    Tragedy.
it is our painful duty to record this;
morning the brief events of a tragedy
which is unparalleled in the bloody an
pals of our city, and throws the wildest
of romantic fictions into the shade. Love
abandonment and revenge were the in
citing causes to this fearful tragedy.
The history of this bloody affair is,
in brief as follows: Not many years
si nee, Capt. John Howard married the
Montreal,
of a physician residing
Montreal, Canada. They lived together
jn apparent happiness and do mestic com
fort for some time in this city, but difficul
ties occurred not necessary-h ere to na - ne
and the parties seperated; the)wife taking
the two children, a boy and • girl. Not
hang after the separation Capt. H. ob
(aided the two children by violent means
-having no recourse in law—and pld
ced them in charge of a friend in Ken
tucky, at the same time an application
for divorce was pending in a court in
{hat State. Mrs H. was of an impetuous
deter Mined tempirariamt-='-a woman
ttif many aecotiplishinonts, and capable
tif high 01e6es fn society—and felt her
(tu i tiotliaiion to a keen degree, and had
Often S , .Vorn revenge. Heaven knows
ilia' his got it !
Capt. H. married aga 4 n, (it is said)
and was living at the time of this ter
rible transaction, with the !tidy (quite
handsome by the way, and amiable in
her manners)—who fell a victim to the
wild fury of jealousy and vengeance—
and perished tinder the knife of the
abandoned wife. The circumstances of
the tragedy are as follows :
At about 5-o'clock last evening, a wc-
Man called at the boarding house of Mrs.
Wolf, on fifth street between Plum and
Western Row, and walked into the en
try. Meeting Mrs. W she said— "Mad
am, I saw your door open and took the
liberty of Walking in. I came to see
Mrs. ilnward." Aire. W. said she would
call Mrs. H., and immediately went up
stairs for that purpot e.
Mrs. H. soon came down, and upon
meeting the stranger, the latter sprang
at her and plunged n knife into her neck
severing the jugular, and tl en walked
off! Mrs. H. staggered back into the
kitchen, the blood gushing from the
wound, cried. 0, Mrs. Wolf, lam kill
ed !" and expired in a short time! Mr.
Howard was in the house at the time,
and upon being made acquainted with
the facts, he seized a knife, and calling
the name of the murderess, rushed down
stairs—but she bad escaped ! The
bleeding object 3f his love was writh
ing in death before him, and he became
• frantic.
Pursuit was made for the murderess
but she could be . found no where. Mr.
.Inhn L. Scott, member of Council frill]
the second ward, however, met her a
short time after the murder, on Fourth
street, near Vine, when site called his
attention, by showing him a knife reek
ing with blood, and exclaimed—"l have
done it !—I killed her!—can I get this
much out of Howard !" She was de
termined in her manner, and her eye
had the glare of a maniac !, Her hand
and arm to the elbow were besmeared
with blood, and there were some spots
upon her face. Mr. S. wits so complete
ly confounded by this stngu!ar meeting,
that be suffered her to pass on. She was
arrested nt n late hour last night by of
ficer Hulse, Jr., rear her residence.—

A Woatas BOUND son CALIFORN IA .-Rotnaner
in Rral L.P.—About two weeks since a girl
employed in the Merrimack Milis ' Lowell, left
her boarding house, stating that she was going
to spentl some months with her parents in Pe
terboro', N. 11. After an absence of nearly •a
week, it was discovered that she had gone to
this city in male attire, and was making prepa
rations to leave for California. Her parents
were intnieiliately informed of these facts, who
arrived here on Monday last, and at once com
menced search for the missing daughter, Who
was finally found on board a vessel bound for
California. }tee hair had been rut off—and
with lierononkOy jacket and large pants, she
made a very fine looking young man. It seems
that she Sad drawn some $2OO from the Savings
flanks, came to this city, stopped at the Pem
berton house, secured a passage to California,
purchased pistols, etc., and would have been ou
her way to the golden banks of the Sacramento,
had it not been that a girl in the confidence of
dur heroine, who, fearing the result, informed a
relative, and thus exposed her whereabouts.—
She was very reluctant to give up the heroic
undertaking, which she fatally consented to do,
and returned with her parents to Peterboro'.—

Inrcocrarer DECISION.-The Court of Appeals
of„ the State of Maryland, now in session at An
napolis, has sustained the constitutionality of
the State law, forbidding the venders of liquors
upon the Sabbath. The Sun says
It was an appeal from a decision of
one of the county courts, in which the
judgment of the court below was rever
sed on the ground of informality in the
bill of exceptions, there being no proof
that the defendant etas a retailer of li
quor. The court, however,decided that
the State had the right under the con
stitution, to pass the law in question.

A Touching Story.
lion. A. 11 Stephens, of Ga., in a recent ad
dress at a meeting in Alexandria, for the bene
fit of the Orphan Assylum and Free School of
that city, related the following anecdote:
" A poor little boy, in a cold night in
June,
with no home or roof to shelter
his head, no paternal or maternal guar
dian or guide to protect and direct him
on his way, reached at nightfall the
house of a rich planter,
who took him I
in, fed, lodged, and sent him on his way
with his blessing. Those kind atten
tions
cheered his heart, and inspired
him with fresh courage to battle with
the obstacles of life. Years rolled on :
Providence led him on ; he had reached
the legal prtfession ; his host had died ;
the cdritorants that prey on the sub
stance of man had formed a conspiracy
to get from the widow her estates. She!
sent for the nearest counsel to comma!
her cause to him, and that counsel pro
ved to be the orphan boy years before I
welcomed and entertained by her and
her deceased husband. The stimulus
of a warm and tenacious grhtatide was
I now added to the ordinary motives con
nected with the profession. He under
took
her cause with a will not easily to
be resisted ; he gained it ; the widow's
estates were secured to her in perAtui
ty ; and, Stephens added, with an
emphasis of emotion that sent its elec
tric thrill throughout the house—Mat
orphan boy stands before you !"
