Desperate ARRAY Between n Man and
WIfe-Both PARTIES Family Hnlarcd. I

On Sunday morning last, at New Bedford,
Mass, a man named Joseph Williams and
his wife, who have not lived together for
some time, got into a fight, and inflicted
wounds upon each others heads which will
most likely prove fatal. Williams skull was
severely gashed on the top, in twelve places,
while the woman was still more dangerously
wounded, pieces of her skull being entirely
cut out, and on one side broken in. VIII
liaIns states that at the time the assaults were
committed, he called at the place where she
was staying and they went to an adjacent
shop together to obtain kindlihgs. He was
collecting these for her, STOPPING down, when
she seized the hatchet--a heavy, murderous-
looking instrument-and struck him several
blows on the back of the head. He fell, and
she struck him three times while he was
down; after which he became insensible, and
upon arousing from this state caught the
hatehett and struck her three blows each
causing q ghastly wound from which the
| brains protruded Despite Of their terrible
wounds, each Of the parties walked home, a
distance of about square;-but at late ac-
counts no hope was entertained of their
recovery ea lnsng ~ lilAll ~. ~. z

JOURNALISTIC JEwELs.-0ur evening CO.
temporary, The Cincinnati Times, is gen.
orally regarded by our citizens as a jest and
its most serious efforts are often quite as
humorous as Vanity Fair or Punch. We
herewith reproduce a few gems from its last
issue, hoping, however, that our journalistic
brethren at distance will not take them as
the best samples of the kind to be found daily
in its columns, or regard it as the standardby
which to judge of newspaper excellence. The
sublime hight it has attained may never be
reached again. As model of clear, con-
else, and elegantstyleof English composition
we commend our contemporary to allwh have
heretofore been students of De Quincy, feel
ing assured they will find in it not only all
his beauties but all his faults.
From a single casket we select for our
readers the following jewels, and challenge
the newspaper world, the most rural of the
rural press not excepted, to produce their
equal in brillancy:
"The beautyand intellectual seeming of the
young ladies of the College themselves COM
prise no indifferent feature in the attractive
fascination which permeates the Lyceum en-
tertainments. And the audience is ever of a
nobler character. ~ m

"The Wesleyan Female College is regarded

"The chorusses and selections from the
operas of William Tell, Lucia di Lammer-
moor, Tampa, and Trovotore, under the lead
ership of Prof. Smith, by the Lyceum Glee
Club, assisted by a number of gentlemen
amateurs. were rendered with the spirit of
truth and understanding. The solo in the
passage from TroVotore, (Miserere,) by Miss
Priscilla Forgey, of. Cincinnati, awakened
mods of appreciation and recognition from the
lovers of operate music and the frequenters
of the opera throughout the room. This
high compliment was in every way deserved.
We would gladly amplify, and speak more
in detail; as for instance, of the passage in
the opera of Tampa:
Darkness now reineth, Sleep all enchaineth Bliss

QUESTIONS AWAITING ANSWERS.

For q number of weeks past, the N. Y. Indepen
dent has been repeating n series of eight question:
to the N. y. Observer, with an offer Of twenty fvt
dollars each, for a direct categorical answer "tc
them, or to any one or more of them, making 500
for answers to all of them, the money to be paid t.
the American Board of Foreign Missions" Thu
far, we believe, no answer has been given. Tn
N. T. Observer is silent. The questions and ofe
are as follows:
81. Is it wrong to sell human beings, g%uiltlesi
Of crime2
2. Is it wrong to hold human beings as proper
ty, subject to be bought and sOld2
3. Is it wrong to separate BY force or law, hus
bands and wives, parents and children, wher
neither crime. nor vice. nor insanity, in either
of the parties calls for such separation
4. Have slaves an equal right with other per.
sons to marry according to their Own choice, and
should such marriage, when contracted, be held
sacred and inviolablei
5. Has the slave woman q right to her chsst
ity, and is the master who violates that chastity
guilty of a crime?
6. Have slaves a right to read the Bible, and
is it a crime to forbid them to be taught to
read?
7. Is the system Of slavery as it exists in the
Southern States a blessing to the country, which
should be cherished and perpetuated by national
legislation?
8. Is the system of slavery as by law establish
ed liz the Southern states morally right?
Each of these questions admits Of q direct cate
gorical answer. If the Observer will transfer
these questions to its columns, and answer each O.
them by a simple Yes or No, than for each and ev
cry explicit ansDer we will pay over to A. Merwin
Esq for the American Board, twenty Eve dol

sLAvEHoLDING IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The Rev. John Miller, Of Lexington, Rockbridge
Princeton, N. j., brought to Philadelphia a slave
woman to wait upon his wife as child's nurse
The woman was Mr.. Miller's property, having
come into his possession by the right Of his wife
who by the way, is a daughter of the late Gov.
Mcdowell Of Virginia, and formerly the wife OF
the eccentric Gov. Thomas Of Maryland, from
whom she was divorced. Mr.. Miller brought the
woman to Philadelphia as his slave, and held her
there as such, contrary to the laws Of Pennsyl-
vania. She, being an intelligent person, though
uneducated, soon learned that her master held her
without Just authority; that by the law she was at
liberty to 90 at large, and work for wages, and
she was not long in awaiting herself OF her privile-
ges. She took leave of her Reverend owner on
the evening Of the 23d ult., and sought a roof
where her rights would be respected aud her ser
vices rewarded.
We understand that Mr. Miller is going about
anong bis friends and others 10 Philadelphia be.
moaning the step taken by Jenny (Jenny Buchan-
an lie her aameI sad protesting tina, his sole con-
.eern is on her account. To be sure, he Gays she
was worth 81 200 in Virginia, but that is not the
aspect Of the case that troubles him; it is her inter-
este, not his, that lie like o burden upon his
spirit.
Jenny, however, takes quite a different View Of
the matter. She is as happy as a bird in her new
ly-acquirsd liberty. with the only exception that
now and then she fears her q~uondam Opfer may
some hoE or other get bis rsverhed clutches On

ner' That thought appals her; she would put up
WIN anything, or, in her own phrase, she would
rather be shot" than 20 back and be his slave
again. Her old master and mistress we're very
KIND to Jenny and the rest Of the servan,s, and al
lowed them many privileges, but Mr.. Miller, into
whose bands she and they fell, had taken thoir
privileges all away. They could not now have
their chickens and pigs, as in the days Of their ole
masters ;heir work was harder and their privile
gcs fewer, and, MS a consequence they all detesteG
their new master most cordially.
We are not aware that our friends 10 Philadel
phia intend taking any Steps toward bringing thi:
Rovorned offender against their laws to justice
but we are very sure that if a Pennsylvania in
Virginia were even to speak against r law Of thai
Commonwealth on the subject OF slavery, to say
nothing at all Of au overt violation Of it, be would
very soon DO waited upon by q Vigilance Com.
mittee and summarily dealt With. But Philsdel
pbiO people don't believe in mob justice, nor in
retaliatory measures even when sanctioned By
law. They will be content, when they hear thai
the woman is safe, to let tho Reverned culpit slide
eve must not expect too much" they will say,
from a man bred under the influence Of Prince,
ton divinity, and whose ministerial conduct OF
the subject of slavery has the sanction of a bod
so respectable as that OF the Old School Presby.
terian Church." Perhaps they ore right; and hav.
ing put the facts Of the case in a fair way of re-
ceiVing a proper airing in the newspapers, we are
prepared to acquiesce in their Judgement
a. s.. Standard.

neglected on important duty, and without a strug-
