We copy the following touching account Of
the most unnatural and understandable murder
heard of, from the Rochester IN. Y }
! Daily Advertiser:
'Austin Squires, who sho, his wife last Friday
evening, examined on Saturday. The evil
dence aga inst him was conclusive, but the wo-
man being still alive, he could not be committed
for murder--if she lives, he will be committed
for assault and battery with intent to kill. The
physicians give it rs their opinions that she can
not live The facts according TO the evidence
at the examination, are these:-lle went home
about 9 o'clock Friday evening. and found his
wife and their two chiliren, and his wiie's sister
in his room. He sat down and conversed few
minutes good naturedly, and then asked his wife
If she would 20 into the country with him the
next day. Sh. replied that she would. lie then
observed that The clothes she had been washing
that day, were hanging on the line in the yard,
and that he would 20 aud help her bring them
in. IheI went into the yard together. She
commenced taking the clothes from the line, at
the same time conversing freely and in good
temper with her husband. He stood behind her
and fred the PISTOL. The ball penetrated the bo-
d. on the right side of the back bone, near the
point of the shoulder blade and lodged in the
body.
After the woman was carried into the house,
her strong affection for the brutal husband for
long time prevented her acknowledging that he
was the perpetrntor of The horrid deed. When
questioned she would cxclaim in tone aud mau-
ner indicative of intense torture of body aud
mind-'how can tell you?!! See finally, after
much persuasion, gave an account ofthe whole
transaction. We went with several others, 10

was shot. And such we never wish TO

and perfectly white skin, was offered for sale II
few days since, at the St. Louis street Exchange,
by man who pretended that she was his slave.
Her complexion was so fair and she was des-

present began to feel dubious, and uttered some

and belonged to the man offering her for sale.
The fellow however, fearing that he was not
altogether safe, had eloped thro' the crowd and

sale were to be shared equally between the

he been found.-[yM o. Picay''ne.

covery of delinquency of few thousand dollars
in an auditor account, encouraged them TO attempt
to grasp the whole Of the public money. The hab

had been so nveterate that nothing but necessity
