Heraee L. Hyde, a well known St. Louis newspaper mas, and brother of William Hyde, of the llepnblkan, was found dead a a tall road track in the vicinity of Jefferson City, Mo., e the morning of the 2d. He had been run over by a pissing train. The Cereaer's Jury rendered a verdict of aeeidental death. At Washington, Iowa, on the morning of
the 9tth, Mr. 0. P. Hall, a wealthy and respected farmer, killed his daughter Emma, i
splitting her head open with an ax while she lay sleeping, and then blew his own brains out with a revolver. 3? o cause f c the tragedy is known, as the most kindly relations were supposed to exist between father and daughter as well as between other members of the family, those remaining being the mother and five other daughters, it appears to have been an undoubted cae of temporary insanity.

A Celebrated Irish Murder. Dr. Kerwin, tho famous Ireland's Eye murderer, was released from Spike Island prison, in Queenstown Harbor, on the 18th inst.. aftor twentv-seron
years of incarceration. Tho murder for which this mast was convicted in 1851 was one of tho most celebrated criminal cases Ireland has ever known. Dr. Kerwin was a wealthy and very distinguished physician in Dublin. During the early stimmor of 1851 ho visited the island in the harbor of Dublin known as Ireland's Eye. Soon after tho body of his wife was found on tho beach of this island. The woman had been stabbed to death with tho blade of a sword-cane. Tho visit of the doctor to the island was readily established, but thoro was little or no evidence going to show that his wife had accompanied him. The ablost counsel in Great Britain defended him, but the jury brought him guilty of murder in the tirst degree, and he was sentenced to death. The queen, however, in consideration of the fact that the evidence against him was circumstantial, commuted his sentence to imprisonment for life.
