We learn from the Norwich Reporter, of the 6th inst., the following account of a murder in Sherburne [Chenango co., NY].

Mr. John Kelly of Sherburne was committed to jail last night upon a charge of murdering James Kelly, his brother. As represented to us, the brothers, resided in Sherburne, and on Monday, the 4th instant, the deceased and the wife of the prisoner were in a quarrel at the prisoner's house. The prisoner took a clothes pounder and beat James until he broke it. The prisoner then procured an axe with which he struck James several blows and beat in his skull.  When James was discovered by the neighbors, he lay upon the ground outside the house.  He was taken into the chamber where he died on Tuesday, the prisoner not going near him. After a full examination of the case yesterday by Justice Briggs, John was committed to prison to answer the charge of murder.  He is 58 years of age and the deceased was four years older.  Both are Irish. the prisoner, on entering the jail found one of his sons, a lad 12 years of age, confined there upon a charge of burglary and theft.
