THE UALIFAY MURDER.

The town Of Halifax, where the late murder
Of the Sturtevant brothers was committed, is
small place in Plymouth county, Mass The
homestead where the deed was done is liz.
tie over seven miles from the Bridgewater de-
pot. There were neighbors within twenty
rods. The following particulars we find in
the Boston Advertiser:
The murdered people, Thomas and Simeon
Sturtevant and Miss Mary Buckley, lived in
an old-fashionsd two. story farmhouse in the
town OF Halifax, about six miles from Bridge
water. Thomas Stertevsnt, the elder brother
was about ssventy-fve years of age, while
Simeon was five years his junior, Miss Buck
ley was seventy, and acted as a sort of a'nurse
to Simeon. who suffered from brain disease.
All lived together in a misery way, and
we're known to hoard money. The Sturte-
wants were born and have lived all their life
time in Halifax. Miss Buckley has been with
them about ten years.
The Hrst to discover the murder was S. p.
Lull, q neighbor, who was crossing u field at
the side Of the house on Monday morning.
rhen he found the body Of Miss Buckley lying

CrBRENCY DISTRIBUTION.

The proposition to redistribute the cur
rency of the country, taking twenty-five
million dollars from New England ana
o;r;nc II to the South and West. brings
out the views of senators upon the SUD-
;ect. Those who are for imitation are con-
tent to leave the banks of New England
as thew are, taking away none of the cur
rencv from this section; but, they propose
what is far worse, to increase the currency
and place the amount of the increase IN
southern and western localities. Against
this seductive proposition the New Eng
land members stand firm, declaring that
they prefer to part with the twenty hVe
million from our banks, rather than keep
it by conserving to the demand ior more
currency. In debate in the Senate on
Tnesdav Mr.. Morton disclaimed the idea
that any attack was intended upon New
England in regulating the distribution OF
the currency, but his kindness and con-
sideration for New England all turned up
on the idea that she should not be stripped
of her currency provided the South and
West could be supplied by an additional
issue.
In reply to him Mr.. Hamlin is reported
as saving that he was disposed to give the
South and West more banks, but he would
vote to take fifty million dollars fiom New
England and give it to other sections, be-
fore he would vote to increase the ire
deemable paper currency one dollar. New
England organized these banks to aid the
Government when it was rocking to its
yery centre. They claimed that this cir
culation was worth something now, and it
would be unfair to take it away. How
ever. rather than meet the hazards and
evils of giving more irredeemab!e paper
currency, he would vote to take away
from New England more than that pro-
posed by this bill. The question as to in
creasing the currency might as well be
met here and now. 1t was the labor OF
the country which must furnish the means
to paw the Indebtedness of the country, and
if the currency be increased, the time for
payment would be prolonged. We had
partially got out Of the terrible calamities
of the war, and he asked if it would be
wise to increase the volume of currency,
and thus 60 over the ground again which
had been already trodden. He thought it
unwise that the Senate ofthe United States,
as reasonable, sane men, when the sun OF
the nineteenth century is going down,
should be here asking for more irredeem-
able paper money. When the door should
be open to such currency without limita-
ton he gave notice that those States now
having an excess of currency would es-
tablish four banks 10 one established in
the States now having less than their pro-
portion.
We trust Mr.. Hamlin will stick to the
ground taken in his remarks Ii is the
safe and honest policy, to which Congress
must come sooner or later.

nesr a fence on path leading to the house OF
Mrs. Blake, whose residence she was in the
habit of frequently visiting. The back o1 her
skull was crushed, and her face had Deen
driven into the soil by the blows. Mr.. LUZ
aroused the neighbors, and on entering Tue
house of the Sturtevants the body OF the clder
brother met their view, face downward Tue
skull completely crushed behind the cars
Entering the west front room, where simeon
slept, another sickening sight was presented.
The face and skull of the old man was te1ri-
bly mangled and broken, and there was not
whole bone in the face, which was marked by
three heavy blows of the fatal Instruments
newly cut birch sled stake, about four feet
long, slightly bent.
The time of the murder must have been
about ten o'clock on Sunday night, and the
object for whict the murderer came-money
was not probably gratified, perhaps because
of vehement. In Simeon's trunk were found
oG85 SO in silver, Slo20. 95 in bills and scrip,
and notes due for S2l42 In Thomas's
trunk were Sss0s3 in bills, and S2G7.55 in
silver. In Miss Buckley's draw were SIS in
go!d and SIS in bills, and gold watch
The Sturtevants owned large farm OF
valuable land, and Miss Buckley had about
$1,000 in three savings banks-two in this city
and one in Providence. The murderer prob.
her to Mr.. Blake's, and after killing Thomas
at the kitchen door, numbering Simeon as he
lay asleep, met Miss Buckley coming back
and struck her dead, leaving his weapon be-
side her. He then re-entered the house and
partially ransacked it-probably fleeing. how
ever from fear-before this part of his in
tended work was accomplished.
The Stur,evants have brother living, and
several nephews and neces, and were counted
tie wealthiest citizens in Halifax. Miss Buck
ley has sister said to be living in California,
but cousin arrived yesterday afternoon to
take charge of the remains. She was well
known for acts Of charity, and belonged to
charitable associations of Bridgewater She
mad distant relatives in Bridgwater. Ofcourse
the detectives worked hard to fathom the
deed, and the first person to whom suspicion
was directed was a nephew of Thomas Stur-
tevant, who bears bad character, having
been on the school ship, and in Plymouth Jail.
His name is William +. Sturtevant. and he
resides in North Hanson. The detectives
took him yesterday to the scene of the trag
edy, and severely questioned him, but he was
very reticeDt and denied all knowledge.
There did not seem to be enough circumstan-
tial evidence against him to warrant an arrest,
but the detectives detained him. and have him
virtually in custody. Money which is similar
to that found in the house was passed by
Young Sturtevant, On Monday evening, and,
it is said, more was found in his possession.
Others in authority believe that Sturtevant
did the deed, or was prompted to do it by
others.
The act causes widespreading excitement,
and is the second sensation in Halifax during
the past thirty years
