Toung Man Murders his Father, and then at tempts to kill his Sisters. After which he Commftts Suicide. i!S, M.-Garvin, druggist, Ac ton Jarvis, July'24, 1878. Scarcely baa, the comimtnity re covered from the shock caused by the sad death of J03, Culvert, at Hagersville, liy the hands of bis feilowman, than the neighborhood has been thrown into a state of the greatest excitement through the oc currence of a traajedy, the Revolt ing character of which is almost unparalleled in the annals of crime in Canada. The terrible event took place at a very early hour this morning at aifarm house about five mjles distant from this village, ind probably about thirty-Bye miles distant from Hamilton. ' i Oii tlio 10th" con., of the"town ship of Townsend, about a quarter of a mile from .the county line between Haldimand and Norfolk, and not very far from tbo village of Piockford lived a man named George Smith, a farmer, with his family, consisting of ' James, a young man 21 years of age; Jane, 18 years of age ; Jessie Ann, about 1G, and George, a boy of 13 years.' The family wore pretty well-to do, a fact attrubotable to the father's pareful handling of the resources. Coming to Canada about 22 years ago without a cent, ha has since managed not only to obtain control of a 130 acre farm, but also to bor como possessed of considerable money. It appears that James, who had been trained to do farming work, was getting1 impatient to obtain control of some wealth?and. last J. ILMoQarvia/driig^isfc, Acton ways attached to h'er person, not round her neck but by houio other meth od. Sometime in the dead of night James rose out of bed, stealthily crawled to thu couch of his sisters, who hlept in all their girlish inno cence. " Making sure that they were not nwako lie uoiielessly re moved tlio bedclothes, cut tho string by which thu bureau key was attached to bis sister's person "and stole down * stuira.. To open the huiv.au was but the work ol a moment. He grasped hold of tin* casli jbox, abstracted what after wards turned out to be about $75, and re locked the receptacle. His sister; on waking at about two in the morning, was surprised to find lUitt'thu keys had dieen removed, and, going down stairs she told her father that such was the fact, and suspected her brotuer. Juines wasj the guilty party. Ho was standing near liia father's bed, stating th.at ho meant to go with .tho Oddfel lows excursion to Hamilton, while his father SAid ho should'go to a neighbor's to work. After a littlo altercation in which James was blamed for stealing tho money, the father got,out of bed, and went to the field to datcli a horse, saying ho was going to.Simcoo or Water- ford for a policeman, if the money was not given up. James went outside with his father, wnen moro angry words were exchanged, and Jane returned "to her bed. Sud denly the voices ceased all was hirwhed and calm 3 a gentle sum mer morning-1 when steps wre heard on the narrow stairway. It was Jumes, who had returned. Ho advanced to.the bed on which kis sister lay, and gruffly said, " Are you asleep, Jane 1" Tho tone of his voice and tho n-cent angry altercation which she had heard between her brother and father theu-as6red'"J1eSJi;tfi'ix^r?J)'J_-. He 'asleep, and she replied. " No" and the same question being again put to Jane in a still more angry tuuo, she replied " No," Without a mo ment's warning,' ho raised a club and dealt Jano several blows abou t tho head.. He then- turned his attention to Jessie Ann, who~8lept with hersistsr, aimiug at her sevral blows. Fortunately she held up her hands to protect herself, and received tho blows on her ui ins. Falling on tho floor terrified, she screamed, " Oh ! Jim, Jim, you've killed me !" and he believing that was the truth, left her comparative ly speaking, uninjured. The-, furl- ous'fellow then went down stairs followed by George, and her sister Jane, where ho again attacked her. He then made for George who, witli manly pluck, seitzed a.copper kettle, and parried the blows, after- , w-ards Iijtting his brother in the face with it. The boy then ran to a neighbor's house and waking them tolit- about the awful deed. The neighbor hurried to tho scene, and there found it worse than ho had expected. Near the hay-stack, in a pool of blood, lay Mr. George Smith, hi3 head one tnass of pulp. A careful inspection of the prem ises, revealed facta which lead, to the following".conclusions ; It ia supposed that after the high words between father and son, the father left for the field with the intention of_ bringing home a hor'sa with which to proceed for a policemen to arrest his son. Incensed at tho action of his father, be followed him up to the north end of the barn,-and stealing up behind" him with the pump-hiindle dealt'.him a blow on tho back of the head. The whole of the bones of the skull were broken, as also those of. the face and the brains protruding. But what had become of tbo.mur derer 1 Alas ! he had trone to meet liia reward. Tn the barn,, but a few feet from where his father lay, James had completed the terrible tragedy by banging himself. The girl Jane, although uncon scious when found, is much better, and waB-4bie to attend the inquest. " Losd Duflerin will leave Canada on the 28th of September.
