of
the house lay the dead body of Alexan-
der, the murderer of Vanderheyden. He
had taken a loaded gun and aimed it at
his head. The entire upper portion of
his head was blown off, and the walls of
the room were covered with the brains
of the dead man.
A letter confessing that he had muir
dered Vanderheyden was left by Alex
ander. This proves that the suicide was
premeditated. The letter or confession
is in the hands of the detective.

came terrific banging at the door, APP
parently with an AK. He was startled
with crash the door had fallen. a
dozen shouts in quick succession, tiend-
ish yell, the groan of dying man, and
the tramp of heavy footsteps. Men, like
wild beasts, maddened at the sight of
blood, rushed in all directions. The old
err son, desperately wounded, tottered out
to the garden in the rear, only to have
the remnant of life shot out of him by a
wretch (revolver in hand), who stood ov-
err him as he lay gasping on the ground.
The work of carnage was of short du-
ration ten minutes completed the butch
cry below, and then rush was made for
the upper story for one more victim-a
beardless boy. While the assailants
we're on the stairs he sprang through
front window, where. grasping ledge
formed under the sill, he swung himself
out and hung suspended, How long he
remained there is told by his hands COW
cred with bisters, and so bruised and
strained that even now they are nearly
useless. The room was speedily filled
with men. Torches were thrust out near.
ly over his head, but, thanks to thei
binding glare, the victim hung unseen.
They evidently believed he had escaped.
Parties were even sent to the river, but
after stay Of perhaps Is minutes, the
scene of horror was deserted. The dam
ger for the moment over, theyouth swung
himself back into the room, and for
time lay completely vercomeby exhaus-
ton. Then came the sad Office of view
ing the bloody corpses of the only two
he claimed akin within thousands of
miles. Col. Jones lay where he had
stood, pierced by four bullets. He had
evidently died instantly, receiving every
wound from the front. The son lay in
the garden also quite dead. Remaining
perhaps an hour on the tragic ground,
the boy, creeping softly to the river, pro-
cured pirogue, and slowly hoated down
stream to lower landing. Sinking on
board the steamer Mayfower, he found
himself in the midst of his enemies, fif-
teen Of them, armed with shot-guns.-
While standing in bewilderment, one
man, worthy of the name Eve wish we
dared to give IT'D touched him, and the
two walked toward the engine-room.-
He was quickly directed to the hold, .
couple of bales Of cotton were carelessly
rolled over the hatch, and the escape
was accomplished. The party left the
boat in squads of three or four on the
way down the river.

il is a wool of strong fibre and does
not shrink so much in proportion to
other woods when made into cloth as some
repute it to. As to sheep taking cold
when sheared in April, | never had any
trouble, and it costs much less to shear
them. l shall thus practice, for l can
make the most money out of it.
HENRY PAGE.-I practice washing,
shear in or 6 days afterwards. | know
nothing of shearing in the dirt. | think
as it regards washing or not washing it
depends more upon the breed of the
sheep. l would wash as early as posi-
BILE and when | did, as the sheep come
from the water would not fail to squeeze
all the water from the wool / could to
tighten their burden, and to enable them
TO dry sooner.
o. L. FIsHER.-I favor the idea of
,hearing in April, We have sheared late
and turned those sheep into the same
pasture with those sheared early in the
dirt and the latter done much the best,
stood storms best and it is less labor
and expense to shear early and often
saves pulling wool, besides much spoiled
aud lost in pasture &c.
CAPT. TrrcoMB.-What course shall
we pursue to get the most profit Some
say shear in April without washing, 9th
ers say later and wash; but the main
question is how shall we elevate the
standard of Vermont wool? for our rep
utation is not as good as once; we have
been on the downhill side now how shall
we reclaim ourselves that we may again
stand to the head. think if we unite
in securing the right kind of sheep that
grow good long staple wool with no more
grease than to make it pliable and soft,
healthy and vigorous leaving the sheep
of good constitution, we shall again see

Cleansing the blood upon which
