Hicks was shot and instantly killed by

near as can be gathered, are these: Hicks
was doing business on a lot belonging to
the Roanoke Navigation Company, which
company is now defunct, The property
was sold some time ago at auction
for taxes. j. NJ. Foote became the
purchaser. The sale was confirmed by
the Superior Court, and is now before the
Supreme Court for confirmation. Foote
wished to move fence and put up some
buildings on the lot occupied by Hicks,
to which Hicks very streuuously OBJ
jected, and threatened to shoot the
first man who attempted to move
the fence. This morning L. F. Larkin,
partner OF Foote'S, Merritt, and others,
went there to lay the foundations. Larkin
commenced tearing down the fence prepare.
tory to the building, when Hicks came out
and commenced firing with pistol. Lar
kin was shot in both hands. After firing at
Larkin, who dropped back and was sup.
posed to have been killed, Hicks, it is said,
aimed at Merritt, who shot him with don.

horribly mutilated by the shot. AS soon as

ERIE, N. Y, November 22.--The Cum
berland, Canadian vessel, went ashore
lust above Presique Isle yesterday morn
ing. The United States steamer Michigan
went TO her relief in the evening, but the
weather was too thick to accomplish any
thing until this morning, when the wreck

entirely under water, and it was impossible
to get aboard Of her. No trace Of the crew
was discovered, aud it is feared all were
lost. The Cumberland was loaded with
lumber and rairoad.ties. The vessel went
to pieces this afternoon, and the shore is
strewn with the cargo. 49, :.

Affairs In Peru.

PANAMA, November l1.-The condition in
Lima is anything but favorable. A minis
terial crisis followed the capture Of the
Huascar. A new ministry was formed, but
it is safe to say they will not approve the
conduct of the war, and may provoke q
revelation and the overthrow OF Prado. He
has become unpopular, and no serious trou-
BILE Will be experienced in deposing him un-
less his soldiers at africa sustain him. The
allied armies are preparing for CHILEAN in
