SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday last,
David Clator, a private, belonging to a detach-
ment of the 3d Dragoon Guards, now stationed
here, put a period to his existence at Hexham.
The following are the circumstances attending
this melancholy transaction :—lt appears that
Clator had lately married a young woman in this
city, to whom he was passionately attached ; she,
however, both before and after marriage, had
been in the habit of corresponding with another
man, in the neighbourhood of Carlisle. This
circumstance, it is believed, coining to the know-.
ledge of Clator, he became extremely jealous,and
greatly disturbed in mind ; his wife, in the mean
time, having availed herself of the protection of
her mother, who resided at Hexham, went to live
with her, declaring that she could no longer re-
main with her husband. Clator now determined
to proceed to Hexham and demand his wife,
with a fixed resolution, as we understand, in case
of refusal, to shoot either her or himself, or both;
with which intent he carried with him two
loaded pistols. On arriving at her mother's,
he met with the refusal which he had antici-
pated, his wife resolutely persisting in having no
further communication with him. His leave of
absence being now expired, and being in a state
of the utmost distraction of mind at his wife's
conduct, he destroyed himself with one of the
pistols which he had unfortunately brought with
him for that purpose. The result of the Coro-
ner's Inquest had not arrived when this paper
was put to press.—(Carlisle Journal.)
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—About a fortnight ago
a young woman of the name of Gardner left hermaster's service
at Rossie, in Perthshire, in company with a man who as sup-
posed to be her sweetheart, viart, and has not since been heard of.
From some threats of injury which are said to have fallen from
the mart, and no trace having been discovered of the woman,
notwithstanding the most anxious search on the part of her re-
lations, suspicions have been entertained that she has met with
a violent death. The suspected person has been apprehended,
and is now in Cupar jail, and a precognition before the Sheriff
is going on.—( Cupar Herald.)
