ATRoCIOUs MURDER.

We have received an extra from the Office
of the Warren (0hio) News Letter, con-
tanning the following:
On Thursday the 9Th inst. Ira West Gard
ner, of Gustavus, was committed to the Jail
of Trumbull county, charged with the muir
der of Maria Gardner, aged about fifteen
years, the daughter of his wife The circum-
stances related TO us were as follows:
The deceased had resided with her mother
and Mr.. Gardner, but owing 20 some family
difficulty she determined to do so no longer,
and on Tuesday went TO one OF the near
neighbours, where she remained over night.
Previous to her departure shc gave her friends
10 understand that il was not her intention to
return. Gardner IN vain demonstrated, and
on Wednesday induced bis whe 10 go to the
neighbours and persuade Maria toreturn and
1--we with them She did so, and Maria con
sented to accompany her home, not TO re.
main, but for her clothes which she had not
previously taken away. At this time Gardner
was in his own house IN company wiih MIR
Rdwell, and as the mother and daughter ap
preached, he went out and met them ia the
road near the house laid hod Of Maria and
plunged large butcher knife into her breast,
and Immediately repeated the fatal stab Mr..
Bidwel hearing the screams OF the deceased,
ran directly to her relief, but 1t was too late,
the shocking deed was done. Gardner on the
arpearance Of Bidwell, dropt the knife, gave
himself up and was forthwith bound and Sc
cured by MIR. Bidweh. The girl, as sooa as
released from the monsters grasp, raa a few
rods, fell down and Immediately expired.
Gardaer is now IN prison and, as the whole
affair will undergo legal investigation, we
forbear further remarks on this unparalleled
and barkarous transaction.

We sometimes endeavor, thinking
we may possibly be in error, TO recon
cile certain conflicting opinions of the
President; butre lily we find great diff
culties. Will any of his astute friends
tell us how to dovetail the two following
sentences of the Veto Message?
In the last paragraph but one, our
fearless President says:
"Mdny of our rich men have not
been content with equal protection and
equal benefits but have besought US to
make them richer by acts of Congress.
BY attempting to crafty their desires,
we have, in the results ofour Legislation,
arrayed section against section, interest
against interest, and man against man,
IN a FEARFUL CONNECTION, yhich threat
ems TO shake The foundations of our en-
ion."
And then, in the conclusion, forgett-
ing the fearful commotion, or per-
haps thinking he uetoed it, he adds:
"In the difficulties which surround
us, and the dangers which threaten our
institutions, there is cause for neither
daSmdy or alarm. va Free Press.

Unfortunate Accident.-Last week,
when the Stage was in the act Of enter
ing the Ferry boat, at this place, the
boat parted from its fastening, and being
forced out from shore, let the horses into
the river in ten feet water or more,
while the coach remained mostly out of
the water on the bank. In this situa-
ton some one was thoughtful enough to
pass chain attached to the pavement
around the felloe of the hind wheel, and
thus prevented the carriage, with nine
passengers, from being precipitated into
the water. The lives Of the passengers
were most probably saved by this cir
cumstance. Notwithstanding every ex-
ertion was made to save them, the hors-
es were all drowned,-(C charleston }
