.1 Shocking 'Murder.
The details of a murder that has few
parallels iu the annal of crime, are thus
given in the Morgan, Alabama, Observer.
We are informed from private sources,
that on last Saturday, a poor man who was
moving westward with his wife and three
little children, and driving a small drove
of sheep and perhaps a cow of two, which
driven by his family; on arriving in Flor
ence, and while passing through, met with
a citizen of that place, who rode into his
flick & caused hint some trouble to keep it
together when the mover informed the indi
victual he must flat do so again or he would
throw a rock at him, upon which some
words ensued, and the individual again
disturbed the flock, when the mover, as
near as we can learn, threw at him, upon
this the troublesome man got off his horse
went into a grocery, get a gun and came
out and deliberately shot the poor stran
ger in the presence of his wife and little
children. The wounded man then 'made
an effort to get into some house, when
his murderous assailant /overtook and
stabbed him to the heart with a bowie
knife. This revolting scene, we are in
formed, occurred in the presence of many
citizens, who, report says, never even
lifted their voices in defence of the mur
dered man. The blood of the stranger
rests upon them; and the cries of a wid
ow and three poor little orphans, among
strangers, who suffered a father's blood
to be spilt for so trival a cause, must cer
tainly pierce their hearts, and send the
vengeance of remorse to the guilty soul of
such a diabolical murderer.

From the Albany Journal, March 20th.

The following, letter gives the particu
lars of the murder of an unoflending citi•
zen, at a disgraceful debauch of the Loco
Focos in the town of ,Greene, Chenango
county, N. York.
Correspondence of the Albany Journal.
GREEN, MARCH 15, 1839.
Capt. ARNOLD HORTON, attended our
Town meeting on Tuesday last. After
the Loco Focos ascertained that their tick
et was elected they went hito Calendar's
Ball Room and sat up a yell and drinking
which soon attracted a crowd. Captair ,
Horton, among others, went into the room.
The cry was raised that there was a Whig
in the room, and a motion was made and
carried that the It hits should be put out,
whereupon a crowd gathered around Hor
ton, forced him through the door and over
the banisters and down stairs. They
then returned and reported that they had
hitched the damned If hig down stairs and
oped it had killed him. The revel was
continued without inquiry about the fat,
of their victim!
Captain Horton was taken up for dead.
Four bones of his neck were crushed.
His back was broken. Indeed he was so
shockingly mangled that Doctor Willard,
in his testimony, expressed his astonish
ment that he survived an hour. He did,
however, linger till the 9th inst., when he
died.
The Loco Feces were soon informed
that Horton could not live, but they con.
tinned their carousal. Indeed they soon
after sallied into the streets, and with a
violin and bugle, marched about, drinking,
shouting and insulting peaceable citizens.
[Our correspondent bears hard upon a
high Judicial Officer! who we regret to
perceive, was conspicuous among the ac
tors in this disgraceful and outrageous
scene.]
A Coroner's Jury, after a long and pa
tient investigation, have returned as their
verdict that Arnold Horton came to his
death by being violently, feloniously and
wickedly forced out of the room over the
bannister and down stairs.
Capt. Horton has left a wife and eight
children, who were in a great measure de-'
pendant upon him for support. The scene'
at Arnold s when the Coroner's Jury as
semb!ed, was heart—rending. There lay
the;lifeless, mangled corpse of him thus
murdered, in the prime of life, for no oth
er crime than being a Whig! In the same
room sat his broken-hearted wife and be-
Ireaved orphan children, weeping over the
remains of him who supported and protec%
ted them! Every effort was made by the
wretches who were concerned in the out
rage to suppress testimony and to overawe
the Jury. But the facts were too clear.
The Jurors, though unable to identify the
peasons who committed the murder, said
on their oaths that the deceased came by
his death feloniously and wickedly.
Capt. Horton was an honest, tinoffend
ing man. But his murderers are now slan
dering him. The men who were engaged
in a drunken carousal themselves, say
that their victim was intoxicated. If this
were true, is it a reason for committing
murder?—Had that rule been aeplied to
all, poor Horton would have died in distin
guished company.
Leech's Line.—ln a conversation with
David Leech, Esq., the public spirited, 1 ,
gentlemanly, and enterprising proprietor
of the Transpertation Line between this
city and Pittsburgh, via the Pennsylvania
Canal, we were gratified to learn thatpre
parations are in such a state of forward
ness, as to render it probable that the Pac
kets will commence running in the course
of two or three days. Mr. Leech informs
us that little interuption, it any, will at
tend the opening of navigation. The
boats will start shout the 16th, and by
the 19th, he anticipates an uninterupted
passage along the whole line. We are
aware that the diameter of this Trans
portation Line is already too well estab
lished to receive any great service from
commendation at our hands. Mr. Leech
has earned a reputation for perseverance
and indefatigability, in his aqustic voca
tion, similar to that at one time accorded
to Lord Admiral Reeside, for the excel
lence of his stage coach arrangements.
The principle business done nn the Penn
sylvania Canal, is entrusted to the com
pany of which Mi. Leech is the head and
front, and by the by, a formidable one he
is. His Packet Boats are large, well fur
nished, and comfortable, and the prover
bial politeness, and urbanity of the cap
tains, with two of whom we are slightly
acquainted Messrs. Voglesong and Leip
hart, heightens the pleasure of traveling
by this conveyance in no slight degree.
The most ample arrangements have
been made by Leech & Co., to commence
vigorous operations in the transportation
of merchandise. Anticipating a heavy
spring business, and favored with the,
prospect of uninterupted navigation on)
the canal, they have made corresponding
arrangements. Persons desirous of tra
versing our line of noble ',state improve
ments, in the journey to the West, will
be delighted to find in the packet boats,
the finest accommodations which can be
afforded; excellent dinners, rivalling in
' the choiceness of the viands, and the per
fection of the cookery, the dinner tables
at our best hotels. We speak experimen
tally,aod if any there be who pretend to
gainsay this, our testimony, all that we
can reply is that they did not happen to
meet with the Boats of Captains Leiphart
and Voglesong.—Philadelphia Star.

The last tribute has been paid to de

community. All that is mortal of our
revered and beloved friend, was yesterday
deposited in the house appointed for all
lie living. As you may well suppose, a
;loom overspreads the cityof Middletown;
the conviction having taken a deep hold
upon the ininils of an immense multitude
that "a great man has fallen in Israel,"
and that not only their flourishing insti
tution, is deprived of its head, but that
( they have lost a common fatter, counsel
lor and friend.
I need icarcely say to you that he died
as the Christian died—"full of faith and
orthe Holy Ghost." "Having served his
own generation by the will of GoJ he has
fallen asleep," and now rests from his la
bours among the blessed and illustrious
dead.
Truly, a bright light is extinguished.
A star of the first magnitude is seen no
more in the firmament of the visible
church; but is now taking a higher, holier
and widen range in the unseen distance,
even within the veil of that glory into
nhich we cannot look.

IMPORTANT DECISION FOR PUBLLSNERS

"That if a subscriber to a periodical

The Newark Advertiser says:—"A sa

the cover of darkness during some night
of this week in the Alsey St. burying
ground, by some human Hyena upon the
grave of the late Dr. Jameson, the tomb
stone erected to his memory by J. W. Par

mutilated, and the grave itself stripped
of its covering. Ihe individual who
could thus atrociously violate the sanctity
of the grave, must be utterly destitute of
every feeling of humanity, capable of any
wicket:nes whatever, and should be ex
cluded from all human intercourse, and
bear the brand of infamy, imprinted on
his forehead by the finger of public scorn,
as a warning to all evil doers, and a mark
of caution to those who might otherwise
be deceived by him,"

The important Presbyterian case which
,has se long occupied the Supreme Court
in Philadelphia, has been decided in favor
of the New School. A motion was made
tur a new trial. We purpose publishing a
'brief report of the case next week.
The Lancaster Murder.
Some time since, we selected an ac
count of this inhuman butchery, for pub.
lication, but some good natured friend bor
rowed the copy; and finally lost ,it. We
will state the facts, in the case, from rec
collection, and as briefly as possible.
On the 27th Feb. the body of a man was
found near the Lancaster race course;
which ; had been there apparently some
weeks, having fifteen stabs and cuts, a
bout the head, neck and hands, (as receiv.
ed in defending himself.) It proved to be
the body of a German pedlar, and it was
supposed that he had been murdered for
his money. ( about 1000 dollars) All
!surmises as to the guilty perpetraor ,
seemed to be made in the dark. Latter
ly, however, the inscrutable hand of Prov
idence, seems to have pointed him out.
And there are strong circumstances which
seemed to say of the suspected ,"thou art
the 'man ." He has been traced to
several houses in Philadelphia, at each of
which he stayed but a short time; finally
taking passage for New York, whither the
police men followed him, and it is hoped
have secured him already. He is a Ber
man stoutly built, and while staying in
Philadelphia, had on the coat of the mur
dered man.
More Reform,
We learn by the Williamsport Repub
lican that the present Canal Board have
created a new office at that place. A
Collector's office at Hilliamsport—A Col
lector's office on the Summit!! The tolls
collected at both will not pay the sallary
of one. This is economy, this is reform.
What a consistent party. For three
years they denounced Joseph Ritner for
increasing officers! They have commen
ced their administration by making inure!
Did we not tell the honest of all parties
that Porter would do all, and more of it
than Ritner did? Ritner was a farmer,
and his successor is a politician, who is
using his power and patronage now to el
evate himself again. Every unprinci
pled knave in the party must have an
office. Make a new office and give some
hungry office grabber a snatch at the peo
ple's money. Pay off your dog-keepers!
there is a day of reckoning at hand.—
You profess a great regard for the pee
:ple's money! Yet when you have the
'power, you scatter with a frugal hand the
people's tax amongst your greedy par.
tisans; and then to throw dust in their
eyes! you cry out reform, retrenchment
and economy.
Already have these iconomists Increa
,
I lsed the State debt nearly three millions of
dollars, though but three months in office .
They now isk for two millions more for a
plunderfund—then they will say Joseph
Ritner done it all. They said the extra
session of 1836 cost the dear people $6O,
000; and what do they do? why just the
same thing; without any cause. Yet
strange as all this may appear, there are.
some ,honest men who are deceived by
their continual bawling out reform'.
Good News,
The faithful and loving subjects of the
'present Governor, will be pleased to learn
!that he has arrived safely again among
l i his former friends. And such of them as
!have been somew hat disappointed in their
expectations, as to the honesty or econo
my of the course pursued by his adminis
tration, will be able to hear him excuse
it all away. The most perfect kindness,
and cunning, will be used to gull them in
to the belief, that every thing is for the
best. We can tell him however in ad
vance , that his cunning will :not al
ways succeed ,--"a burnt child, dreads the
fire;' and "soft sawder" will not answer
as well now, as it did before he broke hi s
thousands of promises to individuals.
If he possessed the wand of a wizzard,
it would require more than all its virtues ,
to satisfy the:people, that he has not
dictated every appointment, oldie' of the
canal Commissioners, or the Supervi_
tsers; even the Lock-keepeis, have had
their noses chalked by his hand—without
it, a poor fellow must step back. It is a
notorious fact.—Yet we have no doubt,
that every means will be used to make
them all believe, that he had nothing to d o
with it—some however know better.
We can fancy now, the familiar shake
of the hand, 'and the complacent kindly
look of the Governor, (as meets some of
his promised friends) as much as to say,
•'1 done all I could for you, but the Com
missioners were obdurate;" while a lur
king devil in his eye watches to see how
the salvo takes. Have you been an ap
plicant for office, call on him, and if you
are worth retaining; mark how friendly he
will be! How sorrowful he looks, to
think you were not appointed. Mark the
sly leer of his eye, when he thinks the bait
takes. Has he got as much out of you as
he wants. The cold look which says "I
am Governor now!" will be observed as
he bids you a passing, ..how do you do!"
But notwithstanding, the news is good.
For some will be rejoiced to see him, and
will bow and kiss the ground, because he
commanded their appointment. Others
because they can see if he looks as he did
when he was launching his censure against
Ritner, for appointing Printers making
