We learn by Mr.. George Crocket, of Marks
borough, in Warren, who arrived in this city this
morning, that four persons were murdered on
! Monday night, at Changewater in Warren coun-
ty, about 10 miles from Belvidere, near the
Hunterdon line An old man, bachelor, NAM
cd John Parke, man of wealth, lived with his
brother-in-law John Castner, who tarmed Parkc s
place. On Tuesday morning Cashiers dead
body was found by the ncighbors, on the ground
near a sink hole with four cuts on his head made
by a sharp instrument, about an inch and quar-
ter broad. 1t appeared as if he had been decoy-
ed from his house by some cry of distress raised
by the murderers, who after killing him, proceed
ed to the house, and entered by the door by
which he had come out.


On going to the house, the neighbors discover
ed the dead body of Parke in bed, and in another
room the dead bodies of Cashiers wife and
child, little girl about two years old, murdered
in her mothers arms, and with her little hands
clasped around her mothers neck. All appear
ed to have been killed with the weapon with
which Castncr was killed. They found boy
in another bed, also most seriously wounded in
the head, and unconscious of what had happen
ed. He was unable to rise, and his life remains
in great uncertainty. Of the whole household
of seven persons, only two boys, sleeping in
a back room, were left unhurt by the demons.


The object of the murderer or murderers was
undoubtedly to get money. Parke's money,
5000 in specie, and S21OO in bills, were in his
trunk and chest, but the wretches did not get 1t.
Castner had 5000, and it is supposed $3.50, in
his desk, which was taken.


When our informant came by the place, there
was great concourse of the people of the neigh
borhood at the house, and committee was ap-
pointed 10 take charge of the effects of the muir
dered persons.


A coroner's inquest held on Tuesday
morning, and verdict rendered in accordance
with the above facts. The only person upon
whom suspicious rest, is a tall, stout man IN
green spectacles, with black whskers, stranger
unknown to every one, who had been lingering
in the neighborhood for three weeks, without
any known business, and was last seen about two
miles from the house on the evening before the
murder. Two persons started IN pursuit OF hlm
yesterday morning, and it was supposed they
could overtake him, as the roads are very bad


This murder of four persons in cold blood, the
aged, the middle-aged, and the infant, without
mercy and without regard to the number OF lives
