TAMwoRTH IRON Works, N. H., Aug 9Th
This morning, about 10 o'clock just as the
church bell was ringing, the quiet of our little
village was disturbed by the dreadful intelli-
gcncc that a man had been shot at Ch0cOrua
Lake, one and onchalf miles north of the vii
lage. As Mr.. Paul Williams of Albany, sc-
companied by a younger brother and a man
by the name OF Head, was passing the lake
Oh his way to the house o. Williams father,
young Williams and Head prepared to take IA
bath, Paul remaining in the road holding the
horse. G. w. Cone who lived near the lake,
came out and ordered them to leave. Paul
replied as soon as the boys were ready he
would go, but they were doing him do harm
there. Some other words passed between them
when Cone said, avn see whether you will
leave or not, " and ran for the house, appear
ing in moment with his gun, and, deliber.
ately taking aim, fired. The gun was loaded
with coarse shot, which entered Williams's
mouth, carrying away the lower jaw aud
tongue the neck and breasts were filled with
shot Williams died in about two minutes
after he was shot. e..
The men from the village at once tusned
out, and SURROUNDED Cones house demanded
the murderer. The house having been secure
ly barricaded the doors were broken open, and
the men entering, began searching, Go ne's
wife declaring all the while he was not there.

in the attic in a hole to all appearances made
for hiding place. He is now in custody and
waits trial he has young wife and infap
boy. The murdered man leaves 6. wife and 1t

of an United States Court, and, at
the same time, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
and, as such, preside at the open

Convention at Charlestown in 1850
1t was all right for the Speaker of
the National House Of Representa-
