At quarter before ] o'clock Christmas
morning. several people living in and near
Province street and court heard several
pistol shots in rapid succession, followed
by heavy blows as If with dull instrument.
There were also loud. sharp cries aud
groans, ending in sort of noanin. sound.
and the stiffness OF midnight succeeded.
On going TO the place the officers found a
man of wild appearance at the door who
said There has been "A murder in here -
The officers then asked him where the
murder had been committed. ''In this
ROOM was the reply, rs he pointed to the
front shop. The door was locked, but was
Immediately opened. The offlccrs entered
and lighted the gas, and there lay upon the
floor the murdered man. His head was w.
ing in a pool OF his own blood, which had
also been splashed all oyer the floor and
the benches and lathes of the lock smith

ers. and lay almost Hat upon his back. At
first sight the man seemed almost dead
but as his face was watched the blood was
seen TO oOze Il. and Qgt Of The terrible
wounds that covered him about the neck,
and occasionally u slight motion of the
chest was observable. But, though not
quite dead, 1t was clear that death must
surely come. and, seeing that it was impos-
sible to render any assistance to the man,
the officers took the murderer to the sta
ton, where he gave the name of Joseph I.
Hegner. A Ratchet covered with blood,
lay on one Of the lathes, and was taken by
the officers. 1t was common shingle
Ratchet, Of ordinary size and weight, with
handle about eight inches long. nearly
removed from the eye, as II some very
heavy blows had been struck; and on max
ing hasty examination it was observed
that the head was literally chopped by the
blunt blade. Had the instrument been a
sharp one the man would have been literal
ly chopped ip pieces. A pistol was found
on Hegner's person which had been dis
charged seven times.
The murdered mans name was Huttle
and from what can be gathered. the deed
was done while the victim was asleep, the
murderer being crazy at the time.

THE OLD AND NEW YEAR.
The old year is swiftly passing away.
very soon 1873 will be to us only dream.
Many are the joys and sorrows it has
brought us and we shall treasure them all
up, and hang them in the gallery OF our
memory. No one would forget the past
with all its battles and victories. When
the thought OF some sorrow pierces our
heart. in the memory Of the past can
always be found a comforter, for who is
there, that cannot recall some triumph or
recollect some great mercy which has been
shown them; SO we bid the new year well
come believing that it will have much that
is good for its children, but as we come
near to another station on LIES short
