The Rio Grande Massacre.
SLAUGHTER OF THE DowDY FAMILY By
MEXICAN RAIDERS.

SLAUGHTER OF THE DowDY FAMILY BY
MEXICAN RAIDERS.
Additional particulars fully confirm
the horrible massacre of the Dowdy fam
lily by raiders from Mexico, on the 5th
inst. The raiding party numbered thir-
teen, and, from the fact that none OF the
victims were scalped, it is believed they
were all Mexicans or under Mexican
leadership.
Two girls, aged fourteen and sixteen,
and boy aged twelve were killed out
right. The remaining girl, aged eigh-
teen, was still living when discovered, but
died few hours afterward. The wounds
were made by bullets. Several arrows
were also used, but, as it is a common
trick for the Mexicans to use arrows in
order to create the impression that they
are Indians, no weight is attached to this
circumstance. Some of the clothing OF
the children was taken.
The raiders stole one herd of horses
from the family, which had just moved
into the neighborhood few days before.
All this occurred fifteen miles from Kerr
vile and not more than sixty miles from
San Antonio, Texas.
News has been received of party of
about one hundred raiders from Mexico
being on the Lower Neuces, Three per-
sons have been murdered already near
Fort Ewell.

The Crum pton Excitement.
A BABY's sKE LEToN FOUND IN
CELLAR.

| The Centreville, Nd, Record, has the
following particulars in relation to the
recent discovery of the skeleton of an
infant In the cellar of house at Crump-
ton, Queen Anae's county:
An old house was torn down in the
village of Crumpton last week, in order
to build upon the site new one, when
those engaged in the work discovered
that porti on of the bricks which COM
posed the cellar floor had been removed
the earth dug up and loosened and the
spot covered wi tn rubbish Curiosity
led those engaged in the removal of the
old building to make more minute inves-
tigation. BY digging down few feet at
the place where the bricks had been re-
moved large tin can, such as is used by
grocers, which when opened was found
to contain the skeleton of an infant.
The attention of DIR. Walter G. Wallis
| was called to it and he gave it as his
opinion that the skeleton was that of a
well developed child. Rumors then flew
thick and fast, hut the authorities had
sufficient tangible evidence to warrant
an investigation. Justice w. d. Tar
button, came to Centreville at once and
consulted Edwin III. Brown, Esq, the
States Attorney, who advised him to
summon a jury of inquest and make
thorough investi cation. These instruc-
tions were carried out and such evidences
examined as was at hand and summonses
issued for others. The investigation will
be continued to-day, when some startling
developments may be expected and the
perpetrators of the horrible crime brought
to justice.
Suspicion naturally attaches to Mrs.
Jonas j. Crew ard her sister, Miss Sallie
Stradley, who have occupied the house
for a number Of years. previous to a sale
made few months ago, when it changed
hands. 1t is ruIhored that Mrs. Crew
and her sister left shortly after the dis
covery was made which fact has gone far
to confirm suspicion.
Mrs. Crew is what is known in COM
mon parlance as a grass widow, that is
having separated from her husband and
living apart without obtaining di-
vOrce.

the shape of "g greenback" is being cir

good satire. A vignette on its face rep
resents "Uncle Sam" grinding greenbacks

mortgages all the property of the people
OF the United States; 1t declares itself
"absolute money, redeemable nowhere,
in nothing and by nobody" and "when
this note has been spent another may be
had on application to the treasurer" &c.
In the left hand corner is the vignette OF
wolf dressed as an old woman behind a
screen on which Is the sign mo danger, .
and all around 1T a flock of cackling
geese reading theinscription and walking
into the parlor to be eaten up as they de-
serve. On the reverse the note is en-.
dorsed "Poor mans money" "divide all
the property equally" "burn the bonds
"shoot the bondholdef," down with capi'

Ever foremost in enterprise, Messrs
Russell and Northrop, the popular dry
goods house at 306 Market street, closed
their store yesterday, in order to give
their large stock thorough overhauling,
re-marking all their goods at greatly re,
duced prices, at which prices they will
continue the sale for two weeks, in order
to give those suffering from the hard
times good opportunity to supply them
selves for the coming season at mini
mum prices. Customers can readily see
for themselves that the reduction is bona
fde, as they have adopted the novel man
ner of marking the reduced prices upon
the goods in red, while the old prices re-
main in black.

Heugh, Balfour q Co., of Manchester,
have failed. Their liabilities are estima-

lioDg sterling ($5, ,000, 900 to SIC, ,0O0, ,000).
The failure Of this house was announced
in London shortly after the close of busi-

Balfour q Co. was one of the Oldest
Eastern shipping houses in Manchester.
Two hundred thousand pounds of their
liabilities fall chiefly on Manchester cloth

liabilities is in bills, but it is slated that
