SHOCKING Wire MuRDER.-M Mark
Boothby, carpenter, killed his wife, in
the little village of Edgworth, near Bos-
ton, on Wednesday of last week, April

in consequence of some words with his
wife, he stove wheelbarrow which he
had been repairing, to pieces and started
to make fire with it, 80 near the house
as to endanger the safety Of the building.
The woman demonstrated with him, when
he took her by the throat, threatening to
be her death some time. Next day he
returned from the rum shop, and Selling
a loaded gun threatened to shoot cat
belonging to his little girl, and on the
girls declaring that he should not do SO,
he threatened to shoot the girl. The girl
ran out of the room, when he essayed
to follow, gun in hand. The woman
threw herself in the way to stop him,
when he pulled the trigger and the weap-
on was discharged, killing her almost in
stantly. The musket was loaded with
slugs and buckshot The muzzle was
almost against the woman's left breast,
and the charge went entirely through
her body, and was lodged in the walls of
the room. She dropped dead, when the
murderer threw down his gun, sprang to
the door, and ran into the woods near
by. A few hours later he gave himself
up to the authorities of Maiden, in

on the poor fellows, who could not show
head or hand without the certainty of
being struck. Very few escaped injury,
and the rest are either killed or wounded,
1t is impossible to ascertain the humber
of Modocs killed and wounded. 1ester-
day Capt. Mckay reported that his
Warm Spring Indians had taken four
scalps. This may be the whole, or it
may be only portion of the killed, the
Modocs being very careful to destroy, as
far as possible, all traces of their casual
ties, carrying their wounded into caves
and burning dead bodies.

THE SOLDIERS WEEP.

When the news of the massacre
reached camp, soldiers who had grown
old and gray in the service wept like
babes at the fate of their officers ana
comrades. .--.-.=
In many instances it would be diff
cult to recognize the dead but for some
article of dress known to have belonged
to them. Indian barbarity has defaced
the lineaments of those killed.
The above account is but an i'll reward
for the bravery displayed by the troops,
who seem to have been massacred rather
than killed in fair battle. Such, how
ever, is Indian war, and it looks as if
some one was needed there who under
