An ICxtrnortllnary Case.
A MuiiDKRKtt no Murderer We lenrn
from the Hillsborough (Me.) Recorder of the
"(Ith ultimo, that at the Superior Court, held at
that place the preceding week, a most extraor
dinary case was tried before Judge Caldwell,
which is perhaps as singular in its details as any
thnt have yet been recorded.
A little girl, exactly twelvo years of age, and
described as really beautiful in features, form
and figure, was arraigned for the murder of her
father. There was no one present at the time
the deed was done, except two small children
not competent evidence and consequently
there was no evidence against, her but her own
confession, nnd the fact of her futher being found
dead in his own house, nnd no one there but
herself; and it could not be proved, b It houoli
exertion wns made to do so, that any person
else had been there on the night of the murder.
The father was a drunken wretch, and the mo
ther was known to have a pnrainour, to whom
suspicion was attached, but he proved clearly
thnt he was somew here else on the night of the
murder.
It was proved that the father was at a grog
shop on the evening of the murder; that he be
came so intoxicated that the keeper ol the grog
gery had to put him on a horse, ond send him
home. On thp morning after the murder, the
owner of the house happened to pass near the
door, and discovered the corpse lying there.
The mini was lying on a pullet before the lire,
with one arm under hit head, in a sleeping po
sition. The head was severed as with one blow
ol an axe, and the severed part had rolled down,
exposing the brains and whole interior of the
skull, the axe having gone through the head,
through three thicknesses ot the qinlt, and halt
an inch into the floor! The owner of the house
above mentioned immediately summoned the !

girl und two children being there all the tune, i
The mother of the girl, nnd a son, 19 years of
age, had loll home the evening be lore, and stuid
all night at a neighboring house.
The girl immediately confessed that she had
killed him. I ler fir-t confession was, thnt her
father came home drunk, and beat her with a
s irk, and told her to pet a knife ; h was going
to kill himself; hut she could no! finds knife.
On being asked to show the stick wiih which
he beat her, after looking about she pointed out
one which one of the neighbors bad brought;
and on examining her bodv. no bruises were
found, which showed that tint part of her story
wvs untrue. She then said that be eaiue home
and laid down, and told her to kill him, nod on
her refusing, he swore he would kill her ifshe
did not; thnt she went and g-.t the axe, and he
laid down, but .die slill refused to kill him, and
he sworp hp w.iuld kill her. at the same time j

as he raised up sh struck him the lick but
ihe evidence proves that the blow must hnvf
be.-n ffi v.n when llie head was en the fl .er.thns
proving more untruth en her part. The varia
tions in her evidence nre singular, and excited
much speculation. They are the i-flecl of n
disturbed and excited Mate of mind, produced
either by fright, or an over anxiety, poih!y, to
I excuse the real murderer, if she did not commit
the deed herself.
She further stated, that having commuted the
bcI, the sight made her sick, and to avoid faint
iiiL', she threw a part of the quilt over the corpse
and went to bed, first, however, telling her
younger sister that si, n bad killed hrr daddy,
and iIip child immediately started up nnd went

and laid in her read lather's arms a'l i.ij.t.

The evidence of medical gentlemen was, that
a girl of her age and size had not tlrength to
strike such a b'ow. This leads many to the
belief that the real murderer is yet undiscover
ed. While onp can scarcely realize that a child
wool.) or could commit such a tleed, it is seen,
on the oilier hand, that she confessed from the
first moment that she did it, nnd no entreaties
could make her alter her statement ; not even
the loathsome solitude of a dungeon, through
night and through day, or the persuasion of her
counsel to disclose the truth, if she had not done
it, in d Iheir (solemn admonitions that the gibbet
aw tiled her unless she recanted. Nothing could
move her.
The jury retired but few minutes, ond re
turned a verdict of "not guilty." The case has
produced gteal excitement and speculation.
She was released immediately. The heart

is n bold picture and forcibly drawn :
'A man who hid gone over a great part of the
world returned at length home from his travels;
his friends came and requested him to relate
what he hnd seen. 'Listen,', said he. 'Eleven
hundred miles beyond the llurons there are men
whom I thought very strange ; they frequently
sit tit table until lute in the night; there is no
cloth laid, they do not wet their mouths ; light
nings might flash around them; two armies
might be engaged in battle ; even the sky
might threaten to crush them in its lull, they
would remain unmoved on their scnt, for they
are deaf ond dumb. Vet now and then there
escape from their lips a hnlf broken, unconnee
led. and unmeaning Found, and they horribly
roll their eyes at the same time. I often stood
looking ot ll.ein with astonishment, for w hen
such silting take plice people frequently go to

her mouth wau dry front exposure, sl.e closed

below the avoln. So soon as she discoved lex
situation, the whole family was assembled l y

"Some gentle efliirts were essayed to remove)
