We learn from the
adjoining borough of Roxbury, that last evening, about 8 o'clock, a young
man, a stranger from Maine, called at the residence of Dr. A. J. Cummings,
complaining of being unwell. Dr. C., being absent, Mrs. Cummings
invited him into the parlor. Soon after taking a seat, he complained
of a pain in his side. At that moment, Mrs. Cummings' little daughter,
a girl of about 8 years old, came into the parlor, when the stranger, drawing
a razor from his pocket, seized the child and cut its throat from ear to
ear. Mrs. Cummings sprang forward to protect her child, and was herself
very badly cut in the hands. The monster then attacked the mother,
and as she fled from the house, pursued her to a neighbor's residence,
where she sought refuge. Failing to overtake her, he returned to
Dr. Cummings's residence, and there cut his own throat, falling dead in
the street. The little girl died instantly. He was evidently
insane. His name is supposed to be Ephraim D. Daggett, of Hope, Maine.

P. Bartley, Esq., late member of the Assembly from Roxbury, went to Stanhope
on Saturday last on business, and was examining the operation of a circular
saw, intending to put one up at his works at the lower part of Flanders.
Standing in front of the board which was being severed, the saw struck
a hard knot, which threw it out of the person's hands who had it in charge,
striking Mr. Bartley in the pit of the stomach. He was taken to a
Hotel, and a physician being immediately called, restoratives were adminstered,
and on partially recovering, he expressed a desire to be taken home, which
was acceded to. Being in such excruciating pain he could be taken
no further than the residence of his father-in-law, Capt. Caskey, where
he gradually sunk, and expired about 7 o'clock on Sabbath evening....
He leaves an affectionate wife and six children to mourn their irreparable
loss and his death has caused a vacuum, both in the church and in the society
in which he lived, not readily filled. His age was about 45.
