On Mond " nigh, last, John Vandng son
If Peter yondlins Of Shamokn lind, was so cru-
civ beaten and bruised as to deprive him of life 10
a few hours thereafter. The circumstances are
briefly, as follows: Mr.. Vandling left home in
the evening, in company with two Of his brothers
and several other young men, fr the purpose of
hunting raccoons. They proceeded very quietly
ON their way, until they came TO the farm of VIM
and Robert Hunter, in Augusta township, abou,
three mile. from this place, where they were rude.
" a,tsckedb by VIM. Hunter, Robert Hunter and
John Devany, aided by three or four women. Tho
gun which the young men had with them, was
w,estcd from the hands Of Mr.. Van1ng. who wa,
knocked down, it is supposed, with the butt Of the
gun. His head was terribly cut and mang'ed.
With the aid of his companions he reached hi, "a.
,hcrs house. probably three miles distant about ! 2
o'clock al night, weak an flint from the loss Of
blood and the blows he had received. Physicians
were Immediately summoned who drcs ed his
wounds, hut without any hopes Of his recovery. He
lived hut few hours after he reached home. The
deceased was young man about 90 years of age,
Of excellent character, Of peacealie and romarka-
bly, que, disposition We sincerely symPathiLc
with the bereavea family, who have been thus sorcly
afflicted in the loss Of a son by violent hands We
fprhear making any further remarks, as the case
will shortly lie Investigated before the proper ,ri-
tunal. VIM. and Rober, Hunter and Devany
were arrested next morning and, after an exnmna.
ton before Geo. Wciser, Esq, comrniued TO prison
TO await their Trial.

CT The following eStrac, Of n letter from
gentleman travelling in italy, conveys useful
lesson, which, we trust, will have due weight with
our ladies', who look upon the fashionable but,er-
fly figures in onr periodicals. as models Of perico-
ton:
ain form the Italians excel us. Larger, full
lcr, they naturally acquire finer gait and bear
ing. It is astonishing that our ladies' should
persist in that ridiculous notion that small
waist is, and, pr nCcesSta must be beautiful.
WHY an Italian lady would cry for vcXation
if she possessed such waist rs some of our la
dies acquire, only by the longest, pain'ue>t
process. have sought the reason of this diff
ference, and can see no other than that the l.
Italians have their glorious statuary continually
before them, and hence endcayor TO ossimllate
themselves to them whereas our fashiOnables
have no models except those French stuffed
figures in the windows of milliner's shops.
Why if an artist should presume to make sta
tue with the shape that seems to be regarded
with MS the perfection o. harmonious proportion,
he would be laughed out of the city. 1t is n
standing objection against the taste -four ladies'
the world over, That they will practically as
ser, that n French Milliner understands how
J they should be made better than nature herself
In another letter shall speak Of the manners
/ OF the Italian ladies', which is the real cause Of
