Murder.—The Maumee Times of the 9th inst., published at Perrysburg, Ohio, gives the following account of a most horrid murder:

"For several weeks past, a small party of Wyandott Indians have been engaged in hunting in the counties of Wood and Henry. Three of them, two men and a woman, encamped about ten days since upon South Turkey Foot Creek, in Henry county, and some time between Friday and Sunday, they were all murdered, their throats cut from ear to ear, and their heads horribly crushed. Their bodies were found by a party of their own tribe, behind a log.—Their encampment was destroyed, and property, consisting of furs, horses, blankets, dogs and some money taken away. The Indians immediately took the moccasin track of the assassins, and traced it to the house of a Mrs. Lyons, a widow woman residing in the interior of Wood county, where they found most of the property secreted under the floor, and several of the horses in an adjoining field. Suspicion rests upon her son, a young man of twenty, and a youth by the name of Anderson, aged seventeen, both of whom have been arrested, and taken to Henry county for examination."
