SHOCKING MURDER.-I'he Natchez Courier OF
the 29th ult. gives the following particulars Of a
dreadful murder recently perpetrated in Loulsl-
ana.


A Miss Demoss was killed about the 9th IN
slant, near Minden, Claiborne Parish, La. She
left the house of neighbor in the evening, to re-
turn to the house of her father, respectable
planter, but not arriving, search was COM
menced, and young man, by name Lambwright,
was met in the woods. Upon the searching
party proposing to 60 up a certain branch, he
stated that ii was no use, he had been there
hunting, &c. They did go, however, and found
her dead. She had been violated, severely beaten
and then her head was held under the water TO
finish the work Of death. Some other clrcum
stances have excited suspicion of Lambright, but
there is no positive evidence against him. He is
young man, married, with child, and be-
fore his marriage had addressed Miss Demoss,
and been by her rejected.
