A Horrible Murder. Wo learn from

tim ore Sun, that on Saturday last, a shock
ing affair occurred in tho neighborhood of

quarrel. Some throats, it is said, wero pas
sed between them whou Ililleary went to
his house, got his gun, and when within a
few yards of Magrudor, discharged the gun
nt him three of tho shot taking effect in
the forehead, the'remahtler passing through
the hat. We havo yet to record the moit
chocking part. Afior shooting tho young
man, Ililleary ordered one of hie negroes
to hold him, while lie, with the butt end of
his gun, literally knocked out the man's
brains ! Ililleary, says the Gazetto, lias
heretofore stood fair in the above place, and
has many respectable relatives.

to a dam, only a few feet from tho cataract,
where the boat grounded slightly and hung
like a balanca. He remained in this peri
lous situation for four houra, whou he was
lescued by some friends attracted by his
cries. Had there been two inches mors
water on the dnm.er a brisk wind, ho would
have been piecipitated down tha falls, and
dashed to atoms. Spirit of the Times.

hare not yet become- auxiliary, tako tho
proper amps to oeconio so. All that is re
quired of any society to become auxiliary
is, that thoy send on their delegates (what
number they please) with a copy of their
constitution and report' The report should
contain the number they havo in the society
the number of teniperato men within
their bounds who do not belong tho num
ber nt moderate crinkcrd anil of habitual
drunkards; the numbar of stores who sell li
quors and who sell it not, and the number
which havo abandoned its sales during thu
year the number ot taverns, distilleries,
&c.; and any other information which
may be of interest to tho lemperauce
cause.
The annual meeting of the society will

of January in 1841, in tho Piesbytenan
Lecture Rsom, where ilia hoped thero will
