A brutal murder of an old man named Brown, and his daughter, was committ- ed last; Thursday, at West Winchester. Clark, a son of the murdered man was arrested on suspicion, and after .being confined a few daysin gaol, confessed being guilty-of the crime; He made an open confession before the 1two can- stables and the Rev. Mr -Rowat. l'n confessing he stated that he opened the door below to bring his father down stairs; that he struck him with the axe at the foot of the kitchen stairs, expect- ing to kill him instantly and leave him till morning. Having partly failed, his father ran into the bedroom below, where the struggle between them took place, the final and fatal blow being dealt on the prostrated body of his father outside of the bedroom. Just at the door he then saw his sister looking on, and despatched her to cover the crime of murdering his father. lle states that neither his mother nor his wife, nor any other person is implicated. On being pressed to give the reason of his committing the awful crime, he said he could not give any reason. He had thoutht ofdomg it all that day. His mind was strangely acted upon, and a determination to do the deed seized him that evening. The inquest is still in progress, and the bodies are being bur» ied. - Report of Seventeenth Meeting The minutes of' the prev10us meeting wexje read and‘ adopted.’ The Council met at the Council Chamber, Eglington, on Monday fore- notjn of last Week, all the members pre- Sent; Communications were received from J A Scarlett, asking the Council to open road at east end of Lots 36, 37, and 38, 3rd concession from buy; from R E Law ofiering to purchase a portion oi the Law farm; from J R Hill, in reference to his delay in making application for the collection of school rates, Accounts were received from J Ross Robertson, 'rc McGlashan road; from Colwell & Br0., for lumber; from Dr. Richardson, for medical attendance on an indigent person; and from John Bailey for burying a horse.
