Extraordinary Homicidc.-Wo copy the fol-
lowing from the Charlottesville Ia.) Examiner
OF the 9TH instant. The events of which it speaks
are most extraordinary even in these DAYS of
strange things:
An unfortunate occurrence took place in
Brow Township, IN this county, n few days since,
which resulted in the death OF a human being,
to us as follows. A man named Moses Rush
married to Miss Jane Rush about three
weeks ago and upon the first night of their mar
riage the husband endeavorod to choke the swile
to death. She, however, conTived to prevent it
and they lived together about TWO weeks in n
very unhappy manner-Rusl beating her on all
occasions. At the time the act was com
mittcd Rush informed his wife that he had al
ready killed two wives, and one man for money,
and that he intended to kill her, and beat her
most numerically. She begged him not to kill
her till next morning.
He then lold her he would wait while, and
take sleep, and accordingly took his axe, and
placing it under his arm, lay down crosswise in
the door, TO prevent her escape, assuring her
that when he awoke he would execute his fiend
ish purpose He fell asleep.and his wife fearing
that her destruction would be inevitable If he
awoke, seized the axe, and despatched him by
inficting mortal wound on his head with it.
She gave herself to justice of the Peace, who
had her sent TO prison. She was takeE out,
however, on habeus corpus, and tried before his
honor Judge Vdyfor, who from the insufficient
cy of the testimony, ordered her discharge.
Public opinion is in her favor; and justfcs
the act, .On the ground ihat it was committed in
self defence. lie was about eighty, years OF age,
she is about thirty.

Outrage IN the Kentucky PtVchase.-We learn
from the last Paris Tennesseean, that Judge
James. member of the Kentucky Senate from
counties west OF the Tennessee river was shot n
few days since at Columbus, on the Mississippi
river, dy Hooson Bnford, the brother of the un-
fortunate man who fell in an affray with James
mt Clinton, Ky. about eighteen months ago.
James was not dead ut last accounts though
there was little prospect of his recovery.
The feud between these two families has been
attended with bloody and extraordinary series
of consequences. In the first recounter between
James, and Robert Binford, the latter was killed
and rs he fell shot an innocent bystander who
expired on the spot. Subsequently,, another ai,
fray took place between two Of lie friends OF
the parties, which resulted III the death OF one
Of them. Aud now, 10 crown tho bloody TRACE

ANOTHER BRITIsn OUTRAGE. On the morn

Dyer's battalion, at Missisquoi Bay, escaped from
confinement in tho dungeon, and succeeded in
crossing the province line Their escape hav-
ing been discovered, the volunteers, about 100
strong, under the command OF Capt. Monk and
other officers, set out in pursuit, crossed the line
and arrived at Highgate, VT. One ofthe poor fell
lows was sted about 80 rods south of tho
line and was Immediately returned to Canada.
Another seeing no prospect of evading the voun-
teers, who had taken possession of the woods.
His captain called upon him 10 surrender, but
telling him he preferred to meet his fate there,
to the certain and fearful doom that would he
awarded him OH the other side of The lines,
called upon his God for forgiveness, and sank
to rise no more. 1t is reported that this indi-

Ter, was that of an Industrious, honest and, a
rather unusual circumstance with Old soldiers
