A Woman Out in the Head with
an Ak.

A horrible tragedy occurred in the town
Of P%etersburgh, 10 Rensselaer, county, N.
Y, about rs miles from Troy, on the 10th
Of October. A man named Hiram Coon,
q desperate character, employed by Henry
Laker, Q farmer, in q fit Of passion, seized
al Ak, and sent the weapon smashing
through the skull Of his employers wife
and into the brain, producing q mortal
wound. He had been to the village dur
ing the afternoon, and returned about the
time the family were At tea. When he
entered the house Mrs. Laker made some
remark to him, when he sngrily inquired
il she wanted q Tow with him. Mrs. L..
replied mo" and did not pursue the
conversation further. Coon turned upon
his heel and left the house. No attention
was paid to him, and no thought entered
the head Of Mr.. Laker or his wife that any
trouble would result from the conversa-
ton, although they observed Coon's an-
cry look - he passed out. It seems the
villain went directly to the wood-shed
and procured an II. Armed with this
terrible weapon, he re-entered the house,

Mr., Lsker was also at the table. and all
unconscious Of the intentions Of Coon, not
even noticing the axe which he held in
his hand, continued on in the quiet enjoy
ment Of the evening meal. In q moment
he saw the monster raise the weapon, and,
perceiving the glimmer Of the polished
steel IN the light Of the candle, leapsd upon
him and, as he supposed avertsd the blow
aimed at his wifs's head. Selling Coon,
he threw him down, dragged him to the
door, and kicked him u Of tho house.
All this while Mr.. Laksr was uncon-
scious Of his wife's fate. Turning around,
he observed that she had fallen over, and,
upon going up to her, discovered the axe
still sticking in her head, having cleft skull
and brain. producing . mortal wound.

LOVE OF OFFICE AND TITLES.

Mr.. Br;sh, made q capital hit in his
Leeds speech last month. Abiding TO
the fac. that the Derby party are now
said TO b sbou, bringing in a much more
,vs.pips Reform bill than they voted out
few months ago, he said tina, "thsre are
many parties, and among them one that is
always seeking office, and goes BY the
name Of the Bread-and-B Butter party. The
party of Lord Derby is not, after all, an
anti Reform, but Bread-and-But
party. For six months, Office, or it may
run nine or twelve. they have rejected an
homes, and good measure; they have be-
,rayed the true interests Of the people ;
and ! have seen men on the bench who
would sell the mace, which is the symbol
Of royalty, il BY 50 doing they could give
to themselves fxisy Of tenure on the Min
internal benches"
In Europe this love Of office and Of titles
Is carried openly to = degree that seems to
Us little less than insanity. and in some
eases leads to it most literally. For in
stance, there is the grand daughter o!
Loui, Philippe, who, in order to have her
husband called Emperor and herself Em-
press Of Mexico, has subjected both Of
them to priva,ions and anxissies that have
literally driven her, one OF the most fair
and graceful Of women, into downright,
insanity, and thus, perhaps, have lost &c
her husband a power that nigh, have beer
real, solid and abiding. Her whole family
affords one Of the bes, lessons Of modern
timss. Her grandfather did very much
tho sams thing before her, and died in
exile, while her father, the late King Of
Belgium, was Except in reluctantly con
ssn,ing to this Mexican arrangemenD
man of moderation. who waited for offices
and titles to seek him. and declined them
when he was not sure he was wanted to
FIJI them.
There il now no doub, that disappointed
in her hopes Of success in Mexico from
Louis Napoleon, mortified at the utter
weakness Of her Austrian relations, and
repulssd BY the aged Pope, she is under
the influences Of brain fever, mental crisis,
il no, utter insanity. Not content with
the cautious gains saved for her BY her
father, land amounting, i, is said. TO eleven
million Of dollar,,) there is really no tell
ing what she has not sacrificed for the
miserable title Of Empress. Il has been
at lsas, seriously talked Of. since the mis-
fortune, OF the Emperor of Au,,ris have
rendered him 30 unpopular that her hus-
band, Macmillan, should return to Eu-
rope a, the regsn, Of the Austrian Empire,
while his brother abdicates. But this
hishdness Of his wife will probably upset
all such prospects a. these, since sh' ra'
ever regarded a. the better hall.

It's ridiculousness from these two facss

and with . will, not expecting or seeking
any such distinction. but simply to dis

NEw YORK. Nov. 20.-The Herald,
foreign correspondence shows that the
cause of the people is steadily advancing
Notwithstanding the daily attempts Of the
moss powerful monarchies to aggregate
territory and Solidify Imperialism BY diplo-
macy.
After the war in Venetia the cheering
around the ballos-bo1es through which
her citizens completed the uni6cation Of
Italy, gave hope and courage to the Hun
garians, who, we are told. are rife for rsvo-
luton. This also s,eadies tie arms in the
hands Of the Crilan Insurgents, and ami
mates them to a renewal Of the strife,
which will reopen the dreaded Eastern
question. It moreover enables the popu-
la,ion of Rome and millions Of Italians
to bear their burdens easily, hiding their
time.
Napoleon sees and feel, his difficulties
in Rome, Mexico and the East.
We are assured that DrouynD. L'Huys
will be recalled to the Foreign office in
France-the Emperor acknowledging by
the act that the Marquis de Mousseu has
neither schooled nor disciplined himself
in the art Of s.atscraft to that degree which
