Murder and burglary are assuming the
important position of public affairs, and
furnish, indeed, by far the largest amount as
well as most stirring portion Of our weeks
news. more remarkable variety,s more
corious fertility of invention, was never ex-
empifed by the record of a single week.
And If we extend the record to minor Of
fences, it becomes still more curious. The
most recent of the outrages is one belong
ing to the Corder class, Jael Denmy, The
belle of Donninghurst, near Brentw ood, is
inveigled, by failhless lover, into lonely
place, and strangled. The rascal, it would
seem, had for some time practiced the art
of strangulation in his own room, With a
view to facilitate his marriage by putting the
mother of the child, that would have been
born to him, ou, Of the way. The case be-
longs to an old class; but it has seldom been
presented in form SO revolving, from its
coId-blooded delberation. At an Inefiable
place in Wales, one Jones, failing 10 obtain
a possession of a legacy bequeathed to his
mother, emigrates to America, leaving his
wife and chiltlreu-so stands the accusation
to poison the legatee. In the burglary at

one of the men engaged in the attack on
MIR. Hollest-contribute to the peculiar di-
versiiy. Among the stranger incidents is
one Of milder order. A gen'leman was
so alarmed al the Frimley murder, that he
prepared his pistols against the possibility
Of an attack. At last it came-be heard
burglars attempting The house, and the OPP
portunity had arrived for trying the excel
ence Of his pistols; bpt he was now so A.
harmed that be was perfectly paralyzed and
it would seem, indulged in II rapid success

perseverance until the hurglurs--made off.
