SHOCKING AFFAIR We learn from the Boston
Tunes, that on Saturday last, a woman at Milton,
by the name oil Lucy Talbot. went on slelghlng
frohc" with man named John Bowman, OF the
same town. They proceeded to, Roxbury where
they stopped at n dstillery and where Bowman
gave her three glasses OF brandy On the road
home, he asked her once If she felt cold; she re-
Piled 10 this in the negative and he did not spea 10
her again after that until he got home men sue Of
was speechless. He then drove TO the residence OF
DR. Wave, who. upon examining her, found she was
dead. These facts were testified TO by bowman
himself, whilst undergoing examination before
Coroner's jury on the following day.
MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE Our village
yesterday the scene OF a most horrid tragedy.
The facts, have gathered them partly from
rumor, are briefly ihese:-Avan Cornell, formerly
OF Bust ia this county, has been at variance with
his wife, although they have lived together till about
a year since, His cruelty and Threatening became
SUCH no vever, that by the advice and aid Of friends,
she effected separation from HIM. He removed
TO Michigan, and she remained in this county
Some three months ago Mrs. Mary Osborne, the
sister OF Cornell, re-opening boarding and day
school IN this village, offered his wife home with
her. This lady, during all her trials with her hus-
band, had renamed her uniform and seadfast friend
il seems that the baseness of the HUSBAND had not
entirely wasted the affection of The wife After she
had become domlcieo with Mrs O., she wrote 10
her husband TO relieve any anxiety he might feel on
her account, informing him that she was happily
situated with his sister, and that their children
three or four OF whom are deaf and dumb) were
comfortably provided tor From what we can lie arm
this letter seems to have awakened all the evil of
his devlllsh nature II is known that almost imme-
dlately he left Michigan and travelled on foot to
ths place. He reached here about week since.
During the intervening time he has resided at his
sisters, cloaklng his purpose under the kindest de-
mesnor Yesterday morning, about halt past ten
O'Clock, Mrs. O. having just left the village a
visit to Carroll, the teachers and children in the
school room, he and his wife were left alone in the
sitting room He took out his razors, and prepared
10 shave him Gas II appears). Stepping up behind
his wife, who sal sewing, he drew il with deadly
ERECT across her throat; he then LAID down that ra
zor, look the other, and stepping into bedroom
ne cut hls own throat, Ms. Cornell was Just able
torush lew steps to the school room she fell she
entered, and N a moment was dead Cornell still
Ives; he cannot speak, he is constantly writing apon
a. sls rs TO nose about him. he exhlbl!s no remorse
ene sentences of attempted justification and desire
ior death. As we read the bret exposition of his
isehhgs taken from his slate, the deed must have
oeen long pemedated. We have heard insanity
mentioned He appears calm and collected, evincing
no mama but that arrangement OF the moral nature
ofWhch his CRIME is legitimate consequence Cor
