THE MURDER OF Mr.. EMBURY Al FIsHKILL.-
The Coroner at Fishkll in investigating the circum-
stances attending the murder of Mr. Embury on
Saturday night last has learned that there has been
an enmty existing between a son Of Mr.. Van Buren
Of Pshkill Landing and the nan who was arrested
under suspicion. Mr.. Van Buren came up in the D

diately for home. He bad on at the time hat re-

THE COUNTY FIsAScEs.-The Committee on Ac-
counts OF the Superintendents Of the Poor made a
report at the last annual meeting showing that the
expenses for supporting the poor during the year end
ing 3lst OF July 1861, sI9 1872 se, being an in
crease over the previous year of $50 $50 o. This is
accounted for by the small amount received from the
Commissioners of Emigration $4,000 Iess
than during the former corresponding period-and
the large increase in the number relieved. Tie
Superintendents require $4,000 for next years de-
mands, being s5i 900 more than expended in 1861.

POSTSCRIPT.
SuS OFFICE, 3}S o'clockl
A. NJ. Doc. Alb

The report of tho Secretary of War, Just re-
ceivcd at this office, is too long for full publ
cation todny-Leing nearly of tho same length
as the Presidents Message. The main points
are the statements in regard to our troops or
these the highest number from any ono state Is
that Of Pennsylvania, 1873 and next to that
New York, 10, 333. The aggregate rises 10
the enormous force Of 1882 troops, and tbs
number, it is stated, would have exceeded
million but for the necessity of restriction BY
the Department.
Another point of interest is that pertaining 70
the disposition of slaves, which is published in
full 10 another column.
Appended are additional election returns 70
ccived up TO this hour.
