Murder and suicide.

DELIBERATE PREPARATIONS BY AN INDIANA FARM
Err TO H. HIS WHOLE FAMIIY-DEATH or TWO
OF THE CHILDREN AND sUGcIDE or THE MURDER
Err.
David Robinson went to Kokomo, Ind, on
Tuesday, and bought new suit of clothes
and revolver, after which he went home showed
the purchases to his family, and ate his supper.
Robinson was in .good humor and appeared
perfectly sane. He remarked to his wife that
it would have been well if little Dan
(his son) had died two weeks ago, and said he
had attempted to kill the child. He then drew
his revolver and fired at a second son, who was
crying in bed, and then turned and shot at his
wife. Mrs. Robinson ran ont of the house, and
the oldest boy, eight years of age, started to
follow, when his father shot him in the face, but
the ball glanced off without wounding him badly.
The father then struck him on the back of the
head with chair, but the son succeeded in get
ting out with his mother. Robinson then delib-
erately took razor, approached the bed, in
which lay his only daughter, seized and cut her
throat from ear To car lie followed this muir
der by taking the life of the son,
whom he had first shot in bed, in the same
manner, after which Robinson jumped on his
horse and fled. His dead body was found OH
Wednesday, one mile north of Jackson Station, oil
the indianapolis, Peoria and Chicago Railroad
1t is supposed he committed suicide.

FORESHADOWING THE PRESIDENTIAL
VOTE-A REPUBLICAN SUCCESS INDICAT-

Ell.
The New York Herald makes tables Of the elec-
toral vote for President, indicated by the lat
eat elections in the several States footing up lsS
Democratic and 1s1 Republican votes. In the
main, it ia correct, but in some particulars not
80. Thus it puts Florida and New Hampshire
in the Democratic column, but why We do not
understand. Florida, at her last general cleo
ton, gave 1854 Republican majority, and
New Hampshire, last March, gave more
votes to the Republican than to the DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor, (though, as an
actual majority is required, there was no choice
by the people,) and elected Republican Legis-
lature. These States, with an aggregate OF 0
electoral votes (Florda 4, New Hampshire SD
belong to the Republican list, making the total
Republican vote 100, while the Democratic is
179. AS the Electoral College, in 1876, will be
composed of 800 votes, COB members of the
House of Representatives and 3S States, when
Colorado comes in. with two Senators each, max
ing 76 in all, a majority of the College will be
1856 votes, and this the Republicans have assured
to them by the showing which the late elections
have made.
But there is very important further consid-
Grafton in the matter. This is that only about
101 votes are at all to be relied on as Democrat

There is everything in young man begin
