ried between two and three years. had a quarrel
with his wife in the open street, iu which he took a
dessert knife sod plunged it into her belly, making
au incision of upwards of six hichts, through
which the bowels immediately protruded. The

notwithstanding every surgical aid, she died on Ss.
tardily teeming. at five o'clock. The deceased
was rensaskable for her tall and commanding figure.
She is said to have been in a state of intoxication at
the none of the affray, of which a feeling of jea-
lousy is the imputed cause.

On Tuesday se'nnight a fellow at Clipshani,jo

seven months old, to a person living at chomp
Quarries, for the sum of to!. 55.--The money was
paid down, and the woman delivered to the pur-

were wanted, to wake the bargain as binding as it
should be.
