M Some time before the commencement of-
the law war there resided hear "Whiteyille j

tance of the line of ihe; railroad a' well-tb.

lie had a wife and several children! Cwas
making a good living and, had' the reputa
tion. . Inr the , .neighborhood , of ' .being, an
honest, upright contented man and a good
knew him ,4 and without any cause that was
apparent Ito 1118 friends, he all. at - once
began ao show evidences of an.i unsound
mind, .j and ,finally it jbecame necessary to
take him to the asylum for the insane. Here
he remained t tintfl. some time in the y ear
1858,' wnen it was ; thbughi11 that he hadj
recovered sufficiently: from his malady to
be released.) and his brother went to the
asylum after, him. and carried him hpme.
He had .not been there Jong, .however, J
before he again began to show synaptonjs:
of insanity, which grew upon him until
finally,; returning one- evening' from his;
work, be commenced labusing his wife and
beating herwiUr stickX
Was sitting in the room at the time, expos
tulated with him, when his , fury became:
diverted from his wife and he turned upon;
his ' father, an aged man,' beat him and
kicked him until he had landed him into:
the' yard, when he seized an axe and.
chopped his head off. He then went back:
into the house and killed his wife and two.
or three of his small children, who had re-j
tired to their beds. Of two of his larger
children, one, a girl by the name of Marthe,'
was away from home, and the other, a boy
by the name of Richard j seeing what was!
taking place, ran off and made; his escape, j
His father mssed him, however, and pur-!
sued him, with his axe in his hand, until he
ran into the yard of a gentleman residing;
In the neighborhood. The ' infuriated man'
stopped at the gate,' had the sense to hide)
his axe in a hedge of high weeds with which;
the enclosure was bordered, and ; then
walked in. Upon being asked by the owner,
of the premises, who, with a neighbor,!
were standing in . the yard, what he had
been doing, he replied, "Nothing." The
two gentlemen, who had been previously;
advised by the boy of what - had taken
place, seized Rouse and securely f tied him
and the unfortunate man was soon after
returned to the asylum, where he still re-j
mains. .. : . ;, .... ;
We will now give the sequel to this chap
ter of horrors. Martha Rouse, the d.augh-j
ter, grew up to womanhood, when she sud
denly became deranged' and was sent to
the asylum about twelve months ago; and
the boy, Richard, who had- grown up a
staid, industrious . and intelligent young
man, being employed as a clerk by Col
H. B. Short,' also became deranged, carry-
ing a razor in his pocket with which he
said he intended to kill ColJs.'s son, and
finally, on Tuesday last, he likewise was
taken to the asylum, there being .now
three of the same family in the institution.
Thus has an entire family been obliter
ated, af it were, from the face of the earth,
some of the members of it suffering the
most violent death which can be conceived,
while others live on, in a condition worse
than death, in the narrow confines of a
maniac s cell.
