1t has never fallen to our lot 60 record
more tragical occur renee than the follow
ing, which took pace 10 Halifax cnnty on
the 5rh inst. young man III that county
of the name OF William Parker, had for
two or three years paid his addresses to
a Miss Dolly Griffin, and the marriage of
the parties was expected; recently how.
ever Miss Griffin had discarded him.
On the 5tli, they, with some other company,
dined at a Mrs. Harris's, where Parker
behaved towards Miss Griffin with some
ru!cness.-H conduct aud some expires
sions which fell from him excited her sus-
picioDs that he meditated some serious mis-.
chief, and she invited two of her female
friends to accompany her home. VIII n
they had nearly reached her mothers,
Parker came out suddenly from an angle
,of the fence and presenting gun az Miss
Griffin, shot her through the arm and lodg-
ed the contents in her side. She fell in
Istantly and the horses rode by the other
you lg ladies being frightened, they were
also thrown. Parker tIen began very de-
Iiberately to reload his gun, the young la
dies, bereft by their fears OF the power Ell
Ither OF fight or resistance, entreated him
not to kill them. He told them he had no
such intention, that he was then loading for
himself, and asked one of them for corner
vi SHAWL toI Wdftlubs ne tore
| Off. When he had finished loading, he
placed the mu2Zle II his breast and sprung
the trigger with his foot, il missed fire !;
he then pecked the illns, and on the second
attempt the load entered his breast--he
tottered to the fence, against which he
leaned in much agony, and desired the
young Ladies to pray for him he then
walked forwards the dying Miss Griffin,
aud fell beside her. Both expired ia a
| few minutes.
Miss. Griffin was young woman of nae
r,t and the only chiid of a widowed mother,
! WHO heard the cries and firing, anil came
TO the place just III time to see her daugh-
ter expire. Parker was notorious for pos
sessiDg violent and ungovernable temper.
| The hour OF death is a dispassionate and
an hon ST nour. When too late he seems
to have been impressed with AUST sense OF

ielt all the horrors of presenting himself
before the avenger of blood in dread e.
