day, at the West Riding magistrates' court, Huddersfield,
James Rhodes, a sailor, was charged with stabbing Joseph
Whitely on the 17th instant. The prisoner had for
several years paid his addresses to a young woman residing
in Bradford-road, Huddersfield, named Ellen Cook, pre-
vious to leaving the town to go to sea, and shortly after he
left (cow several months ago) she wrote to him, breaking
' off her connexion with him as a sweetheart. The prisoner
wrote two entreatiog letters to the young woman, but the
latter took no notice of them, and finally the prisoner
came through from Hull to see her. He then found that
she was receiving the attentions of another young may,
named Joseph Whitely, and was naturally very much
annoyed at the discovery. On Saturday, the 17th inst.,
about ten o'clock at night, the prisoner went to the bonne
of the young woman to see her. She was not at home, and
he waited about the house for her return. He was bean'
meanwhile to sharpen his knife on the stones of the garden
wall. At twenty minutes to 11, Joseph Whitely, and the
young woman Cook, who had been out walking together,
entered the house from another direction. The prisoner eaw
them enter, and waited till Whitely came out, when he
stabbed him in the right thigh. The weapon penetrated
Whitely's ooat, trousers, and shirt, and inflicted a deep'
flesh wound 1 inches in leb, from which a large guruitity
of blood quickly Sowed. The prisoner was committed for
trial at the next York amines, bet was liberated on bail.

THE WIDOWER CONDOLED. —About a fortnight
since, au old man, named Charrett, residing at Code Mullen,
bad the misfortune to lose his wife, sod in proof of his
affection for her whom be had sworn at the altar to love
and cherish through life, be performed the last sad office
in his power for her remains, by himself making the coffin.
The funeral took place a few days afterwards, and when
the inconsolable widower wept to the clerk of Canford
parish to pay the expenses, he stated, amidst the tears that
rolled down his cheeks in great profusion, that to save
time be might perhaps as well do two things at the rune
time, as well as one, now he was there. The clerk looked
somewhat amazed, wondering what the two things were,
when the old man informed him that he would pay for
the banns being published of marriage to • second wife.
The fact is he had fallen in love with the woman who had
refused his tint love. The reason he gave for his haste
in contracting a second marriage was, that the cherry
moon was coming on, and he had no one else to keep the
birds from his cherry treen —Sheets:writ Journal.
