HORRIBLE STABBISa OAsE-One Woman Kills
Another.-Miss Mary Cobb, young lady about
II years Of age, who formerly resided in the
family OF Mr. y. w. Aylsworth, in Fulton,
and known as having one of the most peace
able and best dispositions in the country, was
fatally stabbed to the heart, with a knife or
dirk in the hands Of q Mrs. Goddard, last Mon l..
day morning, near Thompson Station, in York
township, Carroll county, and died almost in
stahtly. The circumstances, as communicated
TO us. were. that two men, Yates and Zuck,
who occupied different parts Of the same house
on the Holman farm, in ork, got into quar-
rel on Monday morning last, when Mrs. God
dard attempted to hand Yates knife with
which to stab Zuck, the brother in law OF
Miss Cole, bat was prevented by the young
lady, into whose heart Mrs. Goddard thrust
the deadly instrument, without as we can
learn, any other shadow Of provocation. Mrs
Goddard was Immediately arrested, and is con
fined in Jail to await her trial. Mrs. Goddard
is said to be young woman OF not the mos,
agreeable disposition, as this last horrible &C,
most plainly indicates. Miss Coles funeral
took place on Tuesday, and was largely at.
tended by the people in the vicinity. She was
on brief visit to her brother in law, and ex.
pected to return to Fulton next week.-Fultor
