The children, who were large enough to do to, ran dl and brought in the nearest neighbors, who found him in the house, with the deed body lying on a bed, wholly urte on earned ! He was immediately arrested and put in custody. This horrid deed waa perpetrated with out any cause, except wbat was to be found in the malignity of tbe heart of this uVruoa in human ahape. Mrs. Brown wat the only child of Gerr. Ktutts, Kqr., of Concord, N. C, upon whmi and (tie wife, this sad ewUstroplie brings a sore affliction in their old age. The deceased had received much care and attention from her fond parents, in early life, who had this only and favorite child on whosa in centre their hopes a.nd affections. She wat educa ted at Salem, in this State, and aqnrtly after mar ried I im who had destroyed her peace when living, and is guilty uf ber blond when dead. Instead of finding domeetic happiue", to gain which, she even incurred, for a while, the displeasure of ber parent in her marriage, the became the victim of the most dreadful hatred and cruelty. Bui the misery he endured in married life, did not prevent the ex ercise of those quulilios of tba heart thai endeared her to all her friends and acquaintance. Aa a wife and mother ahe waa exemplary as a friend and neighbor she waa universally respected, .She waa a member of the Presbyterian Church. About a year aince ahe removed to Arkansas, with him, who, instead of being ber protector,' haa become her murderer, and rendered motherless, and worse than fatherless, sti small children I ..
