ATROCIOUS MURDER.

MT. Orrin Woodford, of West Avon, in this State who has heretofore been regarded as respectable man, and is farmer of some property,-on Tues- day last, in the most inhuman manner butchered his wife. He had been in the habit of using ardent spirit pretty freely, though he was never reputed an incorporate man, and on this day had been drink ing immoderatey of cider. A short time before the murder he had used some threatening language towards his wife,-to which, when in that cond- tion he was much addicted, and he had often been guilty of violence as we'll as insolence towards her.
 Their only child, boy of 14 years, was sent a. way by his father about o'clock, P. M.-to attend to the cattle-the parents being the only persons remaining in the house,--in his absence. On his return, about half an hour after, he met his father at the gate, who requested him not to go into the house, as he feared he had killed his mother The boy ran away in alarm and aroused the neigh bors,-who soon arrived and entered the house, where they found the body of Mrs. Woodiord. hor- ribly mangled, lying in pool of blood on the floor Her forehead over the left eye was beaten in appar ently by three blows with the head of axe direct ly upon one place,-crushing and 'mangling the head in the most ghastly manner-There was also cut with the edge of an axe on the side of her head, above the ear. Also cut with sharp knife from the corner of her mouth down the cheek an inch or two. Also a dreadful gash in her som- ach, l2 inches long. and deep to let out the intestine, evidently made by sharp knife. She was still gasping when discovered, and continued
 
 stained with blood was found near the body. Mr. Woodford is man of very violent temper, land at this time seems to have given way to fancAed prov ocation, under the influence of unnatural stimulus Mrs. w. was church member, and highly esteem ed as mild and pleasant woman-and as an excel lent member of society and of her family.
 Woodiord made no attempt to escape.-but allow ed himself to be bound by the neighbors. and the next day was examined before Justice Day and >m- mitted for trial. He seemed through the whole examination to be entirely uLmoved, and his eye was not once seen to moisten as the sickening de- tails of the evidence were presented, and when he leit in custody of the officer for prison, although the trial was at his own house. and the mangled corpse of the wife with whom he had lived for ff- teen years, lay in the next room, he did so. with out requesting to be allowed to look at the body Mrs. w. was 47 years of age-Mr W. of about the same age-Hwtford CosTant ef 1narsdGy

 .a,s Ofer ef Marriage on Mount 1o'n-As party of pleasure were ascending Mount Tom a few days ago, a we'll dressed man, furnished with fishing tackle, accosted lady, one of the party, who had loiterec behind her companions, to en. ioy, without interruption, the beautiful scenery which lay along the rich valley of the Connect icut
 Good morning, madam ? said the fisherman, touching his hat. ..... ..t..5.y.,-
 Good morning, sir ]" replied the lady. with a dignity of manner which would have been consid- cred perfect at the Court of Queen Elizabeth.
 1t is fine morning, madam.' continued the gentleman 1; Fl saw your bonnet at the foot of the hill. and thought should like to marry the lady who wore that bonnet. It struck my fancy exact ly, and have walked up here, to ask you if you would like to enter that blessed state with me-
 The lady was somewhat startled at the abrupt ness of this proposition, and her first impulse was to hurry on to her companions but her dignity and self possession prevailed, and she quietly turn ed to the stranger and said, 1t was very serious proposal to come from one who had never seen her before.'
 sBut have seen your bonnet,' said he, and know you will suit me. have money, and good house at the foot of yonder hill My wife and children are dead; am all alone. If you outlive me, you shall have all my property If you die first, you shall be we'll buried have just got a new stone for the grave of my wife, for which I gave twenty-six dollars buy all my things for the house by the quantity. You shall be well provided for in every thing. don't think you could do better.'
 The lady had seen much of the world-had held command in the fashionable circles of the South and the "chivalry' had pended the knee to her beauty and accomplishments, and the learned to the intelligence and cultivation of her mind. She had sailed triumphant and unconquered every where, and to be thus waylaid and entrapped into matrimony, was thing not to be thought of for a moment; !; and so she raised her form to more than its usual height, and giving additional dignity to the inclination of her head, she bowed "good bye" to the fishing widower, and left him to be- stow himself and his grave stones on some one else.

Poisoned Cheese.-Last Saturday evening, says the Reading Gazette number of families, W ho had eaten at supper ofsome English Cheese, purchased at one of the stores. were attacked after, with violent vomiting which in some instances, lasted without intermission until the following morning, accompanied with considerat e pain in the storn- ach. Timely medical aid brought about the resto- ration of all the persons thus afflicted; though not until after much suffering by them. The Cheese was remarkably fine looking, and had an excellent taste: but it IS supposed to have been mixed, in some way, with poisonous substance. The opin- ion of several medical gentlemen is that the poison was generated in a metallic or earthen vessel, in which the milk was placed, during the process of coagulation.
