lFf0m the Portland (Ne Adssrtiser, Jan. 81

From the Portland me Ad,'rti.sr, Jan. 81
Mrs. Birch, wife of Ruebin Birch,
who has been entertaining some Of our
Portland spiritlalists at the house
corner Of Middle and Franklin streets,
for some months past, BY performing
some of her wonderful spiritual tests,
received communication from the
spirits, through lady, also spiritual
medium, informing her that it was her
duty to separate from her husband,
with whom she had been living on the
most friendly terms for about FIVE
years that her husband was under the
influence of the spirit Of negro, aud
that it was not safe for her to live with
him longer. Mr.. Birch being himself
believer in spiritualism, and thinking
that it would be wrong not to be guided
by the order, coming SO directly from
the spirit land" consented tor the
present to submit to a separation, and
the wife Immediately started on a lee
ture tour in Massachusetts,. But Mr..
Birch, after few days reflection, began
to have serious doubts as to the inten-
tons Of his wife, and resolved to "up
and follow on the track" lie imme-
diately started for Boston, and after
searching diligently for some time
among the professional spirituaists, his
efforts were crowned with success by
meeting "face to face the object of his
search. But his entreates, which
we're powerful IN the extreme, for
her to return to his bosom, proved
unavaiIing.
The lady was found at the house Of
q certain Judge who resides on GER

whom she introduced to her husband ;
one of whom on being introduced, was
thrown Immediately into the STRANGE

Another Murder In Cincinnati .
From the Gazette, Jan. 81

FROM the gag site, Jan II.
The quiet of the last three or four weeks,
during which time not q murder has occur
red, was broken on Saturday night between
IL and IL o'clock. About that hour the re.
port OF pistol was heard near the foot Of
Vine street, between Pearl and Columbia,
which attracted the attention Of sew eral per-
sons in the neigborhood, who run to the
spot, and found q man lying upon the side
walk, weltering in blood. He was remov
ed to an adjoining drug store. where he died
In few minutes
While the crowd was standing about,
O young co!ored man named William Beck
ley came up who admitted that he had
been with the deceased. during the vening
yet he did not know his name or residence
but stated that he was shot from the Oppo-
side Of the street, while they were walking
together Beckleys story was go lmprob-
able that he was taken into custody and
conveyed to the Pearl street Station, where
by direction of one of the watchmen, he
was permitted to remain in the room with
out being locked up. While the attendant
was waiting upon some of the prisoners in
the cells. Becky made a spring for the
door and escaped. lie wa subsequently
morning, and placed in confinement. a
pistol which was found upon the opposite
aide of the street from the murdered man

ployed in the confectionery store corner Of
Elm and Fifth streets. but has recently

orally known amongst his acquaintance
! by the name OF" Dick" lie was apparent
ly about twenty six years of age.
| From what can be gathered from the

was the cause Of the murder, although we
do not learn that she was implicated. Ru
NOR states that both the deceased and Beck

the probability is, that that the latter un
dertook to rid himself of rival by taking

Coroner Carey held an inquest, and ties
timony was introduced to show that Beck
ley and the deceased had been together
most of the afternoon and evening, and had
visited saloons. eating oysters and drinking
