Ualeigh News 15th iuat., A Horrid Case of Infanticide. Yesterday there came to light one of the most horrid casses of infanticide which we t-ver heard of ia this section.. About the hour of 2 P. M. a colored wonuu found the body of a newly born infant in the rear of the stable on the premises of Itobt Wyche, a respectable cohred citizen, on Edenton sU'eet, in rear of the' residence of Dr. Chas. K- Johnson. 'Hie head had been crushed with a stone, and a cord was found around its neck, showing that it had also been strangled, and a nurnor of bruises were found ou the body. As soon as the discovery was r ported to Coroner Magnin, tint officer sum oned a jury of inquest and repaired to tho poi. Of the natnre of the proceedings of the jury we are of course ignorant, as the in vtstigation was conducted private ly. After a session of some four hour aud a half the Coroner adjourned the jury to await further developments. We feel warranted, however, in saying that Mi. Maznin has a faint clue to the guilty parties aud it is hoped that the crime wilt soon be inOjspulaDlv nseu upon mem. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the color of the infant- Some say that it is a bright mulatto, but the majorh ty seem inclined to think that it is white. We siricerlv hope that the Deroelruloror perpetrators of this atrocious deed will speedily be detectied and given the full penalty ol the law, touching such mattery ' The Newbern Times says ; Robert S.
