CATTLE SHow.-We find the Officers OF
the Agricultural Society are busily engaged in
making the necessary arrangements for the APP
preaching exhibition. The pens are already
put up, and the field is selected for the
Ploxghing Match. We understand that the
number of entries already made give favor
able indication Of the responsibility Of the
Show. The number of competitors at the
rloughing Match will be elepen, which, though
fewer than last year, is yet sufficient to an
swer the purposes Of the Institution, and VIC
fiatter ourselves, that if the number is smaller,
it is also more select. From all parts, we Learn
that strangers are intending TO be present,
drawn here by the reputation our Show ha;
already acquired. We trust that every rea.
sonablc expectation which they have enter
tanned will be satisfied. Our farmers have
the chilly 20 do it, and, Judging from expe.
rience, we are confident the dispositions alsc
will not be wanting. We regret that 10 in
formation has yet been received from any
town of the intention of the iuha bitants to OK.
hibit team Of working oxen. This exlribi-
ton has heretofore attracted much notice, an,
we trust that successful excr,ions may yet be
made to prevent its falling through the present
year.

.4TRocIous CRIME.

most barbarous murder was CO UNITED at
Slaier's Village in Smith6eld, by person
named Andrew Davis, on the 2sith ult. We
understand that there had, from some cause,
been Misunderstanding between DAVIS and
his wife's connexions, that his wife was then
a, her fathers and that it was the intention Of
her friends, with her assent, TO prevent her
returning to live With him any more. DAVIS
had been the day previously with horse anu
cha;.e 20 carry her home, but, not succeeding,
he returned again, on the fatal morning, 10
make another attempt, aud questioned her
AS TO her intention of returning to live with
him. She evaded giving decisive answer,
on which he seized her, and, with knife
which be had ground for the purpose, stabbed
her in several places so that she survived but
short time. person named Mason, who
lived in the other part of the house, hearing
the outcry, ran into the room land, as he enter
ed, found Davis cutting his own throat. Da-
Wis instantly sprung uponhin, and, with sin
gle stroke of the knife, laid open this abdo-
men, from one side TO the other. They all fell
upon the floor together, exhibiting specimen
of the effects of unbridlcd passion, too shock
ing even 20 think upon. A person who was
present says the floor was drenched with blood,
ami that the room exhibited the appearance
Of slaughter-house. Mason died the next
day. Davis survived till the morning of the
| 1st inst. tie avows il to have been his inten.
ton, before he came TO the house, TO either
take his wife home with him, or TO put an enc
to her life.

Further returns of votes in Maine make it
appear that Jeremiah O'Brien is reelected to
Congress in Hancock and Washington Dis
trct, and that Gen. J. w. Ripley is proba-
bly, chosen in Oxford District by a small ma

In New-Jersey the Convention for nominal.
ing candidates for members of Congress met.
when it was found, that, in several Of the
Counties where administration delegates had
been sent, the jackson men had afterwards
met and sent delegates of their own. As no
delegates were admitted, whose seats were
| contested, it left majority of jackson men to
organize the Convention. The subject Of the
contested seats was then taken up, and occu-
pied nearly a whole day, when, becoming
warm, an alteration ensued, and the Con-
venGon broke up and separated. The two
parties then proceeded to different places, or
ganized anew, and nominated two distinct
tickets. There will, therefore, be fair trial
Of strength between them.
