From the Philadelphia U. S Gazette
Wo received a letter this morning from the
counsel of Mr. Wood, the unhappy man now
in prison for tho murder of hie child. We take
from it the following extracts.
To the Editor of the Philadelphia Gaulle.
Dear Sir.
We doeire to rectify eomo ol the errors of the
press, with respect to the melancholy occurrence
of yesterduy, which bear hard upon the prison*
•r mid his dislructed family.
The fact is that .dr. W. was a positive, fren-
tied maniac token he shut his child. There is
nbuHdunce of evidence about il, mid it will be
made clear unless the press takes captive tha
public mind aud denies him a fair tiinl.
Mr. Wood was attentive am) kind to Ins
dnttghtcr from the hour she te enteredhia house
and prior to the marriage wus devotedly ullec*
tiouaie teller. Tho lit of insanity that happen,
ed on Monday was Ihe first moment of other
feelinge.
We have teen Mr Wood to day; he can re
member only faintly, as a dream, llieeventiof
yesteidny; ho does not remember, even in what
part of iho heuso the act took place. He is to*
ictably composed today, but in a state or the
moat poignant grief. Yesterday the Sheriff or*
dered two mem to be atationed in his cell, to
prevent him front doing violence to himself; his
coudiion of insanity and wildness was so
remeiknble. This is not tho first attack of iu'
sanity he has suffered under; he sustained n
similar alienation of. mind some two years ago*
Yours, rospectfully, • •
Ad. WiLt.is G. Clark, Esq.
There is one circumstance with regsid to
the hapless Mr. Wood—whose bloody act
has excited so much interest for the past twenty
four hours in this community—which ameng
those who knew him by sight could scarcely
have escaped observation. Ilia face always bore
the impious of much thoughtfulness, care, end
solicitude and the marks of ill health beside.

and sometimes deadly so. We have always

in the rates to Liverpool, aud little or nothing
