FATAL MISTAKE.
Cincinnati, Sept. 1. — Peterson
enticed fanner Trusley's daughter
to this city. Trusley finding her
took her home. Peterson followed,
making threats against the old
man, and last night approached
her house. Trusley took a shot
gun, determined to kill Peterson
on sight. Trusley's son, aged 18,
learned his lather's intentions, ap-
proached to dissuade liitu, when
the father mistaking his son for
Peterson, shot him dead.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER DROWNED.

SINGULAR SUICIDE.
At <t clain bake given by Con-
gressman Odell and other Congress-
men and prominent persons, there
was present a young Italian named
Vianui, of the Italian Minister's
suite, of a prominent family iu
Iiome, who committed suicide un=
der very singular circumstances.
Dr. Doermus, one of tho guests, an-
nounced that Mr. Viauni, who
possessed very remarkable dra-
matic talent, would favor tho com-
pany with an Italian recitation iu
imitation of Itachael. The young
man then took his position in the
cen ter of the groupe aud began his
recitation, his voice clear and well
controlled, gesticulation highly dra-
matic, limbs quiver with passion,
while the expression of his face
was startling. Once interupted
himself aud turning to John A.
King said, "You understand Itali-
an?" lie then resumed and finished
with the exclamation in Italian,
"God, who judges all, will judge!''
He then took a pistol from an outer
pocket of his coat, and applying it
to his temple he firod. He fell
partly on his lace, perfectly motion-
leys. lie exclaimed, "wonderful,''
a/id the applause commenced. When
Doreinus rushed, exclaiming,^"Great
God, gentlemen, ho is killed!" Many
at first thought this part of the en-
tertainment, but on lifting the
body tho horrible truth became
manifest. Dr. Ellis probed
wound, and pronounced the case
hopeless, llo lived half an hour,
but never spoke. No cause was
assigned for the terrible act.

THE BLOODY GROUND.
Marion, Williamson County, III.,
Aug. 31.—Tom Russell, James Nor- v
ris and David rleasant, now report-
ed to bo iu Texas, it is alleged aro
chargoable with nearly all the as-
sassinations that have taken place
in this county. These parties may-
bo in Texas, hiding from the ven-
geance which is sure to overtake
them sooner or later, but the gener-
al belief is that they are not; that
they aro skulking about iu this and
adjoining counties, awaiting a fav-
orable opportunity to make sure of
tlio next victim marked ou the
death-roll.
.7 AW.3 MORRIS
is a man betweeu twenty-five and
twenty-six years of age, born and
reared in this county, aud regarded
hero as a vagabond—a character so
low ia tho scale of humanity as ouly
lit to be just what ho is represented
--an outlaw, llis father, John
Norris, is deemed one of William-
son county's best citizens, who
deeply deplores the terrible prolli-
gacy of his son, but is in no way re-
sponsible for his acts.
TOM RUSSEL
is also a native of the county, about
the ago of Norris, and represented
to bo of vicious habits, liis lather
is counted among the oldest aud
most respected citizens—a wealthy
farmer, and tho family possesses
culture aud refinement, more so
than any of those connected with
the feud.
DAVID PLEASANT,
one of tho reputed murderers, is
said to bo a des)>erado of the first
water, and acts in concert with Nor-
ris aud Russell when out on the
warpath in quest of scalps.
HIRED ASSASSINS.
From all that can bo gathered,
it is evident that tlfe killing iu this
county has been done by a few
persons, carefully selected and
equipped for the business. There
soeuis to bo no doubt about this,
whoever the parties may be. Men
governed by no impulse but that of
reward for the blood of their fellow-
men. The assassins in each case
have been hired, paid a price for
the heart's blood of those who have
so recently been sacrificed ou the
iltnr of revenge.
THE DEATH-ROLL.
Old Jim Ucuderson, it is said,
was killed by Jas. Norris; Dr.
Hinclili by Tom Russell; Samuel
Henderson by Gordon Clifford,
alias Texas Jack; Old George
Rulliucr by Tom Russell and David
Pleasant; Col. Geo. W. Sisuey by
Norris; Dave Bulliuer by Torn
Russell and David Pleasant. The
murderer of Wm. Spence, it soeuis,
is iu no way suspected, but no
doubt he fell by the hand of one
of those desperate characters men-
tioned above.
