YOKOHAMA.
A Wholesale Mtjkdeeee.—A farmer named Miyata in the Chiba-ken, some months ago, formed an atrocious design of murdering the whole of his relations living in the same house, with a view to possess himself of what property he could carry away with him. He thoroughly executed his purpose. His first victim was his elder brother whom he slew with a hatchet as he slept. He next < murdered his nephew, who was on a visit to the house, and then despatched his own father and mother. The wretch completed his bloody work by killing his brother's wife. Then, having taken all the money he could find in the house, probably no very large sum, he escaped, and remained undiscovered until a few days ago, when he was detected, arrested, and taken before the Saibansho of his ken. A full confession was followed by couvictiou. Need-
less to say the unnatural murdere was executed. His head has also beii exposed to public view and execralon.— Japan Gazette. \
