DEATH OF JOHN HENRY.-We are sorry
to announce to- day that yesterday morn
ing John Henry, we'll known as the slayer
of Perry Lyons, died. Since that desperate
encounter he has never regained his
health, and was liable at any time to sue
cunb to a slight illness. The terrible
wounds he received then would have put
an end to a man OF less tenacity of life, but
since he left the hospital he has moved about
our streets for year, cheerful and hope.
ful. That homicide was not the only fatal
atfray in which he bore prominent part,
but no one ever accused him of wantonly
desiring to Undue his hands in another's
blood. Naturally of a. peaceful, kind and
generally atfectionate disposition, his faults
and his mist0rtunes have been the result
of association, but not OF education or
character. He never sought quarrel, but
his life led him into situations which were
sure to involve HIM in difficulty We believe
his life iustities his reputation, that he was
an atfectionate husband and a steadfast
friend. Ia none of the difficulties IN which
tae desperate character and fatal result
have made his name notorious, and MS
deeds almost made him an outlaw, has ne
been the aggressOr, and we are sure that
when the last of them occurred, although IL
was tue remote cause of his death, all VINO
knew both parties were glad John Henry
was once more able to breathe the iree
air again. All know, and his best frlenGs
regret his faults, but many kind woro VII,
be said to-day as he is borne to his maj
rest.
