?earful ^ragped/-A Man Killed by a Dog.
Oa yesterday wo came into possession of
the particulars of a most singular pud fearful
trsgody, which recently occurred in one of
th%. mountain counties of this Stato. The
gentleman from whom wo received our infor
mation, has requested us to give noithor the
Dame of tho oounty in whioh tho horrible
aoooe took pluoo, nor tho names of tho actors
in it j in tl?o first place, because tho families
of the parties are among tho best and most
reepeotablo in tho county, and should not be
subjected to this additionn? m ti fica t ion f t
an act whioh they can, in no manner, bo hold
responsible; and, in the Second place, be*
cause publicity would now, iu no way, sub
serve tho onds of justice, as tho guilty party
has alroady expiated hie crime by so fearful a
punishment. Wo will only prcfaoo our ac
count of the matter by stating that our infor
mation was derived from a well-known and
highly esteouied gentloman of this city, and
may bo safely relied upon as perfectly correct
in every particular.
In one of tho mountain counties of Georgia
thore lives two families, oach before tho war
noted for its wealth and refinement. Since
tho war the families (whom wo ehall cali ro
pootively B. and L.) though thoy hnd, like
..nearly evory one else, lost everything by the
conflict, still retained the high position in so
ciety whioh thoy had for somo long timo filled.
One of thorn, tho L.'s, lost several of its mem
bers, as well as its fortuno by the war, and at
tho commencement of our story consisted of
Mr. L., agontlomau of fifty-fivo yoars of ago,
his wifo, nearly tho same ago, and nn unmar
ried daughter of about twenty five. In about
a quarter of a mile from thoir houso lived one
of the li.'s, a young man, who had recently
married a very beautiful young lady of tho
county, and having loft tho paternal mansion
was farming by himself ou a small tract of
ground. Tho two families lived somo dis
tance from tho county town, in a sparsely in
habited section of country, and being each
the nearest ueighbor of tho other, were, of
course, on torms of great intimacy. Between
tho young wifo nud tho daughter of ?Mr. L. a
fast friendship was sjoo formed, being nearly
the same ago and of similar tastes and dispo
tion, and relying upon each other for compa
ny in the daily absence of tho two gentlemen,
who*wero engaged iu superinteudiug the bus
iness of thoir farms. iflj
A fow days pinco Mr. II. informed his wifo
that ho had received a letter whioh would
oompol immediato attendance in Atlanta,
where bo would have to remain for several
?oi^-wd as it would be inconvenient for him
she slmula^llfj^^ city, advised that
with her during his abseooo^^t?? .8t;ly
morning he set out in his buggy;for AtlanVC
and b|a wife during the morning went over to
?jbdSgfrien? to stay with hor. When sho
arrived there sho told the young lady of the
nbsenoe of her husband; representing how
lonely sho would fiud her houso at night from
the faot that she employed no house servant,
and her cook, together with tho few luborers
employed on the farm, slept nt tho " negro
quarter," nearly half a mile from the dwell
ing house, and ended by asking Miss L. to
spend tho nights with her until her husband
returned. The young lady, after consulta
tion with her mother, readily assented to tho
proposition, and promised to come over during
the afternoon. Ilnvitlg accomplished hor pur
poso and feeling very niu?h relieved in mind,
Mrs. B. returned homo and spent the day
performing the usual household duties. When
the morning had passed away and tho after
noon oame, and then tho sun set without
bringing her friend, sho felt no alarm, but
thought that tho latter had decided not to
como until aftor tea, when her father, nevose
the field, whioh separated tho two houses,
Would esoort her. Accordingly tho evening
meal was eaton, household affairs arranged
and the cook dismissed for tho night to her
distant cabin at tho " quarter." About o
o'clock Mrs. B. began to feel a little uneasy,
as Miss L. had not yet como, when a servant
?ame up to tho houso and brought a noto from
her expected friond, stating that sho would
be unable to spond tho night with her, as sho
had promised, for her father, from somo oauso
or other, bad positively refused to givo his
consent to tho orrnngomont. Aftor deliver
ing the note tho servant took his d^parturo?
and tho bravo woman prepared to spor?d tho
night by horeelf. Feeling that ehe had a pro
teotor in a large and very fiorco ynrd-dog bo
longing to her husband, sho took him into
her bedroom, and aftor scouring tho houso,
lay down and resigned herself to sleep.
' About twelve o'<;look ubo was awafccc? from
her slumbers by a noiso in the houso and tho
'Angry growling of tho dog, and discovered
that tho hall door had been forced and that
some one was standing nt hor room door seek
ing an entrance. Speaking as loudly as her
fright would let her Mrs. asked, " Who is
thcro ?" A man's voice whioh sho did not
recognize, replied by tolling her to open "the
tloor." Again she asked tho samo question
and again received the same reply, the etran

rapidly told, rind tho sorvants were preparing
to go tho sceno of danger, when suddenly
Mr. L. was missed, and his wife, almost on
tho instant, as if struck by sudden presenti

party set forth, and ran as fust to tho houso
of Mrs. R as the latter had run away from it
fow minutes before Arrived there they
found tho man still on tho floor, and tho dng
itili grasping his throat. Boating him away
rom his proy thoy found tho suspicions of

?but tho teeth of tho dog had douo their
fork, and he was dead.
It appears that he had returned to his home
kt fivo o'clock tho previous ovening, aud
maring of tho departure of R., and tho inten
tan of his daughter to spend tho night with
he young wifo, ho positively refused to al
ow her to do so, assigning some frivolous
auso for the refusal. That nrght ho loft
tomo, saying that ho was going to set up all
ight with a sick neighbor, who lived some :
liles distant. It is supposed that ho con- '
ealod himso'f in tho woods until midnight, 1
nd then, influcnoed by unholy lust, forced '
u entrance into tho houso of R., to violato
io person of tho wifo of tho latter. When

an upon any other European power. Rus- fi
