REVOLVING MURDER.

On Saturday morning last, the 30lh uli.I
n most inhuman murder was committed,
near Fulton in Clarendon County of this
District, by a man Of the name Of Reuben
Stark. While his wife was preparing
breakfast, Stark went into The yard, GO, an
axe, and, coming into the house, struck her
and her two children on The back Of the
head with it, causing thom to fall inscnsi.
bic. He then consummatctl his horrible
design by cutting their lhroa.s with razor.
A servant girl, whom he pursued with the
same intent, escaped and fed. After Kill
ling his wife and children. lie attempted
10 Eill himself by cutting his throat; bul
only succeeded in inflicting dangerous
wound. being prevented from completing
his attempt. On Sunday afternoon he was
br ought To this place and confined in The
district Jail. lie will probably recover
from his wound.
In numbering his wife, Stark destroyed
the existence Of u being, which, though it
had not ye. seen the light, in tho eye Of
the law, is considered as having an exis-
lcnce.
We are informed that Stark, Of the time
Of numbering his family, was under the in
fuence Of dclirium fremens: and that for
sometime previous to the act. he had fre-
qncntly threatened the life Of his wife.
