TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN DRAcUT-The Lowell
papers OF Tburslay contain accounts OF IA terrible
tragedy, which occurred about O'Clock on the
previous evening, near the Genital meeting
house in Dracut. The Courier says:
The facts, as We learn from Deighbors and
others who have since visited the scene Of the
tragedy, are as follows: Woods was tie sou Of
Nc. Benjamin Woods. II respectable citizen Of
Dracut, well known IN this city, and who resided
near the Central meeting house. The young
mans wife is the daughter of Mr. Prescott
Jones, also u respectable citizen Of the same
neighboihOod. The deceased was Is or 20
years OF age, and his wife is about -. They
were playmates from children, and an affection
sprung up between them which finally resulted
10 an engagement OF marriage. The father OF
Woods, We hear, opposed their marriage at hrst,
on account OF the youth OF his sou, but finally
consented, aud they were married last summer.
Tue couple resided together at Mr. Joues's
house until about month since, when, owing to
sOme difficulty, the nature Of which is unknown,
they separated
Last evening they attended singing school
at the center meeting house, though they did
not go there together. Two young girls were n
company with Mrs Woods on their return home
While walking along her husband joined them
and entered into conversation with her. He
urged her to 80 TO his rathers house with him,
but she refused aud he then asked her 10 let
him stop with her at her fathers house, which
she also declined to do. He used some threat
eHing words, and when near her fathers door
he seized her around the waist, aud with re-
vOlVer shot her through the body, the ball taking
effect near the pit Of the stomach trRyersing the
| liver in its course, and coming out on the op-
poste side. He fred another shot at her which
! did not take effect. He then left her, and after
