The Ouachita Register, of the 18th, contains
the following paragraphs:
A brutal and horrid murder was committed
some ten days since on the person OF one Mrs
Jones, o poor unfortunate woman, with two
small children residing in little log school
house in the neighborhood of louisville, in this
parish. who was found dead in the morning, her
body being partially consumed by the burning
Of the building over her helpless head. All
that is yet known of this revolving tragedy is
from the two little children, who state that du-
ring tho night some one entered the house, and,
after some loud words had passed, a struggle en-
sued between their mother and the person, the
former having been knocked down, and after
wards struck several times; that after they
had been similarly treated, the door was fast
ened and the house set on fire, which prevented
them from succeeding in the attempt they made
to rescue the body Of their almost helpless mo-
ther from the flames, they being forced to creep
out of the window to save their own lives.
On Saturday, 18th, an ARRAY took place at a
grog- shop in the Colony, about eight miles dis
tant from this place, between one George Posey
and man named Vincent, which ended in the
death Of the latter. 1t seems that fight had
previously ensued between the parties within
the precincts of this popular hell, in which Vim,
cent was victorious whereupon Posey stepped
| out the door, procured shotgun, and chal-
| lenged Vincent to come out, stating, at the
| same time, that if he did he would shoot him
which he did as soon as Vincent obeyed the
| challenge, infietiDg wound which caused his
| death in less than fifteen minutes.

The LOST FouSD.-The young lady, Miss Mar
tina Parks, whose mysterious disappearance we
noted last week, has been found. She was dis
covered day or two since. about half mile
from town in canebrake, near the head of the
Bissel mill pond, by q couple of slaves, much
s battered in the mind and body, having remained
in her strange seclusion eleven days, without
sufficient food or drink to sustain life much
lon,rer. She was brought home and restored to
her family, where she is doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances. She
states that her object was to starve herself to
death, and that she had eat nothing but few
blackberries which she gathered on the morn
ing that she left her home. charlotte IN. CD

Last evening, at 8 o'clock, says the Buffalo
Advertiser of the 10Th instant, two young ladies
were returning home from a visit to married
sister, and when passing the corner of Pearl
and Upper streets, were suddenly set upon by
two dogs. The dogs jumped over the ratings Of
garden and sprang at once upon the young
badly torn, and her neck either torn by the
claws of the animal, or slightly bitten The
other dog did not appear to be SO vicious, but
Selling the other lady's shawl, tore it almost
into shreds. We trust this matter will not be
suffered to rest, but that the friends of the in
jured parties will kill the dogs and sue their
owners for damages. We believe one Of the dogs
has occasioned trouble before

A TOUGH SNAKE SroRY.--The st. Louis Her.
aid Of July II tells, with apparent faith in its
truth, a case where child became fascinated
with black snake. This child, the Herald
states, had for long time been pining away
without any known disease. She could not be
prevailed upon to eat any thing in her fathers
house, but would take a piece of bread and go
to the bank of a creek. Her father followed
her secretly. and saw large black snake make
its appearance, and would express anger by hiss
ing when the child took bite of the bread.
The next day the father shot the snake as it
made its appearance. The child swooned, but
on recovering from that state was seized with
spasms and contortions resembling the snakes
and died the same moment Of the snake.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT--The Portland State of
Maine says that as some shoemakers in Gorham
Me-, were making shoemakers wax, the ma
terials in some way took fire, enyeloping the
shop in smoke. A farmer and his son passing
at the time, supposing the shop to be on FIRE.
rushed in to extinguish it, and in the confusion
a large can of campheue exploded shattering
the doors and windows, and setting fire to the
building and to the inmates. The farmer and
his son escaped with their clothes on fire, and
ran to neighboring house, when a lady, seeing
their condition, endeavored to extinguish the
flames by throwing milk upon them, having no
other liquid at hand, but it was too late. The
old gentleman died in short time, and the son
is not expected to recover The workmen in
the shoemaker's shop were somewhat burned,
not very seriously. E.

of the season-that is, we trust no other can

in the evening maintained its position at SO
degrees, without any apparent indication of a
decline. In our composing room in the fifth
