MELANCHOLY OCcURRENcE.-It is with feelings of
sorrow, says the Rockingham (vt.) Register, we re-
cord the death of little daughter of Harris Bate
man, of this county, occurring under the following
circumstances:
His little daughter, about II years old, went in
company with younger brother, to water the COW.
While they were out some childish difficulty arose
between them, when the brother struck her in the
temple with stone. She went to the house and
communicated the fact to domestic in the family and
requested her not to tell her mother lest she might
correct the little brother She went to her room and
slept until or in the evening, and when she awoke
she was speechless. Medical aid was called in, but
all to no purpose-she soon expired.

HOMICIDE NEAR MoBILE-From the Mobile Even.
ing News, Of Wednesday, we extract the following:
We learn that man named Matloek was killed by
another man named Avery, early this morning, on
the telegraph road four miles from the city, Our in
formant says that Mr. Avery, the father of the young
man mentioned above, some time ago rented a house
and lot of Matock, and by the terms of their agree
ment has continued to occupy it ever since. On
yes erday Matlock visited Mr.. Avery, the older, and
notified him that he had sold the place. and that he
(Avery) must therefore vacate it at once.
This Mr.. Avery declined doing, urging that the
term Of his lease had not yet expired, whereupon
Matlock caught hold of him and pulled him out OF
DOORS and then abused and grossly nsued the female
members of the family. A messenger was dispatched
to the city for warrant for Matlocks arrest, and
one was issued by Squire Cleveland, but no officer
could be found willing to serve it.
This morning Matlock visited the Averys again,
and renewed the insults he had offered the day be.
FORE when young Avery took his gun in his hand and
warned him to leave Matlock, instead of leaving,
advanced, whereupon Avery fired and the contents
of one barrel were lodged in Matlocks breast. Mat
lock continued to advance. after he was wound
ed and Avery then knocked him down with the butt.
He expired soon after. Avery has since surren-
dered himself to the authorities, and is now in Jail
awaiting examination
The Avery family are reputed to be quiet and
peaceable, and the father has been cripple for
years.
Matlock, the other hand was said to be of very
quarrelsome disposition.

case the muscles became violently contracted that
all efforts to open either his hands or his mouth
ailed aud death was the consequence. The lock- jaw
was caused by Cahns giving himself what many
would call tri1ng cut. Richmond Whig, 10th.
