The Memphis Avalanche of Saturday last
Kays: The particulars of the bloo.ly and mys
terious murder of Mr. J. B. Crockett, at Brad
ley's Landing, on the Mississippi, twelve miles
above Memphis, as published in the Avalanthe
of yesterday, have caused the greitest excite
ment among the residents in the vicinity of the
place where the deed was committed, and the
most eager pearch K being made for the perpe
trator of the murder. The deceased was higLly
respected by nil who knew him, and as ,
THE Gl'ILTY PERSON
Is supposed to be a negro of bad character wto
worked on an adjoining plantation, and who U
reported missing, and as he is suspected of
being in Memphis, several of the
mi KNOB OF THE Ml-KDEHED MAN
arrived in the city to assist the authorities in
finding out the whereabouts of and identifying
the guilty. Among these parlies are Mr. J. (J.
IJerry, ex-Sheriff of Crittenden county, and Mr.
Charles Morris, of Pacific Place, Ark., to whom
wc are indebted for additional particulars of the
tragedy.
THE INQUEST
on the body of the deceased was held by Mr.
Mulloy, Justice of the Peace of Wappanocca
township, and it was proved that the murderer
struck his victim with an iron harrow tooth,
while be was engasred in drawing some whisky
from a barrel on board the trading boat. The
first blow, which war given on the back of the
bead, doubtless rendered the unfortunate mxn
unconscious, as the skull was fractnrec". The
second blow was evidently dealt with murder
ous intent, as oor Crockett fell backward, as
there was an ugly gash over the right eye. Not
satisfied with intlicting these deadly wound,
tbe fiend in liumanj-haps cut the throat of his
victim from ear to ear.
THE NHGKO WHO IS Sl'SPECTEO
of doing the murder was seen going on board of
Crockett's boat on the night of Tuesday by a
colored woman, who also staled that she ob
served him examine the contents of a trunk.
The trunk in question presented the appearance,
on being inspected by the jurors, as if the con
tents had been tossed about and several car
ried off.
nii.i.s vnn spots of m.oon on them.
During the day be arrived at Mound City and
paid a visit to the grocery store of Mr. "J. G.
Berry, where he purchased several articles and
paid for them in bills that had spots of blood on
them. He next wanted the captain of the ferry
boat Laura to take him to Memphis, alleging
that he bad important business to transact in
this city. The captain refused to accede to his
re'iucst, and he departed in the direction ot
Jlopeficld, and is supposed to have crossed the
river at that point The city authorities are
making every effort to arrest the suspected
murderer in order fv bring him to justice.

Dltntlful Accident to ft Hunting Pnrtv In
- Ooi'Klu.
Tbe Macon Tvliyraih ami M .se(i c of Thurs
.tlay last has the following details of a most
melancholy accident to a hunting party from
that city:
It is our painful duty this morning to record
the most shocking accident that has occurred in
this section for years. The facts, as related to
us by an eye witness, are about as follows:
On Tuesday morning, about eleven o'clock,
a party of gentlemen, composed of Messrs. VV.
Scott Clark, John Barclay, Dave Connor, Dr. F.
G. Castlen, Henry Ells, W. T. Nelson, George
C. Napier, and a colored man named Bob
Banks, left here in three batteaus on a duck
hunting excursion down the Ocmulgee river.
They had nroeceded down the stream to what is
known as Bullard's. near Barclay's plautation,
when, on yesterday afternoon, about two
o'clock, the boat in which Mr. Henry N. Ells
and his servant, Bob Banks, were seated, be
came capsized in the river, by running against
a log floating down the stream. Mr. Ells clung
to his bout, but Bob grasped the log and climbed
upon it. So soon as this occurred
tbe boat in which Messrs. Counor, Nel
son and Napier were sealed hurried to
the assistance of Ells and the negro, and in the
struggle to get them out of thewater, thif boat
was also capsized, and the water was so in
tensely cold that the struggle was then for life
on the part of each individual, and as clinging
to the boats in such cold water was certain
death, each man, except the negro, struck put
for the banks. Messrs. Nelson and Connor suc
ceeded in reaching the opposite or east bank of
the river, near Barclay's plantation, and after
wading through a canebrake and water waist
deep, and through tbe ice in the swamp, they
managed to find their way to Mr. Barclay's
house, after suffering mot terribly from the
cold. Ercm thence tbej- walked to the Macon
and Brunswick Kailway station and reached this
city last evening.
Mr. George Napier reached the bank on this
side of the river, but as lie got into a most dense
canebrake. and near which there is no known
settlement, the greatc-t fears are entertained for
Ids life. Mr. Ells wa seen by Messrs. Connor
and Nelson out in the river after they got ashore,
and he called to them that be was going to
iirown, and to give his love to his wife and
mother, and went down.
The colored man still clung to the floating log,
but as he could not swim and was nearly frozen
to death, no hopes are entertained that he is alive.
A party of gentlemen will go down on the
Brunswick ro;d this morning t recover the
bodies, if possible, and to rescue Mr. Napier, if
be is still alive.

The Beading Eajle has the following:
About a month ago two strangers came to
Heading, no person knew from whence. They
bad circulars printed beaded "Painter, Myers A:
Co., Dealers in Hardware, etc., Reading. Pa."
They wrote to Joseph Nan Clew and other
wboissale hardware dealers, in Newark, N. J.,
asking for price lists, from which to make up
orders for goods. They referred to "Hough, at
Harrisburg," formerly in the hardware business
but who latterly failed. The Newark business
men wrote to lfarriBburg, when Hough replied
that tho firm of- Painter, Myers & Co., were "all
right, and they could send them any quautily of
goods." It appears it was not known in Newark
that Hough had failed.
The Heading firm sent orders for goods to the
value of some f 15.000 and a note payable in
thirty days at the First National Bank ef Read
ing. The goods were sent by express and re
ceived by the strangers here, who took the
boxes to a smoke house on Washington street,
where they repacked the goods and shipped
them to Philadelphia and Baltimore. Two days
ago the note in bank was protested, and las;
evening Mr. Van Clew came on .3 Reading to
see what the matter was. Upon arriving here,
be first discovered that the tiroi of Painter,
Myers & Co., was a myth, and that be aud bis
fnends in Newark had been swindled.
The strangers changed their boarding place
three different times while ia Reading. Their
present whereabouts Is unknown.
