MURDER.-Last Monday evening
a respectable female, named Erettna
Cam ingham, was murdered near
CharIestown,inCeci county. The pecu-
liarities oil the cir cumsiances nee ted
with this murder are so shocking, that
a recital of them would only serve to
wound the feelings of the friends and
relatives of the deceased, without pro-
ducing the slightest beneficial effect.
Every friend to social order must feel
irtere sted in bringing to a just PUNISH
ment the perpetrator ofthis norma deea'
To aid in his apprehension, we publish
the subjoined extract from an advertise
ment, which appeared in the Chronicle
of this morning, offering one hundre
dollars retrard for the detection OF the
murderer.-Fed. Gaz.
"The murder was supposed 10 nave
been committed by a nan who crossed
the Susquehanna ferry that evening
about sun set.--From what we could
learn, he is a man about thirty years of
age, five feet ten inches high, thick set
dark hair and complexion-had dark
green surtout coat, and a white KNAPP
sack, supposed to have been made of
tow linen, about two feet long, hlied
apparently with clothes. As the stock
ings of the deceased were missing, it is
supposed be has them. From the best
INFORMATION received, they were black
worsted stockings. The ferryman, and
the son OF Mr.. Coale, say that they
could recognize the man if theg again
saw him.

"America possesses a stronger hold
