Domestic TRAGEDY ~ NBw ORLBAss.-A ter
Orleans a few days ago, the last act Of which
was the killing of wife by her husband
The Crescent gives the subloined account
of it:
Michel Richet, Frenchman. soma time
since enlisted i'll Col. Ayegno's battalion OF
Zouavee, and went into camp over at Mande-
willie. His Wifi, good looking woman aged
about IS years, and a daughter of about Ia
years, remained at home, supporting them
selves by washing and ironing They were
industrious and quiet people, and among
their neighbors bore a good character They
rented a room on IRENE street, between ST
Peter and Orleans streets and worked in the
yard of the premises.
Richet came over TO the city with his bat
TALON, and getting leave of absence went on
general burst For reasons best known to
himself, he became jealous Of his wife and
accused her of being too intimate with lodS.
er in one Of the rooms on the premises She
Indignantly denied the charge-they had 4
serious misunderstanding, aud he left her
room and went into the street, where he soon
saw the man of whom he was Jealous. I'm
mediately Richet began quarrelllng with
him, and they were about TO come to blows
when Madame Richet cane out and attem pt.
ed TO persuade her husband to come into the
house again. He turned furiously upon her
and drawing from his pocket 4 dirk knife
with blade about three inches in length
stabbed her in the lower part of the abdo-
men, near the groin. AS soon AS she per
ceived that she was stabbed she retired into
her room, exclaiming that she was killed. and
In about i've minutes expired.
Richet fled towards the place d'Armes
where his company was camped, hoping to
take refuge with them and evado arrest: but
the police overlook him, and he is now safe
under lock and key in the IRENE station
His chances for rope are very strong. We
saw the body of the murdered woman a half
hour after her death, in the room lately occu-
pied by herself and daughter, where it was
large crowd Of sympathixing neishbors
We're present, and judging from their sup
pressed ordinations and excited looks. the
murderer would have had a short shrift and

the Masonic Order of Ohio, Kentucky and In

States to meet at Louisville on the third Mon

and that is, the recognition of the Confeder-
ate States of America. distinguished ci ii

terms upon which any considerable portion
of the now Confederate States would consent

into that Temple where we may still meet as
free and accepted Masons. The Grand
Lodges of the United States are hencetorth to
us Just what the Grand Lodges of England
and Holland are nor can we, as Masons too
much congratulate ourselves that our rela-
tons TO tie former are not complicated by the
existence of any general jurisdiction, such as
has been some times proposed under the form
of Grand Lodge of all the States. We feel ali
the horrors OF war as sensibly as our Northern
brethren, and as all Masons are led by their
principles to Go. But believing that our coun-

at this time be regarded as a movement to
