nORaiBLE MuRDEtt at West Curs
te& Pa. A friend who returned in
the night line from Cheater County last
evening, brings us the following partic
ular of a horrible tragerdy, enacted
near the borough of West Chester, in
that county, yesterday morning.
It appear! that on Sunday morning,
about half past ten o'clock, a man nam
ed James Hayd, went to the farm house
of Jimca Patton, a very respectable
farmer, living about a mile out of the
borough, and while there committed
one of the moat cold-blooded and black,
hearted murders that it has ever fallen
to otir lot to record. Mr. and Mrs
ration hid zone to church, and left tn
the house a young servant girl, the i

years ciige, an infant lying in the cra

said, how are you gelling, Weslley?'
(the lad had been sick for some time.)
He had scarcely time to answerhis ques
tion, ere Duyd seized the tongs, and
with a violent blow levelled him to
the floor, frocturlng his fcull in ihe
most horrible manner. The girl, alarm
ed, flew to the cradle, seized the infant
hoisted the window, jumped out and
run to alarm the neighbors. As she
reached the window, she declared after
wards, before the Alderman, that she
distinctly heard the boy acream, 'Jim,
don't kill me! then a blow, a tall and
all wis still.
On arriving at the house, the neigh
bors found f rcry door on the first story
fast, and ihey were compelled to enter
by the window.
Here a night presented itself af which
the blood curdles to relate. The inhu
man monster, after having beaten out
the hoy's brains, threw him into the
fire, and when discovered, from all sp-
ieraiicer,it stems he had been so thrown
in before life was entirely extinct, ss
he gave evidence of having struggled
severely and partly succeeded in woik-
ing himself out of the fire. the llesl

part of his body, was burnt entirely oil,

rending sight.

bond is 'he constitution of ihe Unued Siaitt.
which constituos a grand ligament for com
mon society and welfare, yet so admirably
contrived as lo leave each free in its legitimate

It is Federal loo,became many interest of

ly its own. 1 bus the North has an interest
distinct from the South, the East one d is
unci fiom the West, and so on, no two
portions of the union having in all respect
the same sectional interest, but all having
one great interest in common, and that the
preservation of the compict or union of all
die parts of government. The constitution
compels each stato to pay due legard to the
iiitlioriiy of the others, and to the authority

Thus it will bo seon that thi government
is Federal, in having a common bund of

Again, our Government is Democratic,
