MuRDER.--N most diabolical murder was
perperated few days since, near the Point of
Rocks, ut the dead hour Of night, by Ger
man emigrant, upon the persons Of widow
woman named Davis and her child who were
living with her brother Mrs. d. slept in the
lower apartment OF the house, where the mur-
derer had secreted himself IN the early part
of the night. About IL o'clock those Of the
family who lodged in the room above hearing
Il great noise Of distress, arose to ascertain the
cause. Upon entering the room, q most dis
tressing spectacle presented itself. The child,
la little boy about eleven years Of age--lay


we terlng in its gore and its brains scattered
about the floor The mother Law besd. her
child, almost lleess corpse, bruised and
mangle in a shocking manner from blows
inflicted with q club. We have since learned
rnat the murderer has been lodged Ia the pr-
son at Frederick TO await his trial at the next
county court. He does not, we learn, deny
the charges brought against him. but wishes
to Justify the daboical murder with the plea
that hunger drove him to- its comnital. He
stated that he had not recevelany food what
ever for three days previous. 1t is supposed
that he was under the impression that toll
was received at the house, and fromthe great
number o(boats passing that large quantity
of money had been collected. Rockville Free

The above is another specimen Of the "bet


ter citizens" imported aud exported to this
country. A statistical account of the murders
committed by foreigners, for " iilAly lucre,"
would speak daggers and bIudgons against the
Laws Of Naturalization. Perhaps if the Amer


lean Peo pie will not be reasoned into their
senses, they may be Whipt into them. We
hope, though, they may see the errors Of their
way, and amend.
