Gam Valley, Dec. 25.-M. {. John
stone, a farmer living ten miles north
Of here, became violently inaane last
night and attempted 10 kill his family,
consisting of his wife and -four children
with a Ratchet. They all managed to
get away from him without being much
injured and locked themselves in the
cellar where he could not get at them.
He then went to a n~eishbof's, about a
mile from there, in his night clothes,
and an alarm having been given by this
time he was captured AT that place. Mr..
tombstone was at one time in very pros
porous circumstances. but OF late years
has had more than his share OF hard
luck, and continual b%rooding over his
misfortunes is probably what caused
him to lose his reason.
