Aninoirensive eid man of Adelaide town-
slun ifi the victim of foul xnuider. His
ilead •crushed in with an axe and hiS
• aheoat out from ear to ear. '
Intelligence teaches us of a moat horri-
ble tregecly occurring to Jonathan Robineon
an old and iespeoted resident of Adelaide
township, some time recently, tlae discov-
ery of which was made Saturday. The old
gentleman lived by himaelf, being a bache-
lor of 73 years of age, on Mr. Harris' farm
2nd eon. smith. Mr. Robinson was to
leave gone to Michigan on a visit, and
everybody, 'not semeg any stir about the
bouse, conceded that he had done so. The
facts were brought out Saturday, bowel er,
by a couple of children, who, while play-
ing about the premises, noticed the back
• door open ; and on going into the house
aav, to their amazement, the body of a
MAU lying on the floor behind the Stove.
The discoyery was at once made known
and a visit to the premiseinof older persons
revealed the feet that Mrallobineon had
been neurdered. The ne we of the murder
soon spread, and on the det oft house
13
being opened the foul odor4at , as emitt-
ed was something horriblaa shewing that
the body muse have lain' in the house
for days, and decomposition already set
in, On the arrival of Coroner Lindsay a
jury of twenty-four was enapannelled. The
body antpreraises were next visited by
the jury, when a most sickening sight met
the gake ()Mhos° present. At the back of
the stove lay poor old Robinson, with his
throat out in such a manner as to ahnost
sever it from the •tern*, while the bleed
lad run underneath him and saturated
his clothing and the fluor. The lop of his
head and his forehead were also meshed
in, as if from a blow with the back of im
axe, and his arms were both broken, while
blood and hair were notiGeahle on the
stove ancl floor, An axe was found in the
shed, on which were severallgray,hairs, and
a cap near the door which the old man con.
tinually wore was found, on the peak and
top of which was the imprint of the back
of an axe, while a chair near the back door
bad an indention in the seat as theugh
made by the back of an axe. From the
appearance of the interior it is reasonable
to suppoue that the old man had been read-
ing, as a lamp stood on the cupboard, and
near by a table on which were his specs
• and paper, rind had got up to answer a
eummens for admittance from the rear
door, and, opening this, was struck twice
on the head by fin axe in the hands of an
assassin, smashing it in, and breaking his
arms in hiwattempts to ward of the blows.
Stunned by the blows, the poor old man
eppears to have fallen forward oa the
• stove, as the ,marks thereon bear out this
impression., The murderer next appeers
to have dragged his viotim from the front
tine stove to the rear, and placing his
ead on ;apnea -kicks ainder the stove, out
the poor old man's throat, as before stated.
The house was ransacked, and drawers and
cupboard opened, robbery apparently being
the incentive to murder, as it was supposed
the old man had money. Them is no clue
to the murderer. The 'neighborhood is
greatly worked up over the affair.
A jury was empannelled and after a
short session, returned the following ver-
clicti-"That Jonathan Robinson, at some
date eubsequent to the 13th September, at
his house in Adelaide. was feloniously and
with malice aforethought killed • and. Mtn,
dered by some person or persons unknown.'
It ie understood that the Township of
Adelaide contemplate the offering of a re-
ward of $5,000 for the apprehension and
conviction of the murderer.
It has been ;earned that a deposit of $111
to his credit is in the Bank of Commerce.
He was supposed to have abont $30 in his
possession before the mender, but not one
cent was found after the discovery of the
Tbe unfortunate man was evidently a
°rueful house.keeper, for the bedding and
surroundings present a very cleanly appear-
ance.

when Shakespeare and 13acon are so -
strangely mixed up by the skillful literary
art of an accomplished man, it will be
gratifying to have brought together 'What
is known about Shakespeare,' and this is
done in a very readable article; and
whether he wrote the plays that have
always borne his name, here, at least, are
facts relating to them which all admit.
Louis C. Elston, the bright and compe-
tent writer on musical topics, discourses
of 'Hector Berloiz and his music' ancl the
illustrations heighten the interest of his
narrative. 'The indigenous Animals of
the Andes' treat of that Llama family
which gave Peru beasts of burden and
fleeces for the garments of Incas, and
common people. A lady tellsiof a visit to
far-off 'Tangier' town that England once
held, and, which would even now be an
important hole. beside Gibraltar. 'Three
Days on the Summit of Mont Slane' gives
a picture of what our martyrs for science,
even in these days of modern improve-
ments, " are compelled to endure. The
stories and adventures in the number are
all attractive and well illustrated, and
some, like 'Venezuela. and Great Britain,'
by Ahnont Barnes, of no little value.
