the testimony elected no further facts
than we published yesterday. Mrs.
Nugent says she left Marietta for the ex-
press purpose of coming to Wheeling to
kill herself and child, as her husband
was always drunk and her own family
extended to her not the least sympa-
thy. She stabbed the child three times,
twice through the heart, killing it al
most instantly, and then sat down and
wrote two or three letters bidding fare
well. to her friends, and giving direc-
tons as to where the remains of her
self and child should be bur-
led. She then seized the dag
ger and Inflicted q painful wound
in her left breast, near the heart;
but not havin. the courage to kill her.
self in this way, she took heavy dose
of opium, sat down and wrote final
letter, and then laid herself down be-
side her child to die. She either took
too much or not enough of the opium,
and was thus spared a suicides death.
Late on Wednesday evening she made
known all the circumstances of the la
inevitable affair to q daughter of the Pro-
prietor of the hotel, and her arrest i'm
mediately followed. Justice johnson
Yesterday remanded her to answer to
the charge of murder before the Circuit
Court.
We visited Mrs. n. in her cell yester-
day afternoon. When we entered she
wcs sleeping, but upon being spoken to
opened her eyes and asked what was
wanting. She said she was unwell,
and did not wish to be disturbed, that
if her own mother would call she would
not entertain her. She is not more than
twenty-three years ofage, of small stat
ure, and fair complexion.
The remains of the infant were yes
terday sent to Marietta on the Express.
The little girl was only three or four
years of age. As she lay in her little
coffin she looked the very image of in
nocence and beauty.

Dr.. BARABINO'S LAsT-Somc time
ago DIR. Barabino, candidate for Sher-
If at the last election, met with Il
severe fall, and has since that time
been confined to his bed. He meets his
misfortunes calmly, and while he lies
PROSTATE on his couch, surrounded with
books, he spins out poetry. He has
sent us the following, and as the Amer
lean public generally are deeply inter
ested in the Doctors productions, we
insert it in our columns. 1t will be OBJ
served to be combination" of differ
ent songs:
BIGHTED LOVE.
Ever of thee fondly dreaming,
Thy gentle voice, and thy winning SMILE
When Ger the lake the silver moon'is beaming,
Then think of me-"pa's struck lie.
Oft in the Silly night,
Thine angel form see;
Alone but one upon this earth,
And she's the girl for me.
When the moon has climbed the mountain
And the stars were shining too.
Come with thy lutte to the fountain
For little more cider too
In day.dreams you are near me,
when coming through the rye;
loved when first ] met thee,
And often for thee sigh.
Thy image ever bright
In my dreams appears to me;
In the lonely hours of night,
Then, dearest, think Of me.
am going far away
To distant, foreign land;
" ant to he an angel.
And with the angels stand;
Then gooa by. Peggy dear
Thy na,gie II vcrblcSs,
Though there none for me to love,
None to careSS.
7 would not live AWAY
There's no rose without a thorn:
! will take mc ilr away
On voyage round the horn
will hide the love feel
Buried in some distant arhOr,
For the girl | loved 10 well
