MURDER AND SUICIDE, BY NEGRo.- By letter just received from the Post Mas ter, at Harold post office, Montgomery CO.,, we are informed of an extraordinary case of murder and suicide, by a negro man about 25 years old, the property of Mr. Jefferson Cunningham, of that neighborhood. It seems that the negro man, Peter, had for some time desired to marry yellow girl about 12 years old; but the girls mother objected.- On the 26th April, the white family being from home, Peter, having provided himself with razor, waited at the spring, to which he knew the girl would come for water; and when she came, he seized her, and severed her head almost entirely from her body, with the razor. He then ran of, little way into the woods, and with some strips of bark, which he peeled from tree, he hung himself.
