A NVISCOHsi.l TRAGEDY.

A dispatch from Glen Haven. Wis,
of FRIDAY, gives the following account Of
the killing of Senator Young by his son,
which was mentioned by our dispatches
at the time:
The excitement in this part of the
State over the terrible tragedy ct the
Young form, three miles from this place,
is intense, and hundreds Of people from
the surrounding towns have visited the
scene of the occurrence Ex Senator
NJ. K Young, Of this (Grant) county,
has, or rather had. four sons, TWO vi
whom, Albert and Marion, kept store
in this village Albert had always been
regarded as reckless young man, and
short time ago it WAS discovered that
he had been forging the name Of Joseph
Gockels to various checks drawn on the
First National Bank of McGregor. IL
was generally supposed that Senator
Young would "set!le" the matter in some
way, but it appears that he was rather
averse to such proceeding, and pre-
fcrred that the law should take its course.
This was evidently contrary to what the
| hopeful son expected, and 80 enraged him
that he threatened his fathers life, and
| he left for the farm to execute his threat.
When he approached the house the IA
ther evidently had foreboding of the
parricide's intention, and locked himself
in q room. But Albert, determined not
TO be frustrated, forced the door, where
upon the father fed by the back door,
hastily pursued by his offspring who be
gan to empty his revolver at him. Sew
eral of the balls had taken effect, when
Mr.. Young also drew revolver and re-
turned the fire, one OF the balls taking
effect in Albert's abdomen, but without
disabling him or cooling his hellish de-
sire for murder. When both hac dis
charged the contents of their reyolvers,
father and son came to close quarters,
but the former was so weakened from
the loss of blood that he fell to the
ground, while the latter picked up q
hatchet lying near, and began to hack
: away at his fathers head as if he were
: I.dispatching some wild beast. Members
of the family, and neighbors who had
been attracted by the report of The re.
volvers, now hurried to the scene, but
3 before they could lay hands on tie muir
derer he had reloaded his revolver. and
e dragging himself to a neighboring field,
tput the muzzle Of the weapon to his
head and blew out his miserable brains
Surgical aid was called as soon as pos.
sibe, and it was found that four bullets
: had entered the old gentleman's head,
besides the numerous wounds made by
the hatchet. The bloody instrument is
; in the hands of the authorities. 1t is
literally covered with the gray hairs OF
: the aged parent At last accounts Sen
: ator Young was still alive, bu, no hope
/. was entertained Of his recovery. 1t is
4 rumored that all the members of the
s family will be taken into custody.

pgA company of Woodsfield lovers
of fish and fishing have placed in Sun
fish Creek thirty four fine specimens of
grass bass, with view of stocking the
creek. These fish were caught near
FRANK FLINr's mill on Muskingum
Creek, and we're brought here on Satur-
day, all in tip-top condition The largest
would weigh about a pound, and they
ranged from this down to FIVE or six
ounces.
They were carefully placed in Sunfish
Creek, in the large hole below HENRY
WINLANB's house. Mr. WlNDLANr
agrees to do what he can to protect them
though it is hard TO believe that any one
would be base enough to disturb them
until they have chance to breed.
If they are allowed fair chance, it is
thought in three or four years the creek
will contain more fish than the oldest IN
habitant ever saw there. They are won

Eg Supervisors of the County Con.
vention have the power, under the law,
to administer an oath to young men,
where there is question about their
age, that they are 2l years old, or will
be against the October election, 1875
also to those who they do not know to
be Democrats, that they voted the Dem
ocrstic State Ticket at the election held
in October, 1874, and are Democrats :
The penalties imposed by the law fol
receiving votes in either of the cases
cited are severe, and Supervisors should
observe great care and refuse to receive
all such votes.
