We learn from Captain Hollcroft, of
the RainboD, that one day last week.
about six miles back of Leavenwortb,
Indiana, oman attempted to kill her
husband and Oh The next day did kih
herself. '..l
The circumstances are thus: Mrs.
Bruce the woman alluded 10, durinS
harvesting, and after her sons and the
farm hands started to work, commenced
cutting her husbands hair at her own
request, She had cut about half way
around, when she drew hatchet from
beneath her apron and cut away at his
head, ,manGling him 10 horrible man,
ner. His cries caited back the men.
when his wife was removed and fastens
ed up with the intention Of having hst
arrested.-Mr. Bruce was not osad at
last accounts. On the next day My.
Bruce lay down on the bed, and tyiEp a
handkerchief around her neck ana tn The
bed post threw heiself off. and SO died.
She gave as a reason fof attem ptiug
to kill her husband. that they had con.
siderable property; that she did not ex.
pect to live long and was idetermiued
that no other woman should enjoy il lft
marrying her husbaud' SHE must have
