Three Persons Murdered for $ll.

CINCINNATI, O., June 25-One of the most
atrocious crimes ever committed in Ohio has
just been perpetrated in Hamilton county, near
the village of Gore Mr.. John Weldon, an old
man, thrifty farmer, his wild owed sister. Mrs.
McClary, also elderly, and her daughter, Nancy
Hite, young lady, were killed in cold blood
with gun and an axe. VIM. Trrell and JOS
eph King, it appears, agreed to commit the
murder for the money which MIR. Weldon was
supposed to keep in his house. They met him
half mile from the house, shot him twice and
then nearly beheaded him with a corn cutter.
They then went to his house and killed the
two women with an axe, splitting their heads
and nearly decapitating them. Tirrell has
confessed. There is strong prospect that
these bloody miscreants will be lynched. They
obtained just eleven dollars.

Disustfous Kahn Storm in RueEos Ayres.
WASHINGTON, June pa letter received at
the State Department. from the consul at
Buenos Ayres, dated the 18th ult.. gives in
formation concerning one of the heaviest and
most disastrous rain storms which ever occur
red in that country. 1t was almost continuous
for several weeks, and throughout the province
of Buenos Ayres the pampas were flooded and
drowned out. The damage to estancios and
sheep farms was immense. The consul saws
that the losses of cattle, horses and sheep can
only be estimated, but amounts to hundreds of
thousands if not millions of heads. Arrivals
of interior products have greatly fallen off in
consequence of this extraordinary rain, and
nearly all the wool in the market was sold
Cowhldes and tallow have risen to high prices
owing to the war.

breaking Of harness buckle The story Of
the march is as follows; Capt. Fuller order

aud marched at la. IN. The first march with
out halt was 20 miles, on a muddy road to
Wilmington, doing the whole distance in the
handsome time of eight hours. At Whining
ton the battery was received with perfect
ovation, the people coming in from all direc-
tions to greet them with cheers and laughter,
the enthusiasm reminding the veterans in
the command Of the first "Peninsula" cam

trabands, "Gustavus Orange Blossom and
''Adolphus Morning Glory" crowed with de-
lightfrom every fence top, and grinned broad
ly from every tree crotch. At Wilmington
the command halted for two hours at "the
Soldiers Rest, 'better known as the Vermont
House. The march from Wilmington to the
top Of the mountain was enlivened by short
but smart shower, aud Woodford City, dis
lance of fourteen miles was made in FIVE
