from the Jehersonville Advocate that a
man by the name Of Sanders was killed in
New Garden, Russell county, on the 18th
ult., by the wife Of his own son. 1t ap-
pears that there was a general row among
the two families, and amid the fight Mrs.
Martin Sanders gave the father of her
husband several severe cuts with wea-
pom Of some kind, which put an end to
his life. After being buried for several
days, it was suspected that he had been
murdered The body was disintcrred,
and an inquest held, which resulted in a
verdict that he came to his death by
wounds inflicted by Mrs. Sanders. She
has Teen arrested, and is now confined in
the Jail of Russell.

FIRE IN EDENTON, ". IA large
fire occurred in Edenton on Tuesday
night last. A little after o'clock on
that evening a negro woman emptied a
scuttlc Of ashes near the kitchen of Ed
mond Wright, ESQ, Collector, which,
owing to high wind blowing at that
time, were famed into q fame and set
fire to the kitchen. The flames then
communicated to the Collectors office
and thence spread rapidly until about
80 dwellings and outhouscs were con-
stunned. The property destroyed was in
the heart Of the business part of the town
and the loss is estimated at about :S40,-
600, on which there was between 9 and
$4,000 insured. The principal suffer
ers we're Mcssrs. S. It. Bond y Son, DO
insurance; w. c. Wood, insured for

Sawyer, Bro. & Co., fully insured; heirs
of Alex Cheshire. two dwellings not in
sured; Vim. Badham, one dwelling;
Warner House, owned by Bockover &
Hathaway, no insurance. Two houses
were blown up with gunpowder in order
to stop the flames. the heat was SO in
tense that the fire was communicated
across q wide street There seems to
have been but little concert Of action, as
each man had to stay at his own premi-
ses to protect them from danger, and the
fire engines were Of little OF no account.
