His cane was found broken and his arms cut badly, which shows that he had a severe struggle with the villain. There is no clue to the murderer yet. ANOTHER MATCH POISONING -- A child of a Mr. SMITH, of Petaluma, was killed the other day by eating the ends of matches. A HUSBAND in NEED of PROTECTION -- ‘Alta’ -- Frederick BALLHAUS commenced a suit in the 12th District Court yesterday for divorce from his wife, Catherine BALLHAUS. The parties were married in March, 1843, and lived together till November 23d, 1860. He charges her, poor man, with extreme cruelty towards him, cruelty so extreme as to render it unsafe and improper for him to cohabit with her. He says she has annoyed him daily with the most low, vulgar and opprobrious epithets; struck him repeatedly, once in a house on Greenwich street, in 1857, with an axe; in September last, cut with a knife several valuable chains, and broke chairs, crockery and other furniture. On the day previous to their separation he charges that she broke a valuable table in their house on Lombard street; and on the day of their separation, with one of the legs of the broken table, beat him over the head and face, felling him to the floor, an amusement to which it seems she was used, having previous! ly knocked him down with a stick of firewood. To make the matter worse, the couple have 2 children -- Clarissa, aged 6 years, and Amelia, aged 2 years and 4 months. The wife is finally charge with following the husband into the streets and swearing at him like a trooper. >>Thursday, 6 Dec 1860>Friday, 7 Dec 1860
