DrAru-REp CONFESSION OF a MURDEREss

DEATH-BED CONFESSION OF FAMURDEREss-
SIZE PoIsoNs HER HUSBAND, CHILD, AND
FATHER-IN-L township OF Latay-
cite, Sussex county, n. j., is considerably
excited at the present time over some reve-
letions made BY O. woman named White just
previous to her dissolution, which took
place last Saturday. The particulars OF
her confession are horrible in the extreme,
and if true would indicate that the fero-
cious spirit Of Lucretia Borgia has found
another shocking parallel in these latter
days. Our, correspondent writes US that
the woman White, who was a widow, fell
victim to consumption. Beinga member OF
the Methodist Church, she sent for some OF
her fellow-members to attend her IN her dy-
ing hour, and stated to- them that about seven
wears ago she poisoned her infant child, so
It died. A year or so after she admins
tered poison to her husbands father, and
he died too. Later still, on the return OF
her husband from the ermy, she dealt to
him also o fatal potion, and he, too, passed
into the spirit land. The miserable woman
has borne q good character, as DO also her
relatives. They are poor people. Inc
only reason assigned for making this dying
declaration is that she desired TO RID her
conscience of this immense load of crime
nrior to her death. These statements we're
made to our correspondent by one OF the
attendants at the de sth bed OF me eeI-ac-
cused murderess. 1t is nota Little singular H
that her acknowledged acts have never pe~
fore leaked out. She was rertcctly sane
up to the time of her decoase.--4s''e7'kt

/ SAD DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL.-Yester-
day morning about 7'io'clock an interesting
little girl about two and q half years old,
the daughter of Mr.. Henry Miller, liquor
merchant, was burned Ito death at her pa
rents' residence, in this city. She was left
asleep in q crib in her chamber while the
nurse went down stairs to attend to some
domestic duty Not more than five minutes
elapsed, as We learn from the family, when
the nurse was sent back to see if the child
was still asleep. On entering the room it
was found filed with smoke. The alarm
was Immediately given, but the, parents
rushed to the room only to find their dar-
ling child lying on the floor dead. 1t is
supposed that she was sutfocated by the
smoke, as her clothes were not in flames,
but smouldering. There was little fire in
the stove, which was closed, and it is un.
accountable, how the child's, clothes could
have ienited.
