THROAT CUrrINe.-The story relative to a hus-
band cutting his wie's throat, on Tuesday evening,

| screamed terrific scream, and fell INTO his arms
Our informant, who is petuDent old bachelor, OBJ
murder was in the case, and communicated
| the facts as published yesterday, with all
the gravity that woud have prompted him in a
real murder. The husband and wife, it appears,
have been recently married, which may account for
the warmth of feeling evlnced by him in thus ac-
costing his wife in the open streets; The Brooklyn
