Shocking Murder
The Marlborough Gazette
gives an account of a most fiendish murder committed in Charles County,
Md., upon Mr. James Johnson, by tieing him to a fence, placing fuel under
him, and setting it on fire. This extraordinary barbarity was committed
by two men, named Smith and Osborne, who have been arrested, their unhappy
victim having barely survived long enough to denounce them as his murderers.
Mrs. Cooper, a young married woman, has eloped from Pompret, Windham county, Ct., with a "colored gentleman," taking with her an only child. She is a decided "free soiler."
The Doylestown Suicide
The young man who
committed suicide in Doylestown week before last, has been recognized as
a son of Samuel Sechler, of Richmond township, Bucks Co., Pa. The
corps was conveyed to the residence of the parents for interment.
The horse and wagon proved to be the property of Mr. Sitgreaves of Allentown,
Pa., and had been hired by the young Sechler. No evidence appears
of his having been robbed as stated by him. He had probably attempted
to steal the horse and wagon but being suspected and detained, committed
the fatal deed to avoide conviction of the crime. He had previously
been engaged in similar business but so far had avoided detection.

Hickory Run, March 31, 1852
A most distressing
accident occurred at Day & Saylor's steam mill, by which Mr. Henry
Stull, head sawyer, lost his life. He understook to put a strap on
the drum which drives the circular saw, and was caught by the skirts of
his coat by the battered end of a small iron key which holds another pully
to the same shaft, and was whirled round at the rate of 250 time per minutes
- his legs coming in contact with a scaffold on which he had stood, were
broken in several places and his face badly bruised. The steam was
shut off instantly, but by the time the mill stopped life was nearly extinct.
Horrible Occurrence - Child Murdered

who has been crazy since Christmas last, in a violent fit of mania, seized
the babe by the legs and broke its skull to atoms against a chair...
A little boy, six
years of age, son of the unhappy woman, gave the alarm to two neighboring
women. They rushed in, and discovered Mrs. Hilt in the act of cutting
her throat... - Evening Bulletin.

Another Murder in New York
On Tuesday morning
about 1 o'clock, a cold-blooded murder was committed in the Fourth Ward,
the particulars of which are as follows:
It appears that two
men named Patrick McCormick and John Harvey were in Mr. Steele's liquor
shop, corner of Henry and Catherine streets, when, concerning some trivial
matter, they commenced fighting. This dispute was apparently settled,
and the two men walked arm and arm down Catharine street, to No. 44, where
McCormick resided. Here the fight was again resumed and in a scuffle
which ensued, McCormick stabbed Harvey in the side with a large jack knife,
which caused his death almost instantly.
The Terrible Accident on the Railroad
Near Watertown, New York
It appears that a
company of nine persons - two married men with their wives and five young
ladies - thought to amuse themselves by an evening's ride from the manor
to Sandy Creek, on a hand car, after, as they supposed, the last regular
train for the day had passed. After running about half a mile, and
as they were turning a curve in the road, they were met by a locomotive
and tender, which was backing up from the creek to the manor.
The unfortunate occupants
of the hand car had but a moment's warning, and that moment served only
to paralyze the ladies with fear. One of the men seized his wife,
and the other one his wife and one of the young ladies, and sprang from
the car. The other four were on the car when the collision took place;
three of them were thrown under the locomotive and crushed to death, and
the other was found mortally wounded by a blow which she received in the
forehead.
The names of the
young ladies killed, were: Miss Wright, of Oswego, and Miss Williamson,
Miss Allen, and Miss Andrus, of Pierrepont Manor.

Frightful Suicide
Miss Laura Lull,
a respectable American girl, of West Brookfield, Mass., committed suicide
a day or two since under the following painful circumstances: Having
been the victim of a cruel and heartless desertion and laboring under a
sensitiveness of disappointment and wrong inflicted upon her, she visited
Worcester on the morning of the fatal day, but only to find her last hope
crushed. Returning to the East Brookfield station, she left the cars
and inquiring at what time the next train would pass up towards Springfield,
(which would be in a short time), she started on foot towards West Brookfield,
and disappeared beyond an adjacent curve. Very soon the train came
up, and when the whistle was sounded, she snatched her purse and taking
a ring from her finger, gave them to a little girl who was walking by her
side, telling her to hasten up a bank out of the way of the cars.
This done, she immediately laid down upon the tracks, and almost in an
instant was a mangled and shapeless form!

A Startling Murder and Suicide In Newark,
N.J.
A dreadful tragedy
was discovered about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, in Newark, the
Advertiser says, where a German, named Bernard Runy, aged 45, and his wife
Caroline aged 26, have occupied two rooms on the third floor since the
first of June. They have been missed since Saturday night by the
other occupants of the house, and some suspicions having been excited this
morning by the stench issuing from the room, a ladder was raised to the
back window, and a pane of glass broken - the doors being locked - when
the bodies of Runy and wife were discovered lying upon the bed, large quantities
of dried blood being upon the bed and floor. Both were bloated, disfigured
and corrupted to a great extent... The case is evidently one of jealousy
and revenge, most probably suicide on the part of Runy after the murder
of his wife.

Melancholy Result of a Foolish Banter
On Saturday evening
two young men, in Stewart street, Moyamensing, made a banter with each
other as to who could drink the most liquor. One of them drank a
pint, when he became sick and threw it up it, however, gave him an attack
of mania a potu, from which he was suffering yesterday and he is
still unwell today. The other rash young man, whose name is William
Gallagher, elated with his triumph in the contest of folly, continued to
swallow the poisonous stuff until he had taken nearly a quart. He
was seized with alarming symptoms, and this morning expired... Young
Gallagher was about 23 years old. - Eve. Bul.
Terrible Catastrophy.
Burning of the Steamboat Henry Clay.
Great Loss of Life.
The Henry Clay started
from Albany in company with the Armenia, making the usual stoppages for
passengers, swelling the number till it reached to between three and four
hundred. She raced with the A., as all the passengers we have seen
inform us, till she had run ahead of that steamer some four or five miles.
Her hull had become very much heated from the sun, as well as from her
own furnaces, till she was as dry as a chip and inflammable as gunpowder.
In this condition, and when near Yonkers, while these three or four hundred
human beings were little dreaming of danger, a black smoke was seen to
issue from the centre of the boat, near the pipes... Immediately
it was noticed that the head of the boat was turned towards the shore,
from which the breeze was blowing. Then the flames began to steal
up and through the vessel. Then the cry of fire spread consternation
among the passengers on-board the ill fated steamer. Almost immediately
after this she struck on shore, below Yonkers, about a quarter of a mile
this side of Fonthill, Mr. Forrest's residence, and the scene that then
ensued baffles description....
The inquest will
be continued this morning. Some sixty persons are still missing,
and the boats are engaged in grappling for the bodies. The following
are the names of those upon whom the inquest was held:
Mrs. Harriet E. Colby,
aged 32, wife of T.E. Colby, of Montpelier, Vt.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hillman,
of Troy, N.Y.

During the afternoon, several of the neighbors called to see the corpse,
through curiosity, and among others, Mrs. Shivers, wife of Charles W. Shivers,
