MURDER OF A YOUNG WIFE AND
SUICIDE OF THE HUSBAND.

We copy from the Memphis Wzig, of
the 9th inst, the following narrative of a
most horrible tragedy:
"We heard on yesterday the particu-
lars of one of the most melancholy trag-
edies We have known for many years,
which occurred in Marshall county,
Miss, about IL miles from Holly Springs,
on Wednesday last. Mr.. R. R. Cox, a
planter in good circumstances, killed his
own wife while she was lying asleep in
her bed, and then shot himself through
the head, killing himself instantly. This
occurred sometime during the night, but
was not known until the next morning,
when negro man went to the room to
make FIRE and found the door fastened.
Not being able to raise any one on the
inside, the negro man called for the over
seer, who came and forced the door
open, when he found both Mr.. aid Mrs.
Cox dead, she lying on the bed with two
bullets through her head, and he lying
on the hearth, shot through the region of
the heart, with his hand still grasping
the deadly revolver. They had been
married but a short time, and it is sup
posed that Mr.. Cox was insane at the
time, as he has frequently suffered from
alteration of the mind.

A STRANGE CAREER.

The Times of Thursday announces the
death, in the New York Hospital, of
Lieut. Hunter, and that paper gives a
sketch of his life. Hunter graduated at
West Point, with distinguished honors,
entered the navy. and soon took rank rs
passed midshipman. At Philadelphia,
while gazing from his hotel window
beautiful face at an opposite window
attracted his attention, and he attempted
"too persistently'' to get the lady's at
tention. For this offence, Mr.. Miller,
brother-in-law of the lady, challenged
Hunter, and as the former was ''dead
shot," able to snuff candle at ten PAGES,
the fall of the latter was considered GER
tain. They met, and Miller fell dead
at the first FIRE. Gen. Jackson then
(1830) dismissed Hunter from the SER
vice, and he fed from the law, seeking
refuge after while in. the house of Mrs.
Grifiths, New Jersey, where he uooed
and won her daughter. When excite
ment had subsided, Hunter had per-
sonal interview with President Jackson,
which resulted in his restoration to rank
in the navy, with his back pay. After
serving in the Mediterranean, he returned,
and on the breaking out of the Mexican
war he was put in command ofthe Scourgs
and ordered to go TO Alvarado, and
watch proceedings there. He arrived
off Alvarado in the night, which was

TRANSPORTATION OF FIGURES
THE FIGURE NINE.

We take the following from the BOs-
ton Courier. 1t is an arithmetical curl
osity, interesting for the general reader
and important to accountants:
The numeral nine has a certain pecu-
liar property, knowledge of which will
be ofimportance to accountants and cash.
keepers. 1t is this: When an error has
arisen from any transposition of figures,
the difference between such transposed
number of figures is uniformly null
tiple of the numeral nine. For instance,
suppose an error occurs in bringing out
a trial balance or cash settlement of the
amount in question, or that the sum
short or over can be divided sby nine
without any remainder, there is strong
probability that the mistake has been
made by transposing figures, at any
rate, if such mistake takes place by rea-
son Of transportation, the sum in ques-
ton will divide by nine without remain
der. To illustrate this further: If 81
has been put down 70, the error will be
l8. or twice 9 exactly; if 322 be set down
223, the error will be SO. or eleven times
8, and SO on between any transposed
number. This class Of errors is very

JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY AND
= PATENT DEMOCRACY.

Hon. Mr.. Galloway has been to New
Hampshire, and the way he has stirred
up the modern Democrats is amusing.
The Journal. published at Portsmouth,
N. H., says he described the difference
between the Democracy of Thomas JEFF
ferson, and that Of a modern Democrtic
editor in the following style:
The SILK STOCKING SToRE.-Hon. Mr..
Galloway, in his address at Jefferson
Hall on Friday evening last, placed the
Jefersonian Democracy of our friend of
the Gazette in Winnowing mill, and af-
ter little shaking it was found to be all
chaf and no grain. "Had 1 the power
to bring up Jefferson from the grave

of the Gazette to him, he would say II

kept for special dress occasions only
Every Sunday morning he would open
his chamber door and slowly say-"Sis-
ter Martha, will you hand me my silk
stockings ?" They always came, as
Sunday after Sunday, for year after
year, he continued the call -" Sister
Martha, will youhand me my silk stock
ings ?" In process of time, however,
the watchful sister found a rent here
which she mended with linen-and an
other time rent there, which was
mended with cotton-then another which
was filed with worsted = thus going
round, till not thread of the original
material was left-but still as Sunday
morning came. he would as regularly call

BALAAM's Ass.-The tools Of the
present administration, in their subseryi-
ency to party, take 8 less honorable po-
sition, than the beast on which Balaam
rode. That animal when his master
drove him into position in which it was
more honorable to take a back track,
would proceed no further, but turning
up his head demonstrated. I" Am not
thine ass on which thou hast ridden ever
since 1 was thine, unto this day? Was
1 ever wont to be disobedient ?" And at
the sight of the drawn sword, Balaam was
quieted.
But how is it with the tools Of the
President on which he is endeavoring
again to ride into the Presidency The
beast sees the angel of liberty with drawn
sword standing in the broad territory Of
the west. and looking up to their driver
the obedient herd cry out "Ars lrs
not thine asses on which thou hast ridden
ever since we were thine, even unto this
day? Have we ever been disobedient
to thee, or will we ever be ?" And so
they rush headlong against the angel in
the way-so devoted are they to the
crib from which they are fed, that stern
justice and bleeding humanity threaten
or appeal in vain. They rush on 10 the
conflict brsying still-"Ars zoe not thine

Nessrs. Edito,s The House yester-

on the first Monday in January next. In
this matter there seemed to be but two
ways, one was to remain here till June

dition in which the Republican party
found the affairs of the State, rendered

sary. Already have the committees on

investigations than was contemplated,
and the further they extend their re-

presents itself; first, would it be better
for the Legislature to leave these matters
at "loose ends" as it found them; or,
second, continue in session until these
subjects, and others of great Importance,

committee to examine all these matters
during the adjournment, and report at
the commencement of the adjourned ses- /
sion. The Legislature has decided ac-
cording to its own judgment, and it re-

sanction that decision or not There are

LApYIN GREY SILK.


The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, in refer
ring 10 the fact that the Hon. James
Quiggle, formerly member of the Penn
sylVania Senate from Clinton and Centre
fcounties, had taken up his residence in
fhe Quaker City, relates the following
amusing anecdote:
Some years since, on the road from
Lancaster to Philadelphia, on a blazing
hot summer day, Judge Jim Pollock,
(your present Governor, Hon. Jim
Quiggle, (lhen plain Lawyer Quiggle, J
and your correspondent, who knew the
former well, but not the latter, were
alone in the rearmost car of the train
Jim Pollock was looking out of the car
window, at place where the train
stopped to water, when suddenly he
drew his white handkerchief from his
pocket and began vigorously waving it
in the air, at the same time bobbing his
head out of the window in very vigor-
Gus manner.
"What are you about, Judge?" asked
Mr.. B., without rising from his seat.
"Why, dOn'ty you see yonder? There's
lady waving a white handkerchief, and
I'm returning the salute-sOme acquain-
lance l made formerly, suppose"
Judge P. ceased, but in few moments
he again looked out and resumed the
operation with his cambria.
"Who is she, judge?" asked Mr.. O., as
he lounged in one corner of the car, with
his neither extremities curled up like a
gigantic capital 2.
"Well, the fact is, 1 don't exactly
know; I'm quite near sighted, and can't
recognize her; but she is dressed in grey
silk, and stands yonder. under big ma
pie tree, near my friend John b. house."
By-and-by the locomotive gave
snort, and the train began to move
Judge Pollock again firted his cambria
to the lady in a final salute, and this
time Jim Quiggle thought he would have
peep at her. So he crossed over to the
Judge, and poking out his head, took
view, but didn't see the lady. Never
theless, the Judge kept on waving his.
handkerchief, the perspiration rolling
down his, face with the effort.
"Where is she?" don't see anybody"
said Mr.. O., after scanning the landscape,
without observing any female.
"There, was the petulent reply. ;..''don't
you see that lady in the grey silk dress,
standing under that maple tree, waving
a white hankerchief?"
There was suppressed snorting
sound. and Jim Quiggle rolled over on
the seat, red in the face as boiled lob.
ster, while your correspondent picked
him up in state of verulent paroxysm Of
laughter, and laid him out upon a seat.
After sacrificing all the buttons on his
vest and Wristbands, he explained to
the Judge the occasion of the cachinna-
tory spasm. The Judge had been e1-
changing salutes for twenty minutes
with an iron-grey mare, whose long
white tail as it tapped away the flies,
had been taken by him for white hand
kerchief, waved by lady in a grey
silk dresl The Judge didn't swear, but
he changed the subject to saw-mills,
the only portion ofwhich was ineligible
being the frequent repetition of the word
"dam."

dyke, and half the fashionable world in
town to assist and sympathise, made up
s. scene of interest this morning which
has seldom been witnessed in the Chapel
Rcysl at Whitehall. Outside there was
an army of carriages such as one only
sees at some great aristocratic assembly,
and crowd of sight who required
strong police force to preserve an un-
obstructed ingress for the vehicles
Within the chapel was well-dressed
sssemblage, who took possession of tie
galleries, while the body of the chapel
was reserved for the friends of the par
ties.
When one considers how intimately
allied The two great names of Yelling
ton and Peel are in the memories of Eng
lishnen, it must be considered somewhat
remarkable that the heirs and represen-
tatives of the great captain and the great
statesman should marry two sisters The
Marquis of Tweeddale, who this morning
gave away his daughter at the altar to
Sir Robert Peel, not many years ago,
gave a dutchess to the great house of
Wellington. The Duke and the Duchess
of Wellington were among the early ar
rivals this morning at the Chapel Royal,
her Grace superbly attired in white
dress with deep violet hounces, and one
of those princely Indian Shawls, with
green ground and gold border, seldom
seen and still less seldom worn, in
which attire the handsome Duchess
moyed avery queen of beauty. Among
the friends and relatives of the family
who stood around the altar were Lady
Peel, General Peel, M. P, Yiscount Pol
