At the Superior Cour. of surry County, held las
week, Judge Rubta presiding, Daniel Rash, young
man, aged 27, was sentenced to be hung Oh the 29lt
instant. for the murder of his own uncle. The cir
cumstabces attending the preparation of this unna
tural act were OF tbe most aggravated character ano
the cause which led to the murder, affords another
lamentabe instance Of the horrid deptayity ofhumar
nature. The wife of the person thus prematurely
deprived OF existence, although the mother oftweve
children, eioped from her husband with his guilty
nephew and it was proved on trial, that she urged
lhe nephew to kill her husband and in consideration
OF his services, was TO give him some inferior artise

Mn Editor in troabte.-No US, gentle reader, for
heaven be praised for all things, we are seldom out
OF troubles but some time ago Mr. Miller, editor
OF the Batavia Advocate, and Mr. Folle,t editor of
the Batavia Times, had sundry disputes in their re-
spectvc papers, as editors will sometimes have, and
MIR. Miller, among other serious charges declared
that Mr. Folett was tree.mason and added as we
learn, that he himself was free mason, but being
disguised with the craft was about publishing book,
revealing the mysteries OF masonry, and exposing
them to The contempt Of the world. We unaer-
stand by gentleman just arrived in town from the
west, that several hundreds free masons came into
the village, seized Mr. M. and carried him several
miles in a Wagon; he was rescued from hem. but
was compelled to give Up his manuscripts. 1t is
further said that three attempts were made TO set
fire to his printing Office and that his friends, after
attempting 40 conceal him, had finally determined
10 send him to Canada. Something OF the kind has
taken place, of which the foregoing is sketch. We
are sorry that the fraternity have taken this step
1t gives weight and importance to the ridiculous
threats OF the persons implicated. Silence and in
difference are the true weapons Of defence.
