An EDITOR KlLLED.-it is with the deepest pain
that we learn OF the death, in q violent manner, o.
LvoSARD GIRBeS, Esq. Editor OF the Smithiand
tIIyl Bee. Our accounts are only from henrsa!
and are in some respects quite contradictory. One
statement is 10 the effect that on account OF pollt-
lea! quarrel with DR.. Snyder, growing out OF u
newspaper paragraph, he was shot down BY tina
person while walking in the street with his liuif
daughter. Another statement is, that on account OF
The before mentioned quarrel threats had passed be-
tween them, aud subsequently meeting in the street
cht took place. i'll which several pistols were dis
charged snd the tragicu result above stated brought
about. We knew mir. Gibbon well. He wss Tor
mary one of the owners OF the Dime aud when
we purchased hi. establishment, ne continued III
our employ for some time as foreman; and We can
aver, thar we were never acquainted with mlldrr
more peaceable, quiet and lnoiirnsive man. we
never could have ina Eed that he would have mel
his death in such manner. 4 noble soul mas mus
