Horrible Murders.

      Three natives of New Zealande, taken on board the ship Ploughboy, of Nantucket, murdered two of the crew, and wounded a third in the dead of the night, while in the South Sea. Two of the murderers escaped in a boat, and one was shot. Revengefor a supposed injury, was the motive that prompted them to commit these horrid deeds.
