heller, living in Williams township, directly

men, lahourers on the canal. who beat him 81,
violently, that he died on the "Wednesday fol-
lowing. An inquest was held upon the body,
and after careful examination OF il by the
physicians, the verdict was that ne came to
his death by the blows aud stabs he received
on the evening alluded to. The deceased has
resided 10 this neighbOrhood for three or four
years past, and bore the character Of quiet,
honest, and sober man. He bad some triHiHgs
difference with the villains who murdered him,
and they took the first opportunity Ofsatia-
ting their deadly yengeance. Ii gives uspleas-
IRE to state, however, that two persons, who
are strongly suspected of having participated
in the outrage, have been apprehended, and
there are hopes entertained that the whole OF
them will, ere long, be in the hands ofjustlce.
