Sad OccrRREXcE. We are pained to state, that on Tuesday of last week, Col. Abxf.r Par ker, of Red mountain, in this county, committed suicide hy cutting his throat with a razor. He died, as we learn, in fifteen minutes after com mitting the act. He had been deeply afflicted in the loss of all his children by consumption; and. to this was added about twelvemonths ago a severer affliction in the loss of his wife. Op pressed with grief for these bereavements, he was also afflicted with a tendency of blood to the head, frequently indicated symptoms threat ening apoplexy. These preyed upon him, and it is supposed that his mind was upset, aud in a fit or derangement the fatal act was perpetra ted. Col. Tai ker was about sixty-one years of age, and was highly esteemed in the cotinty for his intelligence, public spirit, and hospitality. His loss will be mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Jlillslcrovgh Re corder, Jan. 3. Brutal mtrher ok a wife. The New York Express of Tuesday gives the following particu lars of the brutal murder of a wife by her husband still another victim of rum's doings: "Last evening, about seven o'clock, Thomas Hammond was arrested by Sergeaut Dwyer and Officer McCarty, in the basement of 34 Trinity Place, for "the murder of his wife. 'Shortly after the occurrence,' says Captain Ilalpin, of the First Ward police, 'I entered the basement, and the picture there presented was heart-rending in the extreme. There lay the deceased on the bed, all covered with blood, with tlte right cheek iinl temple completely beat in, where deceased had been knocked against the stove, with several of tlte same cuts in her face and body. Hammond was found lying alongside of the deceased, with his arm around her person, and he perfectly reckless or unaware of the deed which he had committed. The walls and floor were covered with blood, and everything in disorder, as if a struggle had taken place. A child: of the ac cused, six years of age, was the only witness to what occurred. Hammond is thirty-four years of age, of intemperate habits, a native of Ireland, and was a hard-working ma n.'" A Cim.n Beatex to Death by its Parents. Last evening we accompanied Coroner Dela vau, who was called to hold an iutpicst upon the body of a child named Paulina Bear, aged four years and three months, alledgcd to have been beaten to death by her parents. We pro ceeded to a dirty-looking hovel in ljathbury s court, running south from Bedford street, be tween Fifth and Sixth streets, and found our selves among a number of German and Irish families. The body of the child was laid out in the garret. It was almost a skeleton, and from head to foot, bore the most dreadful marks of brutal treatment. There were cuts and bruises upon its legs and arms. The abdomen was nearly black, while the frontal bone of the head appeared to be fractured. It was truly a shocking sight. The jury being empannellcd, the following facts were elicited: The mother of the child, who is a German ! woman, was married to a man named Francis Bear, a cooper by trade, last August. About two months ago, the couple took up their re sidence in a house with an Irish family, named Mann, in Lathbury's court. There, about five weeks ago, the child, Paulina, then a fine, hearty-looking girl, was taken ill with the diarrhoea. No Doctor was procured, and the little girl was left to suffer with the disease. This alone would haye been a quantum svfficil of brutality ; but two of the witnesses, Ann Mann and Catharine Grantz, testified positively that the chilu was repeatedly beaten by both Bear and his wife, but particularly by Bear. On. Christmas day, and afterwards. Miss Grantz interferred when Bear was beating the child in a savage manner. On a certain day the witness did not recollect the precise time Mrs Mann was alarmed by hearing the screams of the poor child, as Bear was beating her with a strap, a shoe, and other things. She went up stairs and found the child lying naked on the floor, and'tcrribly cut and bruised. She took the child down stairs, and gave it some gin to revive it, and thefl did all in her power to re lieve its sufferings. Soou after this, Bear and his wife removed to the opposite side of the court, to a house chiefly occupied by a German family, named Neiberd. : There th6 child died about twelve : o'clock on Saturday. ; Bear left the house : last Thursday, and has not been beard from since. -Philadelphia, United States Gazette. - ' " : . , CUMBERLAND COUNTY COURTS.

The royal mail steamer Asia has arrived. She sailed from Liverpool on the 23d nit. The political and war news is of an unim portant character. The intelligence from the Crimea possesses no marked interest. No further fighting had taken place. The allies were still busy in their attempts fully to invest Scbastopol. The bom bardment continued, but the fire was not brisk or effective. Large reinforcements had reached the allies. The Russians also had been heavily reinforced. The movement of Omer Pasba had been at tended with considerable success. We have further accounts of very severe storms in the Black Sea. The French and English troops were suffer ing extremely from the severity of the weather, Prussia has sent a special envoy to London, Rumor says that he is intrusted by his gov ernment with a proposition for an alliance with the western powers. The two . houses of the British Parliament are wholly absorbed with the war question. The debates arc of the most interesting and evcu exciting character. ' ..fc--fc..-.---.---.-.--..-.-.-...
