A Memphis, Tenn, telegram OF Dec.
21. says: Specials from Tupolo, Miss, station
on the Mobile & Ohio, gives the following ac-
count OF horrible crime committed in the
northern portion Of Monroe county, Miss,
last Saturday night. The details are as fol-
lows: Mr. Brown, rising young man raised
in the neighborhood, married ano built a
house near his parents. His family consisted
of his wife and daughter, two years old Sat
urday night two men, giving the names Of
Mettler, called and asked to stay all night
The evening being disagreeable they were
permitted to remain, and occupied bed in
the same room with the family. it being the
only one where there was a fire. About y
o'clock light from the little cottage attracted
the neighbors, who found the house so far
consumed that nothing could be done toward
saving il. 1twas the impression that the
family had absented themselves fo- the
night, but in the debris was found the
remains, crisp and charred, Of the trio.
lgten Sc indignation took full sway and inyes-
tigation developed the above. when search
was at once made for the two men, It was
found that they had separated, one going to
ward Aberdeen, the other direct to Polo The
posse that went in pursuit towards Aberdeen
were sful in finding their MAJ, hid in
field six miles from Aberdeen. Last night he
was returned to the scene, when he told the
following story: We wanted money: we're
permitted to remain over night; laid awake
after retiring until the heavy breathing OF the
family satisfied US of their slumber, when we
arose, administered chloroform, rifej the
house of Va1uahles cnnsistinp of S07 votoh
suit of clothes and pair of boots, then scattered
cotton over the floor and on the bed saturat-
ed with coal oil, set it on fire and left. The
horror stricken crowd, composed OF twenty
five resolute men, determined that the devil
should be punished with his own weapon, and
pinioned him with pine splinters around him,
dispensed with chloroform, and set him ablaze
Diligent search is being made for the other
man, who will doubtless share the same fate
if caught

apparently some suspicion that behind the

jects are being patched up. II is probable that

ters, who were authorizers OF the Fenian raid
in 1862, are again at work. They find the
masses flushed with triumph over law. and

About the Connemsra Colony.


Mr.. Timothy Reardon is in receips of a
letter from Mr.. John Farley, his nephew, for
seventeen years q resident of st. Paul, who
has been stopping in the neighborhood OF
Graceville, Big Stone county, the location OF
the Connemara colonists for eight months
past, in which he gives these colpnists char
acter for general worthlessness, which will go
far towards allayiDg the general sympathy
manifested for them throughout the State, al
lowing that the most exaggerated reports Of
their condition and suffering has considera BILE
foundation, in fact. Mr.. Farley says: "The
Connemaras are the talk of the day. They
are pest to the country. They are lying,
lazy paupers and thieves to boot. The re-
ports and charges against Father Ryan are
nearly false, gotten up by Dunley and
Hodges, and parties from Morris, to bring
disgrace on Bishop Ireland and Father Ryan.
The charge against Mcdonald is to be proven.
We are to have an Indignation meeting over
the affair tonight. The Connemaras fare bet
ter than the majority of the colony. They
will never fear their own living where they
are; as thU say: The bishop promised to
support as, why should we work"

What the '.Thunderer'' Saws.

The London sTimes'' of Dec. "a, saws,
no political doubts ought to divert us from the
duty of providing that in Ireland, as in Eng
land and Scotland, men shall be delivered
from terrorism, as citizens of the State in
which anarchy never before has been permit
ted to spread over the entire provinces. We
look with dismay upon the paralysis of gov
ernment in Ireland. In many cases it is i'm
possible to publish important statements, less
individuals should suffer. We have been as
sured by excellent authority that the unsatis-
factory issue of money prosecutions at the
winter assizes are to be easily accounted for.
At first jurors stayed away from the assizes,
preferring to be fined rather than face the risk
of having to convict prisoner, but the land
league ordered several jurors to attend. They
obeyed, and the prisoners were acquitted in
the teeth of evidence against them.
