The following additional particulars of the Thorn-dyke Thorn-dyke murder have been elicited: John (ionlin, a man 70 years -old, had a farm worth $1 jKWi, which he recently conveyed to his son, Almoii M., tak ing iiiU K a mortgage lor me ioi uic support of him-elf and wife; his other son, John T., was dissatisfied with the arrangement, and probably thought by the death of his brother and family that tiie property would fall to him. This is l he only motive thus far assigned. At the lime of the murder the old people were absent on a visit, ami the inmates of the house were the murdered man, Ahuon M., aged twenty-live; Emma A., his wife, aged twenty-two; their children, Ira li., aged six, a little girl aged seventeen seven-teen months, Anna A., their niece, aged nine, and John, aged seven; the brother and hi nil num.

He informed the neighlwrs and the flames were ex-tinguishdl ex-tinguishdl without much damage. The Ijodies of the father, mother and infant, who occupied the same bed, were soon found, but so mangled and scorched as to he hardly recogniza- . hie; the little boy, who slept in a crib in the same room, was severely ' wounded, but may biirvive. Tho hloixly deed was evidently committed with nn ax which was found on the premises. The wounds of the murdered mur-dered persons were inflicted upon the head, and must have causal instant i death.

Illness oT Vice-President M il-son. il-son. New York, 16. A Boston letter to the Springfield Jitpitblirtin says there has been much anxiety the past week among the few who have ' known the facts concerning the alarming illness of Vice-President Wilson. His attack at-tack was followed by partial deafness and partial blindness, and the general character of his symptoms was such as to threaten the loss of his j tower ald activity, if not his life. He is now improving, but is by uo means out of danger. He has been sojourning in Boston for some weeks, under the care of Dr. E. H. Clarke, and has seen very few of his friends. His incessant labors in the last election, followed by the strain and anxiety of last winter, and accompanied ac-companied by a good deal of work on his anti-slavery history, are regarded as the immediate cause of his present illness.

The commission to inquire into tho outrages- on the Texas border arrived here this morning morn-ing and had an interview with Secretary Secre-tary Fish during the day.

McKeuzie. The Texas I legislature instituted an inquiry into Mexican and Indian wrongs upon the citizens of that State, when sonic of uie most respectable residents of Juices Jui-ces valley went to Austin and gave stronger testimony than they had previously given be lore tiie cominis- ! sion. The commissioners represent tiie amount of damages, direct and consequential to those who have suffered suf-fered by these raids, at between n-y and sixty million dollars. Five hundred hun-dred petitions, in the way of complaints, com-plaints, with speeiri cations, were presented pre-sented to the coniiuissioners, and ' these were supported by 1,600 affidavits. affida-vits. Many o: the petitioners and af-mUvits af-mUvits are represented as men of line education and most respectable character.
