BARBoURsvILLE, w. VA, June 2s.-Great
excitement prevails in this community over
the death OF Hon. j. II. Mitchell, marshal
Of Huntington, who was murdered, as an
nounced by telegraph, yesterday.
Turner is still living, but is not expected
to recover. He has made his will. He is
still at Mr.. Burdett's, near Hurricane,
where he was shot. Five hundred dollars
reward was offered by the Mayor Of Hunt

at Middleport, Ohio. He crossed the ferry

as the same. Great anxiety existed all the
morning with the people Of this place and
Huntington awaiting arrival Of the steamer
with the murderer aboard. At P. n. the
steamer Ohio, No. 4, made her appearance,
when the wharf-boat was thronged with
people. The murderer soon came out, and
was identified Immediately by several.
He was taken by the train uia the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway at 6 O'Clock to Put

Very little encouragement would have
organized vigilance committee resulting
in their taking the law into their own hands,
and it is thought they will lynch him yet.

damage done.
