A Young Lady Deliberately Shoots
Her Betray** Dffcd.
The quiet vUJ^fo of .Tar^ottavill?. Tfartford
County, Man^Knd, was thrown ini*. state of
the utmoatfetfjtonieut and confusion bj4 a
tragedy which, occ?rfedriu b\jpddjs<ou Sntttt
day ercoi* bxBju^bout 8lk"o*ctoesi.
Nichols* KcCoroa|, ?r'yo?iig man, living
about twolliles from the village, was shot, and
almost instantly killed, by Mis* Martha- J.
Cairns, who^ltjsidcs jfltc same distance from
Jarrettsville, but in a different direct ion from
it than the house of McComas. The accounts
given of the melancholy affair render it certain
that McComas seduced Miss Cairns over a
year ago, under a promise of marriage, and in
January last a child was bom, which is living
at the present time. Alisa Cairus frequently
importuned McComas to fulfil his promise of
marrying*, her, but by equivocations aud ex
cuses he evuded her requests until she felt to
ward him no other feeling than utter hatred
and determination to avenge her injuries. On
Saturday eveuing he had ridden into Jarrctts
vtllo for the purpose of attending a meeting of
a militia company, of which he was n member,
and at the time of the murder was in the
yard of the tavern. Miss Cairns followed
him to Jarrettsville, aud, arriving at the tav
ern, dismounted from her horse, fastened him
securely, and passing into the ladies apartment,
removed her riding skirt, her hat aud other
incujuibrunces that might retard hex move
ments. Leaving the ladies' apartment, with a
Colt's revolver in her hand, she walked di
rectly through the bar-room, which was full
of men. aud stepped out upou a buck porch
which overlooked the yard where McComas
was* Standing in the doorway opening from
the bar on the porch, she took deliberate aim
with her pistol at McCotuas aud fired, he being
scarcely ten paces distant from her. The bul
let struck him iu the breast, aud as he reeled
wildly toward the pillars which held up the
porch, she fired two more shots, neither of
which took effect. He clu-ped the pillars of
the. porch and cudcavorcd to sustain himself
by them, but weak from the rapid flow of blood
from the wound, his strength failed him and
he fell to the ground. She walked directly up
to him, and standing over him, fired the two
last shots from her revolver iuto his bodj, one
lodging in his right leg, and the other in the
groin. Still carrying her revolver in her
hand, she passed back through the crowd of
men, who, as if stricken sotibclcss by the awful
scene being enacted before their eyes, did sot
move a finger to bur her passage. Along tho
porch, through the bar-room, and back to the
ladies' apartment she walked without showing
a trace of emotion or a qualm of nervousness.
In the dressing room she resumed her riding
habit, aud again mouuting her horse, she gal
loped back toward bur home, and hud gone a
considerable distance from the village before
any one thought of following her. Mr. Jur
rett rode after, and joiuing her about a mile
from Jarrettsvillc, she asked him if McComas
was dead. He replied yes, when she said; "I
told him what I was goiug to do." She ex
hibited no signs of regret, and was apparently
as composed as if she had just finished the
most ordinary action.
On Sunday she rode to Bcllair and gave
herself up to the authorities. Miss Cairns is
about thirty, aud McComas was thirty-seven
years of ago. Both the parties belonged to
highly respectablo families, and held a forc
most position in tho social life of the county.
The ieeling of excitement iu regard to this act
of summary retribution runs very high in the
neighborhood, bub public opinion is generally
on the side of Miss Cairns. McComas is sup
posed to have been killed by the first shot
which struck him, aud tho last two shots were
probably fired iuto his dead body. Some time
since Miss Cairus brought suit against Mc
Comas for breach of promise and seduction,
but the caso has not yet. come to trial.
Latkr.?Miss Cairnes, who shot and killed
her seducer, McComas, last week at Jarrctts
viUe, Maryland, is still at liberty. Public
sentiment is so universally in her favor that
the authorities have not demanded her im
prisonment, nor asked security. She still re
mains at her homo, perfectly reconciled and
ready for any demand tho sheriff may make.
It is said that no jury could possibly be found
to convict her, though she owns to a deliberate
intention, long premeditated, if tho deceased
failed to make reparation by marrying her, of
taking his life.
The terrible Blackstonc tragedy iu Phila
delphia has been followed by one somewhat
similar but more sickeuiug iu its details. At
Oakdale Township, M inn., on the morning of I
the 7th instant, Mr. James B. Gray was dis
covered sitting on the steps of his granary,
with a rope in his hand, altcrnafcly screaming
and whistling. An alarm was given, and Mr.
Gray's father hastened to the house and push
ed opeu the door. His four little prattling
grandchildren lay upon tho floor side by side
covered with a quilt, with their throats cut
from oar to car, and their fnecs gashed and
out iu a horrible manner. Turning from tho
sickening sight, ho staggered back to meet
the gaze of his maniac son, who was advancing
towards him with a rope iu his hand. Closing
with him at once, the agonized father would
have added auother to the ghastly list of
victims but for timely arrival of assistance.
In answer to inquiries regarding his wife, he
said, '1 killed them all with the axe, und they
are gone to heaven. O, hntig me! hang mel"
Uc finally tuld them his wife was in the
granary. There the body of Mrs. Gray was
found with her feet to tho door, and her face
in u puddle of '-'.?????Ay with her Jell-^an ex
tended. The only clothing she had on was a
coarse cotton night-dress, a short rough coat
belonging to hor husbaud, which sho had
evidently put on to protect her from tho cold
uicrning air while she accompanied her hus
band tu the barnyard, and a pair of coarse
shoes, which in her haste she had left untied
Mr. Gray was taken to prison. lie says: "I
thought I was coming to poverty?that I wan
sick and would die sooti, *uu Xuui nay fa??ij
would bo loft destitute, and I thought it would
be better to sond them to heaven at once. I
at once took the grubbing hoe and struck my
wifo on the head with it. This did not kill
her, aud she soieamed terrible. I then stabbed
her soven times, and she w'as dead. I took
her on and carried her to the grain-house, and
laid her down on the floor. Her screams had
awakened the children, and Maggie came out
the door. I had a hard time killing her."
(Here he stopped to exclaim, "O, I tell you it
was the bloodiest murder on record!") "I
then took the axe and placed the other child
ren down on the floor and put my kuce on
their breasts, and took the head of the axe so"
(describing tho action, holding the axe by
both bauds and chopping down) "and cut
their throats, and almost cut their heads off.
I then put them side by side on tho floor, and
got n mpc and tried to hang myself, but I
couldn't succeed."
An Affectionate Story.?The following
is the account of a heart-rending circumstauco.
Head it if you can : We once saw a man near
10H, gazing at the *ry heavens, with a f in 1
ft?5?* and n ???\ of pistois in tho other.
We endeavored to attract his ntlOtion by
.ing 2 a I in ? paper We held in our A3F~, re
lating to n young man in that ? of the count ry
wdio left home in a stuS of derangement. He
dropped the f and pistols from his t&~ t&T
with the ! "It is I of whom U read; I left
my room b4 my friends knew of my design.
I-d madly from tho huuse, uttering a
wild ! 2 tho god of love (Qpid), and without
replying to the of my friends, aud cuuic
here with this f and ?, of pistols to put
u . 2 my xisTOcc. My case has no j| in this
?." 40tndc and 4bcarancc 11 required under
perploXing circumstances.
Jobit BlLMNUS on the Mli.e.?Tho mule
is half horse and half jack ass, and then kums
to a full stop, uutur dtskovcring her mistake.
Tha weigh more akordin to their heft, than
any other kreeture except a crowbar. Tha
.kaut hear enny quicker uor further than tho
hoss, yet their oars are big euufT for snow
shoes. You ken trust them with enny one
whose lite aint worth cuny more than the
mule's. The only way tu keep them iuto a
poster is to turu them iuto a medder jiueing,
and let them jump out. Tha are ready for use
just as soon as tha will do to abuse. Tha.
haiut got enny friends, and will live on
huckle-berry brush, with an occasional chance
at Kanada thistles. Tha aro a modern inven
shuu. I dou't think the Bible eludes tu them
at ull.
Tha sei for more money than enny other do
mestic animilc. You knnt tell their age by
looking into their mouths, enny more than you
kuuld a Mexican cunnon's. Tha never have
no disease that a gxtd elub won't heal. If
tha ever dio they must kum rite tu life agin,
for I ucver heard nobody sa "ded mule." Tha
arc like sum men, "very corrupt at harte."
I've known them tu be good mules for G
mouths, just tu git a chance to kick somebody.
I never owned one, nor never mean to, uuless
there is a United States law passed requiring
it. The only rcusou why tha aro pashaut is
because tha arc ashamed ov themselves. 1
have seen eddikuted mules in tt sirkus. Tha
would kick and bite tremenjis.
Enny man who is willing to drive a mule
ought to be exempt by law from running for
the legislutur. Tha are the strongest creturs
on earth, aud heaviest akordin tu their size.
I herd tell of one who fell oph the tow-path
on the Eri kanawul, and sunk as soon as ho
touched water; but he kept rite on towing the
boat to the next station, brcathiug through
his cars, which stuck out of the water about
two feet six inches. ? I didu't see this did,
but an auctioneer told of it, and I never knew
an auctioneer tu tell an ontruth unless it was
absolutely convenient.
The Scuppernong Grape.?A writer in the
Rural New Yorker thus writes of the Scupper
nonggrape "This grape is worth untold millions
to the Southorn people if they will but follow
the example of Mr. Hart, of Wilmington, N.
C, iu developing its culture and the conversion
of its juice ii to good wine."

Jefferson Davis.?A letter received in
New Orleans from this gentleman says: "It
has been my purpose to return this Spring to
what was my home, and if permitted to do so,
without injury or cmbarrassmeot to my friends,
to engage in some business which may yiuld
a support."
