consequences.

WASHING DAY. In the course Of the night
he awaked, and thinking it was four o'clock;
arose, agreeably to his instructions and made
hre. Upon looking at the clock, however,
he found that he had made a great mistake
in his calculations, as !. was only | O'Clock
IN the evening. He then went out and por
a buffalo's skin, which he wrapped aoou, h,m
and lay down by the FIRE, where he fell a
sleep. About one O'Clock he got up went
to tho wood house, and took up an axe with
which he entered the room where .Mr. g.
Mrs. Z. were sleeping. While they thus
lay. unconscious of their danger, he levelled
blow upon the head of Mrs. G. which broke
her cheek -bone, and then unon that Of Mr..
Z. which broke his scull He then ran for
the door, which being shut, he rushed ny
ainst 1t with such violence as to wake him
s"lf up. On coming to his senses, and per-
ceiving the horrid work he been doing, he
raised shrek, which brought down the mo

When she saw what was done, her strength
failed and she tainted. The boy took her up,
and having laid her on the bed, ran for the
neighbors. and then for the Doctors. Ga his
return he told the persons who had assem-
bled, that he dreamed two men wero attempt
ing to kill him, and was trying to defend him
self. Soon after, he became deranged. Two
or three times in the course ofthe day he had
lucid intervals, during which he inquired
with great anxiety concerning his master
and mistress, and wept bitterly. Tic would
then relapse into q state Of mental aberra-
ton.

the occurrence took place. Mr.. and Mrs. C.
were both alive, and it was hoped that the
latter would recover Mr.. e. was nearly des-
paired OF. We understand that Prescott was
much beloved by the family and tina, no one
suspects he had any evil intent.

SERIOUS AFFBAy.-A year or two ago,
says the Winchester Virginan, an un-
fortunate matrimonial connexion was
formed between man named Hugh
Nagee, an initerant trader, living in one
OF the counties Of Berkeley or Jefferson,
and daughter Of William Thornburg,
respectable citizen of Morgan. The
parties lived together some short time,
when 1t having been ascertained that
Magee had another wife living at the
time of his second marriage, they separ-
ated, and the deluded object of his
heartless villany again sought the pro-
lection Of her fathers roof, but was no,
