This is beautiful though scquestered little village,
peopled mostly BY Yankees, and, including the
township, gives about 400 Wing to 100 Loco-Fo-
co votes. Here the whole multitude were treated
with hospitality, which to be appreciated must
be experienced. Every mar and beast was cared
for to the fullest extent, whilst an offer Of rcmun-
Grafton would have been deemed an inaccessible
insult. The next morning at O'Clock we took
up the line of march for Newark. The spectacle

HORRIBLE Murder IN CUNBERLAsD.-A man
by the name of Bachelor on Friday night last, in
the town of Cumberland committed a most dread
full murder upon the body of his wife, literally
pounding her head to pieces with an axe. Bach
elder had for year previous to the murder been
quarresome and cruel husband, so much so that
he had been confined for some time in jail on COM
plaint of his wife. On the night of the murder he
imagined he saw the devil, and says he thought he
was killing the wicked spirit when he destroyed
his wife. The murder was doubtless committed
under the effects of delirium tremens, and may be
laid a the door of the foul 6end Alcohol, whose
hands are already red with the blood of, we al
most said, universe of victims. Bachelor was
committed to Jail on Saturday. Phil. Chron.
