On Saturday morn., Rev. Dr. Maclise received an official notice by telegraph from the District Attorney at Albany, New York, seeking information about the marriage of a young woman named Rosalie HILTON who was murdered at Albany a short time ago. William McNEIL, the young woman's husband, is the alledged murderer, and is in custody waiting the action of the Court. Dr. Maclise sent a tlelgram in reply stating that he had married two persons of the name given and that the marriage was solemnized about the 19th November last at his residence. The man he said appeared with the woman at his house in the afternoon and from what he could learn from O'Neil, he believed he was a captain and had come from the U.S. to marry this woman. As near as can be learned, the victim of the sad affair belongs to the North Shore.
