got out Of the stage, and the other three
ladies' remained in.--The fresh horses
were hitched to the stage, and just as
we were about to get ia,. they broke. of
from the person who was holding them,
with the three ladies in the stage. AT
ter running few hundred yards they
were met by several negro men who
tried 10 stop them, but 10 vain, they
ran by them and kept down the road
with all their speed, and while thus run
ming, Miss Lucy E. CIough got out of
the side ofthe stage, and placing her
self on the drivers seat, commenced
tel!iGg the horses to woa at the same
time calling them by many names,
which had blu, little effect, till she cri-
ed out "woa Tom," which she thought
rather slackened the gait of one of the
lead horses, and by repeating it in a
gentle tone Of voice they finally stopped
gallop, and were going on in brisk
trot, when Mr.. Powell, who had rode
after the stage, got up with them, when
he dismounted and seized one of the
leaders, when Miss CIough sprang from
the drivers seat and seized the other
leader, and they were stopped, and not
the slightest injury sustained.-Rieh.

( Shocking Marder.-We have va
rious verbal accounts Of mos, fiendish
outrage committed in Randolph, 10
Orange county, Vermont a few days
since, all of which concur substantial
ly in the following particulars "A Mr..
Peake, between twenty and thirty
years Of age, who resided with his fa-
Their, an elderly gentleman in low cir
cumstances, was engaged to young
lady in the vicinity, and was to have
been married in few days. His mo.
ther-in-law was opposed to the union
and the contemplated residence Of the
couple with the young mans parents.
One morning last week the old lady
got breakfast for the family, the prin.
cipal dish of which consisted of "hash."
Her husband, his son, and two daugh.
tiers ate oft, the son quite freely, and
soon after they al became sick. The
| young man complained FIRST, when the
old lady, anxious to ensure the work OF
destruction, advised him to take some
| perlash and water, which she prepar-
| ed for him. On taking the iumb!er he
raised it 10 his nose and told her it
had the same smell as the "hash" he
had just.eaten, and he suspected it was
poisonous. Refusing to drink the in-
fernal decoction, she asked for the
mbler; but he was determined to
hold on to it, and sent for physician.
On his arrival, il was soon ascer,ained
tia, the Smash" and water in the tum.
bier were highly charged with arsenic.
The young man grew worse rapidly,
and finding that he could not be reliev-
ed, made his will, bequeathing all his
property, about $500 to his intended
! wife, and died before night. 1t is said
that the old gentleman has since died,
and the recovery of one Of the girls
was considered doubtful. On being
arrested and examined, Mrs. P. con-
fessed her crime, aud was committed
to Jail for trial in December. Such
horrible atrocities occur but rarely 10
