A Wcniftn fcltlrit hy tier Husband at her
own requests -
The following extraordinary tut occurred t
short time tine t Wurtemburgh ; wt find it re
lated in a late foreign journal : -
Adam Gayring, man sixty four years of age,
of lioneit and uptight dealings, loved and respec
tod by all who knew him, presented himself on
the 8th ult. before the authorities of Heidenhcitn,
and stated calmly that he had jtut killed his wife.
His declaration was immediately taken, as fol
lows : "My wife," he said, "as every one knows,
has been suffering a long time from illness, and
at times the pains she had to endure were sutli
ns to affect her reason ; she latterly gave np all
hopes of recovery, and continually repeated that
not only was life a torment to her, but that she
feared that if I died before her, she would be re
duced to misery. This moruing, after we hat!
read together the 4th chapter of the Bonk of Jud
ges, (they wcte devout people, and read the bible
.very day,) she requested me to drive a nail into
her temple, as Jael did to Sisera, as such a death
: cemed to her short and easy, and would put an
end to her sufferings; she said she forgave me
bofoiehand for the act, of which she adsolved me
before God and man. A nail, she said, would
not cause a great hemorrhage, and would make
hut a slight wound. 'As soon as I am dead,' she
added, 'you can close the wound, put me on a
clean cap, and no .one will know anything at all
about it.' After long resistance, (contined Gay
ring.) I gave way to the wishes of my wife. I
took a nail and began to drive it into her left
temple with hammer, but the nail was too
weak, and the point, instead of entering, flatten
ed itself on the bone. I then took a small drill,
but was equally unsuccessful. My wife grew
impatient, and requested me to kill her at once
with the hammer, which I accordingly did, by
knocking in the skull. The body of my wire is
at my house, where you can examine it at your
leisure."
The magistrate immediately proceeded to the
house with a medical man, and Gayring under a
strong guard. They found the body dressed,
upon the bed. On the left temple there were
two wounds, and the right side ofthe skull was
' nocked in as low down as the temple. Beside
ie bed was a table, on which was a bible, the
ail, drill, and hammer alluded to. On the ground
was a basin of water, in which the murderer,
according to his own declaration, washed his
hands before presenting himself to the authori
ties. Garying is now in prison ; he is perfectly calm
and convinced that he acted well in fulfilling the
wishes of his wife by putting an end to her suf
ferings. Some Wurtemburg papers state that
the inhabitants of the village of Guessenstadt,
where the murder was committed, left their
work as soon at they heard of the murder, and
spent the day in the Church, fasting and praying
lor the soul of the departed.
Monterey. The Matamoraa Reveille men
tions one incident connected with the history of
Monterey, in Nuevo Leon, which is not generally
known. The streets of that city were paved
by American prisoners, taken by the forces of
On. Arredondo from Mina'a unfortunate expe
dition of 1816, and cemented with their blood.
These men, who had nobly periled their lives
to obtain the independence of Mexico, were ta
ken prisoners, and after being kept at hard labor
in the streets of Monterey for months, were ta
ken out and basely shot,aby order oi the govern
ment. There is but one survivor of the expe
dition, the senior proprietor ofthe Reveille, from
which we obtain the fact.
Receipk for Making Corn Sovp. Take one
dozen ears of corn, (yellow ia the best,) before
it ia hard, while the milk will run in breaking
the kernel, icore each one down the middle
with a knife, then scrape the inside out into t
bawl or dish, by running the back of a knife
hard over the face of the ear, which set aside,
then take the corn cob and what remains on it,
put them in a pot and cover with water, and
lxil one hour, then take out the cobs and put
in with the liqui-J the inside of the corn that was
scraped out, and boil together half an hour, put
in a little salt and a pint of sweet milk and let
it boil up once, dish it up with a little butter. If
found loo thick, it may be thinned with water
before the second boiling. We are assured by
one who has tried, it and who we know to be an
admirable judge of what is good, that by fol
lowing .these directions the poorest family may
enjoy a nutri'otis and most delectable dish of
soup.
For the Heaves or Bbokkn Winded
IIob8E8. Whoever is so unfortunate as to have
a heaving or broken winded horse, and desires
to cure or make him better, should not suffer
him to drink for some time any other drink than
weak !i:ne water. The horse will soon relish
this, and it seldom fails to produce a radical
cure.
I will state another way for those who may
prefer it. Take from one to two table spoons
f jl of ground plaster of Paris, and stir the same
into his menses three times day. At first, if
at hand, bran fur two or three days then bran
end oats lor a few days, with ground plaster,
ss above directed, in each ofthe messes. Prau
tie Farmer.
Tub Last Miller Story. The following
anecdote is told in-the Kniukerboker, of N. V.
A matter of fact old gentleman in New Eng
land, whose wife was a thorough 'Destruciionist,'
was awakened out of his sleep by his possessed
no, one stormy march night, with
'Husband! did you hear that noise t ItsGa
bnel a coming ! its the sound of bis chariot
whoeis !
'Oh, pshaw, you old fool !' replied the rood
man 'do you suppose Gabriel ii such sn ass as
to come on wheel in such good sleighing as
this) 1 1 tell you it's the wind turn over and
go 10 sleep !

Mr. Oar irt : t believe lithe nty of every
one to do whatever in their power lies, for the bene
fit of their fellow man, and bavins; had positive
proof in my own family, of the wonderful properties
of your Depuralive Syrup of Sarsaparills, I most
conscientiously recommend it lo the afflicted. We
bad the misfortune to lose two of our children, by
the breaking ont of ulcerous sores thst covered the
fsce, hesd snd neck, sltbough we had some of the
moat scientific physicians lo attend them and had
tried all the known temedies, including Swaim's
Panacea, without avail. Another of my children
waa attacked in ihe same manner, her face and
neck waa completely covered; the discharge wss so
offensive, snd Ihe disesse st such a height, that we
despaired of her life. Seeing Ihe wonderful effects
of your Depuralive Syrup of 8arsarilla, we were
Induced to make trial of il, as the Isal resort : it
scted like a charm ; the ulcers commenced heating
immediately, a few bottles entirely restored her lo
her beullh, which she hss enjoyed uninterruptedly
ever since. As s purifier of the blood.! verily be
lieve it has not its equal,

scrofula in lbs moat dreadful snd distressing man
ner for three years, during which time be was de
prived of ths use of his limbs, bis be.id snd neck

by Dr. Johnson of Noriistown, and also Dr. Isaae
Hieater, of Reading, to use your Depuralive Syrup
of Ssrssparills, of which I obtsined several bottles.

pRitActtrniA, February 1(1, 1839.
T7OR twenty yeara I was severely afflicted with
' Trttrh en the Fsce and Hesd! the disease1
commenced when 1 was seventrrn yesrs old, snj
continued until the Fell of l83fT, vsrying in vio
lence, but without over disappearing. During most
of the time, great pari of my face wss covered with
ths eruption, frequently sttended with violent iteb
ing; my head swelled al times until it fellas if H
would burst the swelling waa so grest, thst I could
scarcely get my hat on. During the long period
that I was sfflicled with the disease, I used a great
msny si plicslions, (among them several celebrated
preparations) aa well as taking inward remedies,
including s number nf bottles of Suaim,i Panacea,
Extract of Sarapnrilla, Ac,. In fsct. it would be
impossible lo enumerate all the medicines I used.
I was slso under the care of two of ihe most dis
tinguished physicians of ihis cily, hut without re
reiving much benefit, snd I despaired of ever being
cured. In the fall of 1838, the disease at the time
being very violent, I commenced uaing the Rote
Ointment, (prepared by Yaughan St Davis.) In
s few applications the violent itching ceased, the
swelling abated, tbe eruption began to disappear,
snd before I had used a jar the disease wss entirely
cured. It hss now been nesrly s year snd a half
since, and there is not a vestige of the disease re
msininf , except the scars from the deep pile formed
by the disease. Il is impossible for me to describe
in s certificate the severity of ihe disease and m
suffering, but I will be pleased to give s fuller se
connt to sny person wsnting further satisfaction,
who will csll on me. At the time I commenced
using the Rose Ointment I would have given hun
dreds of dollaia to be rid of the disease. Since u
sing it, I. have recommended it to several persons,
(smong them my mother, who had tbe disease bad
ly on ber arm,) who were all cured by it.

1 with Tetter in the hsnds snd feet for opwsnlt
of forty years; the disesse wss sttended generally
with violent itching and swelling. I applied to t
number of physicians, snd used s great many appli
cations without effecting a cure. About a yea;
since, I applied Ihe Rose Ointment, which entirely
stopped ihe itching, and a few applications immedi
aieiy cureu ine uiwase, wnicO Were has been nt
