Murder In Maryland.

YOUNG MILLER KILLED AND ROBBED OF $500.
BALTIMORE, April 9.
In Carroll county, near McKinsleys Mills, on
Friday last, Abraham Lynn, young man, oper
ating the Stoner Mil, on Sans Creek, was found
dead in his mill. The head was frightfully shat =
tered and the brains oozing out of the broken
skull, and the body rifled of $780, which tn o
murdered man was known to have in his posses =
sion few hours before he was missed.
Suspicion pointed to young man named Ds :
Wis, who was employed by Lynn, and slept in an
upper story Of the mill. From the evidence be :
fore the jury it appears that on Friday last, Mr..
Lynn exposed in the presence of Davis, $780,,
stating that it was to be paid to certain party
n the vicinity, and requested Davis to saddle a
horse and ride over to where the party lived.
Davis made show Of complying with the or
der Of Mr.. Lynn, but instead Of going after the
party for whom the money was to be paid he en-
tered the MILL knowing that Lynn was to be
there engaged in cleaning out sink or bin, and
the supposition is that after he had struck his
victim with the wooden bar that Lynn fell into
the bin, which the murderer sprang, and obtain
ed possession of the $500, and it is supposed
that in searching for the money that his hands
became covered with blood, and that he left ira
ces of the same in his room after he had washed
himself
Davis has been arrested

his pastoral charge at Taunton, Mass, is thus
noticed by one ef the newspapers of that town ;
''Rev Fielder Israel, pastor of the First Con-
gregational (Unitarian) society Of this city, has
placed the rerignation Of his pastorate in the
hands OF the Prudential Committee OF the soci-
ETY. to be bv them communicated to the annual
meeting Of the Parish. Mr.. Israel came to Taun-
ton from Wilmington, Delaware, in December

a prominent man in public affairs particularly
ON the school board, of which he has been very
useful member. He has also become widely
known among Freemasons from his connection
with that order. The removal OF Mr.. Israel from
this community will be public loss
by reference to our advertising columns, it
will be seen that a meeting is proposed to be
held ON Friday evening, in this city, to consider

nTru. Whnrtun,s NexI Trial.

The probabilities are that Mrs. Wharton's trial
for the attempted murder by poisoning of Mr..
Eugene Van Ness, will take place before the
circuit court of Anne Arundel county during
the approaching term. There is, Of course,
much speculation as to the trial of her case
being insisted upon by the states attorney, but
there is now no reason to believe that he will
consent to nolle proseqli. The next term Of
the court will begin on Monday, April IA, but
county business will take precedence, and Mrs.
Wharton's case will not be reached until the first
week in May. Mrs. Wharton confines herself
closely to her apartments at the house of Mr..
James O. Welsh, and her health is said to be very
delicate. Her daughter is often seen upon the
streets Of Annapolis in company with friends,
and her health has improved since her mothers

The Courts Of Sussex Co. commenced their
session, on Monday, in Georgetown, at II o'clock.
Chief Justice Gilpin, and Judges Houston and
Wales on the bench.
The charge of the Court to the Grand Jury
was very brief, there being bat few cases to
come before it, and they of no great Importance.
The Judge remarked that there had been great
change, especially in Sussex county. He had
been Attorney General for ten years. and had
now been on the bench fifteen years, and had
never known 30 few criminal cases, and those OF
80 trfing a character.
He called the attention of the Grand Jury to
the condition Of the Sussex County Alms-house,
and placed in their hands copy OF the Milford
heios. making statements as to the improper
conduct Of the institution, and also a copy OF
the SUSSEX Journal denying the charges. He
instructed the Jury to make appropriate inquiry
and report.
