A very deep feeling prevails in the neighborhood,
and the whole muni,y is much all cted by the
awful crime. Among the rumors, il is said that the
porier was received with evident marks of satisftc-

the public indignation should bc strongly directed

Indignation will take any other than strictly legal
form but is due to justice 10 law. aud TO good order
that the offenses in support Of which such crimes are
committed, should be put down.
