J stand their business thoroughly, and make
things pass off lively. AT the close of the In

introduced, thoroughly discussed and adopt

Another Murder in Huron County.

Another Murder IN Huron County
The Murderer Gives Himself Up
On Friday evening last, in Ridgefield town
ship, about two miles west of Norwalk, man
named Godfrey Homer, known in Norwalk
as tho ono armed bus driver, was almost in
stantly killed by a shot from revolver, in the
hands of u young man named Chalmer Prem
tiss, son of DIR. o. Prentiss, of Monroeville
The particulars of affair as we CLEAN them
from the various reports are as follows:
Abougft haB-past eight o'clock, on the
evening aforesaid, two men droye~up to the
house of Mr. Hofner, who had ry.s.ied homo
a little whiIO before, and wit llihs wife and
some visitors were in the front room. One of
the parties got out of the buggy, aud going up
to the door knocked. Mr.. H. went to the door,
when the stranger asked for drink Of water.
He was told their well was dry, and they had
no water in the house, but he could get it by
going to Monroeville. Tho stranger grew
abusive, and was requested to leave. Mrs. II.
coming to tho door at the moment repeated
the statement that the well was dry, and that
there was no water in the house, whereupon
the stranger made some disrespectful remark,
and was ordered, by Mr.. H., to leave the prem
ises, and showed from the door steps, Mr.. II.
STOPPING down to pick up piece OF board
While he was STOPPING tho stranger fired upon
him, the shot taking effect in the right breast,
passing through both lobes Of the right lung
and the right auricle of the heart. Mr.. H.
staggered into the house saying he was shot
and must die, and expired in about twenty |
minutes after. The murderer Immediately af-
ter firing the fatal shot, ran from the yard,
leaped into the buggy which was rapidly driven
off, and all trace of tho murderer for the time
being lost.
Many rumors prevailed as to the cause of the |
murder, all of which proved unfounded by the /
subsequent developements. From the de- |
'cription OF tho murderer given blythe bereaved
wife, young man named Thoman Hunt, liv-
ing at Monroeville, was arrested, and commit
ted to Jail, and subsequently, two others were
arrested at Huron, who not giving satisfac-
tory account of themselves were taken to Nor
walk, but discharged before ezamiuation.-
Meanwhile the Coroner had cmpannelled q
Jury, and proceeded to an investigation, which
was continued until Saturday evening without
satisfactory results, and then adjourned until
Monday morning, when the examination was
resumed.
Shortly after the resumption of the exami-
nation, Young Prontiss, tho actual murderer
presented himself before the jury, and con-
jessed having done the deed. He was at once
AIKEN into custody, and the jury returned q
verdict that

THE War Jetl0eell the States, its Causes,
Charate,, Conduct and Results" By Hon. A
II. Stephens.
The National Publishing Co., of Cincinnati,
Ohio, have just issued the second and conclud-
ing volume of this great work. For some time
past there has been general feeling of ap-
prehension throughout the country that the
precarious condition of MIR. Stephens health
would prevent his completing the work, but
this apprehension is now removed by the fact
tnat the book is finished and in the hands of
the Agents of the Company for delivery.
This is a matter Of congrutulation to the en-
tire country. This book must from its very
nature, take precedence of all Southern his
tories of the war. The high position held by
Mr.. Stephens in the Government of the Con-
federacy, his great abilities as the first states
man of the South, and his acknowledged in
tegrity of character, make him perhaps the
person best qualified to tell the story of his
cause and its failure. His position as second
officer of the Confederacy enabled him to gain
much information which was inaccessible 70
the ordinary historian; the secret history of his
government is as familiar TO him as an open
book; and his constant and intimate connection
with the leaders Of the South, prepares him to
speak with accuracy of their motives, and to
judge acts from moro intelligent standpoint
than any other writer.
The history Of the earlier days of the Con-
federate Government, and particularly that
portion Of its existence at Montgomery, as a
Provisional Government" is given to the
world for the first time in these pages. Mr.
Stephens took part in the Provisional Con-
gress, as a delegate for Georgia, and was en-
trusted with many important duties. His
statements concerning these afflirs are of great
value. His narrative OF the Conference be-
tween President Lincoln and the Confederate
Commissioners at Hampton Roads, is the full
est and most valuable yet given to the public.
Mr.. Stephens was the principal negotiator on
the Southern side in these proceedings, in the
history of which the people of the whole coun-
try are so deeply interested. The vexed ques-
ton of the non-exchange Of Prisoners of War
is laid bare before the reader, and the peace
movements in the South are thoroughly ex-
planned
The present volume is narration of the
events of the War, and is as graphic and en-
tertaining as a romance, while possessing all
the higher qualities of veracious history.
1t will be certain to find its way into the
library OF every man who desires to hear both
sides Of the question, and future generations
viii regard it as the principal authority on the
Southern side, It is for sale by subscription
only, and agents are wanted in every county.
