TRIAL FOR MURDER. A trial took place
at the Supreme Judicial Court, held at
Springfield, last week, which excited deep
interest in the county of Hampton. A year
ago, on the 29th of September, "a man named
Robert Bush, residing in Westfield, killed
his wife under the following circumstances
The parties had been married Z or 8 vears.
and had several children. They had. how
ever, been separated for some time before
the fatal transaction, from causes not dis
closed at the trial. Both of them, il was
proved, were solicitous to Obtain divorce.
Bush frequently applied to counsel for this
purpose, but no measures were ever taken
to procure it. In the mean time he appears
to have cherished spirit Of deep malignty
against his wife. partly prompted. as would
appear from some parts of the testimony. by
jealousy. In September last, his wife was
residing with two children. in the house of
Mr.. Jared Noble, at Westfield. On the dav
above mentioned, Bush purchased powder
and shot, and thirty grains of opium. at n
store. The opium he said, was to xiii rats
and being asked, when he loaded his gun.
what he wanted to kill, he said it was a doc.
He then went to Mobiles house. where
upOub WV lCSL lIOIl Ille outer door.
he rested the gun against his hip, and shot
his wife who was sitting within. The shot
took effect in her arm, and in her side. and
she expired four hours after, at IL o'clock.
The wretch was Immediately seized nv a
young man who came up at the moment nm.
on which he swallowed the opium. Emet-
les were Immediately administered. and the
poison thrown up, Bush offering no resist
ance. The excitement produced by the oc-
currence, so rare in that district, was sucb
that the prisoner was not brought I'D for tri-
al until after the lapse of year. Allie
counsel were assigned, who attempted n
show that ne was insane. 1t was in proof
that though not habitually drunkard he
drank more ardent spirits than was pood for
him, and occasionally took opium. He wae
found guilty after two hours consultation
by the jury. The sentence was pronounced
10y Chief Justice Parker, in a most impres.
sive and eloquent manner. The dav Of er-
ecutlon is to be appointed by the Governor
and Counci.-.M " Comm. advertiser. 49,

AHEcDoTE. Professor D'Wolf in one
of his recent Lectures on Chemistry. sneak
ing of the pyramids of cotton cloth now pill
ed up in our streets, contrasted the present
state of manufactures with what they were
not many years ago, when our New England
fields presented a wide spread sheet Of lin
en- and tow cloth, put out by the industrious
housewife TO whiten, among which strip
OF cotton was not to be found. AS further
ILLUSTRATION of the total ignorance of the
use OF cotton that prevailed at that period,
he related an anecdote of an old lady who.
before the revolution, received as a rare
present from abroad, parcel of tea and a
bundle of cotton, the use Of which had been
carefully specified in labels attached TO the
packages. But, unlucklly, the directions
FOR the cotton we're attached to the tea and
those for the tea to the cotton, so that the
good lady carded the tea and boiled the
cotton! The husband marvelled al the
taste Of people who could make palata.
BILE drink of cotton, and the dame was equal
ly astonished at their ingenuity in making
cloth out Of such material as tea.
