MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN FLINTSIIIRE.—An extraordinary tragedy, writes a correspondent, has been enacted at Summer Hill, Holywell. An aged Couple, named Edwards, retired to rest on Tuesday even. i4g, and on the following morning, on a neighbour entering their house, both were found with their throats cut. The husband, Thomas Edwards, who was 80 years of age, was dead ; but his wife, who is 75 years of age, was alive, and is likely to recover. Little is known respecting this retakitable occurrence; but it is stated that the o'd woman 48 confessed that she murdered her husband, and then attempted to destroy herself.  , 1 [ Share' Railways. ,Paid Closing Business i I Price.
