ing to those who are Incorporate. A Mr..

town of Niles, was cruelty murdered by his
father. 1t is said that the old man, who was

her escape through window, proceeding to
her sons, at a short distance, for protection.
The son, wishing to protect the house, pro-

time another son had made his appearance,
no less than twelve horrible gashes had been
inflicted. The son is said TO have been wor-
thy man. There was no hope Of his recovery.
