remembered by our readers, that we published
Il few weeks ago, an account of the murder of

vernon of that State for the arrest of the mur-
derer $500 by the executor of the deceased
and $500 by the citizens, making a sum total
of the reward $1,000. The murder was per-
potrated on the nth of November, and was one
of the most aggravated character. The de-
ceased kept store, which was broken open and
! he murdered while asleep in bed. Suspicion
fell upon am individual, who was arrested few
