before the law, thus Tor the iltA time
crystalizing in our statutes the ita
mortal declaration of the Man tle:y

Did they hold up the falling hands,
and through all discouragement keep
bravely on, till the Rebellion was
simpressed? Did they raise themon

age the resources and defend the cred

What part'or lot have they had in

idg in the stream. Information was
immediately t.nveyed to lisquire
Boyd, of West Middleton, and the
body removed to that plum. The
7
Justiiie empaunelled a
.jury and •an
ffiquts was held on Saturday. The
• body was Identified Ili that of Samuel
Brown, a colorist than well known
in the vicinity. ! A pod morteni ex

Dodd disclosed; the fret that the de
ceased bedew*: to his death by vie
'duo; his skull having been snwhoil
in two places. lie had been missing
since the .pith ult., but no search was
instituted for-the reason-that no ap-
prehension was felt in regard to. his
fide. The discovery of his dead -body
was - the - first intimation .that foul
pkiy had been contemplated. A
saarch of the ground - in the neigh
-borhoad disclosed traces of a strug
gip, and the track by which the body
was dragged to the ereek. We un
derstand that suspieions are enter
tained as to who were the guilty
PAWN and a number of clreumstan
ties hate since come to light tending
iltrongly to confirm them.
Since the above was put in type,
we have learned further particulars
in reference to the horrible affitir.—
It seems that the murdered man had
for a number of years past lived uto.
happily with his wlfe, oh account of
the ingtielitias of the latter. He
went into the army during the %car,
and while absent she was notorious

.1 , 11111 i. ulham.. This criminal con
nection was ea rried on after Brown's
return from the servico, and Was the
cause of frequent violent quarrels
among the parth.4. We learn that
the testimony elicited on the inquest
MN to show that Brown's wife and
I.7ulham had for Med various plans to
make away with Brown, and that
Fulham had often publicly threaten
ed to kill hint. It Was shown that
Fulham had been absent from the
place where he was working. at the
thue Brown was first missed. The
prim4pal witness is a colored man
named Jerry Knight. living at
Pleasant Wilt Seminary, where all
the parties had formerly worked.—
The facts elicited at the inquest were
sufficient to demand the arre s t of the
parties, and on Saturday evening
Esquire Boyd issued a warrant.—
Fulham was arrested OD Sunday by
Constable Core, of Hopewell, accent-
pulled by James McClure and Steel:
Hamilton, of Middletown. lie was
found in - Hanover township, at a
point - near Florence. The wife of
Brown was also arreSted, and both
parties having a full hearing before
:McClure, 'additional -and
stronger testimony being elicited,
they were sent, to jail to await t rill'.
Jerry Knight, whii seems to he fa
miliar with most of the details of the
ease, was . also incarcerated at the
same tune. The. Coroner's jury,• af
ter deliberately weighing all the
evidence, returned a verdict that the

at an early hour, the peoule of Mil
ford were horrified by hearing of the

burglar. Repeated attempts have
heretofore been made by' burglars to
rob Mr. Fenn. (In Tuesday night,

ho took what money he had on hand,
amounting to to M 1 to the house, and
on retiring placed this money be
neath his pillow. He and his wife
retired about 10 o'clock, in a bed
room on the first floor. About 2 o'-
clock Mrs: Fenn was ureteral by
hearing a noise. She listened a few
seconds, when she became convinced
that a man was in the bedroom, en

where sheit i r her Clothes.
She nud her husband, who was

start, and asked what mras the mat

that there was a man in the room.—
Mr. Fenn instantly sprang from the
bed, and as he landed on the floor a
man arose in front of him, where his
pants lay, and retreated to the sit

Fenn pursuing lam. What occurred
in the sitUngroom is riot known, but
it is supposed that Mr. Fenn seized

Anicrican Girls' Underclothing.
A foreign correspondent writes :
There was an articlein a London pa
per the tither day 44 r:cernlng A meri
tun extravagence in dress, which
called attention particularly to the
unddrwear of American girls. Some
countess, who had travelel with sev
eral of our country women on the
continent, expressNi great, astonish
ment at the fineness and costliness of
their untiercloths. hers was thrown
entirely in the shade by those of her
Republican friends. She doubted. if
the cambrics, linen and lacci of the
Princess itoyaLexceetl in value those
of the girls she saw. She also spoke
of their outside laces and silks, and
the little apparent value that was set
on them. It is true, then, in general
the American girl is dainty In the
choice of her inner garments. This
kind of clothing, of the most expen
sive make, is seen in the shops here
embroidered in intrinsic patterns
anti trimmed with . costly lace, and
there is a-ready sale for it even at the
high price asked for the article.
A mituto named Lewis Kennedy,
was hung at New Kent Court House
on Friday last, for the brutal muttleir
of Mrs. Stewart, which took place
September,lB69. Awe=lumgegtves
the following account of . the cloning
scene: On arriving at the gallows,
he Jumped from the curt, and with
a firm step and determined air, us
cended to the platform. The death
warrant iving rend, the culprit, in a
few brief remarks, acknowledged his
, milt and the justive of his sentence.
1 he hangman's:knot wasthen adjust
ed, and at the accustomed signal the
drop fell with .t lastvy thud, anal
crash went the condemned to the
earl h. A cry of horror rang I rant the
crowd, and two women Ltinttsl at the
sickening sight. The knot had slip
ptsl and given away. With some
iv , sistance Kennedy nxe and again
ascended the steps to the platform,
his neck lacerated by the rope, and
agahrtimily took his stand on the
fatal drop. He had tittered no wart I:
but some believed they could hear
him groan as if front pain. Again
the drop fell, and the body .of Kenne
dy was •suspentled between heaven
and earth. The fall was about live
feet; but, as is always thi• cask‘, the
knot slipped to the back of the lied.,
and the scaffold' , vietim struggled
convulsively for nearly five minutes,
after which all outwatti signs of life
had disappeared.
