HORRIBLE DEATH.

On Wednesday afternoon, the 23rd
inst, Thomas Alexander Neff, aged II
years, the only son of Conrad Neff, re-
siding aJ Eckels or Workman's Mill on
Little McMahon's Creek, left his home
and started out into the woods to hunt.
He took with him an old flint lock gun,
and powder-horn filled with powder,
hung to his side. Sometime during the
afternoon as Moses Workman an uncle
of the lad, was driving across his farm
he heard cries of distress in the ravine
some distance off. Leaving his team he
proceeds in the direction of the cries,
when he met a boy almost in nude
state, his body blackened and chared and
the flesh hanging in shreds from his arm,
sides and breast, who at first, was unrec-
ognizable, but on being asked by Mr..
Workman who he was, answered: Don't
you know Bub Neff? as quickly as pos
sible he was placed into the wagon and
taken to the house of Mr.. Workman, and
Drs, Piper and Mitchell, of Glencoe,
called, who made haste TO relieve the
sufferer by every means at their dispo-
sal. He was beyond medical skill. For
thirteen hours he suffered excruciating
pain and expired on Thursday morning.
The young man was so dreadfully
burned and so bewildered with pain that
it was scarcely possible for him to give
an intelligent account Of the circumstan-
ces of the accident. He remembered
that he shot ground squirrel, and
knew nothing further until he found his
clothing on fire. He tore a portion of
his clothes from his body, then rolled
upon the ground to extinguish the flame;
failing to put out the fire he ran to a
small stream a quarter Of a mile off and
dashed into the water, thus succeeding
in extinguishing the fire. 1t supposed
that the fash of the powder from the
pan of the flint lock, sent a spark into
the horn and caused it to explode, and
that the conclusion was so great as to
render the young man senseless and
helpless, until the devouring flame had
made him its victim. The bereaved
parents have but one child left them, a
twin sister of deceased Belmont

Secret service Detective Potter, has at
last ferreted out the secret of this mys-
terious murder. Kelley, the son of Mr..
Nathan's house-keeper, admitted three
men into the house at night, and at one

4 FONDERFCL MISSION IN BELFAST,
IRELAND.
Eroa a e.rre.rOadsn. Of the Freemaa.

FROM a correspondent OF the Freeman.
The great mission of the Oblate Fathers
IN Belfast " as brought to q clcse on Sunday
afternoon. The success that crowned the
labors of the missioners amongst US was
great beyond all expectation, and must
prove an immense comfort "a we'll to the
pious laborers themselves, as to our excel
leut bishop aud clergy, who invited them
to the Northern capital. Daring the entire
four weeks that the mission lasted the CON
fessionals were surrounded from A. u,
until eleven p. n by crowds OF eager peli
tents ; and at the evening services the elk
Catholic churches of Belfast were unable
to accommodate the multitudes that came
to hear the Word of God. On Sunday
evening the mission exercises were brought
to 8 solemn termination at 3 I. NJ. for the
women, and at r. NJ for the mon. At each
of the sacred ceremonies every ope of the
six churches WAS filled to ite utmost ca
pAcity, and over 40 600 of the Catholics of
Belfast must have on that day solemniy
renewed their vows of Baptism. This i'm
pressive ceremony of the renewal of the
vows will long be remembered in Belfast
as the fitting crowniDg of the great work
of the mission. Many ProtestSnts and
Presbyterians assisted occasionally at the
mission exercises. Some have been received
into the Catholic Church, aud all have been
favorably impressed with what they saw
and heard. During the entire month, not
q werd fell from any of the preachers that
could be interpreted as offensive to or even
As aggressive on the convictions of those
outside the Church. The missioners, in
deed, seemed all to feel that they came
amongst ne not TO make proselytes, but to
stir up faith and piety in the hearts of their
own CO. religiOnists. Whilst they 60 away
from as, therefore, accompanied by the
heartfels blesaings of all the Catholics Of
Belfast, they do not leave behind them q
single angry feeling in the hearts of those
who are not Of the Catholic church.
