SHOCKING MuRDER.-The Ouachita Register of
a late date hos the fo1lowjnp.

SHOCKING MURDER.--The Ouaehita Register of
a late date has the following:
GA brutal and horrid murder was committed
some ten days since on the person Of one Mrs.
Jones, poor unfortunate woman, with two
mall 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 during
the night some one entered the house, and, after
some loud words had passed, a struggle ensued
between their mother and the person, the former
having been knocked down and afterwards
struck several times, that after they had been
similarly treated, the door was fastened and the
house set on fire, which prevented them from
succeeding in the attempt they made to rescue
the body of their almost helpless mother from
the flames, they being forced to creep out of the
window to save their own lives. From all the
circumstances connected with the character of
the deceased, together with the revelation made
by the children, we are disposed to believe that
the perpetrator Of this unprovoked murder was
y lawless black, who, knowing her defenceless
situation, forcibly outraged her person and
afterwards resorted to this hellish extremity to
conceal the act"

MURDER AND AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.-On

man being chased by dogs, and finding himself
about to be overtaken, deliberately cut his own
throat; but it is not thought to be fatal, al
though very severe wound The woman was
murdered by the man for refusing to marry

On Sunday morning last, three of our citizens
were in New Orleans. They took the cars for
the Lake, thence boat, the Alton, for Madison
vile, on pleasure excursion, thence the same
boat round to the Pass; there they took the
cars to the State line, where they arrived early
in the evening of the same day of starting from
the city, and would have been at home that
night, by horseback, had not heavy rain come
up, putting stop to their further progress for
the day. Breakfasting in New Orleans and
supping at the Holmesville hotels the same day
will be no unusual matter when the cars get to
running with more regularity, and without the
aid of steamboating, which will be the case
when the yet unfinished work is completed at
the Pass, which, we understand, requires about
three weeks labor to finish. Holmesrille

his death wound. He retains a perfect com

never saw his wife after the day that he was

SEVERE SToRM.-A severe storm of rain, ac-
companied with considerable thunder and light
uing, visited our city yesterday, and continued
with much violence for some hours
About l o'clock the bark Clement, Capt
Eldridge, lying at the head of Potter's Wharf,
and loading with lumber for Providence, r. l.,
was struck by the electric fluid, which shivered
the maintop- gallantmast, injured the head OF
the mainmast, and passed from thence into the
hold through the starboard pump and returned
to the deck, passing through the galley, and in
its course knocking down the mate and cook,
who, however, soon became sensible. The side
of the bark, we understand, was somewhat
injured, but not seriously.
We learn also that the house on Noisettes
farm. near this city, YVES struck by the light
ming at about 2 o'clock, the fluid entering by
the chimney, demolishing mantle pieces, look
ing glasses, windows and a clock. room adj
joining the house was also much damaged, but
fortunately no one was injured.
We fear that the above are not the only acct
dents we shall have to record from this storm.
The rain, however, must have been beneficial to
the farmers, as we understand that notwith-
standing a considerable quantity has fallen
within the last few days in the city, our country
friends would not be disconnected were they to
have little more than they have had. [Char-
