Extraordinary Crime and Suicide of a
Woman.

From the watertown New York Journal.
A most melancholy affair occurred in the
vicinity of Redwood week before last. The
wife of one of the most respectable and
wealthy farmers of that locality was caught
in the act of stealing goods from McAlls
ter's store, Redwood, and on investigation
it was found that from long system of
thievipg the woman had accumulated fair
sized stock for country store. She inven.
toried among her captures, it was said,
whole pieces of silk and cotton goods, a
number of shawls, sixteen hoopskirts, half
bushel of spool thread, peck of pins, bon
nets, shoes. and in fact, every thing which
comes within the category of woman's
needs. 1t was found that the woman had
been pursuing her occupation for ten years,
and, in the meantime, was an active, zeal-
GUS and respected member of the church.
When the poor unfortunate woman heard
that the officers bad come to ferret out her
transgressions, she took dose of corrosive
sublimate, and thus ended her life of virtues
and crimes. No members of her family
we're accused of being principals or in hav-
ing any knowledge of her acts of theft. She
had 10 her dress long pocket, which pass.
ed through and under her hoops, and be re
she was enabled to deposit, without detec.
ton, all Der long line of robberies. This
misIed woman was the wife OF Jonathan
Haykes.

From the Davenport Gazette, August list.
Through Southern Iowa and Northern
Missouri affairs have a gloomy look. Jay,
hawkers abound, and robbery and plumber
furnish employment to a numoer of gangs
of men. In Southern Iowa there is great
amount of latent secessionism, encouraged
by few per6dious presses in that section.
At war meeting held at Rome, Jeffer-
son county, on Saturday last, for the pur.
pose of obtaining recruits, the speaker was
frequently interrupted by a mob, who finally
gave him notice to leave the town in two
hours, or they would hang him. He did 60,
going back to Fort Madison, reported mat.
tiers to the recruiting officer at that point,
who sent force of twenty men to Rome,
and two prominent citizens of the town
were arrested and brought to Fort Madison,
where they are at present confined. Our
informant was at Rome at the time of the
occurrence.
Through Davis and Appanoose counties,
and the neighboring portions of Iowa and
Missouri, jayhawking bands are constantly
prowling about. They 60 from place to
place stealing horses and other property
and selling them, only to be claimed by a
second gang as their property, who dispose
of them in the same manner and are SINH
larly followed. People suspect each other
of being implicated in the robberies, and
and mutual distrust and rancor prevails in
the neighborhoods and communities. 1t
might be we'll if we had some State troops
to guard our Southern borders and drive of
the marauding gangs from Missouri, and
suppress and punish those of our own State

Ex-Governor Robert NJ. Stewart, of M

Ex-Governor Robert NJ. Stewart, of Mis-
souri, is out openly for emancipation in that
State. In speech made by him at Roch-
ester, Missouri, on the 18th ult., be advoca.
ted emancipation with great force and eIo-
quence, and received the endorsement of all
who heard him. He said he was no aboli-
tionist--he favored the policy on purely
financial grounds, and be be ieved it was
the only way to save Missouri from irretriev.
able ruin. He hoped, for the good of our
country, that every voter would calmly and
consistently view this subject, and give it
that rational consideration Of which just and
economical principles are always deserving.
