These further facts *fallen from the testimony) would only indicate a countin u ince of the previous excitement under which the individual labored, the farther facts which have been detailed (embodied in questions) are certainly, many of them, incidents which would appear to me not a little strange, would lead me to make inquiry in my ov n mind, and would seem the more extraordinary if I had no knowl edge of nor could conceive any probable motive or object the individual could have in being at the several places and bearing. himsell in the manner supposed, I say if I hail no knowledge of nor could conceive any probable reasons of this kind, I might be induced to conclude he was in a very disturbed state of mint!, and I should have the question of derangement in mind for further consideration, I du not use the words " deranged state of mind" as syn onymous with insanity; if a person was of ucrvious temperament, and had a sister, and she had been seduced, these facts would explain wh y he should maintain a certain bearing, he beingarmed, and seek• in; revenge, and having the engrossing idea that the seducer should marry his sister, would have an important influence on the conclusion I should draw, all the acts and appearances stated, with the pro vocation mentioned, would be indications that he was in a state ut mind which might lead me to apprehend that derangement might ensue; all these would not lead me to the decided conclusion of formed in sanity. Cross examination declined. The Honorable Mr. Mollison, Attorney General, having here no witnesses to offer whose testimony he, at this time, deemed I material, moved that the court adjourn. lle stated that the witnesses expected were to come from Philadelphia,and were not now in attendance because he, having expected the defence to occupy . this day and probably Tuesday, had given them liberty to return. This, therefore, as well' as the fact of 1.1. e defence having so sud denly closed their testimony, must be his, apology for his position. Judge Elmer regretted that there should be any time lost, and stated that it was with the utmost reluctance that the court would adjourn. Mr. Mollison and Mr. Carpenter ex pressed their regret, also, at the position i in which they were pheed. t, liFif s tnintei" be inirod , rced, the prosecution should now open the same to the court, Mr.Mollison said it was the intention of the State to place in evidence the whole of Mr. Heberton's conduct in this affair, inasmuch as such issues had been raised. They would also give the whole history of the acts and conduct of Mr. Mercer, show ing that he's did not dream of being in sane," and that no other person thought him so at the time of the occurrence; the State would show at what period his great excitement commenced and follow it up to its fatal termination. The most honor able testimonials would be adduced to snow that Mr. Ileberton was blameless and that not a single stain rested upon his, memory. The character of Me. Mercer should also be brought in proof ; and so tar from his being the mild, peaceable, and amiable gentleman which he had been here represented to be, he would pledge himself to show that he was quite the re• verse —that he was violent, vindicative, revengeful. .

What became at them we know not, it is presiim.d that, if unmolested, they walked to Camden. In regard to the excitement which existed before Mr. Rnisell's, the principal hotel, it is but just and proper to say that we have full con fidence in the assertion made by the Hon orable Mr. Mullison and by James C.

His Honor having concluded, he direc ted the Court to be adjourned until the Court should be called together by the tolling of the bell. ACQUITTAL OF MR. MERCER , •-•• • A-Irt• It was understood in a few moments, that the. jury had agreed, but there was some difficulty in finding the proper per son to ring the bell. After the lapse, however, of about twenty-five minutes from the time the jury had left the Court room until the bell had been rung, the Court re-assembled. The rush towards the door of the court house was immense, and the excitement appeared greater than any day during the trial. The court having been regularly assem bled and order restored, the dark asked 'he jurymen if they had agreed upon their verdict, to which each of them answered .‘ we have." The Clerk then asked, " By whom will von make it known ?" and they answered, By our Foreman." The said officer was about to address the regular question to the Foreman, when Mr. Carpenter hoped that, whatever thel verdict night be, the large audience which was present, larger than any day of the trial, would not indulge in any ex- I pressiun of their feelings. Ex-Governor Vroom seconded the sug.. gestion by a solemn appeal. The Court hoped that the auditory : would not desecrate the halls of Justice. The Clerk then asked—.' flow say you, is Singleton Mercer guilty of the crime wherewith he stands indicted, In man ner and form as he stands indicted, or nut guilty ?" To which Mr. Jennet, the Foreman of the jury, in a subdued but distinct tone, responded, NOT GUILTY." Notwithstanding the precautionary ad. monitions of the counsel and the Court, the mass broke out in a general cheer, which was continued fur many moments. Mr. Carpenter, as in official duty bound, moved the discharge of the prisoner, and was seconded by Mr. Jeffers. The mu tion was immediately granted. Mr. Mercer immediately retired to the residence of Mr. Sheriff Ware, where he received the visits of his friends, and was afterwards escorted, by quite a procession, to the private mansion to which his family have resided. From, the Harrisburg Telegraph of the 15th An Awful Deed ot Blood! We have never witnessed such univer sal excitement as our town and neighbor• hood was thrown in yesterday, by the re• port of the murder of Mr. John Parthemore, senior, and his wife, residing about three miles front Ilarrisburg, hear the Jones town road. We gather the following particulars from a neighbor who was one of the first that got to the house of Mr. Pnrthemore af ter the alarm was given, and there beheld the mangled corpses of these two victims to sordid avarice or ruthless malice. The family of Mr. Parthemore consisted of himself and wife and an only son, a young' man who left home in the morning to take some marketing to this place, which he disposed of, and returned home between) ten and eleven o'clock, A. M. &t who i can judge of his feeling when, upon nter-1 ing the house, the first object that to: his eyes were the mangled bodies of h:s pa rents weltering in gore upon the floor— his mother with her head split open and awfully lacerated, dead, and his father also mangled in a most horrible manner, in the last agonies of death. The specta- Icle overcome him, and he fell insensible to the ground: but upon recovering he attempted to raise his lather who had giv en signs of life, from the floor, and wipe the Wood from his beaten and horrible face, bat the vital spark had fled ; Ite theh gave the alarm which called together the neighbors, who took immediate measures to procure the Coroner, and to discover the perpetrators of this most foul mur• der. In the course of the morning two Irish men had been seen in the neighborhood, of suspicious appearance, and the day before two Germans, who represented themselves as pedlars. Suspicion fastened upon these as most likely to be the authors of the deed, and Sheriff ?mince, with commenda ble promptness and alacrity, started in pursuit, and last evening succeeded in ar resting the Irishmen, in Cumberland coun ty, who were brought before Justice Sny der, for examination. One of the Irish men was discharged, and the other taken to jail to await another hearing. This morning there having been suspi•' 'cion raised that the murder had been com muted by the son, a constable proceeded' to arrest him, but upon inquiry of the neighbors, being satisfied of his innocence, he returned. The young man, who ap peared greatly afflicted, offered every sat isfaction, anti expressed perfect willing , ness to undergo any examination. As yet the deed is veiled in darkness.' The murderers are unknown.
