ARREST OF AN INDIANA WIFE-P o1soNER-On the
Goth, at Windsor, Michigan, a man named Jonathan
S Owen was arrested on a charge of poisoning bis
wife in Montgomery county, Indiana Owen had
long been considered a very exemplary member Of
the Methodist church. and his crime excited the won
der and surprise of the community in which he re.
sided. It is said to be his third attempt to kill his
wife by poison After the preparation of his crime
he fed to the North leaving orders with his son to
sell his farm, valued at $G0OO and forward him the
proceeds. He was pursued and arrested at Windsor
The Detroit Advertiser says:
As soon as his eyes fell upon the sheriff. who was
neighnar and acquaintance, his knees shook aud the
perspiraton started out in large drops all over him
His agitation was painful to behold.
He is a large man, yonng.looking for his years and
has few Of the appearances usually ascribed to
" Bluebeards.n As our Indiana neig6bors have few
scruples on the question Of capital punishment be
will doubtless expate his crimes upon the gallows.
Like most affairs of the kind there is a woman at
the bottom Of it. Developments have been made
since the flight of Owen which show improper init
macies with young woman of the neighborhood,
and which may furnish clue to his conduct.

A STRANGE AFFAIR-A Mrs. Sanborn had her
skull fractured at Dixon, ILL.,, by falling backward
down the flight Of stairs to Wagner's GROCERY The
women of the place had bought Wagners stock to
destroy it, on his agreement quit the business and
she was helping to remove it when one of the casks
rolled backward, and catching one of her hoops,
carried her with it to the bottom of the stairs. It
turned out after ALL that Wagner cheated the women
by filing the casks with colored water and keeping
his liquor for his customers.

TIE SLAVE TRADE.

The New York Herald, of the % inst in the
course Of some remarks on the slave trade says
cit is notorious to all who are at all Informed
upon the subject that the slave trade has existed in
this country for years past that il was and is car
ried on chiefly by northern citizens of the United
States; that northern capitalists have invested more
extensively in it than the citizens of any other Dor
ton of the Union, and consequently are more deeply
interested in its maintenance and success. The
vessels which have been employed in the transpcrta
ton Of slaves have been fitted out mainly in New
York, Boston, Portland and Bristol but Of these New
Yorkis the favorite point for the operations of the
dealers.
Within the last twenty years ever fifty slavers
were captured and brought into this port nearly all
Of which were equipped and fitted out with northern
capital. The number Of vessels captured and con-
demned, however bears but a very small proportion
to the number fitted cut from the ports we have
named The slave feet which leaves New York,
Boston and other seaports in the course of
single year consists Of about forty vessels Of vari
Gus sizes, ranging from one hundred to five hundred
tons, and capable Of carrying from four hundred to
six hundred slaves each. Every SLAYER is manned
by crews Of from fifteen to twenty-five men, nclud-
ing the captain and officers, making total for the
whole feet Of about thousand men. The whole of
the capital invested does not probably exceed four
millions Of dollars, upon which a profit Of some
thing like eleven millions is realized.
