HORRIBLE MURDER.


Arrest of the supposed Murderer, and
discovery OF the deadbody. On Friday the
18th ultimo, Mr.. Samuel Adams, a master
printer, of great responsibility, residing at
No. IL Elizabeth ST., and carrying on
business at 50 Gold ST., under the firm Of
Scatchard g. Adams, left his establish
mcnt md proceeded to the office of TIE
Missionary Herald. After transacting
some business there, he said he would go
to Canal ST., to see some bookseller who
owed him some money, but did not reach
there, and the last that was seen Of him
was in Broadway, near Chambers street.
Some person, it is understood, told him
while out, that Mr.. j. c. Colt, the author
of new system OF bookkeeping, (who
occupied an office in the granite building
a; the corner Of Chambers st. and Broad
way,l who owed Mr.. Adams some $20O
for printing his book, was about to
leave the city, and Mr.. Adams replied
that he would 60 TO see him and endeavor
to get his money whether no went there
or moi, the sequel will probably tell---but
Mr.. Adams from tina. day was never seen
alive.
A little before four o'clock in the after.
noon, MIR. Wheeler, celebrated teacher
Of peumanship, who occupies the room on
the ID story of the building fronting
Broadway, and adjoining to that Of Colt,
heard a strange and unaccountablc noise
in Colts room, as if some persons were
engaged in fencing or IN a scufiie; and
anon, a crash as OF some heavy body fall
ing on the floor. and then dead silence
Wheeler went TO the door Of Colts room
and knocked but receiving no answer,
looked through the key hole and saw two
hats on the table OF Colts room, and Coll
in the act of wiping or washing the floor.
Mr.. Wheeler, after waiting considerable
length of time, looked in at the key hole
again, and still saw Mr.. Colt engaged in
The same operation. Mr.. w. then TOLD
his assistant in his school TO watch Col
until he went out OF his room, as no sus
pecied something was wrong,--and the
young man accordingly watched all nigh
and heard Colt engaged in his room al
night at work.
On the morning OF Saturday he saw
Colt put box some four feet long out o
his room marked with some name, and d
rectcd to ST. Louis, via New Orleans
which in the forenoon he delivered 10 ,
carman, who put il on his cart and con
veyed it away.
A day or two afterwards, Mr.. Wheele
gained ingress into Colts room, and dis
covered a looking glass broken, the foo
bearing the appearance of having beef
recently scrubbed or scraped, and ,h,

spots on the wall, as If to conceal SOM
other stains. A Ratchet was also found
the handle Of which had been scrape'
over, and then covered with ink.
On hearing Of the disappearance of Mr.
Adams, who was advertised for, Mr.
Wheeler went to the Coroner and commu

THE BRIDAL.

The stars or Heaven and silver Queen Of Night
Had disa ppeaIed and the glad morning, borne
On roseate wings, exhsled thr crystal drops,
From hawthorn bush, from bud and opening flower
Nature awoke in beauty; every breeze
Was taught with baImy fragrance; every stream
Was tuned TO sweetest melody while song of bird
From garden, copsc and mead, and woody glen,
Mingling With natures main hymn OF praise,
Awoke the hearts to joy. At such an hour,
From a low cottage in an humble vale,
Broke forth this simple strain:
we bring forth flowers FOR the happy bride
As she leaves us now 10 her maiden piide;
As she bids adieu to her father. door.
10 sit meath her shadowy vine more;
No more to roam through the woodland bowers,
Nor join our song mid the evening hours
She i, leaving her tender parents smile
For distant home in sunny isle;
She is leaving brothers watctful care
For joyous calm and balmy air;
She IS leaving "a sisters fond caress
Asolher's heart 10 soothe, TO bless.
Sweet maiden fair maiden remember those
Who twine for thy garland the bridal rose
The days Of thy childhood have Fitted by
With the speed OF light thew seemed To fly;
For ever to thee they were frsugh, with bliss,
And gemmcd with pure.t happiness.
10 gather The early sPiinging flowers,
And vile away the sunny hours;
To seek them off in the sGmmsr day,
10 dells where ripping waters play,
Ard aken autumnal winds had blown.
TO mark shere the whitening flower was strown,
That, ere cold winters icy breath,
Was to become the bride OF Death;
These were thy pastimes with us, and we
A " blessing and blest' fraternity.
Wen Irvine the myrtle vine again;
Wen peur once more the chor al strain;
Sweet maiden, fair maiden, o never forget
Who twinsl for thy garland tho mignonetie
''We may wander still meath the silver moon;
We may tread the dance to the l,Ie's 0 lad tune;
The flowers may bloom round Thy valley homei
The springs fresh breeses again may Gomez
The forest, the meadow, the green God bowers,
May wear the hue OF thy childhoods hours;
The mountain torrent may still gush forth,
When thou art gone with thy youthful ninth;
But the hopes We have cherished will pass away;
We shall miss in its gl.doess, thy spirits ray!
Yet still mayst the pleasure thou noarished, bloom
Mid the summer skies Of thine island home!
Sweet maiden, fair maiden, our love is true,
And veil twine for thy garland the vio'et blue
The pleasures of childhood thy love hath proved,
Then fare thee WE'LL maiden, fondly beloved"
A nd they brought flowers, and on tbst snowy brow
They placed sbeantsous gsrlend; and they breathed
fervent pt aver that life might ever be
As it had been to her, happy scene,
A pathway .trcwn with ever fragrant flowers
or che, shed love and ever fresh delight
And with the sunshine Of Loves joyous smile,
She passed on to her home--ihat sunny isle.
