PARRIcIDE BY AN INSANE WoMAN.--On

m'tled in the town of Virgil, about TWEEN.
ty miles from Ithica, New York, by Miss
Edwards. On the morning of that day
she requested her mother 10 20 an err
rand to house a few rods distant from
theirs, and whilst she was absent, ap.
preached Mr.. Edwards her father who
was shaving, and struck him a violent
blow across the back Of the neck with az
axe. lie fell 10 the floor his head nearly
severed rom his body. Having repeated
the blow two or three times, she cut his
throat with the razor that he had been
using. Miss Edwards then called from
the door to her mother, and when she re-
iutnea attacked her with the razor
with the assistance Ct Il little boy, how
ever II was wrested from her before she
had been able to do much more mischief.
The reason assigned by the murderess for
these dreadful deeds, was that she thought
the family had lived long enough, and
alter killing the other members, she in.
tended TO put an end 10 her own life.
Miss Edwards is about thirty years OF age,
a member Of the Presbyterian church all
Virgil, and had about $4,000 at interest,
one half Of the proceeds Of which she an
nuaIy gave for the support of the minister.
She bad previously exhibited symptoms
OF insanity, but not 10 degree TO alarm

ELLIoTS THOUGHTS ON PEACE.

ELLlOTS THOUGHTS ON PEACE.
How WAR IS REGARDED.--No one ms.
titles war in itself, By commoa consent
it is denounced as an accused thing
worse than the pestilence which waIketh
I'm darkness-worse than the destruction
which wasteth at MONDAY. Tho martial
array no longer appears as a beautiful pa
geaniIy; the battle trumpet no longer de.
lights The ear. We associate with Me
sword lis deeds Of blood, and deem it no
more suitable for an ornament than the
surgeons amputating kniGe.--We look
upon the parade of arms, and think Of
The death agonjes of the battle field, and
consider lis pomp and display, its form
and circumstance, as unified for the duty
of the soldier, as they would be for the
public eTecutloner. If it be necessary to
destroy life in any manner, we no longer
attach to It either glory or honor, There
is true democracy looking in upon the
world! Each man is considered as
brother, whatever be his country or his
home, or however poor or degraded ne
may be. Individual life is considered OF
little aue,-Ilappiness 10 the people is
more thought Of now than the glory
which associated itself in times past with
he talent for human destruction,

They tell me of the sylph, like forms
That float along the may dance,
Where love the glowing BOSOM warns
In sunny Spain and vine-cad France:
But still sing-the girls we love!
And still drink no other toast;
The girls we love-all girls above,
Our fondest pride our brightest boast!
The girls we lore! The girls we love---

Of noble blood and lofty birth
But give me still ourown bright fair,
Ennobled by their peerless worth!

Then, fill and drink the spark ling toast
The girls we love--all girls above,
Our farest pride, our fondest boast.
The girls we love! The girls we love!
The bright eyed daughters of the WEST
The girls we love!-Oh! who would rove,
When by such girls our homes arc blest2
Then tell not o! Houries bri ght,

tlced few days past the Introduction Of
a Holland custom into our city by some
of the fashionable up town people.-Two
circular mirrors are fastened to the Sc
cond story window of house Just below
Eighth street, and so arranged (outside of
the buning) as TO reflect almost the en-
tire length of Broadway, up and down.
The fair Spectator can sit quietly in her
room, out Of sight, and watch the throng
OF passers by, as they come and 20 on

The custom originated 10 Holland, where

her leisure, smiling and bowling 10 this or

spring SO small that a single or in sum

unobrusiyo way among the hills, ill 1t
spreads out in the beautiful Ohio. Thence
It stretches away thousand miles, leay-
ing on its banks more than a hundred
vii ages and cities, and many Thousand
cultivated Trans, and bearngon its bosom
more than half a thousand steamboats,.
Then joining the Mississippi, it stretches
away and away some twelve hundred
miles more, until it falls into the great
emblem Of eternity. 1t is one OF the
tributaries Of that ocean which, obedient
only to God, shall roll and roar, till the an
gel with one foot on the sea and the other
on the land shall lift up his hand to heav-
en-, and swear that time shall be no longer.
So with moral influence. 1t is a rlll-a

Ashe turns his easy chair!

With quill in hand his brains must beat
But never indulge !op!
