FULL PARTICULARS OF THE HOR-
RID AFFAIR AT CAMDEN, NEW
JERSEY.

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.-An intense de-
gree OF excitement was created in this city
on Saturday morning, says the Phlad. U
s. Gazette, of Monday by the announcement
OF the death OF young man named Mahlon
Hutchinson HebertOn, at the hands of Mr..
Singleton Mercer Briefly, the occurren-
ces which led to this catastrophe, are as fol-
lows -
Some time since Mr.. Heberton became
acquainted with young girl, (where or how
1t is not wei lascertained) manned Sarah Mer-
Ger, daughter ola very respectable citizen
OF Southwark, not mere than sixteen years
OF age, and finally succeeded in inducing her
to leave her fathers roof She remained
with him for two or three days at a house in
the western part of the city, but from his
frequent absence from her during that peri
cd, she fell into such a low state of spirits as
TO induce fear of her committing self-de-
structlon. Information of her abode was
given TO her parents, and she was brought to
her home again. Her brother, Singleton
Mercer, threatened vengeance against Heb
ertoD, and went armed for the purpose
Finding that he was closely watched, Heb
erton, at the suggestion ofhis friends, deter
mined to leave the city, and for this purpose,
proceeded, IN company with legal friend
in a charlotte, with the curtains carefully
fastened down, to the Ferry at the upper
side OF Market street, and there crossed to
Camden. As the boat was being made fast,
the friend got out, and the instant after, Mr..
Mercer advanced from behind charcoal
wagon, and fired the contents of four of the
barrels of six barrelled Colts pistol into
the carriage. But one of the balls, however
took effect upon the body of the deceased !;
but II was fatal. The deceased was heard
to sigh but once, and on opening the doors,
he was found 10 have fallen forward ,nsen.
sIble-nor did he recover animation from
that moment. He died about ten minutes af.
forwards, at Cakes Tavern, which is in the
vicinity of the landing, Mr. Mercer was i'm
mediately arrested.
MIR. Mercer is lodged in Woodbury. Jail.
tie IS naturally enough in great distress of
mind.

THE END or THE WORLD.

The Rev. Mr.. Miller-who has so inter
preted certain portions of The Scriptures a;
TO pursuadc himself and many others that
the end of the world and the second coming
of our Savior are at hand-has recently
been accused of having altered his predic'
tons and postponed The period of the CRANE
consummation. This report having reach
ed his ears, he has written the following let.
Ter, which it seems but honest towards him
TO publish.
Dear Brother HINES:
At the request of numerous friends,
herein transmit to them, through you, a
brief statement of facts relative TO the
many stories with which the public are
humbugged, by the pulpit. press, and bar
room declarations, concerning the pr:nci-
piles | advocate, and management Of my
worldly concerns.
My principles, in brief. are, that Jesus
Christ will come again TO this earth-cleanse.
purify, and take possession of the same, with
all his Saints. some time between March 81,
le43, and March 81, 1914. l have never,
for the space Of more than twenty three
years, had any other time, preached or pub
lished by me. have never fixed on any
month, day or hour, between that time. |
have never found any mistake IN reckon
ing, summing up, or miscalculation. | have
made no provisions for any other time. l
am perfectly satisfied that the BIBLE Is
TRUE, and is the WoRD OF COP: and am
confident, rely wholly on that blessed
book for my faith in this matter. am not
Prophet; am not sent TO prophesy, but
to read, believe and publish, what God has
inspired the ancient Prophets to administer
unto us, in the prophecies Of the Old and
New Testaments. These have been, and
now are, my principles; and | hope shall
never be ashamed of them.
As TO my worldly cares, have had but
very few for twelve years past. | have a
wife and eight children; | have great rea-
son TO believe that they are all the children
of God, and believers in the same doctrine
with myself. | own a small farm in Low
Hampton. n. Y. My family support them
selves upon it, and | believe they are es-
teemed0frugal, temperate and industrious.
They use hospitality without grudging, and
never turn a pilgrim from the house nor
the needy from their door. bless God my

who need their sympathy or aid. | have
no cares to manage, except my OWL indi-
vidual wants. have no funds or debts due

DECEASE OF COMMODORE HUI

We regret to be called upon to note the
decease ofthis distinguished officer, which
took place after short illness, at his resi-
dence in this city, at an early hour this NOR
ming. The name and fame of Hull are a
like familiar and dear TO his countrymen :
On the long roll of our naval heroes is in
scribed no brighter name. He first taught
the worldithat the arrogant title of Mistress
of the Seas assumed by Great Britain, was
but an empty Name when she encountered
the Yankee seamen with anything approach
ing to an even force.
The gallant hero now sleeps in death, but
the record of his patriotic services survives
him in the hearts and memories of his ad-
niring countrymen.
