| Shocking Murder--We have various
verbal accounts ola most fiendish outrage
committed IN Randolph, in Orange coun.
ty, few days since, all of which concur
substantially in the following particulars
A Mr.. Pedke, between twenty and thirty
years OF age, who resided with his father,
an elderly gentleman, in low circum st an
ces, was engaged to young lady in the
vicinity, and was to have been married IN
few days. His moiher-in-law was OPP
posed to the union, and the contemplated
residence OF the couple with the young
mans parents. One morning last week
the old lady got breakfast tor the family
the principal dish of which consisted Of
"nash." tier husband, his son, aud two
daughters eat OF It, the sou quite freely !;
and soon after they all became sick
The young man complained first, when
the old lazy, anxious to insure the work
OF destruction, advised him TO take some
pearlash and water, which she prepared
Tor him. On taking the tumbler, he rais-
cd It to his nose, ana told her It had the
same smell as the 'hash" he had Just eat,
ann he suspected 1t was poisonous. Re-
lusins to drink the internal decocton, she
asked for the tumbler (; but he was deter
mined 10 hold on 10 it, and sent for ply
sican. On his arrival lit was soon ascer-
tanned that the "hash" and water in the
tumbler, were highly charged with arse
nc. The young man grew worse rapid
ly, and finding that he could not be re-
lieved, made his will, bequeathng all his
Sl50O-to his intended
vile, aud died before night. 1t is said
that the old gentleman since died, and the
recovery of one Of the girls was consid-
cred doubtful. On beng arrested and
examined, Mrs. T. confessed her crime,
and was committed to jail for trial in De-
cember. Such horrible atrocities occur
but rarely in our state.-WoodSlock ~

removal. Stevens II. Mason, the
Secretary of Michigan Territory, and for
Il long time the acting Governor, has
been removed, and Charles Shaer of
Pennsylvania appointed to his place.
The reasons assigned by the kitchen cab
met for this removal are, that in the con-
troversy between Michigan and Ohio,
Mason would not pursue the policy Gen.
Jackson recommended.
If this were the sole reason, why did
not the President appoint Il Governor, as
he long since ought to have done 7 The
truth is that, in the scramble to secure
the Presidency for Van Buren, the lat
ter will not let tho office be filled. He
wants the assistance of all the candidates
for the office, and dares not make se-
lection for fear of offending some, aud the
desire to conciliate Ohio, has dictated
this removal and appointment.

PORTSMOUTH Town MEErING.--At the
annual town meeting in Portsmouth, on
Monday last, Sylvester Hathaway, Esq.
was elected, without opposition, Repre-
sentative to the General Assembly, to
fill the vacancy occa.ioncd by the resig-
nation of Judge Chlds. Judge Childs
was elected President Of the Town
Council, in opposition to Thos. Cory, Jr.
by majority Of 39 votes. Stephen B.
Cornell, Zacchcus Chase, Asa Free
born, and John Corey, were also elect
ed members Of the Council, in place Of
the late incumbcnts by about the same
majorities. Samuel Clarke was elected
Town Clerk in opposition to Richard
Sherman, by majority Of IA votes
Gardner Thomas was elected Town
Treasurer over John Hedlcy, by a large
majority. Geo. Il. B. layer was cho-
sen Collector ofTaxes over Samuel An
thony, by majority Of SO, being moro
than two to one. VIM Earl Cook was
elected Town Sergeant in opposition to
Samuel Anthony, by large majority
1t will be recolected by our readers that
the Tory, or office holding party of this
State, bent all their energies as early as
last August, against the town of Ports
mouth, expecting to move her from hel
integrity, and to elect four Representa-.
tives to the General Assembly. Those
excrtons we're renewed at the Apr
meeting with increased energy, but We
are happy to have it in our power to say
that the virtuous and patriotic Wings o
Portsmouth, disregarding the attempts
at bribery, and turning deaf car to th,
cntreatics and threats of the collar party
went into both those struggles with ix
ed determination TO conquer, and there
by preserve the high reputation whicl
they have heretofore so very Justly mer
tied. The Wings of that town hav,
done their duty--nobly done their duty
! Old Portsmouth stands "rcdeemed, re
generated, and disenihrslled." "Iher,
