 Lore, Murder and Suicide. e.-The Louisville Advertiser of Dec. 9th says: "Yestefday, I about l2 o'clock, Q Mrs. Madison,of this city, was shot dead by a man named Doyle, who immediately after committed suicide. The circumstances that led to this tragicai affair originated in an amour between the parties. in the beginning of September last, Doyle, made a proposal of marriage to Mrs. Madison
  of iaudanum, which nearly put ;tn end to his life, but Dr. Talbot succeeded in effecting his recovery. After this he left the city and did not return till lately. Meantime Mrs. Madi- son had resigned her heart to another naans and the marriage ceremony was performed U day or two since. Her husband went down the river yesterday. Doyle called on her shortly after and reproached her for her faithlessness, but did not seem very much az. itated. He spoke of his friendship, and ask ed leave to visit her. She replied that she wanted nothing to do with him, and was mo wing out of lhe room when he drew pistol and shot her in the back of the head. He then rushed out and crossed the street, where he killed himself by shot through the breast. Mrs. Madison did not survive the wound more than an hour or two, her head being dreadfully shattered. =, -.s..1.,
