THE HUNTINGTON COUNTY
TRAGEDY.
%. The Chambersburg Repository of Thursday,
gives the following particulars of the
horrible murder of Mrs. Brown and five of her
children, a short account of which we gave
on Monday:
One of the most shocking fciurderS?or
rather massacre of an almost entire family?
that ever cast a stain on civilization, was perpetrated
in Cromwell township, Huntington
?-?? -? HafnnJav. 9r?iI, nil. The ororm.ient
LVUillJ t '/II ? r
particulars, as gathered from an individual
present at the examination are these:?Wm.
Brown is the father of the murdered family
which consisted of tin parents and six children.
The eldest daughter is married to
Robert M'Conahy, who lived on his father,
in-law's premises as a tenant. Brown it
seems,Js a rough man, addicted to imtemper
ance; when in this condition was in the habit
of threatening to ki.l some of his family, though
rever known to have attempted any thing of
the kind. He was in the habit of working in
the neighborhood at carpentering, whilst
M'Conahy conducted the farming opertfions.
On Saturday morning,-the old man and his
oldest eon, aged aboai left home for their
places of employ men'; shortly after which,
M'Conahy proposed to the next oldest son ant
a younger one to "go a hunting," at the same i
time directing the daughter and another of1
the boys to do some work in a cornfield.? i
M'Conahy's wife having a day pre* ?:is been .
conveyed to a friend's hou a: some distance, (
by hep husband. After the above disposition (
had been gone into, the whole family was
dispersed, except Mrs. Brown, who remained
in the house; M'Conahy and the two boys, on
the hunting excursion hul not proreed? d
much beyond half a mile f. onr the house when ;
the bodies of the two hoys wore afterwards
found, it appeared that the oldest, a stout bov
had nat been mortally wounded by the shot, j
that he made desperate battle, until overcome i
by h is merciless assailant, u ho finally cut. his
throat. Whilst the scene was enacting, the j
the smaller boy ran ?ome distance but was j
mwiuul chrO *\nr? Ixvifon to ilpAll). Slid. Willi I
t,u,ouvu' " - ? ,
his brother, buried beneath leaves and other
bushes.
Shortly after this, SfirJ and her brother
W" engaged in the corn field, were attacked; the
g?'rl was shot, but there was ample anil painful j
evidence to show that the wound was not
fatal, and that she resisted the murderer with I
extraordinary power, which ceased only when I
both her arms were b-oken, and her throat;
cut from ear to eat! T.ie boy hem, as in the j
other case, appeared to ha* e been first shot,
and then beaten and at lbbcd un'il life was ;
extinct. The bodies were then covered tip. j
The next object of the fiend incarnate was the :
mother of those murdered children. She was
found in the house and was despatched with
a common butcher knife, with which her head
was nearly s nered trom her body, though r.ot
w ithout manifestations of having resisted her
destroyer, to the extent of her p ?\wr. She;
was buried irrher b -d, and the blood carefully
wiped tiT the floor. The murderer then sta
tioned himself in the barn, with two loaded
rifles, ?t a point commanding a view of the
door of the dwelling house, and awaited the
approach of the next victim?. The first was
the eldeRt son, who, when u;w>n 'lie threshold
of the door, received a fatal shot, and* fell
jfcad upon the spot, lie w as dragged inside
the house, and the door clo-ed. Next came
the father, and upon putting his hand to the
door, found it fas'en<'d, upo i which he made 1
some exclamation of dissatisfaction, and at the :
same moment, heard the report of a gun, and
flit that a ball had passed close to his eyes
as to cause considerable pain; in otoment
alter, another discharge of a rifle sent a ball
bo as to cut a part of his ear, grazo his whiskers,
and pass through his hat. H^then cast
his eyes towards the barn, and discovered a '
pors?>n hastily turning round the corner, dircc i
ting his course to the woods.
Upon effecting an entrance into the House, j
Mr. Brown found his eldest son upon the floor, ,
dead, upon further exam nation, discovered his
wife concealed by the bed clothes, life was
also extinct. He then communicated the
dreadful circumstance to the neighbors, who 1
.immediately insti uted a search for the other1
members of the falmiy, who were found as
already described, the searches b?in^ led in !
right direction by reports of the guns previous, j
ly heard. The next question was Who is ;
the Murderer? The character and habits of
Brown at once gave a color to the suspicion
that he had returned home maddened, as t/.ousaud?
have been before htm, by intoxicating j
liquor, anu riau mus put inioexecuuou ms on
threatened and unnatural purpose. He was
secured?but fortunately for lii:n, he had re.
? mained sober that day, .inJ r?niy needed to
bcirig forward his proofs to satisfy all thai he
could not bo the murderer.
McConaby, the son.in law, was present
and in reply to an insinuation from him unfavorable
to Brown, the latter at once accused ,
him as the criminal, averring that ho was the j
man he saw running from the barn, &.e. This
soon resulted in the liberation of the old
man and rhesecuring of McConahy, who, in
all the subsequent examination, became more j
deeply invo ved in condemning circumstances. |
and was finally committed to Huntington jail
to Await his trial in August.
Providence seems to have interposed in a
remarkable manner to frustrate tlie design of1
r , # c
tho assassin. If M'Coiiany is the guilty man.;
t!?e only object he can nave ii.d in view was ;
to destroy the whole family iu order to secure ,
the property of hi? father- in-law to himself
?and it would seem that the calculation was
that the public would be rea?ly to o-ncludv
that Brown had committed suicide?a conclu. \
sion that might have lei u produced if ho had
fallen by the shots aimed at his head, and had
had left his employment prepared for such a
deed by intoxication.

The commissioners oa the part of the
l-nitcd States and Texas, for marking
the boundary beweeen these two nations
me at Green's Bluff, on the Sabine river,
on die 15th of May, in pursuance of the
adjournment which took place in March
last, for the purpose of allowing each
of the two Commissioners an opportunity
to refer to his Government a disputed
quest on wl? ch was raised as to the proper
point, of commencement of the line,
and whether it sh'?uld run along the
west" ra bank of Sabine p iss and lake, or
along til ir middle from die sea to the
head ed'said lake.
This question has been decided, suslainine:
the Commissioner on the part ol
the United States in the position originally
taken by him, that is, the line will
ue commenced at the point where die
Sabine discharges its waters into the sea.
on lie Gulf of Mexico, and will proceed
thoJic- along the bank of that river (including
under that lerm what is called
"Sabine pass"-anti '-Sabine lake") until
the sa d western bank intersects the 23d
degree of north latitude, and thence by a
due north lii.'e to Bed river.
This secures the United States in the
exclusive jurisdiction over the waters
of the pass aiid the lak<* in as full a manner
;.s over the rest of the riveras far up
as the 32d degree of latitude which is
altogether i ? accordance with our view of
the true intention of our original treaty
w.th Spain of 1619, which constituted the
basis of the conventions with Mexico,in the
first place, and with Texas afterwards,
for the demarcation of this boundary.
The work will be pushed, with a view
to the completion of as much of the line
as shall be practicable this summer.
