SENTENCED TO DB fiIJNO.-twO Pitts
burg burglars, named Homer and Bowser,
have been tried in tire Cambria county court,
for the murder of Misses Paul and Alunday
which occurred on
_the 7th_of-June-las j
itTaiientenced to be hung.
The weapons used by the murderers in
their work of death, were carefully made
clubs, with which the brains of their victims
were •beaten out, and as the murderers were
seen by a young lady, emerging from the
house, it,was positively certain that a brace of
villains were engaged in the horrible act.—
The motive of the deed was robbery, and
bow much booty the fiends obtained is a mat
ter of surmise, but it is tboughtru have been
a large sum, as Miss Paul was generally con
sidered to have hoarded a handsome amount
of money, acid but forty dollars were found
in the house after the discovery of the mur
der.
Singular Circumstance.— After Flowser
and Bowser were lodged - in jail, upon- their
arrest, Mrs Muuday, the aged mother of the
young girl who was murdered, had a (Beam.
She dreaw.pt that she saw her daughter strug
gling with her murderer, and theard her call
for-"help" and "mother." the dream made
such an impression upon the old lady that
she determined to visit the jail to see if she

They murdered fifty thousand of the soldiers

'The murderer was arrrsted and taken to
Brooksville on Monday, where he was taken
and hanged by the citizens.
"The story is confirmed by a letter from
a friend in that section, who says the mur

ever perpetrated, and that the murderer
richly deserved the punishment he receiv

A negro was killed in Louisville, Ky. last

one of them, named Murk, deliberately drew
a piStol alicl shut h.m on the spot. The
