Item To-day
13 at a discount. Nothing stirring of mo
ment—in fact, with the thermometer at 89,
uobodv cares about stirring round much.—
Even our Wall street Mammon-worshippers
keep pretty cool, under the circumstances.
Some Activity
was noticed near the Produce Exchange this
noon, owing to an advance in flour of 15 a
35 cents per barrel, but it closed heavy, ow
ing perhaps to the “high price of oats’.”
which seems to regulate the price of every
thing uow-a-days, from the services an ob
stretician to the required number of spou
dulics for a glass of sloppy lager.
Gold
has tumbled a little to-day, and at 3 o’clock
is quoted at U 2 7-8, having opened at
143 1-2.

steamship Saladln, from Rio Janeiro, we have
news Irom the River Platte toJuuo 29, w hich
gives au account of a severe naval engage
ment between tbe Brazilian fleet and eight
Paraguayan steamers and eight floating bat

on both sides, aud the slaughter I earful. The
victory is claimed by the Brazilians.
The engagement took place June 11, at
Riachuelo, a little below Corrientes, on the

At San Borgia, on the river L T ruguay, the

Fearful Record of Crime.
BORBIBLE CRIME—A MAS SLATS BIS FATHER
A>p MOTUfcU THE PARKACIDE AURI.STtP.
[From the cmclnuatl Commercial.]
Darytown, a small village nine miles from
Hamilton, Butler county, was the scene of a
terrible affray on Friday last, ilf which a
voung man named Sylvester Irwin killed Ids
father, John Irwiu, aud his stepmother, Jam:
Irwin. A statement of the affair is as fol
lows;
At dinner-lime the lather, mother and son
were seated at the table, discussing at length
family affairs, when the conversation became
fearfully exciting, and harsh aud violent lan
guage was indulged in. Finally the mother,
Mrs’ Irwiu, rose from her seat, and with the
carving kuife iu her right hand, rushed to
wards her son, who, rising from his chair,
fell back from the table, and drawing a re
volver, warned her not to make another step
toward him, else he would shoot her. At
this juncture tire futhet, enraged and excited,
rose aud took the part of his wile, aud seiz
ing a hatchet, rushed toward the young
mna,wbo Immediately fired at his father, and
tlieu turning toward the mother, also shot
her, both parents falling lifeless at liis feet.
The young man, Irwiu, who is unmarried
and aged about 30 years, then informed the
neighbors what he had done, and hunting
up the constable of Darytown, gave himself
up for trial, declaring tnat he committed the
deed in self-defence. The prisoner was then
brought to Hamilton and lodged in the coun
ty jail. The occurrence has caused consid
erable excitement in Darytown.
Another account is that Sylvester relum
ed to the house from plowing, when some
girls, from au upper-story wiudow of his
lather's house, spit down upon him.
Tiffs act of indignity excited the ire of Syl
vester, aud he demanded of his father, at
the barn, whether or not he countenanced>
such actiou. Hurd words followed, when
the step-mother, Jaue Irwin, ran out of her
house down to the barn with a caning
kniie and rushed toward Sylvester, who
drew a pistol. The father, John Irwiu,
seized a hatchet and stepped in between his
wile and son, evidently to protect both, be
ing proverbial for his peaceable disposition
The sou then fired at the father, the bail en
tering the forehead, aud causing instant
death. He theu fired at Mrs. Irwin, the ball
entering the right breast. Sylvester then
noticing that his last shot had not perform
ed its mission of iustant death, seized a knife
aud cut her throat from car to ear, aud with
a club beat her head. She only lived 20
minutes. Sylvester then fled, aud was ar
rested In Hamilton, as already stated. His
trial has been set down for Tuesday morn
ing, the Btb, at 9 o’clock. The Coroner ot
Butler County wns engaged Saturday even
ing lu hokliug an inquest upon the dead
bodies of Mr. aud Mrs. Irwiu.
HORRID AFFAIR.
From the St. Louis Republican, 3*l.
Early ou Thursday morning last the towu
of Chester, Illinois, was thrown into a state
ot great excitement by thq intelligence of
the,murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Darwin, a re
spectable widow lady, residing three or four
miles below that place. The murder was
committed between 10 and 11 o’clock Wed
nesday night, her throat being cut trout ear
to ear.
l'ne spectacle presented on eutering the
house is represented as being too revolting
for description. Tne body of the murdered
woman lay ou the floor near the bed, from
which she had beeu drugged by the murderer,
aud which was dreuched, with bumau gore,
her throat baviDg been cut In two places,
severing iu oue instance the carotid artery.
A severe gash had also been Inflicted iu tue
forehead.
The evidence elicited before the Jury of in
quest by the testimony of Aiuauda and Clin
ton, tbeduugbier aud sou of the uufortuuate
lady—the former aged about 12 years, the
latter some years younger —together with
that of Mrs. Louisa Darwin, her daughter in
law, is conclusive, aud fastens the guilt of
tliis horrible crime upon oue Gabriel J.
Forsee, who had formerly been employed on
the farm, and who had but receutly been re
leased from the State Penitentiary, whither
he had been sentenced for larceny. It ap
pears that he first entered the kltcheu ad
joining the house, thence through a window
looking Irom the room occupied by Sirs.
Darwin ana her two children Into the kitch
en, by which means he reached her bed. The
first intimation the children had of his
presence was occasioned by the screaming of
their mother,Which roused them from their
slumbers, and upon looking iu the directiou
wheuce the screams proceeded, Amanda
discovered a man moving backwurd and
pulling her mother out of the bed, after which
he endeavored to conceal himself behiud the
bed The noise made by the frightened
children caused a fear to come upon the
murderer lest the neighbors' attention might
be attracted toward the house, and flourish
ing a large, bloody kuife, of the bowie pat
tern, he threatened to kill them too if they
did not keep quiet. Iu the meuu time,
Amanda succeeded in striking a light just as
the villain was on the eve of departing aud
recognized him as Gabriel J. Forsee. Pur
suit was given early on Thursday morning.
Many citizens voluntarily teudered their
services,-and after a search of about twenty
hours the murderer was captured some twen
ty miles from this city.

FIENDISH OCTRAQE AT fiLKVy ftyp
We learn from the Cleveland Plaiudealer
of a most revolting outrage committed ou the
person ot a beautiiul young German widow
at that city on Thursday lost. The young
woman resides in Painesville, Ohio, and had
been to Columbus on business connected
with her husband’s affairs, who had been a
soldier aud killed iu battle. On arriving at
Cleveland, where she was a stranger, and as
certaining she could not pursue her Journey
borne until night, she applied to a hackman
to be conveyed to * hotel up town. The
backmau, after speaking to some friends
neat by. hade her follow him to his carriage.
The unsuspecting woman followed and was
conducted under the piers at the depot. A
terrible suspicion here possessed her and she
attempted to return, when she was seized by
the ruffian that ha-1 brought her thither and
the three “friends” tie had been seen to speak
with. Her head aud face were covered with
a coit, her mouth stopped with a hundker
ehict, and the brutal purpose of the assaU
auts successively accomplished. When site
recovered consciousness, late iu the evening,
the vil'nins had fled, and she was barely able
to crawl to the open air, where the attention
of some officers was arrested by her moans,
aud who carried her into tbe depot. She
was placed ou board the 9 o'clock train that
evening and taken to her home in Paines
ville.
Tbe fiends have not yet been arrested, but
the police are on their track.
