Col. Jennison

An anonymous correspondent of the Democrat denies the murder of Col. Jennison’s wife and child in Kansas.  The statement of their murder was first published in the Buffalo Express, and had a general circulation over the Union, and as we never had seen it contradicted, of course we believed it to be correct.  We hope it may be true that Col. Jennison’s family are still living, as he has suffered enough from the Border Ruffians without that cruel stroke.
