Murder OF Erick Janson, the Swede Prophet.
Gentlemen just arrived from Cam
bridge, Henry county, inform US that on
Monday during the adjournment of Court,
daring and deliberate murder was COM
mitted in the court room Of that county the
particulars of which are as follows:
Some difficulty occurred between John
Root and his wife, the particulars Of which
we are not informed Of, when she left him
and went to reside with Janson, her I'M
Gle. Root afterwards got possession Of
her, and was taking her home in a buggy,
when he was attacked bya partyoi Swedes
and his wife taken from him. Janson
than took her to st Louis, where they re-
manned until a few days since. Root
since the time his wife was taken from
him, has been preparing himself for ven
geance, which he swore to take, by pur-
chasing pistoals and shooting at mark.
On Monday the landlord at Cambridge,
informed Janson that Root was determined
to kill him. Root during the morning ses-
sion, watched for Janson, but did not find
an opportunity until after court had ad-
journed, when he met Janson near the
bar of the court, and asked him for his
wife, in English. Some other converse
ton took place in the Swede language,
when he again asked him for his wife,
when Janson told him, "a sow was good
enough for him. Root then drew pis-
tol, stepped towards him and fired, the ball
entering the left breast, Janson instantly
fell to the floor, and before the spectators,
of which there were number in the room,
could interfere, he drew second pistol
and fired, the ball passing through his
vest, in two places and through his coat
collar into the floor. Janson expired in
four or five minutes after the first shot.
Root was Immediately taken into custody;
and said, that "he had nothing more to
live for, he had accomplished all he de-
sired" His case was taken before the
grand jury yesterday and true bill found
against him. Root was then arraigned
before the court, and plead not guilty.
Jan>on's followers, the Swedes, took
his body, and many of them expect he
will arise, as he claimed to be the second
Messiah. He is to be buried to-day

We thank our friend ADAMS, Of Grand View, for
sending US, unsolicited, quite number Of new sub
scribers to the Hawk-Eye. This is the more graf
ifying, ~ few professed Wings of Burlington, un-
der the cloak Of n.e-u-fr-a-lity, endeav oring
to crafty their personal pique in attempt to pun
isA the Hawk-Eye. They'll certainly have the worst
oft. Such an opposition need only be known a.
mong our friends in the country, to lead many to
40 as Mr. Adams has done, and thus ensure for us
large accession to our subscription list.
Now is a good time to subscribe for the Hawk
Eye. This is the first number Of Volume 7tcelvc.
Two dollars, paid any time within the year, will do,
although that sum would be more acceptable in ad-
vance.
AZ soon as we can procure such press as we
are now seeking, we shall greatly enlarge our pa
per, without any additional charge to our subscri-
bers. The Hawk-Eye has earned for itself good
reputation, as consistent Wing journal, its circu
lation is already very large. and determined
to keep up with the demands Of the times, and make
such improvements as may be called for from time
TO time. We shall thus give our subscribers a
guild pro quo, or their moneys worth.
