MURDER AND DSUICIDE.-SOme time ago
man named Henry Yuus was sent to the
penitentiary, from Belmont County, for
manslanghter. His conduct while in
prison was so exemplary that he was re-
commended for a pardon, the more espe-
clally III his confinement, it was stated,
was undermining his health. During
his absence from home, his cousin, we
are Informed, man named Moses Kline,
became very Intimate with Yuus' wife.
The pardon came to the convict and he
llnstened to his home in Heurysbure, on
the pike, few miles West of st. Cinirs-
vile, when he learned that his wife had
been false, and that Kline was her be-
trayer.
On Thursday evening last he met
Kline III snloon, we understand, and,
drawing revolver. he shot him through
the breast, the ball passing in Just below
tho heart. The wounded man very
coolly walked out of the saloon, and told
some gentlemen he met thut Yuus had
shot him. While they were proposing
to him to go for n physician, Kline fell
to the ground and had to be carried to O.
surgeon. While the doctor was examin-
ing the wound. some Que suggested that
Yans should be captured, aud search
was instituted. He was found in the So
loon dead. He had blown his own
brnins out.
