Horrible Tragedy.

--We learn from the Memphis Avalanche that two wood-choppers named John Buck and George Ablinger have for some time past been pursuing their occupation near Wolf river, about four miles from that city. On Monday morning Ablinger was found stretched upon his back, in a little shanty they occupied jointly, with an axe buried in his forehead, and stark dead. Buck is suspected of having murdered his partner, and was arrested.
