Country life in the winter without the pleasure of good slrighng, is somewhat mOnotonous and little tedious. When therefore pleasant sensation comes to af- ford variety to the dull course of unevent
 ful days, it is welcomed with zest and enjoyed with delight unknown to the dwellers Tn densely populated towns and cities. Such a pleasure we haze in antici- patton on Friday evening of the present week in the form of lecture by Hon. Robert D Livingston, who is making our village his home for the present, and whose genial disposition and agreeable manners render him favorite with all of our citi zens. The subject of the lecture will be The poets and poetry of Great Britain an intersting theme, and which the lecturer having made it favorite study, will handle with taste and eloquence which cannot but be attractive to the audience assembled on the occasion. Mir. Livingstone is q skillful elocutionist, and his voice and dts livery are admirably calculated 10 give et feet to ''thoughts that breathe and words that burn" which too often loose half their power from faults of u'terance. Tine lee ture will be given in the Methodist church, and the avails are for the benefit of the Rev Robert Hunt, the amiable and popular pastor of that large, respectable and flour ishiug society.

 W. Leach, who is also pillar of the Bapt- list church and an ardent member of the Sons of Tempcrance, For some time past he has been drinking freely of alcohol ana cider, which finally made him almost a man. aiac. On Friday afternoon, after sending away all his family except his little son, he stationed himself at front window with double barrcled gun and proceeded to fire at every one who passed. Thomas Dump, who lived in the same house, and John Capeless, neighbor, were the first to re- ceive his dispensation, and after them two others, William Coombs and Daniel Swift, who Were endeavoring to arrest the doctor, were shot. These four men having been wounded, the lunatic was finally secured by making rush while he was loading up. Saturday morning he was taken before the judge of probate, who ordered him 10 be removed to the Taunton Insane Hospital.
 Of the wound d men none probably arc fa- tally injured, although two of them received serious hurt. Notwithstanding the doctors past good character, it is now whispered that he has been concerned in several other crimes recently perpetrated near Lakeville.

ANEGRo WOMAN BURNED AT WENTZ.
vILLE.-On the 4th inst, the citizens Of
Wentzville were startled by the discovery
that horrible death and probable murder,
had been committed in their midst. Old
Aunt Hannah Long, (colored), about
sixty -four years Of age, was found liter
ally baked to death in negro cabin,
which she had been occupying with An
gsline Brush, q negro woman notorious
for her viudictivsnsss and other bad pas
sions. From the scanty testimony we
glsau that on the morning of the 9th,
Hannah and Angslins were both at the
cabin. Angeline left, locking the door
and fastening Hannah in. On the 9th it
was discovered that Hannah was dead.
The proper officers we're at once notified
and Esq. Savage promptly proceed to
hold au inquest. Upon opening the
cabin door a most revolving sight pre-.
seutsd itself to the jury and the specta
tators. The deceased lay in the embrace
of death, surrounded by the most ap-
paling and offensive circumstances, The
body on the right side being burnt to
through crisp, with slips of clothing in,
tsrmingloa with the shrsds Of charred
flesh, the organized expression OF 'oun'
tsnancs and the stencil arising, all com, :,
biusd to make the scene most horrible and
revolving. !.
Circu mstantial testimony tended to
corro borats the suspicion that some one
had poured coal oil over the clothing Of
the old woman whilo she was asleep and
then applied the match. A part OF the
clothing was not burned the coal oil can
was sitting near the corpse, and was with
out stopper the smell Of oil was very
psrce ptibls, and the remark Of . sen Of
one Of the witnesses that coal oil had
bsea poured on Hannah once before, oil
indicated foul play Of the most deyl'lsn
charaster. Notwithstanding these facts
however, We learn the jury returned
.erdiet Of death by burning at the hand'
of some ono unknswn." The corpse was
iater,ed imuedirtsly after the inquest
