A St. Peter dispatch of the 10th says.
One Of the most frightful murders that ever
tookplace in this part of the country, took
place at Corralline station on Saturday even
ing last. AGerman named Schumacher invited
several Of his friends to a merrymaking his
house, but for a reason of his own did not in
vite two boys named Morton, who thereupon
became very angry, and after the dancing had
commenced they approached the house with
clubs, threatening to kill all who approached.
Schumacher began to demonstrate with them
upon which they set upon him., inficting
wounds of which he died this morning. The
boys fed, but were captured near Mankato,
and will, doubtless suffer the extreme penalty
of the law.

ment, was assassinated May IA, at Yokohama
Japan. He was attacked by six men while
riding from his residence to the palace at s
O'Clock M. The murderers selected an un
frequented part Of the route, cut down his
horse, killed the driver and slaughtered their
victim as he sprang from the carriage. The
body was freightfully mutilated, the face and
neck covered with wounds, and one hand cut
off. The assassins Immediately proceeded to
the palace and gave themselves up. They
proved to be fanatical followers of the late
rebel Saigo, although not from his part of
the country. Two of them wrote a letter and
sent it to anewspaper before setting out, de-.
claring their reasons. They say Okubo is
selfish and tyrannical, preferring despotism to
liberty, oyerrides law at pleasure, is arbitrary
and proud, wastes the public money, excludes
patriots from share in the government, thus
exciting rebellion, and fails to sustain the dig
nifty Of the empire towards other nations
Therefore they kill him. The seventh accom-
plice surrendered himself.
