that has been raised in The country this

" exaggerated. The National Intelligent
Ger says, 'we are fully pursuadcd that
there is much more apprehension express

There has been more than an average crop

, The Way Of TranSgressors.

One Of those shameful affairs. which occa.
aionally disgrace every city, has lately reach.
ed a trasical result in St. Louis. Itappears
that German, named Hoffman. the son Of
somewhat celebrated popular leader in
Germany, had been living in the same house
with Mr.. Baker and his wife, whom he az
forwards left under circumstances which Gre
aied suspicious Of improper intimacy with
Bakers wife, who, with her husband, formed
a plot 10 entice Hoffman into her ROOM when
she fired two pistols at him, but without ef.
feet. n. sr.u ,"1'1's
Baker then followed him with number
Of accomplices, forced him back to his room
had him striped, tied to bed-post, whipped
him till bis back was lacerated and covered
with blood, then inflicted the outrage of
manning him, and left him in fainting
state, to the care Of the physicians.
For this outrage, Baker and his wife were
arrested, and bound over for trial. Hoffman
in the mean time SO far recovered as 10 be
out, when Mrs. Baker meeting HIM on Fourth
street, one Of the principal promenades Of
the city, drew pistol, on which he relreated
into a dry goods store, she pursuing him, and
there, while twenty ladies were in the store
she fired a, him twice the las, time infic,ing
aserious wound, Of which he died, after lin
eering week in great agony, at the Sisters
Hospital. 5rt az }c
Hoffman was connected with the "Anze.
ger" a German infdel print Of this city
His death was the natural termination Of the
life he led. Thus il is, tina, "lust, when it
hath conceived, bringe,h forth sin and Sin,
when it is finished, briugeth forth DEATH
Mrs. Baker will be indicted for murder and
thus will end another career Of iniquity.-
Her husband is in Jail with her holden to an
swerfor his wicked outrage on the miserable
Hoffman. Truly, "the way Of lransgrssors
is hard.n-St. louis Katehman.
