> MP— Tha following, which we dip from j «M of oor exchanges, presents human j • nature in n light seldom equalled for do- j prarity nod broulitj : — Benjamin Turner and his wife bad tine Beach, the last week in December, ! occasion to go from borne on Brigan- ' and left the house in charge of n son ; i and daughter, aged respectively about' •eeenteen and twentj years, and wi^h i them, also, a little girl about four years . of age, -named Smith. Earlj on New Year's evening, the marderer, a young 1 Ann by the name of Gandy, twenty years of age, wbo lived about a mile • from Tnfoerl* bouse, started out in the bay in bis skiff end decoy ducks, with the ostensible purpose of watching the ' retting of the game in the bey for tbr . night. It appears that after putting : ■out the decors, he relnrnod ashore nod ■proceeded to the house of Torner, with > 'the intention of robbing ifc^knowing ) that there was some $500 iu gold and | silver left there. Being inliuiate with ! the family, he remained a short time : and took his departure. About twelve o'clock the same night ^ ■ the brother and sister a ere aroused from | alum be re by knocks at the door, aud a j demand lor admittance. They aoop : • recognised the voice of young Gandy, ;• "ite neighbor 'and supposed friend. The yoang woman told bor brother to go down and let himliwpwhich he proceeded to do, w&n, as be opened the door, he was suddenly struck by Gandy yriili an axe on the heed inflicting e horrible wound. , He, however, qnickiy recovered bis sensev end immediately grappled with the murderer ; by this time the sis ter beard the aenffle, aud csmc bravely 1 to ih+aaaietabee-wf Ur brother. ! Tbsy succeeded In patting Qandy out, | end fastened the door. The woman • then managed to bring the young inatt 'to his bed again. Gandy then broke the door open, rushed in and aeixed Turner'* gun to finish hit horrible hatchery. The youug woman again V grappled with bin and actually socceedep in wreetling the gun from bis bends, juid threw it ont of tb window. 8he theu tried to make her escape, but when la the act of climbing out of Ibe window, she was again mat by Gandy, who had gone around and climbed op the porch to heed her off. He had the gun la hie handa once more, and he took deliberate elm at ber head and fired, bnt si that instant. she threw a chair down speaklm. The abot, however, struck the poor girl In the arm, causing a frightful wound. Sbe then escaped IhrwagU the buck door, made her way , to the nearest neighbors, and gave the flUrm. The enppositlon is -that while sbe was away, Ibe lehnmen wretch shot yoaug Turner as bs ley in bed writhing in agony from the blows of the exe. He 1 1 * " than eat ire to the bouse, and it eooo ' ij- lag's heap of ashes, with the boaea of 1 lbs Bordered boy and the little girl 1 Ssilh, «io pttfcta! In tb. llu,..
