Particulars of the Affair.


Particulars of the Affair.
The quiet of Jarettsville,
Hartford county, was thrown
into q state of the utmost ex-
element and confusion by, a
tragedy which occurred in lis
bounds on Saturday the 18th,
ult., about six o'clock. Mich
olas McComas, a young man
living about two miles from
the village, was shot and al
most instantly killed by Miss
Martha j. Cairns, who resides
the same distance from Jaretts-
vile, but in different direc.
ton from it than the house of
McComas. The accounts given
of the melancholy affair render
it certain that McComas Sc
duced Miss Cairns over a year
ago, under promise Of mar
riage, and in January last a
child was born, which is living
at the present time. Miss
Cairns frequently importuned
McComas to fulfill his promise
of marrying her, but by equiv
ocations and excuses he evads
ed her requests, until she felt
toward him no other feeling
than utter hatred and a deter
minatlon to avenge her injur.

had ridden info Jarettsville
for the purpose of attending a
meeting of a militia company,
of which he was a member,
and at the time of the murder

on arriving at the tavern dis

TIE late Fitz Greene Halleck
said: A letter fell into my
hands, which a Scotch servant
girl had written to her lover.
Its style charmed me. 1t was
fairly Inimitabie. 1 wondered
how in her circumstances in
life, she could have acquired so
elegant and perfect a style. l
showed the letter to some of
my literary friends in the city
of New York, and they unani.
mously agreed that it was a
model of beauty and elegance.
| then determined to solve the
mystery, and l went to the
house where she was employed.
and asked her how it was that,
in her humble circumstances in
life, she had acquired a style
so beautiful that the most cul-
tivated minds could not but
admire it. "Sir," she said, 81
came to this country four years
ago, Then l could not read or
write. But since then have
learned to spell; so always
when l sit down to write a let
ter, | select those words which
are SO short and simple that l
am sure to know how to spell
them.n There was the whole
secret. The reply Of that sim
ple.minded Scotch girl con-
densed a world of rhetoric into
a nutshell. Simplicity is
beauty. Simplicity is power.
