I he follovsing circum I stances relating to ihe murder in Al ' legany count). Mil. on the 29th ult. j are gathered from an eye witness: It appears that Mr. Dunwoody, the deceased, who had lately emigrated hum Ireland, rented a farm in Alle gany count); that observing a num ber of stray horses on the farm (onr informant thinks there were four) which had committed some injury by the trespass, he confined ihein; that a Mr. Cressip. who also lived in the neighbourhood, owned the hor ses. and sent his son to claim them; that lie was inet by young Dunwoo. dy, a son of the deceased, who con sented, after some altercation, to rciurn three of them; but insisted on retaining the fourth until restitu tion should be made; that Cressip in sisted on this one also being restor ed, and threatened to shoot him in case of further refusal. Dunwoody still declined giving him up, when Cressip returned home, took his ri fle, and proceeded to put his threat in execution. On reaching the place the elder Dunwoody, who had by this time joined his son, ordered hiin to begone, and advanced with a pitchfork to intimidate biiu. Cressip tiled, and Dunwoody fell dead with out speaking a word. Cressip's for titude instantly forsook him ? he was frantic at what he had done, and t ailed upon the sum mig Dunwoo dy to take immediate revei.ge by shooting him also. ? He yielded with out resist ancee Co the persons who had collected, and was led awa> by them. Passing his father'*, he ob tained leave to enter the house unat tended, for the purpose as he said of changing his clothing. Being thus Iroia Ins guards, he at ailed hmiscll o| the opportunity and made his es cape.

Ferocious attack by Dig* The j following particulars have been re lated tu us by a gentleman who was an eye witness of the occurrence. A few evenings since a party amusing themselves at the house ot a friend near the western extremity of the corporation, were at a late hour in terrupted by the cries of an animal seemingly in the greatest agony of bodily pain. They determined im mediately to go to a wood not far distant* from whence the sounds ap peared to come. The moans became less frequent and more faint as iliey proceeded. Upon reaching the spot, they found a fine milch tow Iving upon her back, near!) exhausted as from the effects ot a recent struggle, and two large Dogs of the II ill! kind, tearing tier flesh in a most sh -i king manner ? in slioi t devouring 'he poor animal alive ! I lie dogs ?s soon as alarmed made their escape: while the cow was raised from the ground in a state more dead than other* i*e.
