SINGULAR MARRIAGE  - In the month of January, 1817, Mr. Harry ROCKWELL and Esther NILES, were united in the bands of matrimony, by the Rev. Mr. WEST, of East Hampton.
    In October, 1819, business called Mr. ROCKWELL to Savannah from which place he intended to return in about six months; but unforseen circumstances prevented his return until the 4th of the present month, having been absent 16 years, 8 months, and 27 days. During his absence Mrs. ROCKWELL obtained a bill of divorce and was a second time married. With her second husband she lived until his death, which happened March 12th, 1831 and from that to the present time she has remained a widow. On Saturday, the 4th inst., Mrs. ROCKWELL arrived in Chatham, East Hampton Society, and found her that was his wife, in the same house in which he had left her in the year 1819, and on Thursday afternoon, the 19th inst., they were again united in the bands of matrimony, by the Rev. Mr. LOPER, of Middle Haddam. A short but comprehensive address was delivered on the occasion.
                 Like Noah's dove, that from the ark
                 Was sent forth all alone.
                 He found no mate to cheer his heart
                 Until he did return home.

SHOCKING MURDER - We have had related to us the particulars of a murder committed at Springville, in this county, on Thursday night last, accompanied with circumstances of horrible atrocity. The details, as we have learned them, are as follows: On the evening of the day we have mentioned, Joseph CARTER, foreman in an Ashery belonging to a Mr. VAN PELT, in which the process of "melting down" was then going on, was in the Ashery, in company with an old man named GOODELL, a laborer, indulging themselves in liquor.
    In the course of the evening, a man named VOSBOURGH, a mason, working for Mr. VAN PELT, came in and joined them VOSBURGH, although of rather dissipated habits, was naturally a quiet inoffensive man, and was entirely sober on entering the building. About 9 o'clock, a person passing by, heard VOSBURGH -- who had a dispute with CARTER the day previous -- talking to CARTER in a tone of remonstrance or accusation -- saving that he would tell VAN PELT of something which had been done. Between the hours of 12 and 2, several of the neighbors heard loud noises at the Ashery, but supporting them to be only the effects of a drunken carousal, paid but little attention to them.
    In the morning, the dead body of VOSBURGH was discovered by a person who was passing by laying near the Ashery, nearly divested of clothing -- which had the appearance of having been torn off -- and bearing frightful evidence of the violent means by which he had been deprived of life. In addition to the infliction of several bruises, the body had been thrown into a kettle of boiling lie ! in which it seemed to have been entirely immersed, with the exception of a portion of one leg.
    While the horror-struck finder of the body was gasping at the spectacle before him, he heard some one within the building ask, "what shall we do now?" -- and on entering, he found CARTER and GOODELL scarcely recovered from the night's debauch. On interrogating them respecting the death of VOSBURGH, they professed utter ignorance of it, but did not even go to the door to see the body; and CARTER was proceeding to re-kindle his fires. The neighbors were instantly apprised of the circumstances, and CARTER and GOODELL immediately arrested. They were under examination when our informant left, and it is expected will be brought to this city to-day, for commitment until trial --[Buffalo Advertiser, Aug. 1.

SANG FROID - HARRISON, of Virginia, the father of Gen. HARRISON, one of the signers to the declaration of Independence, was a very large heavy man - after affixing his name to the memorable instrument, he turned to Elbridge GETRY, who was very thin and slender, and said, "when the time of hanging comes, I shall have the advantage of you; it will be over with me in a minute' but you will be kicking in the air half an hour after I am gone."
