DESpER ATION

A most harrid murder was lately commit
ted in Fayette, Georgia ii was occasioned BY
the perRicious and destructive effects OF in.
Temperance, aud conuc eted witt lbe most at
teciing and aggravated circumstances. We
give the particulars, ia substance, MT having
room for details.
A Miss Pattao, the only daughtet Of Col.
=. gcotleman OF the first responsibility, after
IN acquaintancs Of two years, had accepted
proposals Of marriage to M. SPooner,
then, young man of unblc mished reputa.
tion. The parents acceded TO the wishes Of
the happy youths, and fondy anticipated in
their union, a psrpetui,y OF happiness for
their loved NJ aria, who it appears, was the
pride of their village, aud eodeared TO all
who knew her. Their hopes were soon
biasted-Spooner suddenly gave himself up
TO the most excessive intoxication--the CO.
treaties Of bis Parents, an extensive circle Of
Friends, aud eveo the suppiicalions OF his
amiaole Maria, proved inc nelleculal--he knelt
day and night 10 his idle BachuS--all hopes
Of reelaiming him were reIinqushed. lie
stiil conunusd his visits. Col. L. considered
il an Indispensable duty TO forbid this privi.
lege, and his daughter yielded to the com
m ands Of her parent. A lumber Of months
passed without any prospec, Of reformation,
when Me-. Spooner learnt tha, his Maria had
received ,he addresses OF a yousg gentle
man tom Maryland. He obtained infpfma.
n, a,iop of the intended celebration of the nu.
p,als, and the evening previous, secte,ed
himself in the Coils. yard when he saw,
through window his innocent victim seated
10 conves saion with her iover---he tapped at
tho door, which was opened by the ill-fa,ed
Maria, who Instantly received the contents
of P.sto in her side, and fell lifcless on tho
floor. Toe inf,tiated wretch endsavored to
end ais own existence by s,abbing himself
but his wounds are not con,idered mortal.
