I regarded her pale, cadaverous visage, as she lifted her sunken ees to me, for an instant, with a shudder of horrow, as when one sees unexpectedly a human skeleton stand up before him; and I shrunk from her with similar feelings. I could not speak. I took the cup from her attenuated fingers, and went to the well a hole dug in the ground, six or eight feet deep, with no stick or stone to curb it, except above the ground. As I returned it, 1 noticed a young woman sitting in the corner of the fire-place, close down to the fire as if sha king with the ague.

Lea, Esq., who. after carefully investigating the cir cumstances, came unanimously to the con clusion that the deceased came to hisdeath by a gunshot wound from a double-barreled gun, fired by Mrs Stillman. It is truly a tragical affair, and it pains us deeply to record it. Mrs Stillman we know well. She is a small and very deli cate female, and we ai-Knrt tlmt n,i have believed her honor, and perhaps her life, in great peril, before she could have been induced to take a gun even into her nanus. fco tearlully alarmed was she, that she iled from the house in her niht uress, alter firing the gun, leaving her children where thev wen'? f.i.nnl M.i veyedtoherat the neighbor's where she nau liiKen reluge.
