The Shooting of Dukes.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, June 14.-The excitement
over the shooting of Dukes by young Mutt has
subsidized and there is a feeling OF relief.
Among the masses the question is What will
be done with young Nutt?" The people are
afraid to trust to the tribunal which acquitted
the murderer.
Hon. w. H Plsyford and A. d. Boyd, ESQ.,,
have been retained as counsel for young Mutt
and strong effort will be made to have Hon.
Charles e. Boyle join these gentlemen. Mr..
Boyle was waited on to-day by number of
Dukes friends who asked nim to conduct the
prosecution but he refused. 1t is a question
whether there is a member Of the bar In
Fayette county who would appear against
Nntt and the task will probably fall to the
district attorney.

have some idea Of our city aud its future pos
sibilites. How far this effort has been
crowned with success is for the public to de-
termine. We might at far less cost and worry
have published the customary advertising
sheet, with flaming pictures and gorgeous
puffs Of advertisers to corepond, but remem-
bering that papers Of this sort were regarded
as advertising lodges and therefore had
palled on the public taste, the LIGHT deter
mined to strike into new path. The LIGHT
has no reason to complain Of the prosperity
that has fallen to its share in the year 1855
on the contrary, it has much reason to hope,
self congratulation and renewed energy and
vim, and feels confident enterprise tells as
much in the newspaper line as it does in any
other business.

Holiday Edition.


This issue Of the LIGHT is presented TO
our readers and the public as our special holi-
day edition. There has in no sense been an
endeayor to make it statistical, and the matter
given is simply that which, in our opinion, is
of the most interest. The LIGHT is proud Of
this issue because Of the splendid illustrations
presented, its typographical appearance, and
particularly OF the liberalty Of our adver-
tisers. Besides the great number Of papers
we issue, we claim for our patrons
better reception and more con-
sideration at the hands OF our
readers by reason Of the clean, neat and
attractive appearance, and the enterprise dis
played by the LIGHT, than they can, or hav c
obtained in the same class Of issues made by
other papers. An advertiser wants his ad-
vertisement read, and he wants it to 60 to the
public like he demands his breakfast, in a
tempting condition and piping hot. This is
what we claim for this issue, and we leave it
to the public Il we have not fulfilled all the
promises made, and given paper that is in
fact credit to San Antonio, and to the BUSH
ness men Of the city in particular.
