The VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN yIRGrSu
CrTT.-On Saturday morning, March 25th,
committee of the citizens of Virginia City took
Arthur Perkins Heiferner from the county Jail
in that city and hung him. Some weeks since
Hefferner shot down an unarmed man, which
deed was looked upon as a deliberate, cold
blooded and unprovoked murder Since then
one Willis made a confession showing that
Hefferner had been an incendiary as we'll as .
murderer. Through the arson of a gang oS
fends, of which he was said to be the ring
leader, Virginia City has been made to suffer
the less of hundreds of thousands of dollars
within the last twelve months, and four lives
have been lost by the fires kindled by the
gang. The law seemed to be impotent to cor
rect the evil, and the citizens and tax payers
took the matter into their own hands Muir
derers and incendiaries are not To be longer
tolerated in the vicinity OF Virginia.

-r cambridge, PENN, June 5, 1871.
EDITORS CHRONICLES: Yesterday even
ing the body of some unknownperson was
found ON SWANS milldanl, about, three
miles above town, and to-day jury ofin-
quest went to the place and examined
him, but he had been so long dead, and
being almost totally naked, they were un-
able to identify him. They could tell that
he was negro, but we can hear of no one
being missed for miles around. A few
nights ago q negro went to house south
of the river and cruelty treated a lady, and
although diligent search was made, he
could not be found or even heard of after
this, and it is thought by some that this
negro Whom nobody knows,) after leav-
ing the house attempted to wade the river,
and being unacquainted with it, stepped
off into some deep hole and thus was,
drowned. Unless It may be this unknown
negro we have no idea as to who it is.
