Tie murder A.ong I..aaa.


The New York 17aaessays: James Wick
ham, Esq, formerly of the firm of Wick
ham & Corwin, and long a resident in this
city was married but two or three years
since to Miss Frances Post, of Quogue,
Long Island, and soon after bought the
spacious mansion house in Cutchogue,
known as the property formerly ofJosiah
Albertson, Esq. The house is very large
modern built, and beautifully situated on a
branch Of Peconic Bay, while deep lawn
extends some forty rods in front of the
postroad. The village of Cutchogue itself
is one of the most quiet and rural of the
east end of Long Island. It is portion
of the old town Of Southold, wherein the
last murder that was committed dates back
at least thirty years. The house standing
back from the road, and distance of a
quarter of mile from any neighhors, ,facili-
tated by It's seclusion the designs of the
fiend. Mr.. Wickham had purchased a
large farm, and employed, of course, many
men upon it. Mr.. and Mrs. w. were both
highly esteemed wherever known, and en-
joyed in this city large circle of friends.
Mr.. WIS father, mother, brother andsisters
reside within mile of the scene of this
bloody murder. One brother, whose farm
lies on the north side, is reputed the lar
gest farmer in Suffolk county It was an
uncle of the murdered man, Virginia
lawyer, who took an honorable part in the
trial of Aaron Burr for treason.
The MURDERER CAUGHr.-On Monday
1000 persons went out to hunt him; and
after a long search, discovered the nisera-
BILE creature lying partially covered up,
among some brushwood in a swamp, with
his throat partially cut, but not SO badly
as to render his recovery doubtful. He
had evidently attempted escape from the
galloWs by suicide. Hewas taken to barn
and his wounds attended to by two doctors,
so that he will recover.
The great curiosity exhibited by the ex-
cited populace induced Constable Nesbit
to CRAFTY them; and, therefore, he reques-
ted them to form line, and pass in single
! file by the criminal, which they did, and
were enable to take view Of the monster
as ne lay. Each one, as he passed, gave
vent to his feelings by an exclamation Of
<'Oh, you villainF' "oh, you murderer!''
You ought to be burned aliveP' and all
such similar expressions. The great ex-
cltement was now over-the fugitive was
caught, and is in the hands of the law.
The funeral of Mr.. and Mrs. Wickham
was attended by an immense concourse of
sorrowing friends, relatives and neighbors
The coloredb boy and servant girl will proba-
bly, not recover.

the murder Of the Wickham family, has

est to give the "Ohio Cultivator'' bis attention,
but also bis material add
The follosing extract, By its Editors, fairly
and fully shows with what discOuragements
they meet, and what encOuragements they
should receive by the agricultural portion Of
our state.
In sustaining an Independent Agricultural
paper in the West. we find ourselves. like most
Of our cOtemporaries. obliged to contend, not
only with the apathy Of the people whose cause
we advocate, but against the enerOachments OF
foreign adventures, who neither understand
the mode ofcultivaton best adapted to our soil
and climate, nor sympathise with the tolls and
diseouragements OF our rural population.
To render ourselves familiar with all these
We have repeatedly visited nearly every section
of the West, meeting the farmer upon his own
soil and entering into the peculiar wants OF his
location.
This course we shall continue to pursue, and
shall spare no reasonable labor or expenses to
make the OHIo CuiTIvATcR an indispensable
companion to the Industrial classes Of the West.
In this endeayoT we do not interfere with the
local press. which we hope TO see better sus-
tanned, by taking possession Of he whole
ground now so much encountered By the thrasy
sheets Of Eastern publishers We call upon
the West to sustain its own interests both 10
literature and labor, and hope to see both more
firmly fixed in the affections Of the people.

T. R. Laird the junior Editor and proprietor
of the Democratic Companion" of this place,
left our town, couple of weeks since, under

been informed by A, s. Ramsy Esq, with
whom Mr. Laird boarded that letter has been
received, announcing that he is at The home Of
n sister in Athens county, Ohio, laboring un

We sincerely hope, that this melancholy
circumstance will be Of short Duration and
that we shall soon greet our young friend at his
editorial post.
