An Infant Murderer.
fE-Dm the vickshurO Herald

A few miles from this city. on the oppo-
site side Of the river, is Mr.. George Hum
phrey's plantation, known as the Dalkieth
place. on which there are several cOlOred
families living. The pride of one Of these
families is a very precociOus little six-year
old boy. whose sprightliness and intelli-
gence have been the joy and admiration Of
knew the little fellow. Some time ago a
little stranger appeared in the family to
claim part of the love and care Of the
parents and divide the parental affection
with tho little slx-year old. He had no
love fOr the baby. was Jealous of it. and
its presence in the family was a stin. in
his Little breast. In his own childish way
he brooied over the matter for some time.
and seemed finally to decide upon course
OF action.
Day before yesterday, while tho men
were in the field at work, and the women
either with them or engaged elsewhere the
children were left alone about the cabins to
amuse themselves az they might see tit.
The mother of the infant and the little six
year Old had left the baby snugly slowed
away III the cradle asleep. and her little
boy in the yard playing with the other chill.
irel when she went away. She had scarce.
IL gotten ont of sight, when the little boy
gathered up brickbat. almost as much as
he could carry, and, walking into the
cabin where the baby lay began to pelt it
over the head with the brick until he ac
tually succeeded in breaking the infants
skull. and MASKING it almost to a iellv.
He then managed to get the child OFT Of
the cratic. and dragged its hteless body 10
the woods short distance from the house,
where he md the body in the bushes. and
returning TO his playmates said to them: II
beeve till ole baby He then led them to
the spot where he had left the infant lying.
and sure enough there lay the little limo
cen: viii, its head crushed, and life extinct.
When it is considered that the perpetrator
Of this most foul and atrOcious crime is only
six years old. it almost staggers belief. and
we can scarcely credit our own senses. The
little fellow did not seem to realize that he
had committed murder, or that he had
done anything more than dispose of Dis.
agreeable rival to his own advantage. His
parents. who are honest. Woodworking COL
Ored people. are in great distress over the
affair. but the little criminal is stoically in
different and apparently unconscious.
