"BLooD, BLOOD, IAso p-If there is a city O.
the face Of the earth, where murders are more FREE
quent than in tais, we should like 10 know in what
part of the civilized world it is situated Scarcely
is the ink dry that has recorded one tragedy
are called upon to give the particulars of another.
Last night, about 7 o'clock, man named Edward
Hines, who had boarded for the last week at the
house Of Mrs. Warner, l2i Nassau street, made a
desperate attempt to kill his wife, and afterwards to
cut his own throat. Hines called bis wife 10 the
door, took dirk knife from his pocket, and plunged
it twice into the left side of the woman, who fell
senseless; and then drew the same KIN fe twice
across his throat, bat failed in his endeavor to
sever either the windpipe or the careted artery A
surgeon was Immediately sent for, wso dressed the
wound ofthe womap, and the murderer was onveyed
TO the city prison. where he would receive such atten .
tionas his situation required The actors in this do
nestle tragedy Irish, but whether the motive for
the deed was love, jealousy, revenge, madness, we
could not ascertain, but presume it was made of
each ngred ient, with Il considerable preponderance
of the latter.
We had the foregoing particulars of this affair
from an eye witness, but have since learned from
equalygood authority that Hines took the knife from
the supper table and stabbed his wife in the room in
the presence of all the boarders.
We understand that the miserable couple had only
been in the country three weeks, having arrived
from Liverpool.
