Love, MURDER AND SUICIDE, ALMOST -
"lhe course Oftrue love never runs smooth
We have just learned Of a singular and al
most tragical affair which took place on
Sunday last, at South Prarievi.le, about
three miles south of this village. a Ger
man made an attempt to murder country
woman of his, and them destroyed his own
life. 1t appears that the man brought the
woman from Germany, or betrayed her ex-
penses over, under promise that she would
become his wife, But once here. She refus-
ed to fulfill her part of the contract, and
gave her admiring swain the sack. This
drove him to desperation he waylaid her,
and with rope tied her to a tree, and 'er-
ociously attacked her with knife, inflicting
several deep wounds on her face, both sides
OF her neck and hands She finally extrica-
ted herself from the rope. and succeeded in
escaping to George Barney's residence,
where she tainted, overcome with terror
and loss of blood. In the meantime the
man was trying the virtue of cold bath in
stream near by, into which he had plum,
ed with the intention Of drowning himself,
but, finding the temperature of the water
was not very agreeable, he soon fastened
oHt again, and probably concluded to post
pone the job until warmer weather. lie is
now lodged in the county Jail, and will be
taken care of for while.
The woman is in d ngerous condition,
but hopes are enter, aimed of her recovery.

John g. Floyd. the U. S. Agent Tor the I'M.

Iss effect upon European Repubncanism.
Recent advices from Europe, state
that the entente cordiale, between the
French and English cabinets, had been

nevertheless to think, from the angry
and irritstcd tone Of the press of both
countries, that this calm is specious.
Tho i'll judged and hasty statements
and threats Of prominent Off ,crs Of the
French army, the evident hostile feel
ing Of the whole French nation and the
defiant and naughty tone assumed by
the English press, have given blow
to the relations Of amity, late existing
between the two nations, from which
they will never recover.
