THE 11.1URDE.R IN THE COUNTY OF  DURHAM.  NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, SATURDAY. More particulars have come to light to-day with regard to the cruel murder of the poor man Baty on Monday night week. The police have found the " Morgan rattler" with which Smith knocked poor Baty down. The murderous instrument was found in the Knob Ends Wood, between Winlaton and Barlow, near the place where Armstrong parted company with Smith the morning after the murder. Some of the clothes, too, of the murdered man, and of Smith, have also been found hidden in a field between Winlaton and Blaydon—Smith's trousers and shoes, and Baty's coat and waistcoat. The other portion of Baty's clothes Smith absconded with. He had them on when he left Armstrong. No further information of Smith's whereabouts has been got. The last trace the police got of him was at Whits•le-Head, near Tantoby, in the county of Durham, where he slept all night on the Tuesday, the day'after the murder, at the house of a person called Evans, who formerly belonged to Winlaton. Smith worked as a pitman at Whitehaven, he then came to Four Stones, near Hexham, and worked there some time. Since he has been in this district he has worked at several collieries in the Burnopfield Pontop districts. He has latterly lived at Biaydon, and worked for Mr. G. 11. Ramsay, at Shibdon colliery. He is rather a short man, but well and powerfully built. His face is nearly "blue," having been severely burnt by an explosion of gunpowder in one of the mines in which he was working some years ago. He is well known in the district as a daring resolute man, and an ardent poacher. There is scarcely a wood or a field for miles round with which he is not acquainted, and if the police are not very expert in their movements he will surely evade them. Although a pitman, he does not stick to that employment only, as he can work as a sailor, a husbandman, or in any ordinary description of labour. He began life as a sweep. It is supposed he has made his way to Whitehaven, Maryport, or some of the west coast ports, with the ♦iew of getting off to sea. The murder is still attracting great interest in and around Winlaton, and the greatest anxiety is evinced by all to have Smith caught, and any participators he may have had, arrested. The clothes that have been found must have been placed in the spot where they have been got quite recently, as some boys were catching birds there a few days ago, and no clothes were there then.  [ADvEnTisamnyri—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Health Restorers—The variable temperature of the English climate during the winter has a pernicious and deleterious iufluence on the skin, musc;es, glands, and lungs, hence we find erysipelas, rheumatism, enlarged glands, und bronchitis so very prevalent. To these Holloway's Remedies Im•Ye proved themselves a perfect antidote for more than a quarter of a century. Thousands have cured themselves by rubbing in this inestimable Ointment, which, by continued friction, penetrates the skin, and restores regularity to ewpry organ—both as regards circulation, secretion, and function, Holloway's pills should always be taken to aid the Ointment where the eliaea,s,© is constitutional, chronic, or dangerous, as they prevent tile cMal lodgment 9f egg doletericws matters.
