The body was (juite j cold, bhowiuir that the deed had been co.ninittcd j oinctiiiie durin;; the niht. A hatchet and a : hieiioiy c'.i'.b were tound in tin engine room stained with hlod, which, it is si;ipost.d, were ti ted to commit lh. horrible, dce.1. H is thought the attack was mam by several persons who had noiseless! v ap;r:ic!i -d him in t!ie daik. The .kull of his head Was broken, and a number of wouuds about the head were made with a ham mer and cluli, which no doubt c.m-ed his d-at'.i iustautly. T!:c murder va not eoiuinitted for the purjiose of rohliery, as all hit) ell'ects.evcn Lis watch, were undisturbed. A Her the murder was committed the fiends covered his body with his coat, in which position he w js found in th- morn ing. It is supposed that the deed Was commit ted between the hours of nine and ten o'clock in the evening. .Mr. Hesser had been in the habit of regularly Mi lking the hour?, but no one iu the vicinity heard the stiikin of the hour after nine. Mr. ilesser was forty seven years ot ae, and leaves a larj;e family. An inquest wa held over the remains on Saturday, by Esquire Ca!dw.l!,of Shunioki:i, tiud a verdict rendered that the de ceased came to his death by blows at the hands of persons unknown to the jury. Mr. Hesser was a popular and amiable mat., with few or no enemies. He was well known through the coal region, and highly esteemed by ull. He was elected, in 1S72, Coroner of the county, on the Republican ticket, and his term j would have expired on January 1, 1STC. The motive prompting this horrible murder must have been reveiitre. Iu that region mur der has become a science nuperior to the law, and the day must come when the law must be discard ed by law abidi-is citizen to effect that which the law cannot accomplish, the conviction and exe cution of every red handed villain known to be-lon-: to the organization called Molly McGuiref. The turn is feiuiiicuut of murder rot murder for pain, but of that character which has its origin in hate revenue. Mr. Hester was killed for the reason that he acted as a prominent wit ness iu the recent trial of tlribhon for murder, who is uow servins a term of eleven years in the penitentiary, and who was amemi'er of this mur derous -rang ; he was a w'.tn'ss also in e:-vcral similar cases. Tim people of Shamokin arc phrenzied w ith excitement in regard to this mur der, and have organized a number of committees of search and iuves-tiation. In view of the fact that in no instance, although murders are of dai lv occurrence, has there been conviction and i punishment, they consider the immediate lynch- ing upon the apprehension of the parties con- j cerned in this case, a necessary and i.gliteous punishment.

In his la-t issuo he disilavs more ignorance about the matter than we were willlug to concede tu him. Perhaps it j is more maliciousness than ignorance. He may have been iu want of something to bring again-t the present board of Commissioners, and tries to gull his readers with the idea that the Commis sioners had made the appointment of Scaler f Weights and Measures. He does not even kuow, or seemingly such Is the case, that the appoint ment is made by the Governor.

Mercantile Appraiser Cn'jr Rhawn, of Cat nrici. ; known character, the 'Printer's Devil. Almost ! since the lirst newspaper was issued it has been the custom for the youngest apprentice to issue au annual address, and it seems to be as impossible to break down the custom it is t'j abolish old Stuitn ('.'ill', at the meiitiou of whose name every little heart throbs with delight. Vou'v been once a Printer's Devil, Jake, and don't fancy revert with an exqniiito pleasure to the lar distant past, when you made your annu al round with the gladdening hope of being rc wardrl with a goodly supply of the sjonlv!us. pliame on you Jake : but this is just like you ; the man who forgets his youth will forget his friends and all the pleasant ways of life; he will ! deceit tul even in politics. The printer's d. vil, as he is generally termed, though dinering considerably from that world- ri'univ i dignitary, is generally of an ambitious nature, and, frequently springing from that cias who are not abundantly supplied with the 'needful.- and who more fiequenly lack the common comforts of iifc, starts at i.u early period in life wUoiiy dependent upon ins exertions lor ins sup- port. We seldom tind him dismayed although hard knocks and impecuniosity arc his fare from the commeiieeiuent to the termination of his de- vilship, nt w hich period his well earned educa tion tits him for almost any position of useful ness or honor. His principal supply of the -tlidU-n, as he terms it. during the early part of his apprenticeship, is the result of his own inge nuity, and the principal part of that supply is the proceeds of his annual address. The few peni.ics he receives from a subscriber for Lis ud diess on the advent ot a new year, arc remem bered by him as a starting point to fortune, and he always considers that he has given as much value for that which he receives, as docs the iten irant book vender when he disposes of his book at a stated price. This custom -.ras abandoned a few years u go by one of the hading pipers of Philadelphia, but the following year the subscriber of that paper made i demand for th.: annual address, deeming it worth more than hey paid for it, as it contained matter not published elsewhere, and they were not willing to dispense with so rich a treat. Siuce thou the custom ha been continued in that of fice. The addresses of the newsboys of this office arc furnished gratis, and they pocket the pro ceeds. Our expenses vry often amount to more than they receive. A contribution is always op tional with the subscriber. Iu some offices, wc regret to state, Ihe labor and material consum ed are charged to the carrier, thus, in many m stances, rendering his profits rather slim. This is discouraging to the boy. We feel sorry that the Ua'ihj of Wednesday's issue ignores this time ho nored custom, as the carriers of the AnttrU-an aud Guytlt have prepare! their addresses at conside rable expense in labor, displaying great care and skill in workmanship. To discourage the boys in their efforts, it bad policy to say the least. Lro Ampi tateii.-Mr. Johu Spears, living at west end of Spurzhcim street bridge, sustained a compound fracture of the leg above the ankle in fall of lMiO, by a car passing over ii while he was working at a colliery in Schuylkill county. For a number of years he has been suffering se verely from disease vt the b.-nes or the foot and ankle, resulting from injuries received then, and for the past two months h1' has been confined to his bed, during the last two weeks of which he has been attended by Dr E. S. Robins, who from the first decided that the leg must be taken off. After a time Mr. Spears consented nud accord ingly, on Tuesday afternoon last, Or. Robins, assisted by Dr. C. W. Weaver, amputated the leg midway between the ankle and knee in a most successful manner. The patient is doing well aud it is hoped that in a few weeks he will be able to be about again.
