Mr.. Taylor (Ohio] said instead of progress
ing with the business of the country, the hands

he said, you repeal the Missouri Compromise,

such action to numerical majority, not to the
patriotism and good sense of the country.

against the bill, the Committee rose and the
House afiourned

A WORCESTER GIRL MURDERED. The
Panama Star, of April 10th, contains the full
particulars of the late murder committed on
board the Steamship Yankee Blade, on her re-
cent passage to Panama, and the arrest of the
murderer. 1t says the prisoner is 26 years of
age, that he was born in Springfield, Mass,
and says his name is Edward H. Avery.
The deceased female, whose name was Su-
sauna Russell, was rather good looking young
woman, with bright eyes, she was about twen-
ty years of age. They became acquainted in
house of i'll fame in Worcester, Mass, where
they both resided at the time. Avery becom-
ing much attached to her, proposed taking her
to California, and for that purpose he brought
her down to New York city, where they lived
together as man and wife until he engaged
passage for her on board the Yankee Blade,
he agreeing to work his own passage. He
represented her as his sister on board. The
Captain, whose goodness of heart throughout
the whole affair has been most noble and hui
name, in order to protect her from insult in the
steerage, for which her passage had been TAX
en-, gave her berth in slater room in the sec
ond cabin with another woman. This remov-
ed her considerably from the presence of her
lover, who worked on the forward deck; and
she, taking advantage of her position, began
to firt with the young men on board, which,
when the knowledge thereof came to the ears
OF Avery, rendered him exceedingly Jealous.
On the 18th of February, at about o'clock
IN the evening, the passengers were alarmed
by shrieks from female voice, which proved
to be Susanna Russell, who ran about the af-
ter deck, crying, "my brother has killed me!''
and falling upon the deck, in five minutes she
was corpse. She had been but fow min
utes previous to that, sitting in the cabin, en-
gagged in lively conversation with one of the
passengers, when Avery called her ON deck.
| On approaching her he drew from belt in his
side ten inch bowie knife, with which he
stabbed her i'll the right breast, severing one
| OF the large arteries, the knife passing through
her back. Immediately after committing this
dreadful deed, he snapped pistol twice at his
own breast, but finding it would not go off,
he drew razor from his pocket, with which
he cut deep and severe cash in his throat
then rushing forward to where she had fallen.
and where the passengers and others began to
collect, he cried, stand back, gentlemen
stand back, did it y then falling beside tho
dead body, he wept over it, and kissed the
marble cheeks, saying 81 loved that girl,
but you cabin passengers did this"
The Star says that since Avery was commit
ted to prison, he appears quite penitent. The
mother of Avery resides, it is said in Connec-
ticut near Norwich.

Before Judge Grecs.--John Baldwin, for dis
turbing the peace, was sentenced to two months
in the House of Correction. Johns case was
as follows. He had lately become strongly
impressed with the idea that bis better half
did not yield him that amount of obedience
and respect, which legitimately belong to the
!" Lords Of Creation, and for this reason he
determined to give up housekeeping. He ac-
cordingly armed himself with sledge ham
mer, with which he demolished astove, worth
more than $50, shiyered into atoms several
chairs and tables, and pulverized large
amount Of china and other crockery. He
then turned his wife out of doors. The watch
men apprehended him for this outrage, upon
which he resisted most desperately and it
was only after they bound him, that he was
brought to the watch house. He viii be COM

NECESSITY THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
During the burning of Mrs. Newhall's barn in
Leicester on Wednesday evening, both wells
upon the premises were sucked dry by the
FIRE engine The FIRE was not entirely extiu-
guished on the dwelling house, and the fallen
timbers of the barn were still burning. At
this crisis, the cry was raised for .'more wa
terri but the supply being exhausted, it was
feared the FIRE would conquer. Some of the
fremen, however, undsunted by this new diff
fculty, immediately went to work and erected
dam across the gutter by the road side, where
the water was flowing freely. The suction
hose was put into this new reservoir, and the
frerncn were supplied therefrom with all the
water they needed.
