Shocking Affair.—On Monday night, April 1, Mrs. Bachtle, wife of Christian Bachtle, of Canton township, Ohio, was murdered in a most awful manner: she was found dead in bed, with a gash cut on the side of her head, near three inches in length, through the skull, into the brain. It was the opinion of the physician who made the examination, that immediate death must have been the consequence. An inquest was held over the body, whose verdict was that her death was caused by blows inflicted by her husband.— Bachtle had been arrested ten miles west of Wooster, and lodged in Canton jail to await his trial. He made a confession of his guilt to the persons who arrested him.
