A HoRRlBLE SroRy.--The following story
which II Is TO be hoped is more horrible than
true credited to the North Western paper publish
ed at Bryan, Williams county Ohio 80 person by the
name Of Andrew Tyler passing himself of an fortune
teller engaged Heckerthorn TO accompany him on
MS travels He was to give him fifty cents per day, and
pay mis- expenses Heckerthorn commence ser
vices by poisoning child the son of MIR - SCAMP
Of Jefferson township; they then leave the cou
ty for some time, until the excitement had died away
when yier was to return aud get something
for telling where the child In pursuance of this ar
ngement Heckerthorn prevailed upon the lad nc
poisoned candy which killed him he then disposed of
the body by thurstng it head foremost into opening
OF hollow tree and covering It with wood The
boy not returning the parents became and con-
menced search which proved fruitless until Wednes
Day when Heckerthorn who had been arrested the day
before on suspicion, confessed the crime and revealed
the circumstances above stated. The physicians who
made post mortem examination, stated that the
mach and mouth showed signs poison but that
evident from the fact that fracture in the skull was
discovered that the child previous its death had re-
ceived violent blow on the back OF the head Hecker
thorn Tyler and Levi Davis been arrested and
committed to jail The public had gathered BY We'd
nesday to the number of Ave SIX hundred and the de-
of excitement existing during the ina uest and ex
animation was most intense IL was with extreme diff
fculty that the could be restrained from aving
violent hands the fortune teller tearing him into
pieces Heckerhorn stated also, that Tyler said had

AFFAIRS IN New BRUNSWICK We have St
John papers to the I'd inst. The following para.
graph contains all that find of interest; again
have the pleasant prospect before boundary dis
pute so that New Brunswick Is fast being reduced In
size and Importance Between the Yankees Canadians
and coming ntruders perhaps the Japanese expect
soon to find the province bounded on the south and
west by the harbor Of St. John, the by Courte-
nay Bay, and on the north by Portland Bridge These
by no means improbable for should territory be en-
eroached upon, in coming years, in the ratio it
has been Of late years shall in very period Of
time be reduced to the dimensions alluded to-which
must strike eve ~ forcbly with the idea of a re-
Ashburton Treaty New Brunswick was deprived of an
immense tract Of the best timber lands she possessed
the lumbermen OF foreign power. The dispute which
has long boeu in embryo, and Is budding arises
Canadian interference II appears that within the past
month OF June number OF persons resident in New
Brunswick lat Madawaska), were served with common
processes in actions Of debt to be tried at Quebec
Whether authorities will submit to this we know
not; but the probability is that they will as usual ancy
themselves the intruders and after making
bic apology to the Canadians deliver up the territory
and end the matter This novel arrangement may ap-
pear odd TO strangers but toowoli paid well
ed and toomuch INDUCED officials for the most part
too lazy to consider the question: and therefore, settle
such matters with every despatch required
