a YOUNG FARMER NJ RDERED AND HIS BODY
PLACED UPON THE RAILROAD TRACK.-A
special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette from
Fort Wayne, May 10, says: 1.-The man who was
run over Saturday night by freight train near
Van Vert, Ohio, has been identified by means
of a large silver ring he wore on the little I'm
ger, and proves to he jefferson Garrettson, a
young farmer about q years of age, living a
few miles from that place, and but lately mar
ried. He left Van Vert late Saturday night
for his home, starting down the track, having
over Sl00 on his person No trace OF the money
has been discovered. This, and a heavy club
covered with CONCEALED blood being found in q
ditch close to the body where it was run over,
leads to the conviction that the unfortunate
man had been murdered and robbed, and then
placed on the track TO cover up the traces of
the crime. Suspicion Immediately fell upon two
men named VIM. Cramer and John b. Smith,
and they were arrested and lodged in jail TO
await examination, which will take place on
Thursday. The citizens are greatly excited,
and no doubt is entertained but Garfettson was
murdered and robbed by these two men, and

The Penitpntiary.

The forty y-fourth annual report of the in
spectors of the Eastern Penitentiary has
just appeared. The cost of support for
1872 was 81 cents day for each prisoner
Of this, however, 81 cents per day was
chargeable to items of fuel and gas light
During the year 1872 there were received
226 prisoners and 217 were discharged
The whole population for the year was $40.
The prisoners received were thus divided,
as to sex and color, viz. 1877 white. males,
white females SO black males, / black
female and the 217 discharged consisted
of 1856 white males, white females, and
2S black males.
OF the 226 persons received, 9S could
read, write and cipher 113 went to school,
and 40 to Sunday school, 80 had moral
training in their youth; 7had business
education ; 104 went to public schools 8 to
private schools.
OF the 226 received, SO were minors 1913
unapprenticed; 18 apprenticed, and left
before their term of apprenticeship expired,
and 10 served out their term 20 had been
in the House of Refuge; 16 had been in
Congregate Prisons, and % had before
been in the penitentiary.
OF the 226 received in 1872, were under
18 years of age 80 between IS and 81 ; 70
between 81 and 25; so between 25 and 30 ;
"a between 80 and 35; Is between 80 and
40; 10 between As and 50 bctweed 80
and 60; and between GO and 70 years Of
age.
The labor of the prisoners has been salts
factory, when it is considered that so large
number of young prisoners are received
who have no trade, and many Others never
learned any handcraft occupation. Nearly
all these prisoners are taught trade while
in prison not a part of one, in connection
with machinery, which manufactures the
other parts, but trade in all its parts, by
which an honest livelihood may be obtained
on their discharge from punishment.
The physical and mental health of the
228 prisoners received was found, on ex-
animation, to have beer on reception as
follows: 80 were in impaired physical
health ; % in impaired mental condition.
AS to the health of prisoners discharged
in 1872, 81 had been received in impaired
81 of whom were discharged cured and oi
the remaining "a, were improved and 1S
died.

thirty persons were upon II, looking at the

A Building Falls In.

A dispatch from Middletown, Conn,
dated the 9th inst, says A terrible ac-
cident occurred here this afternoon. The
nearly completed brick building known as
the Shepard Block fell in, burying under
the ruins fifteen men. All business was
suspended, and the people Immediately
gathered at the spot, and commenced the
work of taking out the dead. Six bodies
have been recovered up to the present time.
The following are their names: Elizur H.
Harrison, James Tyron, John Kelly, Owen
Sullivan, Julius Phelps and Joel Shepard.
The latter is a brother of the builder. Two
or three others received slight injuries.
At $3.50 O'Clock two hundred men were
hard at work rescuing those who were still
in the wreck, and it is expected that two or
three more bodies will be found. The Fire
Department did good service. The Mid
dletown National Bank building was slight
ly injured by the accident, portion of the
block having fallen on it. Shepard Block
was located on the site of the old North
Congregational Church, between the Post
Office and Middletown Bank. When COM
pleted the building would have cost about
$4,000, and it is probable that $40, 900 had
been already expended upon it. The eel
lar was dug during the winter, and prop
ably the accident was caused by this fact.
Two ladies passing in front of it when the
accident occurred escaped without injury,
as did some Of the inmates, among them
the builder who says he wishes he "had
been buried with the Others in the ruins

Surrounded by Fire.

The town of Gordansville, Va, is nearly
surrounded by fire, tho timber on all sides
being in flames. The entire population
are panic-stricken. Some families are
leaving their homesto avoid destruction.
The FIRE commenced south of the village on
the farm of Mr. Michel, in the Green Spring
neighborhood, and swept across the rail
road track at Meltons, a station on the @.
and o. r. r., three miles south of this
place, destroying the station, dwelling
house, and everything in its path. The
railroad track is rendered impossible, and
trains win be detained probably for hours.
The fires have swept nearly all the fencing,
&C., in its path, and has caused great de-
struction to timber houses, sc, The loss
is heavy in the mountains and along the
line Of the o. and M, Railroad, and G. o.
Railroad Companies. The latter will lose
heavily on wood and buildings.
