NEW ORLEANS, August 10

. NEW OrtLEANS, august ~.
The most atrocious murder ever heard
ofin New Orleans, was perpetrated last
night on the person Of an unfortunate WON
an when asleep. Mrs. Widow Creven,
of an advanced age, and the mother OF
grown children, was found this morning
by one Of her daughters, dead in her bed
and weltering in her blood. Itwould ap-
pear that the murderer had either hidden
himselfin' the house, or had got into il by
one Of the windows Of the bedroom which
the lady was in the habit Of leaving open.
AT all events the monster took so well his
precaution that he executed his horrid de-
sign without being heard by the two young
ladies who slept in the adjoining room,
nor by the tenants of the upper story
The victim received eleven strokes of a
hatchet or knife, any one of which would
have sufficed TO- kill her. Five or six
were given on the scull which is all fract-
ured, one was a cut across the neck and
the others we're on the breast and storn-
ach. The assassin took hold Of the keys
Of the armoir, which were placed under
the pillow Of the deceased, opened it with
out noise, and took away bag containing
few hundred dollars in specie. Yet the
author Of the crime has not been arrested
Another murder was committed last eve
ming on the person Of one j. p. Lewis by
one r. Rider. Tho murderer has been
arrested. We have not been able to learn
the particulars.- Bee.

Hydrophobia "A melancholy death oc.
Cured at Charlottesville, Va. from HYDRO
phobia. On the nth Of June last, Mr.
Wren was bitten in two places on the fool
by strange dog. Both wounds were
much lacerated, and one ofthem penetrat-
ed through the tendons on the upper sur
face Of the foot to the bone. He :elt no
uneasiness about his situation, not suppos
ing the dog to be mad. The wounds con-
tinued to heal regularly, and in short
time were perfectly well. On the 18th
inst. more than two months after the
wounds were received, he felt an uneasi-
ness in the foot, which gradually extended
up the leg until it reached the body. He
thenhsd pain in thu back, lower part OF
the abdomen, and some soreness about the
throat. These symptoms continuing with
little variation, were ascribed by himself
and friends to rheumatism, or cold brought
on by recent exposure to a shower Of rain
BY family prescription he was blcd and

his pains, and he suppose himself nearly
well until on tho evening ofthe 18th inst.

ofhis awful condition, and applied for med

ep by the approach Of any one to the bed
side or any suddes noise. Attempts were
made by every means to get him to receive
drink and food, but the approach Of eth

into the most violent agitation. In the in
tervals Of the spssms, and even during
their continuance, he retained perfect pos
session Of all his mental faculties until
within an hour of his dissolution. He re-
pcatedly invited his friends to his bedside
to shake hands with him, assuring them
that re was perfectly in his senses, and
selt no disposition to do injury to any one.
The spasms continued with incre asing vi
olence 81 hours, when death received him
