| = UNPARALLELED BRUTALITY.-A most un-
rrecedented piece of brutality was enacted
one day last week by human form resi-
ding in our neighbouring town of Cornish,
N. H. The facts as near as we are able to
Learn, are simply these: A widow, lady re-
siding in the East part of the town, whose
her in possession of small farm, &c. few
months since married a second husband -
This second husband it appears did not in
the lady's estimation, in all things quite
equal the first husband. Of this she took
occasion to remind him-remarking in no
very pleasant tone that things didn't
80 so when he was on the farm" At this the
husband started without word, went to the
barn, put his oxen into a cart, proceeded to
the graveyard, and actually dug up the re-
mains Of the first husb0nd-carrieI The coffin
home and set it dO,Un in the kitchen dcclari. e
that elf it would make SO much difference
HE should be on the farm.
