THE MURDERER poTTs.

TRENToN, N. j., Jan. l0.-A warrant
was issued yesterday for the execution Of
the murderer Potts, January 26th.--
Some remarkable developments have
been made in the Gaze. IL appears that
the woman Wilson, on whose account
Potts killed Pet Halstead, is, in reality
the wife of the murderer. The mar
riage certificate was seen by Col. John
son, warden of Essex county Jail, at the
time of the trial. Both concealed the
fact to save the wife from trial for big
amy, and Potts has now revealed it only
because the woman, after promising re.
formation, and securing all her husband s
property, has entered house of ill-fame
in Philadelphia.

ing of last week, twolitile fellows of FIVE
or six years attempted to cross the rail-
road track on Main street, just before an
approaching train which was being back
ed across the street. They were seen
and called on TO go back, but turning,
both slipped down just on the track. A
scramble for dear life barely saved them
by few inches, the wheels passed be-
yond them before the train could be
stopped.

A HEN SroRY.-The Claremont Adj
vocate has the following novel hen story
from Acworlh, N. H.: Herbert A. Gree
ley calling at Mr.. Frank EIlenwood's
some time since noticed that he had six
young chickens Just hatched. Young
Greeley asked Mr.. E. his price for the
birds, and thereby, "25 cents, was sat.
isfactory to the former, and the bargain
was concluded, and the tender fowls were
without their mother, taken to the boys
home. The chickens wereput into box
of convenient size and adaptation, which
at night and in the coolest weather, with
the inmates, was taken into tie house.
Thus they were cared for, for several
weeks, when an old hen of Mr.. Greeley's
flock took pity upon and became stead
fast friend of the little chickens, cluck-
ing to them and feeding and broodiDg
them as if they were her own. The
chickens became attached to their adopt
ed mother, and now obey her and seek
her protecting care as though they had
received no other. The hen was not dis
posed TO set, or any thing Of that sort,
as she had not, her owner asserts, laid
an egg for some time previous.
