he was only 88. years old at the supposed date of

More trouble *brewing on our frontiers. Some

settled, and assert that the Mornion Prophet
has only acceded to a temporary truoe, with the
view of re-establishing hie high-handed- policy
hereafter. The army abort are evidently dim

and inour:ing such extraordinary expenses, with•
out having a brush with the'enemies that annoyed
them co much by - their depredations lade winter.
The bare possibility of being obliged to re-enaot the
same zones at a &tire 'day is sufficient to create
unpleasant reflections. Meanwhile, there are more
Indian • diffloulties,• as hostile demonstrations
have been made against the settlers , near the new
gold region, and it is supposed a formidable, com
bination of 111111Eill tribes against the' white set

The Almost Double Murder in New
- ' York State.
- In The Press yesterday morning we gave an
account of a delierate double murder *Molt was
perpetrated at amptonhttrg, ebony_ two titles
from Coshen, in range county, Y-., on Friday
evening. Peter 'Shoreoh and Margaret Shealy,
who were to haVe been married this weak, were
shot by Winton'. Saunders, a rejected lover of
Margaret. All three were servants in the family
of Mr. Charles Moves, who was absent at the time
of the occurrence.
The following is the ate lenient of Margaret
Shealy "I don't believe I Will live ; I believe
am mortally wounded; I was shot after dark to
night ; Peter Bborek was shot before r was; the
boy shot him ; William Sanders shot him and me;
there was nobody in the hone° except myself,
' Pater, and Sanders; I ocutipled a room in Charles
Reevea's house, adjoining the room ot Peter, which
wasbetween mine and Sanders's room; I heard
the shot and heard Peter fall ; be then came tomy
room . ] I saw a pistol in his hand and he shot me
this evening Sanders helped me till a straw bed and
I helped me to carry It ihto the house; he asked me
lif that was the plea° where the girl slept. [This
was a room where some of the family slept. I to!d
him Yee;' I was engaged to be married to Peter
Sherok ; after be shot Peter I spoke to him, called
him 'William; he said "Yes,' and then he shot
; I tboogbehe bad killed me ; I stood near the
window and he stood near the door; he was within
two or threi feet of ,me ; I was taking my clothes
off and my bosom was bare ; I then jumped out of
the window ,• William had two pistols—they were
both double barreled ; before dark William asked
me if Mr. Reeves would come home, and if ho
weuld come before dark ; I told him ' No;' be then
asked me if we would tit up for him ; I said we
would not."
Suoh is the girl's statement The window from
which she jumped is about eighteen foot from
the ground, which is almost solid rock, just under
the window. There is blood upon the window sill
and on the casement, and also on the ground
where she fell. -She sprained her ankle badly, but
broke no bones. From there to Mr. Case's is near
ly a quarter of a mile ; and she must have climbed
three feriese.in her way. Peter, who Was shot
just as be cameTrom Margaret's room, fell in the
hall; but when he was found, he had crawled into
her room; leaving blood marks all the way,'
The New York Herald of Monday morning an
flounces the capture of the murderer, and gives a
different version of the affair, as follows :
The - murderer, Saunders, is a German, who Imo
only lately arrived - in the country. 'The story cant
on yesterday by telegraph, to the effect that. he
was in love with the girl Margaret, and murdered
ber and her lover from jealousy, appears to be
'without foundation. It is said - that he had never
- paid nay attention to the girl Margaret; and those
.who knew the parties and the 'oirettmstinees in
for, partly from questions which he put to Margo
rill On the afternoon of the murder in relation to
the probable return of the family—who wore ab

oes, that - his intention was, after killing his '
low.servants, to rob the house.. .

and made no answer to the Attestions_put to him.
'Pm man Shorts* died died almost immediately after

WON'T REDUCE THE FARE.—The Fifth and
Sixth-street Passenger Railway have refuse. 'to
reduce the faro on their road, in compliance with
the petition of the people of Frankford, to which
we alluded several days time. The reason urged
for this refusal is, that, with the vast patronage
-afforded during the summer season, the' rankford
portion of the road has barely paid six per cent.,
and by charging full fare, the profits on that sec
tion are entirely too Small to make the stook of

ed at $4 for the former, and $3.50 for the latter,
but there is none of either here. Wheat is in
better demand today, and about 2 500 bus fair to
prime Bentham red at 1201.1250, the latter afloat.
White is steady at 1305140 c, and but little offering
or selling 'Corn is dull and drooping, and buyers

at $33 for first No. 1, at which rate there is less
demand. Cotton is dull, but the market is firm

at folly former prises, and less stooks and receipts
of all kinds. Seeds—nothing doing
. for the want
of stook. Whiskey is scarce, with small sales of
