t=” The people of Milford, Del., and vicinity, at last accounts, were in great excitement in consequenve of the perpétrativn-of-a
dreadful crime in their midst, which the.
Smyrna, Del., Times describes as follows:
“On Sunday afternoon last, about half-past
five o'clock, an interesting young girl, aged
about 14 years, daughter of Zach. Griffith,
on returning from a vist to a neighboring

killed and dragged through the Avoods and an
adjoining corn field to a ditch, wher it is supposed the fiend intended to. bury her in the
mud, which he-would doubtless’ have done,
passing’ near the place at the time to -feed
some hogs, whom the raseal saw, and made a
hasty retreat, unfortunately unnoticed. The
body was warm when found by the man above
named. On examination the skull on the
back part of her head had been crushed as if
by 4 brick or stone, and there was a small rope
around her neck, used , doubtless, forthe pur,

us, but whieh no doubt, gathered all the facts
that could be elicited, A hegro man, about 21
. years of age, belonging to,D. Curry, of Milford, has been arrested on suspicion of com-4
mitting the deed, as he was seen by Dr.
Mitchell, who was returning from a professional visit to the residence of Alexander
Johnson, near whose house the outrage occurred, to enter the weods shortly before the
young lady did. The unfortunate person, we
learn, was a very lovely and interesting young
lady, and was at the time, or had shortly pre.
viously been a pupil at the seminary. in Milford. ‘Phe people of the neighborhood are xo
‘incensed. that they intend ‘to lynch the perpetrator ofthe deed as soon as they obtain
suficient proof of his guilt.”
