Horrible Sight
    This morning, about eleven o'clock, the officers of the Southwark Division of the Marshal's police were informed that a child had been killed by its mother in Plum street, near Third. - Several of the members of the department hastened to the place, and there found an infant child, aged only six months, lying dead in its cradle, in the back garret room of house No. 67, the lower floor was occupied by John Moor, as a "porter and ale house."  The room in which the little innocent was found, presented a picture of destitution, wretchedness and the effect of dissipation.  Near the cradle, containing the lifeless body of the child, lay its father, John Montgomery, and its mother, Rachel Montgomery, both in a beastly state of intoxication.  A filthy bed was discovered in one corner of the room, while upon a chest lay an unbroken loaf of bread.  The parents appear to have lived upon rum.

Singular Case of Suicide
    Jacob Cole, of this village, committed suicide on Tuesday afternoon week, by blowing out his brains with a gun....  The cause which induced him to the sacrifice of his own life were as follows:  On Saturday last a young girl who had been living in his family for some time past, appeared before Justice Terwilliger, of his village, and preferred a charge of rape against him, upon which he was arrested and held to bail for his appearance at court in the sum of $1,000. - The Circuit Court in and for Ulster county being in session this week in Kingston, he was in expectation of being called by his counsel, at every moment, to appear immediately before the Grand Jury, to answer to the charge preferred against him.  It seems his counsel was about making a settlement of the affair with the father of the girl, and wishing to consult Cole in regard to the matter, telegraphed for him to come down immediately, not stating any particulars.  Cole mistook the summons to be for his appearance before the court, and rather than appear before the legal tribunal, he put an end to his existence.  His age was 71 years.  -  Saugertiez Telegraph.

    A quarrel happened at Washington, Warren County, last week, which terminated in the death of one of the twain.  It appears that a man named Fanning, had for reasons unknown to us, separated from his wife, and had lived thus for some length of time without aiding to support his family.  A man named George Nixon and Fanning were in Bruner's barroom, at Washington, when Nixon twitted the latter of the fact of his wife's desertion.  Fanning became enraged and slapped his accuser in the face.  Nixon dared not to retaliate, for Fanning was a powerful man and could easily have mastered him.  Nixon left the hotel, went over to Johnson's store, which is nearly opposite, obtained an axe-handle, and when Fanning came out to go to his boarding house, followed him, and struck him upon the head, bringing him to the earth.  Nixon then jumped upon his stomach, which he done for some time, and then left him...  The wounded man got home as best he could, where he was taken with violent vomiting and suffered great pain, until 9 o'clock at night, when his spirit took flight....  Warren Journal of the 4th inst.
