SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
Vhe Victim Hauled Up Three
Times by the Neck.

About three miles west of Troy, Kanssi
there live two brothers by the name OF
Berry. With one of them young girl has
resided for some time, and for what reason
We know not, but the neighbcrs have sus.
pected that Berry was treating her as mis-.
tress. No demonstrations were made, how.
ever, until it was noised about the neighbor-
hood that the girl had rot been seen. The
people were aroused, search was instituted,
but no clue revealed itself az to the wherea-
bouts Of the girl. Su-picions of foul play
rapidly gained credence and all became
greatly inceneed. A mob collected, the rope
was placed about Berrys neck after the most
approved style of professional hangman,
and he vas ssked if he had anything to say.
He protested his innocence, but it availsd
him nothing. He was then drawn up by the
neck three times. .whena sense of justice pre-.
vailed and the victim wac allowed to depart.
The girl has not been heard from and the
affair still remains shrouded in mystery.

DEATH OF THE GREAT ASfERIC AN
SCULPTOR.

A dispatch from Florence, Italy, an.
nounces the death of Hiram Powers. the
great American sculptor. at o'clock on
the morning of the 9th ult., after a
lingering illness. Hiram Powers was
born at Woodstock, Vermont, July IS,
lso5. and at the time of his death had
lived within about two years OF the
allotted time OF man upon earth, three
score and ten. His father was farmer
IN poor circumstances, and he was early
taught to labor TO assist in maintaining
the family. His eldest brother, who was
man when Hiram was born, moved
west and subsequently became editor of
paper in Cincinnati, whittier the fam
lily removed. Hiram at an early age
began the battle Of life for himself. At
one time he was drummer for village
merchant; at another collector for q
clock maker and organ builder; at
length he went into the factory to work,
and there his ingenuity first showed it.
self, and he rapidly rose step by step
until he became foreman. His first idea
of sculpture was obtained from bust of
Washington, and his first attempt at the
art in which he has become famous was
with wax-a model of the head of babe
and his success was highly gratifying
At the age Of thirty he had won quite a
reputation. and it was proposed to send
him to Italy, but he was too proud to
accept the offer of means to do so. He
removed to Washington City and de-
voted himself to art While in Wash.
ington he modelled busts of j Q. Adams,
jackson, Van Buren,, Marshall, Webster
and Woodbury.. At the Federal Capital
he made the acquaintance OF Senator
Preston, of South Carolina, who, admir-
ing the genius of Powers, wrote to his
brother, General Preston, an immensely
wealthy man, asking him as a particular
favor to himself TO send the young artist
to Italy to complete his studies. Gen.
Preston responded by sending Powers
who had been ignorant of what his
friend had done a check for 81 900, and
an order for the same amount yearly as
long as he should remain abroad. The
act was so frank and generous that Pow
ers accepted the proffered aid. He rap
IDLY gained knowledge of the great art,
but one piece alone, (the Greek Slave, an
ideal work, executed in the moments of
lelsure) gave him the highest place
among the artists of the day. He had
lived over thirty-ive years in Italy, but
to the close of his life was an American
still, loving his native land with all the
iervor OF true patriot.

DEATH OF PRESIDENT GRANTS
FATHER.


In our telegraphic columns this morn
ing will be found Cincinnati dispatch
announcing the death Of Jesse r. Grant,
the aged and venerable father of the
President. An account of the death and
funeral of Mr.. Grant will be found under
the Geographic head. As the deceased
held no high official position which gave
his name place in any of the biograph-
isal works extant, we can give little of
ms antecedent history. He is the only
man who ever lived to see his son re-.
elected President of the United States.
He is regarded by those who knew him
as II man of great natural ability, mod
est and retiring, and strictly honorable
iShis dealings with the world. He was
about 50 years old.

PROPOSED BRILLIANT ILIuM1NArroy

PROPOSED BRILLIANT ILLuM1NArros. -
A Mr.. P. A. Vickers proposes to the
people of Oregon to illuminate the top
OF Mt. Hood on the night of the Fourth
OF July in such a manner that the light
will be witnessed by thousands in that
State as well as in Washington Terri
tory. For this magnificent display he
asks only slight remuneration, to be
paid upon the accomplishment of his
grand design" A writer in the Portland
Bulletin recommends Mr.. Vickers and his
scheme. =" II he fail, says the CORE
spondent, nothing will be lost to the
community. If he succeeds, Oregon, or
rather Portland, will have been instru-
mental in making the most signal and
gigantic pyrotechnic display the world
has perhaps ever seen on such an occa-
sion, and the investment by the Com
mittee will never be regretted. The con-
ditions are certainly moderate, and Mr..
Fickers will probably be told to 90 ahead
with his grand Illumination.
