A North Carolina Horror.

New YORK, July ia dispatch
from Raleigh, North Carolina, states
that most inhuman murder, commit.
ted in this country in March last, has
just come to light. Scott Portin, a
white man, cut his wife's throat, and
then cut her head of, unjointed her at
every joint, then cut the flesh off of her
bones, and attempted to burn the body
up, but did not succeed. Then he muir
dered his little boy, a child eight months
old, in the same manner, and buried the
two bodies in marsh where they were
found last week by the infuriated neigh
bors. The circumstances show that
Portin's father and one OF bis brothers
were accessory to the murder.

The ..Independenr press Again,

We have recently tried to express
some views on the subject of "independ:
entjournalism," and especially in regard
TO class of papers pretending to that ii;
tie, which are discreditable to the profess
sion. We find in recent number of the
New York Tribune our ideas better pre-
sented than We were able to do it, and we
copy aportion of the article in which they
appear.
1t is almost universally conceded that
the Tribune stands at the head of the in.
dependent press, if not at the head of the
entire press of the country. Its views on
this subject therefore carry with them a
force which scarcely any other paper
can command.
There are precisely such papers as
those described by the Tribune, and to
the shame Of the intelligence and morals
Of the country, it must be admitted that
they find kindred constituency.
The Tribune says:
"In this growing independence of the
press the great embarrassment comes
from those who emancpate themselves
not so much from partisanship as from
decency, and do their best to obliterate
the distinction between the manly indie
pendence which spring, from honest con.
victions and the reckless violence which
has no better inspiration than personal
malice or the lust Of money. There are
papers which have never a good word for
any living man. Like the strumpets of
Greene street, who lean from their win
dows and assail every passer-by with FL
thy epithets, reserying their choicest
blackguardisms for those who will not
notice them, they may easily make them
selves public nuisances, but they can do
no one any actual injury. They may call
this public officer q thief and that one a
drunkard they may accuse one of cor.
ruption and another Of conspiracy; they
may shout that yonder reformer is hyp
ocrite, and the quiet citizen over there an
emissary of the devil /; but who stops to
listen to the chatter of such venem Gus
tongues? May be, in such torrent of
indiscriminate abuse, the virago has acci.
dentally vented little truth, for if you
throw mud at everybody the chances are
that some of it will stick but what good
can it do2 People go their way without
caring to ask what all the noise is about,
until by and by the police are called in to
qnell the disturbance.
"This sort of libel, however. upon an
honorable profession is not independent
Journalism, nor an outgrowth of it; it lis
not journalism at all. 1t has existed ever
since the periodical press came into exist
ence it is found in many countries and
under many political conditions; and we
must bear with it as one of the necessary
evils of modern civilization, which we can
partly suppress, just as We do theft and
murder, but never entirely abolish" !.

European Grain Prospects.

The latest Russian advices, under date
of June l6, indicate a further material
change for the worse in the prospects
of the wheat crop. The Polish. and
Bessarabian crops are expected to be a
failure and Polish, Odessa and red win
ter wheats are withdrawn from the mar
ket and warehoused on speculation. In
one or two districts fair yield may be
realized t.
The French and German crops are
not promising, but the crop prospects
of the British Isles are reported on
more favorably. 3.
The average yield in the Russian dis
tricts where failure OF the crop is pre-
dicted has not been of much Importance
but the aggregate Russian crop, which
is the most important in Europe, if not
in the world, does not promise as well
as last year. 5s -.r,

July 7, 1875.
Death is a solemn thing. That grim
monster which is abroad in our land,
staying hundreds upon hundreds; that
which often takes our nearest and dear
est friend. We can imagine we hear the
splashing of the oars while the messen-
ger is bearing them over the river
Death comes to the young as we'll as the
old. Perhaps the young lady in the
bloom of youth, or the young man in
the pride of life, the aged father OF
mother,or the little infant snatched from,
its mothers bosom How careful then
ought we to be in remembering our Gre
ator in the days of our youth, when the
evil days come not
At Cameron, Monroe County, Ohio.
ELLEN, wife of JOHN BoUGHNER, depart
ed this life. She was we'll respected by
all who knew her, and had faithfully fol-
lowed our lord Jesus Christ. She was
in the pride of life when she was brought
down to the bed Of affection, where she
lay many weeks, till God, through his
infinite wisdom, saw fit to send the mes
senger and release the dove-like spirit
from the prison.house of pain, to taste
of the jpys and mingle in the melody of
Heaven. She who had walked hand in
hand with God was enabled to say, at
the departure Of life, "Come, welcome
death, thou end of years l am prepared
to CO." We have reason to believe that
she is in the paradise Of peace. We at
tended when the body was committed to
the earth, ana while we listened to the
healing words of the inspired volume,
saw friends weeping and heard the clods
of the valley as they fell in the grave, it
thrilled our souls to think we were so
fast Fastening to the narrow limits Of the
tomb. May God bless US and save US
