Murder

■The Springfield, (Mo.)mocrat says : " A murder has been committed in our very midst that makes one's blood chili to relate. On Friday last, George Young, living about ten miles west of this, struck his daughter, 8 or 9 ycars oíd, with a hoe, splitting her skuíl, following the fïrst blow wilh others, beating her head and cutting her neck. The cries of the child brought the mother to the horrid scène. She took üp her dead child and started for the house. Young followed, tore the child from his wife, and cut out its entrails ! He then put a log chain around his wife's neck, and was only prevented from killing her by the timely arrival ofsome neighbors."
