Whereas, my wife, Malissa Henrietta, has left me without my consent and without cause on my part, I therefore warn the public against giving her credit for anything on my account.

CHILD-MURDER. - On the 11th inst., a negro woman named Elizabeth Ann BENTON, was committed to jail by H.M. PARKER, Esq., of Sulphur Springs, to await trial at Circuit Court on charge of infanticide. The testimony on the file shows that the woman was a servant in the family of F.J. SMITH, Esq., of Rock township, and that she was suspected of being enceinte. On the morning of Friday, Feb. 1st, a servant man discovered a dead infant, colored, hid in a hollow tree, some 150 yards from the house. Believing it to be the child of the woman, Elizabeth BENTON, she was apprised of the fact, and the case reported to the Justice. On the trial, Dr. Geo. W. VARNUM testified that he had examined the child, and believed that it had been born alive and subsequently smothered. To the justice she confessed that the child was her's; that it was born the morning it was found in the hollow tree, and stated that it never made any sound, she believed it dead, and being unable to bury it, she laid it there with the intention of afterward burying it. There was no other evidence of violence than the testimony of the physician, who however, is reputed to be a gentleman of extensive experience and careful judgment.
