The Waterloo Affair.

The coroner's jury in the case OF John
knifong, found dead on the porch of the
woolen mill at Waterloo Tuesday night,
was examining the case today. A man
arrived at Lebanon this afternoon Just
before press time and reported that ten
or twelve witnesses had been examined,
and the jury SO far had not been able TO
agree, some thinking the death was
caused by an accident and others that
there was foul play. He set his lantern
down in the mill and vent somewhere,
it was thought upon the pore h, when he
was found yet alive but unable to tell
anything. 1t looks like foul play, but
there is no known cause for it. The
death of Knifong hence is as much OF q
mystery as before the jury met.
