mysterious murder has been discovered.
The inhabitants OF the region are chiefly
charcoal-venders. The johnson family.

the most wealthy ns without doubt they
were the most respectable OF the charcoal

brothers. Eldridge +. johnson, thirty-nine
years OF age, tall, lank. and rcd-haired, lett
the rest Of the family at home to 90 to his
hut to watch heap OF wood which he was
burning into charcoal. The next morning
he did not return TO breakfast. AT 10
O'Clock his brother Edgar went out
and found him stretched across the
sod-coyered heap OF charcoal. dead. His
skull was crushed. his face and arms
bruised, one leg was iammed into hole in
the charcoal heap. and the foot was appa-
Tently burnt of. There were signs OF fierce
struggle visible on the ground. The dead

proceeds Of recent sale Of two cattle.
Edgar alarmed the neighbors.
Word was sent 10 County Coroner Boil
man, Of New Haven, who arrived at Madi-
son last evening with Observation-Disclosures
White, OF New Haven. They began an in
vestigation to-day. When the pile OF ashes
was pulled apart the missing right foot OF

acters who live near by, and who had
means OF knowing the fact that johnson
had sold his cattle. Their names are Will

Children Severely Bitten by Dog.

A friend from Lenoir tells Us that there
was tremendous excitement in that town
q few days since. 4 mad dog passed
through the streets early III the morning,
and before he could be killed he had bitten
four persons. one mule, and nearly a dozen
dogs. Sophia, the little daughter of Cap
tain Faucette, was terribly torn in the arm.
George, the Oldest son of Mr.. NJ. V. Moore,
was bitten in the hand. The wound was
cluterized and all the lanceratedlle flesh cut out
to the bone by n surgeon at the earliest
possible moment. No one seems TO be APP
prehensive of serious results from any Of
the mischief done. a there are many doubts
as to the dog having been affected with
genuine "rahcs." 4 physician who eX-
amined his mouth after the animal was
killed pronounced him not to have been a
rabid dog.
