We make the following extract from
the Times account Of the bloody affair:
Another Horrible Murder-A Man
Gagged and has Jngalar Eeia Yes
terdaJ morning eur quiet CITY was great
ly excited with the news Of another at
rocious murder committed on last Thurs
day evening, and discovered several hours
after the death Of the victim. M
A Hungarian named Rudolph Teutor
who at the time was living in q ono story
house near the outer railroad depot in
the skirts of Parkersburg, was brutally
murdered and robbed of sum Of mon
ey, the proceeds Of sale of q horse
which he had just sold.


The murdered man was found yester-
day morning lying on the floor Of his
residence, which he rented from Mr., VIM.
Beehler, with fleece lined cotton glove
forced down his throat and his left tenn
pie crushed into the brain and number
Of gashes which nearly severed his left
ear, and the back of his neck cut to the
bone-all the large blood vessels being
cut entirely through.


Justice Tsegart, acting as Coroner on
this occasion, summoned a jury and ex-
amined a number of Witnesses, from
whom nothing was elected further than
that the victim of the murder was seen
to enter the stable with man about three
o'clock P. NJ. on Thursday, and from
thence both went into the house. AT
Z o'clock P. NJ. on Thursday evening the
dog-a very savage one-was heard to
make great noise.


The murdered man was evidently killed
outright with blow from hammer or
other heavy instrument, or knocked in
sensible before the veins were cut. No
blood had spirited from the wounds upon
the walls sr furniture Of the room in
which the butchery was performed.


The Coroner's Jury, after hearing all
the testimony that could be elected, ad-
journed to next Monday for the purpose
of continuing the examination into this
horrible tragedy. Suspicion seemed not
to be directed especially to any one, but
we learn that it was the opinion of DR.
Scott that the author of this murder was
the same cold blooded human butcher
who murdered Joseph Lilieuthal in 9
somewhat similar scientific manner last

There's glory ever beaming,


In yon orient sublime
A glory that was lighted


At the early dawn of Time.
Let Dis turn our footsteps thither


From the darkness of the West,
With holy prayer upon the lip


And faith within the breast. t. @
We must lay our sOeaItA and state aside


And its pageantry despise;
We must wear no crown or ermine robe,


Our manhood to disguise.
We must go as pilgrims journey,


When they seek some holy spot;
Forgetting all the world's vain pomp,


And by the world forgot.
The eye must yield its vision AL s.--,


To the trusting heart within:
For the heart alone must see the path


Where each brothers foot hath been.
And as we walk by faith sublime
Mid weakness and alarm,
Wen trust in God, cen though we lean
Upon brothers arm.
No crooked path, no devious step,
Leads to that hallowed shrine
Where Wisdom, from her jeweled breast,
DispeEses Light divine. a ar sa
But if we come with aspright step
And upright purpose too,
And stand erect upon the square
As honest men and true
Well find, amid the glory .s.rr.
Of that orient sublime,
The Truth whose holy light shall die
But with the death of Time.
