Last Saturday, Isaac Wainwright, .
trucker residing on the New Castle road
short distance from this city, had
what appeared to be . spry young
colored man brought to him by an en-
ployee Of neighbor, who said that he
knew him well, and that he would
prove q valuable hand on the farm.
In answer to Mr.. Wainwright's In
quiries the seeker after work gave his
name as Henry Turner, and said be was
from the West Indies. The matter OF
wages was left with Mr.. Wainwright,
butTurner said In advance that he knew
very little about farm work, having
been employed as q cOechmaD. He
was engaged and everything went well
until Tuesday, and the only suspicious
thing noticed by Mr.. Wainwright was
the fact that his new hand seemed very
much afraid Of horses, which he
thought rather singular, as he said he
had been employed for long time as
coachman.
!, On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Wainwright
sent his new hand TO this city with .
wagon containing barrel or two Of
cabbages, and some measures, with
instructions 10 back the wagon on
King street, and return with the horse.
AS the man did not return, Mr.. Vain
wright came to this city, and not find

Death.

j. F. E. Mitchell, q resident Of Taren.

for some time, and in consequence has
had numerous quarrels with his wife
and the members of the family. He
went to the Office of a Justice of the
Peace and tried TO induce the magis-
trate to enter an information againt his
wife. He was unsuccessful and was
greatly incensed in consequence. Going
home he compelled a young son 10
turn q grindstone while he put
a keen edge on q hatchet, he then re-
tired to an out6uilding, locking the door
after him. He then deliberately placed
his left arm on block and with one
blow severed it at the wrist, expecting
to bleed to death before assistance
could be summoned. Two Of his chill
dren forced open the door and found
him weltering in blood and almost dead
from exhaustion. They had great ditficul'
ty to prevail upon him to have the arm
bandaged, until physicians could 'ar.
rive. He finally yielded. 1t is doubtful
whether he will recover from the effects
of his decentralization.
