troubles and shame in the death of the suicide.
The presence of by-passers interposed; and
calmer thoughts prevailing, she returned home.
| For two weeks, Margaret's health continued
very steadily to decline Without knowing any
cause for the change, her mistress and fellow
| servants Observed tho eridenna of and III
ness upon her, and were al the more surprised
from knowledge of her supposed wedding. A
few days before the final event, the rumor that
Drum was to marry girl named Mcclure, was
| brought 70 Margaret, snd became current among
her friends. Her frenzy and grief were unbound
ed. On the afternoon of the 4th of August she
was told that her lover had actually been mar
ried TO this girl Mcclure. She at once became,
If not actually insane, yet so far deranged as to
be the subject of remark TO several witnesses
unaware of any of the circumstances About
o'clock in the evening she left Mr. fuckers
house, and went down to the place where she had
reason to believe Drum and his wife were stay
ing. For two or three hours she hung about the
neighborheod waiting the appearance Of the
wretch who bed stolen her honor. The neigh
bors remarked her extraordinary behaviour. and
stunned her, supposing her 10 be crazy. At
last Drum and his bride came out The night
was intensely dark, and Margaret followed them
some distance unobserved. She had concealed
her face by drawing veil close over it. Near
the corner of Plane and New streets, her grasp
fell upon the arm Of her seducer, and in another
moment-long enough for the doomed man to
recognize the avenger-the steady stroke of
knife had sent him 10 his final retribution
The alarm was given, but she had made her
escape. Reason appears to have returned with
the fulfllment Of her revenge. The murder
was committed about 10 o'clock; and few
minutes afterward she went TO her bedroom
told the other servants what she had done, threw
herself on bed for moment or two, then hud-
ding some clothing together, told them she was
going to her brothers in Brooklyn, and left the
house. The search for her was unsuccessful,
and it is not improbable that the strong feeling
OF sympathy with her wrongs on the part of the
public would have prevented any very energetic
efforts to secure her arrest Two days after
ward, however, she returned 70 Newark, accom-
panied by her relatives, and surrendered herself
to the authorities. /

The Plague I'm the CanarIes.
DREADFUL MORTALITY.

Acorrespondent \ of the New Orleans Picayune
furnishes the following account of the progress
of terrific epidemic at the Canary Islands
The first victims caught it while fishing on the
coast of Africa. Itwas apprehended that the
negro traders would bring the disease TO Ha-
vana:
The year opened under the most favorable
auspices for the Canary Islands, their increase
In commerce and population being well known
The fine arts also hourished. But the destiny
which for a moment seemed 10 rest from the
persecution of these islands, which had date
from the time when they took the name of the
unfortunate, again fell upon them with more
fury than ever. Before its terrible auathema,
commerce was paralyzed, the theatres were
closed, CONSERVATION seized every mind, the in
habitants hid themselves, or retired TO the coun
try, and soon stupor, sadness, and almost des-
pair, replaced the hours of felicity of those once
happy people
On the 9th Of June, 1851, the official journal
Of the province contained the following" The
Board of Health Of the District CT Las Pa.mas
in the Canaries, has informed the Superior of
the Province, under date of the 9TH inst, that
. in the barrio of San Jose, in the city OF the
same name, some cases OF epidemic cholera NOR
bus have appeared" In consequence of this
! precautionary measures were ordered TO be
/ taken.
| For some months this infrmity had been pre-
vailing in the city of Las Palmas, displaying
itself in isolated cases. The faculty, through
ignorance or malice, classed il as malignant
/ quinsy. But the authorities, ascertaining that
many persons were dying. that the sick survived
but short time, and that the corpses showed
black spots and we're horribly disfgured. or
dered the Board of Health OF the island, under
the strictest responsibility, TO declare the na-
| ture of the epidemic. Then, with general ter
| ror, the announcement We have alluded to was
/ received.
History does not record anything SO sad as
| the spectacle which the island OF Grand Canary
has presented, and still presents The best Ill
| reeted pen attempts in vain to relate such mis-
| fortunes and horrors, and words would not bt
sufficient to depict their intensity.
! The epidemic now ragged with such fury tba
! the inhabitants in CONSERVATION abandoned tn,
! town, without caring for any thing but their per
! sons, to such an extent that they even forpo
the ties of blood. Death surprised them in IN,
midst OF their flight, so that the roads were coy
F., cred with eorPses, over which not a tear o
friendship, or OF tlial fraternal love was shed
because terror had smothered every sentimen
except that of preservation As Was to be ex
pected, the fugitives, carrying with them tn,
4 fatal germ, infected the country. which becam,
the theatre of the most horrible scenes
The beasts, abandoned in the city, pe.ishe.

The government was not consolidated. and hail

almost without means credit, to feed the

and humanity combined with unfinching firm

OF military power TO arrest the rising array of
lawless passion. Often his apt and pithy speech

repartee; and the crowd in good humor dis

for want Of food, and the accommodation Of the r
bodies, together with that of the human corpses
| which remained unburied in the streets vitiated
| the atmosphere 10 such an extent that any un-
| fortunate person who mi ght return to the city
! Tell dead almost as soon he entered q hou4
However, this new eonfreteTnps was stopped "a
soon possible by the energetic measures taken
! by Ine worthy Military Governor and by ths
humanity of the second alcalde of the Ccrregidor
and various young men, many of whom fell VIC
tins TO their heroism.
At last the supposition was confirmed that the
epidemic was not the cholera, but the q rribie
plague OF the Mooss, it having been ascertained
that 1t was introduced into the island of Grand
Canary by the fishing vessels which frequent tie
western coasts of Africa. The persons in the
island devoted to this traffic, numbering about
l, 800, have almost all persisted, as there remain
only enough TO man single vessel. According
TO the declarations of the u sters of the said
vessels, on all the western shores Of Africa there
reTgns deathiy pest which carries of the in
habitants, the mortality being SO great that
the corpses are streHn upon the earth in il
credible numbers, and their decompC sition sue-
ments the influence of the corrupted atu-o--
phere.
As soon as the Commandant General of the
Province learned the abandonment Of the city
of Las Palmss, he sent q portion Of the garrison
OF the capital to bury the dead, bat the greater
portion Of the soldiers were attacked By the
epidemic and died. In short, IN order 10 give
an idea of the ravages of the pest, it is only
necessary to state that in two months q, COO
persons died in the city of Las Paimas and
10000 in the whole island. Up to the last dates
the plague had spared the towns Of Agaete and
Fejeda.
The bishop is one of the persons in Grand
Canary who have contributed most to the ale
Walton of suffering humanity This holy pre-
late and worthy pastor, with resignation truly
evangelical, displayed the utmost charity, zeal,
and interest IN behalf of the unhappy people.
He was, and still IS, untiring in traversing the
streets, opening his purse, giving spiritual con-
ISOLATION, establishing hospital in his OWE
palace, and IN ministering to the unhappy VIC
tins with his own hands. The Brothers Of
Charity and the youths Of the ho,pieio, initiating
this hero, who has acquired eternal glory, and
who appears messenger of the Most High,
lent all their efforts TO assist the afflicted
At the last dates, August 18th, the epidemic
abated considerably in the city, though II still
ragged in the country.
