On Thursday afternoon word was
brought to Barboursyille that a
murder had been committed near
that place, and it was soon discov.
cred that William Peyton, who
lived at Niger Hill, FIVE miles
from Barboursville, on the Guyan
river had deliberately struck his
wife with an ak and killed her.
After committing the deed, Peyton
took the woods, and up to this wri.
ting has not been found. Nocause
for The deed has been assigned. 1t
is said that Peyton and his wife
have not lived very peacefully to
gethor, however. The whole neigh.
bOrhood turned out in search Of
Peyton on Thursday afternoon, and
some persons think that lynching
will probably be the result; but we
think not, because the people Of
that community are law abiding
and peaceable. The news Of the
murder was shocking to every one.
Four young children were present
when the deed was done.-Hunting.
