THE PUBLIC FUNDS.

(. We presume that government will not be
induced, by the present artificial depression
OF the public stocks, TO offer greater inte.
rest on the new loan than they gave for the
last. they are probably apprized of the
tacr, OF which we believe there canno. be a
doubt, that the sudden fall in the price of
United States stocks IS not real, but prodcu-
ced BY northern plan to extort a still more
exorbitant premium for money from govern
ment for this purpose portion of the nolr
ders ofstocks make feigned sales at a con-
siderable discount 10 their conductors in spe-
culation. ~
I he conduct Of some of the northern banks
to some OF our city banks has also been of

they make on our banks, but requiring spe.

The following particulars OF this horridl
transaction we have from one OF the persons
who assisted in securing the murderer.
William Eitred. who resided in thls town,
about ten m,les from this village, on Satur.
day afternoon last, went into his house, deli-
berateiy and without any apparent cause,
seized an axe, which was at hand, aimed a
blow at tho head of his wife, which struck
the back part of her neck aud wounded her
badly; she. however, sprang for the door,
and while IN the act of opening il. she re-
ceived his second blow on the top of her head.
with the edge of the axe which almost Sc
vered il; she fell on her face lifeless at
the door. He then repeated the blows nm
I'll her head was mang led in the most shock
ing -nanner-then turned her over and cut
her throat with the axe the work of dealt,
Being eifectualiy accomplished, he inhuman.
ly draggtd her into the house. This crue,
nr nster was not yet satisfied with the hor.
rible spectacle he had presented, he caugh,
