The storm is said to havt originated in the Gulf of Mexico, and the voloclty of the wind was fifty miles aL hour.Dreadful Murders at Vincennes.A truly horrible murder occurred at Vir-cennes on last Wednesday night. An old French farmer named Vacelefc, his wife aged fifty and bis two sons, 16 and 14, were bru tally murdered with an axe during the night. Their honse was a small one, hedged in by a dense forest of scrub oaks. The old man had $ 100 in the house, which he had drawn from bank that day. But one mem her of the family escaped, a hired man, also French, named Provost, who ran over to the neighbors at an early hour with nothing on but a shirt and told them there was “an—} of a time a Vacelot’s.” The family, whose name is Bruetle, gave him clothes to pat on, prepared and ate their breakfast'as usual, then went over to Vacelot’s honse and sent for the sheriff. The scene wsb truly horrible. Vacelot’s body, covered with blood, was lying in the doorway, whilst the other* were all in bed. Mrs. Vacelot appeared not to have moved during the scene and it is supposed her senses were paralyzed with terror.Suspicion strongly points at Provost as the perpretrator of these ghastly deeds. He was arrested on that charge and strongly threatened with lynching. His story is that he escaped by jumping through a window. But the window was found to be very hard to open, and connected with the sash By unbroken cobwebs. The bodies also were fonnd to be perfectly cold and rigid and the bloody tracks beside Mrs Vpoelot’s bed were those of a barefoot person. The neighbors, however, give Provast a good character, and many believe him innocent.GLINTS AND SNAP SHOTS.r\ TTT3WD trrrooH. SC31 North50 ST.
