The Calais Advertiser says of Herb. Ea-
ton, the murderer: As to Herbert Eaton's
life there is no truth in most of the assertions
made. Instead of having an elegant sum-
mer residence with large number OF fantast-
cally dressed servants, fast horses, numerous
comrades, &C., he has in fast led an isolated
life He has seldom been seen in the city,
and has spent most of his time at modest
summer house costing, perhaps s., 200.
The Calais Advertiser publishes a commu-
nication in which it is contended that Eaton's
crime was not murder, since it lacked the
element OF Talace, and that he was properly
and necessarily admitted to bail for man
slaughter. The same article asserts that
Eaton will appear voluntarily at the April
term of the Supreme Court, and surrender
himself for trial,
