them before ns with 'crooks -on their

their arms, ready to pour forth simple
lays to any rustic' maidens within hear

encountering one of these, you inav

up to ine, a. double barreled gun on his
snouKier, a iowie Knne nanging on

the arsenal he tarried about him he

the remains of seven bodies which em
brace the entire household viz: Jacob
Friend; 1 Is wife and five children
ouer of whom was ,a young woman of
17 years of age. The community, was
startled at;what every one concluded
to bo tho most horrible of murders in
the. annab of, criin c. Tho Coroner
was summoned to the spot, and after
tM o days investigation the Jury of In
quest returned a verdict, that inend
and his family" came, to their death by
the hand of violence but no discoveries
as to' the murderers could be" made. .
Suspicion; however, fixed the crime
upon one Amosl)avis,nniormon; others
were by various circumstances also sus
pected, and said Davis; J ohn Patterson,
George W.Lincoln, and Warner Hoops
were arrested. An examination com
menced, on v Monday '.morning before
Justices Dougherty and Hughes, which
was' continued till Wednesday evening.
Nothing was elicited to fix the guilt
upon the parties, , but - it. was thought
the circumstantial evidence, made out
a sufficient case to commit "Davis.
The ' others .were discharged, j . There
was a: lingering suspicion, however,
resting upon the ! mind ! of ' every one
that all were guilty. This led. to the
retaking of Patterson and upon this
second arrest he confessed as being a
party to the horrible deed, implicating

for the bottom to secure, Lincoln and
Hoops. They had not been taken up
to yesterday morning; the whole coun

escape. Upon approaching the house
of Lincoln, a signal was given with a
blast of the horn, which it is supposed,
was to warn the guilty of danger. ti
.1 he. motive prompting the prcpara
tion, of this, horrible deed is not fully

- Disinterment of the Remains of
Gen. JosEpn Wakren.-A few weeks
since, he late Dr. John C. Warren
disintered from the family tomb under
St. Paul's , Church, the remains of his
uncle, who fell in the fight of Bunker's
Hill.- The remains were placNjin a
stone urn, upon which an appropriate
epitaph had been engraved.1 The skull
was quite perfect, the chin still remain
ing. Behind one of the ear3 was seen
an aperture, which indicated the place
where the fatal ball entered which
ended his brief but glorious' career. -The
remains, with those of other mem
bers of the family, were placed in
Forest Hills Cemetery. Boston Tran
