ArRoctous MuRDER.-A slip from The
office Of the New York Police Reporter,
dated Sunday, December IA, 4 o'clock. P.
NJ, gives the following account Of the
murder Of woman and two children:


Last evening, while Mr.. Jacobs, far
mer, residing near White Stone, up the
East river, was absent on visit to Alba
ny, a negro, by the name of Henry Carter,
went to the house of Mr.. j., and there
made an attempt to ravish Mrs. Jacobs
The wretch unable to carry out his hell
ish scheme in consequence Of the strug-
Cling of his victim, and no doubt fearing
exposure, smothered her with blanket
by craming it into her mouth. The scoun.
drel then took two of Mrs Jacobs chill
dren, girl and boy, between the ages Of
eight and ten, and put them TO death by
dashing out their brains with rolling pin.
A third child Of Mrs. j. fortunately fled,
and secre,ed herself in barn until the
murderer fled.


We learn that footsteps have been tra-
ced to the river side, in consequence q
the snow which fell on Saturday evening,
though the marks made are such as would
make person think that the murderer had
placed the heels Of his shoes forward to
prevent detection, so as to leave the imprint
that the murderer had come from The riv-
er side, instead Of going from the house.
