B6g The Hon. EDWARD A. HANNEGAN died
Oh the 25th inst, at st. Louis He was a
United States Senator from Indiana, from
1913 to l849, and was then sent by President
Polk as Minister to Prussia, where his unfor-
tunate habits inflicted great discredit on the
country. Mr. Il. was of Irish origin, an elo
quent, mpulsve, warm-hearted man, whose
single failing, though sad one, was counter
balanced by many generous qualities. A
brother-u-law fell victim to his fury in a
drunken quarrel some four or five years ago,
and his life. as q whole, might serve better to
point a morap than to "adorn a tale p
His age must have been from So to so.

Horrible Murder In Orange.

One Of the most shocking eases of homicide
saws the Newark Daily Advertiser, which has
ever been committed in this vicinity, occurred
on Thursday, in OraDge-a mother having de
liberately killed her own child, four years o.
age, by nearly severing its head from it body
The child was the son Of Mary Ann and 10
seph Brown, and with its mother, who had
separated from her husband, was an inmate o.
the township Poor House. located at South
Orange. At about 8 o'clock, on Thursday
morning, the mother wus-seon to take case
knife and leave the house, followed by her boy
and both entered the privy. A few minutes
after, little girl who was playing in the yard
went into the same place. and almost immedl
ately rushed out and told German, also al
work in the yard, that " Johnny was dead. :
The body was discovered witt. the head hang
ing down through enc of the openings, and the
knife with which the bloody deed was commit
ted, was found near the spot.
An investigation luto the case was made by
Coroner Mum, and jury, who after receiving
the testimony, rendered verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death by wound in the
throat from the hands OF his mother In &C
cordance with this verdict, she was committed
70 the county Jail.
The woman acknowledged that she killed
the child, and gave as reason that she
thought it was to be taken away from her.and
adopted by the OYerseer of the Poor in New
ark. She says she thought FIRST to kill the
child and then herself, aad alleges that her
husband is the cause # all her trouble, having
turned her out of doors, aud left her to take
care of herself. After leaving her home she
cane TO Newark, and being pauper, was re;
turned To Orange about month siace sFrom
