SCENES ON WALL STREET
for the past few days were hardly different
from those of calmer times. There is little
apparent excitement. The usual crowd
throngs the sidewalk in front of the Stock
and Gold Exchanges, and here and there on
Broad aud Wall streets there may bo seen
groups of brokers or loungers discussing the
situation. It is remarkable how soon any
thing [ceases to be a sensation here. The
reader at a distance may imagine the offices
of Jay Cooke & Co., Fisk & Hatch, Howes &

by crowds of excited people, but the fact is

j A most brutal and barbarous murder w.i>
I committed at O'Mara mansion, near the wa-
I ter-tank iu the vicinity of Montrose station,
on the line of the D. L. &. W. R. R , on Fri-
! day night or early Saturday morning. Th,
greatest excitement prevailed among the peo-
’ pie in the vicinity of the station, in conse
quence of the finding ot the dead aud muti
lated bodies of Mrs. O'Mara and her
daughter on Saturday morning, on
■near the track ot the D.
& W. Railroad. There was no suspi
cion of murder when tbe bodies were first
found, as one leg of the mother and an arm of
j the daughter were off. Tbe natural suppo&i-
f.PQ3 | tion was that they had been run over by the L
cars and killed. The bodies were removed to
the station house and a coroner summoned.
Upon a closer examination by the coroner’s
jury, it was at once concluded that the victims
had been murdered and not killed by the cars.
Suspicion at once rested upon the son and
brother of the victims; for it was well known
by many in the neighborhood that a spirit of
animosity had existed between the son and
mother and daughter, since the death of the
ilicating that I father. This was owing to an alleged unequal

The Herald is the only eight-page daily i

reading matter than any other, and certainly
as much news. It is as well worth ten dollars
a year as any paper that can be taken. We
propose :n addition to the attractions of the

Aud yet the bill was passed, and Col. Jones,
commercial disaster must follow, and this
must stop the demand for cottoo. In all
other panics that have ’occurred previous to
this, if a Bank suspended
its bills depreciated, and that
much currency was withdrawn from circula
tion. Now the case is different. Greenbacks
have not been in the least affected l#y the nu
merous failures, and the only money which
has been withdrawn from circulation is that
which is hid away in the pockets of the people.
Our advice, therefore, to farmers, is, that
they stand up to the merchants who have car
ried them through the summer and thus en
abled them to make the crop which is our
strong dependence in these days of trouble.
Listen to no man or newspaper which advises
rascality. It is just as important to the farmer
that commercial credit should be sustained
as it is to the merchant, because if Southern
credit is destroyed merchants will be unable
to carry the farmers through another year.
