Tue WASHINGTON County MuKDER.-Arr est
Of Mrs. Waite on susp;ieion.-NYe were inform
cd by a gentleman who arrived in the city on
Saturday morning that Mrs. White, wife of the
late Samuel H. White, who was SO brutally
murdered short time since, in the vicinity of
Washington, was arrested ON Friday and COM
mitrcd on suspicion of hnying perpetrnted the
inhuman decd. This is nothing more than we
expected, and what We predicted from the first;
our wonder has been that suspicion should not
have rested on her from the start, because the
circumstances seemed to point her out as the
most probable person. The more than remark
able condolences of her being fully dressed at
that early hour,-Of having left her husband
just in the nick of time,-of there being no tra-
ces of blood on the drawers where the money
was sccreted,- tlie children not awakened by the
entrance of the murderers,-all these taken to-
gcther make fearfnlly suspicious case against
her. But we earnestly hope that some clue, or
some favorable circumstances will yet establish
the innocence of the unfortunate woman.

A TRUE AND TOUCHING Incl
DENT '@s

The Glasgow Christian News gives
the following as mo fiction, but the
plain TRUTH
A young man and bis wife were
preparing to attend a Christ mas party
at the house Of friend some miles
dis, ant. Henry, my dear husband, !,
don't drink too much at the party to-.
day; you willpromise me, won't OUT
said she, putting her hand upon his
brow, and raising her eyes to his face
with pleading smile No, Mile,
will not; you may trust me- And
he wrapped his infant boy in soft
blanket, and they descended. The
horses were soon prancing over the
turf, and pleasant conversation be-,
guiled the way. Now don't forget
your PROMISE whispered the Young
wife as she passed up the ateps. Poor
thing! she was the wifs Of man who
loved to look upon the wine when
red.
The party passed off pleasantly; the
time for departing drew near, and the
wife descended from the upper cham
Der to join her husband. A PAN,
shot through het>trusting heart as she
met him, Tor he was intoxicated-he
had broken his PROMISE. Silently
they rode homeward, save when the
drunken man broke into snatches of
song or unmeaning laughter. But
the vile rode on, her babe closely
pressed to her grieved heart. Give
me the baby, Mile; can't trust you
with him. said he as they approached
dark and swollen stream. After
some hesitation she resigned her first
born, her darling babe, closely wrap.
ped in a great blanket, to his arms.
Over the dark waters the noble
: steed safely bore them, and when they
reached the bank the mother asked
fsr her child. With much care and
tenderness he placed the bu ndle in
her arms but when she .iasped it to
her bosom, no babe aoas there! 1t had
slipp,l from the blanket, and the
drunken father knew it not, A wild
shrivk from the mother arorsed him,
and he turned around just in time to
see the littl, rosy facs rise one mo
ment above the dark waters, then sink
forever. What a spectaclei The idol
Of his heart gone-gone lorever--and
that by his own intemperance. fhe
anguish of the mother, the remorse
Of the father, are better imagined than
described.
