Hon. L. W. Hall, Speaker of the Senate.
The election of Senator Hall to the
Spvukership made vacant by tiic expira
tion of the term of Speaker Fleming, we
cordially agree with the Harrisburg Tel
egrap, is a compliment at once well be
stowed and reflecting credit on those who
' entertained the preference. This is the
second time Senator Hall has boon eleva
ted to th?name responsible position. In
18G1 lie was made Speaker without an
opponent in the caucus which nominated ,
htm: and now he is again selected, when
the majority in the Senate is comixxed of
some of the very ablest men ill the Suite.
Tt is not necessary for us to refer particu
larly to the talents and services of Speak- •
or Hall. He is prominent among tiie
rising young statesmen of tlie State. He i
knows what is lueos-ary and has theabil- j
: ity to accomplish what is desired for the j
welfare of ids fellow citizens, and we pre- j
diet that the d*.y is not far distant when |
1 Louis W. Hall will occupy positions of
1 higher honor and active influence than

has Just elevated him.

It. seems as thougli the\ wore thrown

unfortunates were terribly mangled
about the heads It would seem that
a new, sharp and l> oody axe. that
was found in the rear of the dwelling,
was the weapon used by the heart!o--
wrcleh in commit*ing the linrrihle

to have been struck on the left side ot

the heel of the axe, and then with the
blade of this murderous weapon the
dam on cut their throats.
Such a .-ight. was appalling to the
stoutest nerves. One of the little
boys, the youngest, it is believed, was
so horribly cut that bis head dropped

raised as though fending oft* the blow
