AiEiiIlg Case.

A man named Paschal G. House was
killed by his wife on Tuesday last, in the
neighborhood Of North River in this coun-
ty. We give the particulars as VIC heard
them, believing them to be correct.
1t seems that the deceased and his wife
lived at the house of one Nathan Stradley.
Mrs. House had done needle-work and wash
ing for Stradley, for which he was indebted
to her small amount. On the day prcvi-
Gus to the killing, House and Stradiey came
to town together, and as was customary with
them, both got intoxicated, and returned
home at night with a jug of liquor. The
liquor, it appears, was purchased with the
money due Mrs. House from Stradley, he
having paid it TO House instead Of his wife.
On her complaining Of his spending her
hard earnings. House, under the influence
of liquor, became enra2ed and beat and
kicked her about some two or three times
Mrs. House, smarting under blows, and
driven to desperation by the inhuman treat
ment of her husband, seized an axe, and
dealt him two or three blows on the head,
separating the skull. Stradley, on interfer-
ing and endeavoring to ward off the blows.
received a severe cut on the hand. House
died from the effects of the wounds in about
two or three hours; and, according to public
sentiment, Stradley would not have met
more than his just deserts had he shared
the same fate as his drunken partner.
Mrs. House underwent an examination
before Justice g. w. Hassell, and was com
mitted to prison to await her trial.
This unfortunate woman, we learn, has
two children-one an infant, which she is
sucking injail. This is truly melancholy
affair." and ought to be warning to all who
indulge in intoxicating drinks.

\ few weeks since, Mr.. Core. planter Of
Fayette county, was in one OF his fields,
some distance from his residence, when he
perceived approaching him from the woods,
stout able-bodied negro man. Mr.. Core
waited bis approach, thinking he belonged
to one Of his neighbors, and had been sent
upon some Grand. lie came boldly up to
Mr.. G. and accostad him thus:
"Your name is Mr. Core am a run
away and have long wished to have a con-
versatiou with you. do not fear being APP
prehendcd-I am well armed-(exhibIting
to Mr. G. It splendid brace Of pistols and a
bowie knife)-but | have long wanted to sec
you In the first place, wish TO pay You,
as your negroes have been feeding me for
several months, and | have plenty of
money-(puiling out of his pocket, as he
spoke, large roll of bank nOtes)-and as
sure you, never murdered any man to gct
it. / got it by robbing houses IN Memphis"
-(naming many houses here and EXHIBIT
ing to Mr.. G. large bunch OF false keys.)
Mr.. c., doubling the propricty Of at
tempting to arrest him, as he was alone, con-
cluded lie would question him about two
runaways who had bcen gone sometime, and
asked the negro if he knew them. Thc ne
GRO promptly replied that lac did know them,
and volunteered TO assist Mr.. c. III arresting
them and told him if he would meet him
alone at the same place the next day, he
would carry him where he could arrest both
the negroes, as they had been very trouble
l., %, III 4bo,,,
Mr.. c. promised to meet HIM at the place
and time appointed, but instead Of going
alone, he took with him his Oyerseer and
another young man, and secreted them, arm
ed with double -barrellcd guns, in the vicini-
ty Of the place Ct meeting At the ap-
pointed time, the runaway made his ap-
pearance but instead Of finding Mr.. &. alone
found the two gentlemen with their guns
levelled upon him. He at once surrender
ed, and gave up his weapons begging them
not to tie him, as he wanted to be taken,
and was tired Of staying out, having been
in the woods near five years; that he belong
ed to a gentleman in Alabama and that he
would still 60 with them and show them the
two negroes, as he had promised. They
concluded to trust him, and all four proceed
ed in company to an old, deserted cabin,
hard by Upon approaching the cabin, our
hero informed his captors that the two ne
groes were in it-that there was but one
door and no window-that if they would
suffer him to approach the cabin first, as soon
as he entered the door they might close up
and thus capture them, with his assistance;
They agreed to this plan, and he proceeded
cautiously towards the cabin, and as he en-
tered the door, beckoned to them to rush
up. They did so. but 10 and behold they
perceived a back window, through which
their prisoner had jumped, and mounting
the overseer's horse had made good his es-
cape. Memphis Eagle d. En2'e'reT'

MORE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.
The Liberty party will hold second Ma
tional Convention at Buffalo on the 1st of
September, when as is supposed, they will
take the liberty Of nominating President
and Vice President Messrs Gerritt Smith
and Charles Durkee having had the good
sense to decline the greatness ''thrust upon
them by the former Convention. Some of
the national committee of this party partici-
pated the recent Convention at Pittsburgh,
but the result thereof was not exactly what
they wanted. Go on, gentlemen there can
be bat one President, after all, and Gen.
Scott, we suspect, will be the man.
