MURDER BY DRowNING-lhe Coroner held an
inquest on Saturday or the body of Hugh Buskirk,
who was drowned in the Buffalo creek on Friday
night. The verdict of the jury was, 6 that he came
to his death by being thrown the creek by Sa-
muel Langredge, principal, and James Warren
| and Peter Hackett, as accessories" The crcum-
stances OF the case, as near we gather them,
were as follows: On Friday evening, between ten
and eleven o'clock, the deceased. with another in
dividua, came into recess on Ohio street. where
the prisoners were, and alteration commenced
between them. Alter a while the prisoners Liam
gredge, Warren, and Haskett,) got up to leave The
place, the dispute being still continued, and upon
Buskirk making motion to follow, Langredge
was heard to threaten to throw him into the creek.
Buskirk did follow, and shortly alter the alarm was
heard OF "a man overbeard;, a crowd collected and
a light was procured Langredge was observed at
the waters edge, and the deceased struggling in the
water. AT this juncture by some unseen agency,
the light was evidently put out OF purpose; all was
darkness for a moment-apd finally, when lights
were again procured, the drowning man was past
recovery. The watch arrested the three lndvi-
duas before mentioned, who are now IN prison.
