ARTIST FOR MuRpER--We learn that an unhappy.
affair occurred in Fairfield on Sunday, the 10th ut,
the particulars of which are briefly these: Mr.. Eu-
gene Clifford, living near Fairfield pond requested
his wife to accompany him a visit to friend, on
the opposite side Of the pond, asserting at the same
time (what is reported not TO be true, that they had
been specially invited so 10 do. The day was rather
cold and unpleasant, and Mrs. G. made many objec.
TONS but at the earnest solicitation Of her husband
she finally consented and taking an infant child, they
left home, and in crossing the water, the boat up
set, and the mother and child were drowned, while
the husband and father escaped. Clford's story is
that in consequence Of strong wind the boat rocked
90 violently that his wife and child fell into the water
and that in trying to recover them he also fell in and
in falling, upset the boat. He further says, that
when he rose to the surface of the water he saw the
child and heard its cries, but he some distance
from the shore, he made no effort TO either the
child or mother, and with the assistance of the two
oars he swan ashore. When landed safely himself
he made no effort save them and instead Of going
to house near by, he wen, about two miles around
the pond to near neghbor and communicated the
death of the mother and child. The bodies were
found on the same day, and the following day cor
oner's inquest was held, and a verdict given-"acci
dentaly drowned" Some suspicious Circumstances
coming to light second inquest called on Thurs
day, and verdict given-''wlful murder" Clifford
was accordingly arrested, and court Determination
held which resulted in his committal to jail in this
village for further tral.-.St. Adams paper.
