HoRRID MuRDER.--A most horrid murder was
committed last evening about 81 o'clock, at the
house number 274 st Louis street, by an TIA
liam, named Mario Argiddio, upon Francis
Garrelleo 1t seems that the former, who was
a peddler, had lived unhappily with his wife,
who on account OF his brutality left him some
three mouths ago, and resided in the same
house with the murdered man. Last evening
Argddo called at the house of the former, and
requested that he should be allowed to take one
of his children, then with its mother, and have
it baptized by Catholic clergymen. To this,
his wife objected when Garreleo interfered in
her behalf, and dispute ensued between them
and blows were interchanged. Argiddio at
length drew, as is supposed, stilletto and
plunged it into the left side of his opponent,
striking to the heart and causing immediate
death He then fled and had not been arrested
up to a late hour last night Garrelleo was a
carpenter, and is said to have been very peac-
able and industrious man.
