A
ing these supplications for mercy, Nicholas con
tinued to apply the axe with the ferocity of a
demon, inflicting wounds of a deadly character
at almost every blow. No less than twenty
wounds are visible on the face and head of the
victim. Upon knocking him senseless on the
floor, it is evident he seized Mrs Wickham by
the throat with oue hand to prevent her giving
further alarm, while he struck her two succes
sive blows upon the forehead with the axe,
shattering the skull and distributing the brains
about the room. Mr Wickham was found pros
trate on the floor, and his wife was lyiu? iu
the opposite direction, with her head towards
the windows bereft of all her night clothing.
The shrieks and cries of Mr and Mrs vv ick
ham aroused the two servant girls, who occu
pied the attic bedroom. Ellen Holland, the girl
whom he had threatened, was the hrst who heard
the disturbance below. She instautly suspect
ed that it was Nicholas, and aroused her com
panion, Catharine Dowd, to go and alarm the
lbors, that murder was going on down
stairs." Ihey were afraid to go down stairs,
and how to escape they knew not. They lis
tened, and the beating noise had ceased, and all
appeared quiet; and fearing he would next come
up stairs, they fled to the garret window, and
Catharine leaped out of it on to the kitchen
roof, then slid down to the roof of the milk house
connecting with it, and then to the around.
Elleu soon after followed her, and both ran off
screaming across the meadows, to the residence
of Mr Betts, a distance of five or six hundred
yards. They alarmed Mr Betts. screaming out.
"for God's sake go to onr house, for murder is
being committed." Mr Betts at first thouarht
the girl was crazy; and Mrs Betts exclaimed,
"Don't let her in, the crirl is mad."
tVfter a while Mr Betts concluded to go and
see about it, and called J-r. Carpenter, who
lived near by, and a Mr Corvviu, to go with
him. They all approached the house together,
and listened tor a minute to ascertain if they
could hear anything. Not hearing anything
thex went on to the house, and found Mr Wick-

The Cholera. This dreadful scourge appears
to be again spreading with considerable virc
lence in all directions. The passentrers on manv
of the vessels arriving at Northern ports from
abroad are afflicted with the disease in its true
type, or something very similar thereto. We
daily hear of emigrants dying of cholera on
board the steamers navigating the Mississippi
and other Western rivers, and in addition, the
malaria is reported to be gathering victims in a
number of the interior towns. The Nashville
w lug states that fifteen deaths have lately
occurred in that place, most of them in one dav
from a disease strongly resembling cholera'.
Uut, mark you, most of these fatal cases could
"be traced to excessive dissipation and drunken
ness," accelerated, it was believed, by the very
unhealthy weather which had prevailed. Under
these circumstances it is proper that measures
should be adopted in large cities to prevent the
disease from becoming an epidemic.
The Value of an Industrial Calling. In
referring lately to the statisticts of the Phila
delphia County Prison, the "North American"
incidentally notices the fact that of the two hun
dred and seventy convicts received into that
institution durinjg the last year no less than one
hundred and eighty-three were persons without
any regular profession or trade upon which to
depend for a liveliliood. This extraordinary
condition of things (says the North American)
deserves the serious consideration of all well
wishers of the community, pregnant as it is with
an admonition which ought never to be neglect
ed by those who have the charge and guidance
of youth. The fact speaks trumpet-tongucd of
the great wrong committed by persons who un
der weight of such a responsibility, omit the
performance of their duty and permit children
to grow up to maturity mere useless superflui
ties in the great body of civilized society.

Piles, for Hydrothorax of the Brain, Spine of
the Back and Lumbago of the Limbs. Its

all fruits, grain and vegetables which grow in

for their extraordinary sweetness. The common

of saccharine matter, that the manufacture of
beet sugar is said to offer strong inducements
to gentlemen of enterprise and capital to embark
in tne business. The onlv sue-ar which is
brought to Santa Fe now is transported from
the valley of the Mississippi across a desert of
nearly 900 miles in extent, and the cost of
transportation increases "its price about ten

New Mexico is worth from four to eight dollars

beets has never been attempted there, probably
because no one in the country has the slightest
knowledge of the art.
Rail Road Accident. On Saturday last,
shortly after the freight train ou the Wilmington

when within a mile or two of town, the cars
came in contact' with a cow upon the track

negro man by the name of Henry.

enter the premises, and accordingly they broke
open the door, procured a light, and went up
stairs. Upon entering the bedroom Dr. Car
penter saw Mr Wickham raising up on his hands
aud knees, and he exclaimed, "O, my! O,

floor. These were the last words he uttered. The
doctor then rendered medical aid, and discover

In addition to these wounds, his head and
