New HAVEN, April IS.


BEAUTIFUL Never was such a
time Here, in the middle of April,
the season of birds, and buds, and BIOS
soms, we are in the midst of most
beautiful driving SNOW STORM Wind
east, and promise of continued fa-
vors. WINTER had no, given up his
old coat ENTIRE, macy broad patches
remaining, when the generosity OF the
more genial season is furnishing him
with q new one. Bless us !! how it
SHOWS /! as we look out of our sky
light, from our cozy editorial char,
and our sssea coal fire." Well, we
can't help it. We mus. take it as We
do THE DEMOCRACY when it SHOWS
lie, it snow. Ii it is tight f., we
must wear il.
We take from the Philadelphia ''Pub.
lie Ledger The particulars, as far as
they have been obtained, of an event
which surpasses in horror the one that
has produced SO much excitement in N.
York.

made the theatre Of an awful tragedy.

az No SO Filhert sreet--she is q very
handsome woman, and her manners
are very highly attractive ; she has
lived unhappily with her husband, who
is residing in another part Of the city,
and ID bill OF divorce is now pending.
Richard w. Brown, became much
attached 10 Mrs. Wade. Brown sus-
pected that the affections Of MRS. Wade
were bestowed On snother, and the de.
Hnon OF jealousy took possession of his
mind.
He yesterday afternoon gave Mrs.
w. an invitation TO take ride with
him which she declined. Towards
evening he met her returning from a
walk and joining her, they together
entered her premises through the back
way. Brown called her into front
5oom, saying he wished to speak TO
her, and then on her compliance, dis
charged pistol loaded with duck shot,
the contents of which entered her right
breast. Mrs. w. Staggered out Of the
room crying 81 am shot !''-"I am
shot % A second had scarcely elaps-
ed ere the report of another pistol was
heard, which was discharged by the

'eosiyely into The business !; and we
presume the stock will all be subscri-
ned for as soon as thu company's
BOOKS are open. Ii is stated that the
produce ofa single acre was sold the
othsr day, in Northampton, for one
hundred and thirty dollars. The man.
