Griggs and his Bon of the same name. The senior lived on n small farm about a mile' from tho village of Rnthven, and hia son/who is twenty-five years of age und'unmurriud, living at homo. Both father and son were in'the habit of becoming intoxicated every timo nn opportunity 'offered, nnd, when in that condition both were qurr(3l8omft, nnd they frequently settled their difficulties by aresort to u rough und-tumblo pugilism. Hitching up a team on Christmas, the two drovo to the village of Fox's Corners, in 'the township of Cosfield, and gratified their appe-. tites for strong drink until they wero_exlroiely quarrelsome. In this condition they started borne in the evJening, nnd were soon in a wrangle. The team was stopped before a farm house for the. purpose of settling the disputed points by n test of muscular ondurunce. The farmer before whose house they had stopped, hearing loud' and angry words, went out to them, nnd after much persuasion succeeded iii quiet ing their passions and starting them on thoir way home with seemingly friendly feeling for each other.' No further trouble arbse between them until they arrived at their destina tion. . j The wife nnd mother on seeing their condition, knew that a fight between them or l>etweou one of them and some other member of the family, was a very probable oc currence, and as she had done on many previous occasions, she quiet ly hid every article that she)sup posed could be used as a fatal (wea pon in case of an encounter. The men came in from taking care of the horses, and sat down by thp fire to warm themselves, and the ihoat seeined to develop the fumes of the liquor and their angry passions.' Tho conversation again grew quar relsome, and finally the son gave the lie to tho father. At this, the old man sprang to his fpot and gpisped the son. A scuffle emJued, which warmed the-two men up and thoroughly aroused their- worst passions. Chairs, tables, and other articles of furniture weretipset|nncl "things were strewn around! the room in a promiscuous manner, . The other members of the family screamed at the top of their voices, but none of them dare interfere be tween tbe infuriated father and son. After a long tmssle the endurance of the young man overcome the strength of his father, and be'threw, him violently to>the floor,, driving the breath from hia body. As tie father .lie thore gasping for^brdath, tho infuriated son kicked him in the head with his heavy stoga boots, and by chance sttuck a fatal point, the right, temple. A spasmodic tremor raft through the old man's frame, and his soul took its flight. He neither moved nor Bpoke. The Don stood over hira for , moment ready t&-repeat the kick if bis father- offered further resistance but-not' seeing him move he stooped over' and spoke to binx Receiving no answer, he took hold of tbe old man's hand and shook him, but lie exhibited no signs of life. Letticg go the hand, the father's hand drop ped iim.p upon his lifeless form. Then the son, in his whiskey- muddled condition, bpgan torealiza whuthe had loue.' In a semi-stupid state he stpod gazing at tbe corpse of him who. gave him life, and from whom he had just taken! it, while the other members of the family.in a fienzy of despair at the awful scene they hjid just witnessed, ran around the room wringing their hands and weeping in the most pitiful manner. As the son fully' realized the terrible crime be had committed, the effect of the liquor passed rapidly away. . Without speaking aj word to, the members of the.family, or answering the many que'fiiions put to him, ho walked deliberately from his home and delivered himself to' the nearest' officer. An inquest ' was subsequently, held onitbe body of the-father by' Coroner^ Wfgfield, and the jury brought in a verdict that the father came tol his death by a deliberate blow from bis son. .The^atter Was subsequently indicted for. murder,! and now is confined in Sandwich1* gaol, awaiting his trial." j -----ii-------------- ' Efps' Cocoa.
