A PARALLEL TO THE WEST CAsE.-The
Wilmington and Chester county papers had
exciting articles on Monday about a horrible
murder that had just come to light near
Oxford, Pa. a short distance above the Della
ware line. The particulars are as follows:
On the 3Oth Of June last, a young man, who
stated that he was an agent from Baltimore,
put gave no name, took up his quarters at a
hotel IN Jennerville, Chester county. The
next day William g. Undertook drove up to
the hotel, and invited the agent to take a ride,
which the latter accepted. This was the last
seen OF the stranger alive, aud it is known that
Undertook lett the neighborhOOd very abrupt
ly. On the llth inst, it was noticed by man
that n large number of buzzards were lowering
ABOUT the woods, short distance off Newport
and Gap pike. The man went to the place
and toun1 unearthed the head and BODY of
man, and his arms and legs which were sepa-
rated from the body. He gave notice to the
neIghborhood, and the horribly mutilated body
was eventually recognized as that of the
stranger who had been stopping at Jennervile
he murdered man was stabbed in three or
four places and his throat was cut Both arms
and both legs were severed close to the body,
the operation having been performed in far
from bungllhg manner. Undertook cannot
De found. He IL, or was till lately, on the
Baltimore police force. He is young and has
red whlskers. There were no clothes to be
found except shoes. 1t is reported that the
man was known to have a considerable sum
of money.

The Journal concludes as follows:
1T Is demonstrated by experience that
railroad running out of New York to another
large city is sure to pay handsomely if well
managed. Hence there is no probability of
our getting more railroads to Southern cities
than we can support. The question whether
the railroads will divert the trade of the coast
steamers is difficult one. AS to passenger
travel, the man who has time to make it, and
wants to take the sea trip, will 60 that way

and the railroad people think they will make
enough on dry goods and light packages to
compete with the steamers in heavy freights.
But the steamship folks seem to be doing we'll
