named Katy Creedon, charged her hus-
band with having killed her on Saturday
night. She stated to Alderman Cox, that
her william of husband WAS in the habit os
maciating" her, and tearing her limb
from limb !" and that he had often q cut
her to pieces" but particularly on Saturday
when he had quite kilt her, and she never
more expected to 80 about, she fel tso de
stIoyed in her inside.
Alderman Cox To whom this cxtraordi-
nary sort of refrigeration was quite novel;
ty, desired the poor woman to describe her
cruel husbands conduct more correctly; for
badly as he might have acted, the object
of his inhumanity was still III the land OF
| the living.
Mrs. Creedon persisted in saying that
her husband had killed her, and she won
dered how any one could think otherwise,
| who heard her say that he had uaaciated"
her.
| Alderman Cox was at a loss for the real
meaning of the word maciatc." but Mrs.
Creedon's husband explained il by showing
marks of nails upon his face, which his
partner had scratched in the style of In
dian tattooing. He said his wife had put
him in that condition, and that he never
in his life kilt her.
Mrs. Creedon--" Oh, Paddy how eau
you say that, when you know, and the
Lord knows, that you kilt me a thou
sand tines Sure you're always murthcr-
| ing me 2"
Mr.. Crecdon--" Well, and how can
help it2 Arn't you always numbering
me ?"
i Mrs. Creedon---Never, Paddy NIGER.
but when you deserves il. Your worship
know what he's about keep him III Wet
uas and drink and instead ofkveping mo
he wants 10 keeps woman.
Alderman Cox--O, now see how il is
there's Il little Jealousy in the case.
n The husband declared there was great
deal. His wife was little ould, and didn't
like to see him look at young woman.---
She had but few days thrown pail OF
dirty water over him, and he thought
he might give her slash or two, aud
he did 80 he just tonched her, and she
happened to fall.
| Alderman Cox--Well, this best thing
can do is to bind you both over.
The wife vowed that she did not care
what became of her, so that her i" thief" OF
a husband was locked up and the husband
thought any state happy from which his
wife was excluded. They we're then or.
dered to find bail; which failing to procure.

The woman went out huzzainS, and vow&
ing that she would be master OF the fellow

| Ffcdrici tie Greaf.-A Prussan clergy
man applied TO Frederick the Great for his
permission TO preach In his chapel, and az
the same time begged that he would honor
him with his presence. His majesty thot
it presumptuous in minister to ask such
a favour, he nevertheless granted his re-
quest and told him he would give him a
text, and that he should preach on the fol-
lowing Sunday. The clergyman waited
with anxiety from day to day for the sub
jet, as he nfcourse wished to make an APP
propriate sermon but Sunday morning
came aud no text he, however went to
the pulpit with the intention Of preaching
one Of his old dlscourses, thinking the King
had forgotten his agreement. His Majes-
ty came into the chapel soon after, and
sent the divine letter which he opened
: and read The contents wcre--"Th en-
closed is your text you will preach ira
mediately." He opened the slip of pape,
alluded 10, when to his great astOnish-
ment, he found it a complete blank, he
held it out for the congregation 10 look az.
and said d" Here is nothing and then turn
ing il, " and there is nothing and out OF
nothing were created heaven and earth"
Then quoting verse from tho first chap.
ter Of Genesis, he preached Il sermon from
it extempore. The King was so delighted
with the general presence of mind the cier-
gyman displayed, that he made him his al.
moner from that day.
