| Most hOrrld Murder.-I'hOugh 1t is really
Notwithstanding to record such enormities, it
is duty incumbent upon us to give publicity
to the following shocking detail, the circum-
stances of which We have been careful to de-
! rive from the best possible source. On Thurs
day last, man named WIN. Godfrey, resid
ing at Mount Pleasant. Norfolk county. about
eight miles above the Great Bridge, came to
town to purchase some articles for his fam
lily, & among them bought a pair of shoes for
his wife. On the following morning. on
looking over his purchases, his wife observed
that the shoes he had bought for her, seemed
| better calculated for winter than summer but
instantly perceiving tbatthis remark dispeased
her husband, whom she. knew to he very irrita-
BILE she refrained from saying any thing fur
Their on the subject Two much, however, it
appears had already been uttered for his
quick and violent temper to brook. A tenn
pest of rage began to rise in his bosom, and
after short silence it burst forth in direfu
denunciations against herself,hcr two children
a aod hfTb f YOU'D destroy, ana then XIII him
self. His wife was thrown into great conster
nation. and knowing the violence of his pas
s;ons lost not moment in saving herself and
children from the impending danger by fight
AS soon as he discovered she had gone he
loaded his nusket, and armed h'mselffurther
with keen shoemaker's knife. Tins prepar-
ed he FASTENED to the house of his father-in-
law. Mr.. Jesse Land, who lived within half
mile. and meeting with Mrs. Land, at the door
demanded his wife.-Fortunately, for her size
had taken different course In vain her
mother assured the enraged man that her
daughter was not there. He was determined
md I1A
old LADY, torrent of abuse. Upon this her
son, Gideon l.. (about 20 years of age,) came
out and begged him to forbear abusing his mo-
ther. He was deaf to all persuasion, and as
thew followed him little way, endeavoring to
pacify him, he suddenly cooked his gun. Mrs.
r.. observing this, took her son around the
neck, and was hurrying him OF to the house,
when shocking to relate, the monster levelied
his gun, and having the old iady,witll her son
Gideon, and Mr.. Land, the father of his wife
all in a line before him, he discharged the
piece, and lodged the contents partly in the
neck of The san, and partly in the right ear
and neck of the old lady-the elder Mr.. l..
miraculousIy escaping.
The mother was living on Saturday, when
| we heard last from her, though dangerously
| wounded. The son, Gideon l.. died within
hours.
A Coroner's inquest has investigated the
case, and after examining the body and col
| lecting all the information that could be OBJ.
| tanned, has pronounced that the deceased
came to his death by wounds inflicted by the
above named VIM. Godfrey.
Immediately after committing the murder
Godfrey made his escape, and had not beer

Obstructed their Gall, forcing down other equal
| ~ large and heavy groupes, and rendering thu
whole scene of upr0ar and distressing con
fusion. found it quite useless to speak, OF
even to shout to those persons nearest to me
The reports even of the different guns were
seldom heard, and knew only of their going
off by seeing the owners reload them.
No person dared venture within the line o,
devastation, and the hogs had been penned
up in due time, the picking up of the dead
and wounded sufferers being left for, the next
morning. Still the pigeons were constantly
coming, and it was past midnight before per-
ceived decrease in the number of those that
arrived. The uproar continued, however, the
whole night; and as was anxious to know
to what distance the sound reached, sent a
man, who by his habits in the woods was a.
bic to tell me, two hours afterwards, that at
three miles he heard it distinctly. Towards
the approach of day, the noise rather subsid-
ed: but long ere objects were at all .distln-
guishable. the pigeons began to move off in a
direction quite different from that in which
they arrived the day before, and at sunrise
none that were able to fly remained. The
howlings of the wolves now reached our ears,
and the foxes, the lynx, the cougars, bears,
raccoons, opossums, and pole-cats, were seen
sneaking off the spot, whilst the eagles and
hawks of different species, supported by a
horde of buzzards and carrion crows came to
supplant them, and reap the benefits Of the
night of destruction.
1t was then that I, and all those present.
began our entry among the dead and wound
ed sufferers. They were picked up in great
numbers, until each had as many as could pos
sibly be disposed of; and afterwards the hogs
and dogs were set loose to feed on the remain
DER
We should have been as slow to believe the
foregoing account, as others may be, if it had
not so happened, that during long residence
in Western America, we witnessed the ap-
pearance of multitLdes Of these birds, equal
to those described by the very able writer,
from whose interesting work. the foregoing is
extracted; and we feel perfectly at liberty to
assure our readers, that it is correct. Hav-
ing on numerous occasions, in private circles,
related accounts of the Wild Pigeons of the
West, and having been invariably laughed at,
and rdiculed, we are gratilied in no small de-
gree, in being enabled to corroborate our
statements, by the writings and assertions
of a distinguished writer and scholar. The
work to which we alludc, is worthy of the
particular perusal of the attentive inquirer
after the wonders of natural history.
