foIL AND SAVAGE MURDER. Among
NIL the horrid murders which we haze
been called upon to chronicle in the
course of twenty years, we have no
reccollection ofun instance of such bru-
tai atrocitv as the following. the ac-
count ofwhich is copied from The Sails
bury, n. G. Journal OF the l9th instant.
A most atrocious murder was per-
petrated in Davidson county, Oh Mon
day, the fIth inst. By man named
Osborn. He had been separated from
his wife for some months, and on the
day aforementioned, he went to the
- IL
she resided; his conduct being very out
ragcOIs, his wife became alarmed aud
ran off to the neighbors. On this he
gave vent 10 his passion by throwing
Il pair of shoes in the fire; and on hts
mother-in-law, an old lady so years Of
age, attempting to take them out, he
assaulted her, and with an axe he split
her head across the temples, and chop
ped her body to pieces in such IA man
ner as to render it impossible for TIE
jury of inquest to join together the sep
arated and ,nanglsd parts. He then
murdered one OF his children by divi-
dag its body into two parts with his
axe! Afer completing this most un-
natural and diabolical hatchery, he
commenced pling up the chairs, sBd
other furniture in the csutre ofths room,
with the intention ofset.ingfs TO them,
and consuming the victims Of his ferce-
ity; but the arrival Of the neighb0rs,
prevented the execution os his design.
Ee WAS secured and ia now conkred in
the Jail at Lexington. WeeanGot learn
tha. the wretch was insane; though the |
plea Of insanity, will, doubssess be est
up, ss few will be willing 70 believe
that such a monster could exist in civ !
iIixed society, vino could deliberately
and in the HIil possession of las rstios-
al faculties eomina a deed 30 eavagc,
bloody, aud unnatural.
Nrw ORLEANS Oct. q. Uc0hh Of
TIE City. II is gratifying 10 us 60 aa-
nounce, that during the last few days,
the health of our city has considerably
Gases Of yellow fever are
now very few in number, and the bills
Of mortality have somewhat decreased.
We continue without rain, to the great !
annovance of our merchants, occupied
in receiving large assorments ofgoods |
from the north. We do nottliiuk there |
is, at present, any fear 10 &c entertain
ed by strangers, as to the chance Of,
their falling sick, with the annual &C.
yer that so desolates our city. Our
hospitals continue full, but there arc
few cases of yellow fever among the
which is 2is. The drought
has favored the extensive works going !
on at the Batture, which progress with |
a rapidity unparalleled i'll the annals of
our Corporation.
