A Woman Killed on The Railroad - A woman by the name of WELCH was run over by the train of cars coming west, and again by the train going east on Monday night about a mile from Cartersville. She was a woman of intemperate habits — lived in the neighborhood and had previously been in the habit of wandering about on the railroad track. The coroner held an inquest over the body and gave a verdict that she came to her death as above stated. Her body was first discovered about 10 o’clock at night, terribly mangled.

A man somewhat intoxicated, was driving about the city at railroad speed, on Tuesday night in a sleigh with his family. The cries of his frightened and half frozen children, attracted the attention of our citizens, and his horses were stopped, and finally he was induced to proceed towards his home in the country.

FOR CALIFORNIA — Four young gentlemen from Scottsville left this city at eleven o’clock, yesterday, for California. They are Doct. W. G. LACY, Joseph P. HANFORD, Richard ALLEN, and James B. GATES.

A NEW CURE FOR DRUNKARDS — Dr. SCHREIBER, of Stockholm, has succeeded in curing drunkards of their bad habits. He isolates the patient, gives him brandy and water to drink, prepares all his food with brandy and water and mixes these with his tea and coffee. At the end of a few weeks the regimen produces an uncontrolable disgust and repugnance. A physician should, however, watch the operation for fear of apoplexy and cerebral congestion. One hundred and thirty idle soldiers were so treated with perfect success.

MECHANICS & FARMERS BANK AT ALBANY — A statement has been going the rounds of the papers, stating that Theodore OLCOTT, who has just been acquitted of legal perjury in connection with his proceedings as cashier of the Canal Bank of Albany, has been appointed cashier of the mechanics and Farmers’ Bank of that city. The Journal says that Thomas OLCOTT, who succeeds Mr. KENDRICK as cashier of the Mechanics and Farmers’ Bank, is not the OLCOTT, implicated in the frauds of the other institution.

It is high time for Democrats "to bury the hatchet," to sacrifice all minor differences upon the alter of their country’s good, and to unite as one man in an effort to drive out the "Goth’s" from the Capitol. Within ninety days after the inaugeration of TAYLOR, the profligacy of whiggery will be so apparent, that the Democracy will unite as one man to drive them from power.

SUICIDE — A scotchman named James CAIRNES, shot himself in Brighton on Saturday. He arrived in this country last August, and has since his arrival resided with his brother-in-law, near the canal in Brighton, about two miles from this city. About two months before leaving Scotland his wife died, and since he has lived here he has been in rather a melancholy mood. Within the last two week’s a change in his health, supposed to have been induced by the melancholy state of his mind, has been quite apparent, so much so that fears were entertained by his friends, and some precautions taken to prevent his committing suicide. There was a gun, loaded with shot and a precussion cap on, in the house. The precussion cap was removed from it in order that he could not injure himself with it. On Saturday morning however, the deceased came to this city and returned. He was discovered shortly after, dead in his room. A box of precussion caps was found near him, the muzzle of the gun levelled against his breast. He had removed his boot and sock from his foot and discharged the gun by pulling the trigger with his toe. Coroner FROST held an inquest over the body, and a verdict was given in accordance with the above facts.

TERRIBLE DISASTER — We learn from the McGrawville Express that the boiler of the steam engine connected with the tannery, which had been employed for several days in the propelling of the machinery for the sawing of lumber, exploded, killing instantly Amasa HOLMES — a lad 13 years old, son of Samuel HOLMES of that village. It appears that he was at work in front of the engine, piling wood, and was thrown by the explosion violently against the wall of the building, where the timbers from above — the roof having been completely demolished — struck him, mutilating him in a shocking manner. Three other individuals were seriously injured, but not mortally. The cause of the explosion has not been satisfactorily determined.

THE DIVORCE BILL - A bill has been introduced in the Assembly, and is exciting considerable discussion, in relation to divorce. The leading features of the bill are, that divorce may be obtained for the following reasons:
1..Adultery — as at present
2..Imprisonment in State Prison for not less than two years.
3..Attempting homicide, when such attempt was not justifiable.
4..Union with a sect which denies the marriage relation.
5..Insanity, for a period of five years.
We regret to see the proposition to grant a divorce in cases of insanity. It appears to us that in such an event, the conjugal relation should not be dissolved. Insanity is not a crime, and in cases of insanity, if ever, this relation should not be disturbed.

SUDDEN DEATH — Miss Eliza Catharine McARAN, aged 19 years, residing in Washington city, on Tuesday last, in ascending a pair of stairs, her mouth filled suddenly with blood, and on descending to the room where her mother was sitting continued to eject blood until she expired.

THE MURDER OF MRS. WALKER IN N. Y.

The New York papers contain the proceedings of the investigation of this case before the Coroner’s Jury on Friday last. The evidence is somewhat voluminous, and we propose to give only such parts of it as are pertinent, much of it being, as in all such investigations, but repetitions of the same facts.
It appears from the testimony of Mrs. Eliza H. WELLS, an aunt of the deceased, that the maiden name of Mrs. WALKER was Martha Eliza BLACKWOOD — that she was first married in 1834 to Charles F. MILLER, with whom she lived about eight years. They separated, and about a year after the deceased obtained a divorce from him in the State of Connecticut. After obtaining the divorce she remained in Connecticut a short time and then went to Yonkers, where she lived until her marriage with the accused in 1846. She then came to new York and resided with WALKER as his wife. They next to St. Louis, remained there two years and returned to New York, and lived at 422 Greenwich street. After living there a few weeks the deceased went to live with her aunt, Mrs. WALKER. Mrs. W. further testifies as follows:
Mr. WALKER has visited her sometimes; he has called two or three days running, and sometimes he would not call for ten or twelve days; never remained all night; only went into the parlor; I think I never was present when they were together here; I don’t know whether any difficulty ever occurred between them when they were together; she has told me that he would make great professions of attachment sometimes; she said she tho’t his family were not her friends; she told me that Mr. WALKER denied that they were married; I think she did not tell me that Mr. WALKER exacted from her any professions or statement relative to their marriage; she never said anything about his wanting her sign a paper; she told me that she wanted him to sign a paper, acknowledging the time when they were married; he refused at first at another time she told me that he had offered to sign it; he did not sign it; she did not tell me but once that he had promised her to sign the paper; she showed me the paper; I first saw at three or four weeks ago. He was here the evening before the deceased was injured; the deceased spoke to me about a pistol some weeks since; she said Mr. WALKER had a pistol; that she had it in her hand, <snip> didn’t get the rest.

BOY BURIED ALIVE — The New York Tribune gives an account of finding the remains of a boy seven years old, who was lost in August last. He was missed by his playmates, and never found till last Friday, when he was dug out from a sand bank, where the poor little fellow must have been buried alive by the falling in of the bank. He was a son of Francis RILEY.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY - MURDER - SUICIDE, AND CONFLAGRATION

Warren, Bradford Co., Pa., March 11, 1849
Messrs, GREELEY & McELRATH: I have just returned from the scene of a most horrible tragedy which took place last night. About midnight Mr. Wm. MANNING of this place saw a blaze of light in the direction of the house of Charles CORBEN, one of his immediate neighbors. He at once gave the alarm and hastened toward it. He found both house and barn wrapped in devouring flames. It appears that there were at the time only three persons in the house. Mr. CORBEN and his two sons, one seven and the other thirteen years of age. Judge of the horror of the benevolent neighbor, when he saw that the room occupied by the children had just fallen in, and on the straw bed, not yet consumed, lying among the ruins, were the disfigured and scarcely recognizable remains of the two boys; their limbs were already burnt to ashes. The body of the wretched father lay near them on his back, his body s- -darly mutilated by the fire. It was too late to stay the conflagration. As soon as possible the almost formless cinders were removed. It could be seen that the father had cut his own throat after firing the house. There is no doubt in the minds of the neighbors that he first killed the children or stunned them by a blow on the head. He also tied up eighteen head of cattle and one horse in the barn previous to setting it on fire.
The motive of this fearful crime is thought to have been a brutal ferocity excited by hatred of his innocent and affectionate wife. He had often threatened her life and last Thursday, alarmed at his menaces, she escaped and went to Oswego. He then went and on pretense that his wife was dangerously ill persuaded his daughter, who had also fled from his cruelty some months before to return to the house. There he confined her, treating her like a fiend, till yesterday afternoon, when with difficulty she again escaped. Immediately after he must have proceeded to carry out the horrible purpose whose results I have above described.
     Yours, respectfully,    H. W.

A DOUBLE EXECUTION AT TROY — To-day the extreme penalty of the law will be executed on Andreas HALL, who was convicted in January last of the murder of the wife of Noah SMITH, in Rensselaer county in July 1849. The evidence on the trial was entirely circumstantial, but HALL has made a full confession of that crime, and of the murder of a young man who was traveling with him two years ago. The youth had money in his possession. HALL pretended that he had left him at Buffalo. He confesses, also, that he had set fire to buildings in Troy. The murderer is only 24 years of age.

At the same time and place, Barney O’DONNELL will be hung for the murder of an Italian, named Antonio RATTO. O’DONNELL killed RATTO in order to obtain possession of a hand organ owned by the latter. The property was found on the murderer, together with such other proofs as left little or no doubt of his guilt.--[Utica Herald]
