HORRIBLE' MURDER. I
April 12.—One of the
most horrible butehirties of human beings—
inereAtroCionsin its terrible_details than_the
Langfeldt or the fikUpineki 'murders, which
shocked the community years ago—was made
kepis% yesterday afternoon, between two and
three o'clock. The location of this horrible
tragedy, or tragedies, is on Jones' lane, west
of the flreenwich-point rood, not far distant
from the. Point, on the Delaware, in the First
ward. The victimi of the murderer are
Christopher Deering. aged thirty-eight years;
Julia hie wife, thirty-silLyears; John Deer
ing; son, eight years; Thomas Deering, five
years; Annie Deering, four years; Emma
Deering, fourteen months; Miss •—•-• Keat
ing, aged forty.eix years, A lad, aged four
teen years, who lived with the family, and
worked upon the farm, is missing. It is sup
poSed that be was killed and his body thrown
into a dee , well which will be
_thorou l hl •
searched this morning.
The dwelling house, a two•story frame, ki
located on Jones' lane, the barn and' stable
being a short distance off. Mr. Deering was
a cattle dealer, and a quiet, unostentatious
man. He attended strictly to his own bu
siness; and thus won the esteem of all who
know him. He occupied the farm for five
or six years, having rented it from the own
er, Mr. James Mitchell. Mr. Deering was
last seen alive on Saturday morning) at this
time he purchased six pounds of beef in the
Wharton market on Moyamensing avenue.
WHERE THE BODIES WERE FOUND
The body of the mother and those of her
four children were found in one corner of
the barn, near a small out-house adjoining,
which communicate by a hole,through which
the remains of the victims were brought to
view. It seems as though they were thrown
into one heap, penmen, and then covered o
ver with dirt and hay. These unfortunates
were' terribly mangled abOut their heads.—
It would seem that a new, sharp and bloody
axe, that was found in the rear of the dwell
ing, was the weapon used by the heartless
wretch in committing the horrible crime of
murder. • All of them seem to have been
struck on the left side of the forehead, just
above the eye, with the heel of the axe, and
then with the blade of this murderOus weap
on the demon cut their throats. Such a
sight was appalling to the stoutest nerves.—
Oue of the little ye, the youngest, it is be
lieved, was so horribly cut that his head
dropped off. The other boy,. when discov
ered, had hie right arm crooked and partly
raised as though fending off the blow that
sent him into eternity. The mother, it is
supposed, was defending her bail from the
attack of the infuriated demon, when she
was struck down. The babe had received
an awful blow on the upper part of the breast,
near the shoulder, almost severing one of its
arms, and also another, a sharp' eat on the
side of the head.
HOW THE DISCOVERY WAS MADE. •
A man at work fixing up some fences for
Mr. Ware, a neighbor, had his attention call
ed, by a young man, to the fact that the cat
tle and horses of Mr. Deering had not been
out of the stable or barn for several days.—
He saw them and fed them in the morning.
Both went to the spot, and on making a elose
observation, a part of a foot was discovered
sticking out from the hay. A further ex
amination was made, and the body of Mr.
Deering was found, his head being shocking.
ly mangled. His breast bone protruded to
such an extent that it was driven into his
neck. It was a ghastly, sickening sight.—
His gloves were found upon his hands. Near
his body were the mangled remains of Miss
Keating, his cousin. She was also shock
ingly cut about the heed. • We learn that
she had been attending the funeral of a rela
tive in New Jersey, and that on Saturday
morning Mr. Deering stopped at a railroad
depot to take her down to his house. Her
dress was deep black, indicating that the
work of this part of the tragedy must have
been done as soon us the horse was dr;ven to
the stables. The hat and boots of Mr. Deer•
kg were missing. These were probably ta
ken by the murderer. The *Ligon was a
longside of the dwelling house. Tho horse
was found in the stall in the stable with the
halter on him. The animal, io the agony of
hunger, had almost hung himself. Words
are wanting to give an adequate description
of the appalling scene; but from the above
the reader can form a pretty correct idea of
its atrocity.
LATER.
An additional victim to the horrible tra
gedy down the "Neck" was - discovered this
morning. The body of Berl Cornelius Car
ey was found under a hay stack His head
was crushed with a hammer and his throat
cut. The clothes of the supposed murderer
were found, tAd are stained with brood.
oa.FrintE or VIE MURDERER.
PHILADELPIIIA. April 13.—The murder
er of the Deering, family was arrested this
morning, at Twcuty third and Market streets,
by a policeman. He confesses the - crime,
but says he was assisted by another Matt,
whom He describes, and the police are on the
hunt for him. The prisoner is now at the
Central police station.:
[SECOND DISPATCH ]
Mrs. Dolan, grandmother of the Deering
children; fully identifies the prisoner as the
man enployed on the farm, and also articles
of clothing he has on, as belonging to Deer
ing. He confesses to'the murder of the boy,
Cornelius Carey, but says his accomplice, Ja
cob Gaunter, committed the rest of the
butchery.
DESTITUTION IN GEOROIA.—Gov. Jen
kins, of Gevgia, has appealed to the capi
talists of that State to respond to the call of
the Legislature, by lending money to the
State to relieve the necessities of the poor.
He offers seven per cent interest, good secu
rity, and bonds to run any length of time
th 3 lender may prefer. Governor Jenkins
says a large portion of the people of Georgia
are suffering from lack of food, and unless
speedily relieved must starve. The ,State
treui.nry is empty, and hence this appeal to
such people as have means.

- The Temperance Onestion., _
Editor;-,ln anszter 'to "G. T." I'haVe
the folloWieg. The gentleinan says 'fluty°
misrepieSented him "to some extent." You
who have read the aiiiisles, will know Wheth
er,' have. If it affords the gentleman any
consolation to think my feet artidleinerely;an
"effort" • be can do so. Inciitisisteney is tenet
assuredly the characteristic of the gentleman's
last article. lie Says acCording_tii thy' first
article I "stood actively identified with the
enemies of the temperanati movement," (let
him_prove this) yet he says, "I do not find
-fault-with-R.-+` 7 C-rfore-,his-sentimentsi—ther
are what we have all the while advocated.
If we both advocate the same sentiments,
and one is "actifety identified with the tine
mica of the temperance movement," the oth
er must be also. He says my influence is
going "to the'devil and to the whiskey traf
fic," and that he "can't endorse the heartless
oliey-of-11 1 -yet—he—dees—not "find
fault" with the sentiments on which this "in
fluence" and '"policy" - are founded. . In the
gentleman's first article he says he writes
"for the sake of the sentiment itself," and in
it tries to find objections to all but one point
of my previous article. As an illustration,l
quote from the gentleman's first reply: " We
cannot find language adequate to express our
abhorrence of the unchristian and antesorip
tura! sentiment." He does not fault my "sen
timent" now. I must be converting him,
and by the time he has read this article I
think I will have him all right.
The gentleman says my "remedy is not at
work in Waynesboro' except by the temper
ance societies." I would like to have some
evidence of this. I called on all to enter up
on an "active campaign," Are the "temper
ance societies" doing this? Men still get
drunk, and liquor is still sold contrary to
law, without any remonstrance from your
boasted societies. Let us see ' you doing
something in this way. Again he says, "We
are compelled to write 'TERM' upon his
"more radical grounds.' " And further, "We
preach all that he recommends." Here the
gentleman writes "TEKEL" upon the very
thing' he preaches. He is a strange man to
preach what he believes to be defective. He
says what I recommend "will not destroy the
evil "root and branch.'" Let him prove
this. This is just the point of the whole dis
cussion, and if the gentleman wants to throw
me on the wrong side I want him to do it by
arguments and not by assertions. The gen
tleman says I have 'somewhat changed my
position." I suppose he refers to ney,"leap
t'rom the frying.pan into the fire." This is
the only change he has mentioned and has
failed to show that I have done even this.-
1 wish the gentleman had told .me what kind
of a "dilema" lam in. lie has excited my
curiosity and I would like to know. He
still thinks my influencers on the side of e
vil, yet he does not fault its foundation,—
No one can consider me an abettor of intem
perance Then what is wrong All the
gentleman can sa,y is that I do not endorse
his theory. It seems natural with some men
to denounce everything that does not accord
with their mode of thinking. He complains
of my "standing off" and "doing nothing."—
If he thinks I am "doing nothing" why does
he make such , an "evident efort to disprove
what I have said, I have a very good, rea
son fur not displaying my "effulgent light;"
"great wisdom," "unbounded discretion,"
and, "great knowledge " at the temperance
meeting, I was not a resident of your village
at that time. The gentleman asserts that I
am opposed to a united effort. How did he
find this out? For his benefit I quote, the
last sentence of my first article. . "Let every
christian of every denomination lend his or
her influence, to: "united we stand, divided
we fall " The gentleman wants me and
"men of like stamp" to oryanize and show
my "remedy" more effectual. The gentle
man, his friends and the enemies of any tem
perance movement . will look on. Under
these circumstances, theta would be so few
left to do the work that he knows I would
fail: •To execute my "remedy" we must
ha , re men and a goodly number of them. I
thought I did give the "means to reach the
end proposed.' Put church discipline and
our laws into execution and the end will bo
accomplished. By .petition prevent liquor
dealers from taking out a license and don't
let them sell liquor without a license. As I
have said before, we have law enough if it
were executed. If used as present laws are,
"prohibitory laws" by the thousand would
do us no good. Let us prove what we have,
inefficient before we ask for more: I have
no "custom" to lose and as far as that is con
cerned, can say what I please, but I despise
the man that will not commit himself on this
subjecirfor "fear of losing custom," reputa
tion or anything else. Ber is no man at all.
Let Good Templars show their heads at the
coming borough election. Let them lay pol
itics aside, get up a radical temperance tick
et—one that will see that order prevails—
and law is respected and I will insure its e
lection. I will give you my influence. Let
the gentleman lay aside his bombast and in
vectives and answer me with solid arguments
instead of his assertions Tell us where you
stand and how you propose to do any good
among us, I started out with the following
propositions: lst,Temperance societies should
not be sectarian. 2d, Secrecy is not a con
sistent companion of the effiirt. 3d, Little
children should not be asked to sign the
pledge. 4tb, The efficiency of a society
founded on a pledge, at best, is to be doubt
el. sth, The effort should be made to erad
icate the cause and the evils flowing from it
must disappear. 6th, The way to eradicate
the cause is to put a stop to the selling of
liquors promiscuously, by executing church
discipline and our laws.
Has the gentleman yet proved any one of
these propositions false? Ye readers l an
