- HELLER, THE MURDERER.
Our readers will recollect that we recent
ly published a communication from the Post
Master of Liberty, in Union county, giving
au.occount of the murder of a whole family

county,in the latter part of February

the murderer, had his trial last week, in
"the Union Circuit Court, on an indictment
for murdering his wife Elizabeth: was found

the hours of twelve, noon and three, P. M.

The prisoner was prosecuted by Brown
and Perry, and defended by Ray and Park

ing., and was not concluded until near one
o'clock on the next morning. The jury
were out about an hour,and brought in their
verdict a little before 3 o'clock in the morn
ing. On Thursday, after the'court conven
ed, an unsuccessful motion was made to ar
rest the judgment and procure a new trial—
and on Friday morning the sentence of the
court was pronounced by Judge Bigger. We
say, without any qualification, that these
murders and the attendant circumstances
constitute the most extraordinary case that
we havii;eyer witnessed or heard of. We
have notleistire to set down fur our readers,
at this time, the jletails of the case, with
that minuteness which its magnitude and
atrocity deserve. The defence of insanity
was set up,and numerous instances of insani
ty, both in this state and Pennsylvania were
positively proven, both by physicians who
had attended the prisoner and by other intel
ligent and respectable individuals. It was
shown that he murdered a child in Dauphin
county, Pennaylvania,under the most appall
ing oircumstauces,-and had been acquitted
upon the ground of insanity. This fact
Wulf proven by a witness who was personally
awaroof it. The circumstances connected
with that murder were detailed by another
witness, as he had heard them from the
prisoner himself, in a conversation
,had with
in October Inst. They were, in short,

of going to his chamberto bed. The gen-
tleman and lady of the house persuaded and
importuned him much and until a late hour,
before he would consent to retire. At length
he consented to go. As he was passing up
stairs, he heard footsteps following him on
the-stair way: he passed on however, took
off his clothes, and got into bed, in the same
room where the little girl was sleeping.
Immediately upon getting into bed, the
door he had entered, openeda person_en•
tored—shut the door, turned round with his
back against the door, and stocd gazing at
him. Heller was greatly alarmed—but he
sprung from his bed and made at the person,
exclaiming. "The Kingdom of Heaven is
at hand!" He grasped at the apparition,
but it was gone. He then wheeled round,
jumped upon the bed where the little girl
lay, and commenced beating her in the most
furious manner. The gentleman and lady
below, hearing the exclaination,ran up stairs
and rescued the child. Heller ran down
stairs, and whilst he, was procuring an axe,
the three others ran down and fastened
themselves up in a lower room. Heller
broke down several doors to find them; and
whilst he was breaking down the door of the
room in which they had taken refuge, the
gentleman and lady escaped through a win•
dow. He entered the room and leaning
down at the window to ascertain from the
sound of their retreating footsteps which
way they were fleeing, lie heard soft breath
ing, and looking under the bed he found the
little girl hid under it. He immediately went
up stairs—took his pocket knife from his
pantaloons—returned—pulled the little girl
from her hiding place, and severed her head
from her body with. his knife.
After detailing the'iibove to the witness,
Who was his near neighbor, he went on to
say that he had long had it in his mind to
kill his own family—"but" says he, "I have
not as yet quite brought my mind to do it—
if I should, I think it very likely I should
come right offend kill you and your fiimily."
The above murder was perpetrated some
five or six years ago. Heller then after his
enlargement, came off to this country—to
Union county, Indiana. Nothing extraor
dinary appeared in his conduct for soinethin a
like two years. In the mean time he had
married a respectable young woman, by
whom he had the three children lie has mur
dered together with their mother. It is riot
known that the least difficulty had ever oc
curred between him and his family. The
wife and children were fond of hire, and he
of them. His fondness for his oldest child,
John Wesley, was peculiarly noticed by the
neighbors.
The first symptom of insanity noticed in
this country was about three years ago, by
a young man who was going home with him
on a Sabbath Evening,frorn a meeting they
had attended in Liberty. The young man
noticed something very extraordindry in his
manner—and was much affi.cted. At length
he asked him what was the matter. He re.
plied in effect that a superhuman influence
or inspiration was upon him. Soon after
he became very much exercised on religious
subjects—joined himselfto the United Breth
ren—took a part in their meetings,and made
frequent efforts to preach. He was soon
left destitute of most of the little property
he brought with him to this country—neg
lected to provide for his family—but person.
ally he was never known to treat them
roughly.
Witnesses stated that for several days at
a time, during the last two or three years,
he would act like a wild man or a raving
maniac—During that time he was twice ta.
ken into the care of the overseers of the poor
and kept for some time as an insane person.
On those occasions, the physicians pronounc
ed him insane—but his malady soon yield
ed to their prescriptions and 'treatment.--
During the last six months he has almost
entirely neglected to provide for his family,
who were during the time, with hint, taken
care of by the charity of the neighbors.
He would chop a little wood and place it
on the fire, and then sit by it for hours at a
time by night and day, with his head down,
apparently in a deep study: Thus sitting he
was in the habit of picking his finger nails,
and sometimes the flesh of his hands, until
the blood would come. He sat thus appa.
rently taking no notice of what was passing
—with his head down, picking his fingers,
during the whole time of his trial. He has
frequently of late expressed to his wife and
some neighbors, great horror of the poor
houss—stating that he would rather die than
be separated from his family.
Although his conduct was thus singular
during the last six months, it was not sup
posed that he was insane. He talked but
little, yet that little seemed rational enough.
On the morning of the murder of his family
a neighbor called in to see him, and found
things looking much more cheerful than
usual. Heller scented much more free to
talk, and did talk considerable about his
feeling much better than he had for some
time past, and about renting some land and
going to work on it. The neighbor left in
the family with whom was living a sister of
the wife, a little girl about nine or ten years
of age. After he had been gone, a man
passed along the road by the house whom
Heller watched carefully until he had gotten
out °Night: -The wife and mother was sit
ting by the fire, with a sun bonnet on, nurs•
ing her infant, about a month old. Heller
took his axe from under the bed, went to the
fire, turned round and commenced rubbing
the.finaers of one hand over the edge. His
wife asked hint what he was going to do—
he replied he was going to chop some wood.
About this time the woman told the children
to get some apples out from under the bed.
The two little ones immediately crawled
under the bed and the little sister-in-law
stood near the bed looking at Heller. She

one full blow about the chin and neck: Sore.
mg this she sprang to the door—threw it
open and fled for the nearest neighbor's be
tween a quarter and a hall mile off crying
murder as she ran. After she had fled Como
two hundred. yards, she saw Heller come

round the end of the house and took after her.
Heller states that after he had despatched
his wife he went out of the house and looked
leiter the little girl—that he then went back
into the house—his little boy came towards
him, when he split him down and chopped
hia, head off. He then dragged his little
daughter Sarah out from under the bed—
placed his foot upon her breast; she raised
her hands for protection and at the first blow
he cut (011ie fin g ,,s of one hand and nearly
took off her head. He then went and roll•
ed the mother off of the infant on which she
had partly fidlen, and cut its head off:
He then fled. There were several inches
of snow on the ground. His first steps from
the door were to one side in the untrodden
snow, and were distinguished from their
being made with bloody feet. The witnesses
thought from the tracks through the snow
that he must have retired from the house
about as fast as he could run. Alter going
about 150 yards he fell down--the bloody
prints of both his hands put out to protect
the full, being fund in the snow. He kept
up his rapid flight some quarter of a mile,
having stopped several times, as seemed
from his tracks, and looked back.
Having reached the highway, he took
that; and appeared to have walked from that
time on. He followed the road about three
quarters of a mile, then teok off into a lane
—followed that a short distance--took
through a small strip of Woods and again en
teredthe highway—and deliberately travell
ed on—it being a southerly direction from
his house, six or seven miles, when he was
overtaken. He made no resistance to the
apprehension, and returned without objec
lion. He confessed the whole matter, ex
pressed no regrets, and assigned no cause for
the bloody deed, nor has he ever assigned
any particularly, that we are aware of. He
went back and looked upon the mangled
bodies of his wife and children, calmly, de •
liberaiely, and without a sign of the least
emotion. He then talked and has continued
ever since to talk about the matter when in
terrogated, without the least hesitancy or
compunction. He thus talked about the
matter but a day or so betbro the trial--in
the presence of physicians who knew him
and had attended him when he was acknowl•
edged insane, hut who declare that they
think him sane at the last interview.
Such is we believe an accurate statement
of this most bloody, inhuman and unprece•
dented case, as we understand the testimony
detailed upon the trial. Much given in ev►•
dente is of necessity omitted, but the view
presented is, so far as we are able to give it,
a fair one. Much excitement has prevailed
for miles around the scene of this horrid
ransaction. The jury which tried the case
was probably as intelligent and respectable
a one as could have been had in the county.
Their verdict and the judgment of the court
seems to have satisfied the country—all the
circumstances being considered. Nearly
all, however, who know any thing about the
case, regard it as incomprehensibly myste
rious. Many who know the most about it,
say they hardly know how or what to think
of it. It is doubted whether the annals of
crime can produce a parallel case, and it is
devoutly hoped they never may!

ST. Louts.—The last number of the St.
Louis Bulletin gives a most flattering de.
scription of the prosperity of that place.--
During the week ending April lt I th, the
number of emigrants and strangers that
landed in that city exceeded 50001 The
larger portion of these were unable to obtain
accommod !lions at the hotels and boarding
houses, and were reduced to the necessity
of taking board and lodgings at the various
steamboats which happened to be in the port
at the time. So rapid is the increase of the
population and business of the place, that
stores and dwellings cannot be erected fast
enough to meet the demand for them; the
hotels are altogether inadequate to the ac
commodation of the vast multitude of stran
gers that are daily arriving in the city. The
Bulletin says there is probably no city in
the U. States where a greater equivalent is
offered for labor than in St. Louis. We
would suggest to some of our mechanics the
expediency of pushing for that country,'
where labor meets with a lib&ral reward,in
stead of subjecting themselves to suffering
here in the attempt to wrest from employers
what is deemed an adequate recompense for
their labor.—Batt. -Trans.
THE THAMES TUNNEL.—This stupen
dous work has been resumed. A new shield
has been constructed, which weighs 150
tons, at an expense of E7OOO. The length
of the tunnel has been already extended 18
inches. Of the £30,000 advanced by the
government, £lB,OOO remained in hand af
ter paying for the new shield, In the last
year 27,000 persons had visited the tunnel,
and the sum received was 41487: which is
an increase upon the receipts of the preced
ing year. It is now confidently believed
that withAiast experience the work has the
hest prospect of being brought to a satisfac
tory termination.—lbid.
The Boston Morning Post says, there
have been exported from that pelt since

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.-It IS a
maxim in life, &not in jurisprudence, that
"circumstances cannot lie." But how near
they can approach to the overt act of hear
ing false witness, even when the hazard is
life, has been proved in many instances.--
The following recent case of circumstantial
evidence, leading to an untrue result, is from
the United States Gazette: •
"On the 22d of Februarylast, a man call

or two, "an cld acquaintance" of :he police,
was taken before the Mayor of this city, and
charged with picking a gentleman's pocket
at the Robinson Crusoe Inn 3rd above Ches
gait street. After a short examination, he
was committed to Arch street Prison, for el
further hearing. On the 24th of February,
he was brought out, and underwent an ex
amination, and was recommitted flur a still
further hearing, upon a new charge. In
March, he employed council, who with a
writ of habeas corpus took him before a
magistrate and entered bail in 81,000 for
his appearance at a stated time. lie then

burg Bank, on the 20th February. Court
being then in session, he was put upon his'
trial at once; two witnesses swore positively
to his identity, and the jury without leaving
the box, found him guilty of burglary! as
charged. Tyndall made oath that he was
in this pity on the day of the robbery; and
begged judgment to be suspended till an an
swer could be received from the authorities
here, which was granted, and it was discov
ered, as we have stated, that at the time of
the robbery, he was lying safe in Arch St
Prison
In almost every case, those editors of pa
pers who have been particularly noisy in
their opposition to ihirßaak of the United
States, as chartered by our legislature, have
neither published the Relief Bill itself--nor
the Governor's veto message ...yen the Gi
rard Bank—in the latter of which, an able
view of the subject is taken and its advanta•
ges fully set lOrth. As public documents
of great general interest, it would he sup
posed that their publication would not he de
nied, unless from a fear of producing the
conviction amongst "the fixithful" that the
Bank is not the terrible monster which it
has been described. Information on the
subject, is much dreaded by the opponents
of the measure.—Carlisle Herald.

four thousand white mulberry trees, by way

papers, which are secured with three seals,
said to he those of the late marques of Buck

Right Honorable Thomas Greenville. The
contents of the box are understood to be the
manuscript letters of, and documents relat

THE LAND BILL.—The National Intel-
ligencer of Wednesday last says--M r. CLAY
addressed the Senate yesterday in support
6f-his great measure—the bill to distribute
among the several States the nett proceeds
of the sales ofthe Public Lands. We thought,
after hearing the able and comprehensive
arguments of Messrs. EWING, Sou'ruAun,
and WHITE, in favor of this beneficiela
measure, that the subject was exhausted;
that at any rate,but little new could be urged
in its defence. Mr. CLAN., however, in one
of the most luminous and forcible arguments
which we have ever heard him deliver,
placed the subject in new lights, and gave it
newclaims to favor. He was not only strong
and eloquent, as he ever is, but he wasclear
and perspicuous in the most complex parts
of his argument. Indeed, the whole train
of his reasoning appeared to us a series of
demonstrations;. and we cannot conceive
how any mind open to conviction could have
listened to it unconvinced. A large portion
of the members of the other House, we were
glad for their own sakes,were present during
the whole 'speech; and the galleries were
crowded In excess by great numbers of la
dies as well as gentlemen.

In the French Chamber of Deputies, the
motion for the political amnesty. extending
to the ministers of Charles X. was 10-t by
a large majority, the minister of Justice
having opposed it on the ground that to ori•
ginate acts of g race is the prerogative of the
crown. The reduction oft ho five per cents,
which question brought about the dissolution
of the ministry of the Duke do Broglie, had
been adjourned, M. Thiers, the present
President of the Council, having stated that
the govermnent adopted the principle of re
duci.ig the interest on the debt one•tenth,
imr: that a bill on the subject would be intro•
duced at the commencement of the session
of 18:-17. The appropriations for the in
crease of the French Navy had been voted
with great unanimity. This increase was
made, it is supposed, with a view to the en
croachments of Russia upon Turkey.
In reference to this latter subject, the fi l.
lowing important proposal is said to have
been made by Englund:
"The British Government had made ap.
plieations to the Russian Government tier the
evacuation of Silistria and offered its guar
antee, on the surrender of this fortress to
the Sultan's troops, fur the payment of the
remainder of the war indemnity at present
owing by Turkey to Russia."
ft is also stated that the British Govern
ment had ordered a diplomatic envoy to pro.
ceed to Cracow, to report on the causes
which had led to .the occupation of that
little Republic, in violation of the treaty of
Vienna.
From Spain, ns usual, the accounts are
very contradictory. On the whole,however,
the adherents of Don Carlos continue to show
themselves in great force. M. 111endizahel,
the present Prime Minister of the Queen,
continues to exert himself to sustain the fin
antes and credit of the Country. His popu
larity is undiminished. Some apprehensions
are expressed that the now legislative bodies
will be of a jacobinical character,and in that
case, it is said Louise Philippei has ordered
the French Minister, M. Ruynovnl, to quit
the Spanish capitol. The British Minister,
Mr. Villiers, still continues to exercise great
influence at Madrid. He has procured the
dismissal of the officers who countenanced
the cruelties committed upon some Carlist

Fannin, having taken tip his line of march
on that cloy at the head of aO6 men, was at.'
tacked by the Mexican army consiming of

which was cut off from the main army . 77
they remained in view of the Lamle firr about
th ree• fourths of an hour, and in hearing of
it lbr about two hours. During the time
they were in view the Mexican cavalry made
two unsuccessful charges on Fannin's army;
the Mexicans, lie thinks must have lust at
least half their number in these charges.--.
The attack was rondo about 5 o'clock in the
veiling, and continued ab-mt two hours and
a half. He is unable to state particularly -
how the battle terminated: he encamped
within six miles of the battle field that night :•
and heard the firing ofa cannon next morn
Having remained ten days within a
bout ninety miles of the place where the
battle was airtight, he Was unable daring the
time to get any correct account of its result.
Capt. H. had two skirmishes with the Mexi
cans, about 250 in number, the day,previcing
to the attack on Col. Fannin. They could
observe three of the .Mexican horses going
oil' unmounted. ('apt. H's force , hi these
skirmishes, consisted of about one to five.
He also info' ins us that Col. Ward was de
spatched on the 9111 ult. with a mission, (on

his men, (six being killed.) An engage
ment took plaPe on the 11th, Col; W.
attacked within 23 miles of the mission by •
1200 of the Nlexicans; he retreated unto the
mission without the loss of a man; 62 of
the !Mexicans fell. He Night them from -
half past 4 P. Al. till 9 of the same evening-.
Ward then retreated toward Copan°. The
latest accounts from grin stated that he was
making his way into the settlements, be
tween the San Antonio and Gandoloupe riv
ets, towards Colima). On the same night,
in the town of Waloope, three of our citi
zens were murdered by the Mexican citi
zens. Dr. Harrison, (son of Gen. W. H.
Harrison, of Ohio,) was among the number
of these unfortunate victims.
The following cheering paragraph is from
31obile Chronicle of the I:3th:
"A letter has just been received in this
place from Col. J Durington, dated March
25, which states that the inhabitants on the
Brassos above San Felipe,had secured their
families by placing them 'on the east of
Trinity. That the panic was over; every
man able to bear arms, was rushing to join
Houston. That Santa Anna had let the
important hour slip, and that the people had
become confident that they would be able
shortly to expel the invader from Texas.
For several days previous to the date of the
letter, nothing had been heard of the Mexi
can army; that Santa Anna had either re
treated, or was endeavoring to make a flunk
movement on Houston."
We have just received the copy ofa letter
from Brazoria, unA:r date of 24th March,
which speaks of "all the settlements situated
between the river Nueces and Los Brazos,
(San Felipe de Austin included) as overrun
by the Nlexican troops, who gave no quar
ter to those taken Wi t h arms in their hands."
It also communicates the copy of an impor
tant decree of Santa Anna, emancipating
all slaves carried into Tr.xas in violation of
t h e l aws of Mexico. It should be added
that the accounts from that country evince
a pretty hopeless state of affairs for the in
surgents.— /V. Y. American.

CRUELTY IN TILE BRITISH AnMir-.—A late
London paper contains a detailed account of
an Inquest held on the body of a marine, who
was flogged very severely by order of a
Court Martial, and died shortly after.—
Cases of this description are by no means
rare on the other side of the water. The
deceased was guilty of disobedience of orders
in- refusing to go through the "long drill,"
a minor sort of punishment to which he was
sentenced. He was accordingly tried and
sentenced to receive two hundred lashes,
which were commuted to half the number.
A Surgeon swore that his death was not oc
casioned by the punishment, but by the ef
fects ofa fever—and another, on being in
terrogated, said the man would have died of
the fever even it he had not been flogged!
According - to this evidence the poor wretch
was at death's door when they commenced
lashing him. The jury, says the paper be
:fore us, were at first inclined to return a
verdict contrary to the evidence adduced,
• but eventually thirteen agreed in opinion
that the deceased died ''by the visitation of
God!"

%Valiles undertook to deliver a lecture on
the "Bible views of Slavery" in the New.
Lisbon cou rt house. A set of friends of
slavery went to excite disturbance, unin
formed (as their leader stated he was) wheth
er the diseourse was to be fir or against a bo•
lition, but alarmed at the nut ice that it was
the "Bible view" of the subject. Mr. De
Lonna Brooks their spokesman demanded
to know what was Mr. Wattles object—said
"if it was to introduce slavery into Ohimhe
was willing to hear it discussed; but if it was
any thing else regarding the subject he
should oppose it!" Mr. Wattles and those
who wished to hear him were finally obliged
to retire to the Friends meeting house,where
he delivered his lecture.
Thus we find that every one is at liberty
to advocate any manifest evil he chooses,
because no one suspects that it can make
converts; the great danger in all times has
been in declaring the truth. As the old pro
verb says "Nothing cuts like the plaguey
truth."
Two or three years ago an avowed infidel
was allowed in that very Court House to hold
'forth—opposing and ridiculing christianity.
Be it so—every system of froth can boar free
discussion, and must of course be even bet
ter established by it; but why should those
who dreaded to hear the "Bible view" of
slavery be so singularly tolerant to the
preaching of infidelity?
The Mr. Brooks who ministered to the
spirit of mobism on the late occasinn,is stat
ed to be a royal arch mason; and from the
N. Lisbon Aurora's aceount,masoury seems
to have been the moving spirit. The editor
°ldiot paper states that he was infiirmed by
Ezekiel Birdseye, Esq. of Cincinnati, "that
free negroes are kidnapped by masons"—
and as it would appear extensively; so that
the handmaid may have a more direct in.
terest in opposing the abolition s% stein, than
what arises merely from her fear of free dis
cussion.
One of the results of this mob seems to
have been, that the New-Lisbon Aurora,an
excellent Anti-Masonic anti-slavery paper,
which had been stopped; has been revived
again with renewed spirit. Thus may it
over be.—Pittsburgh Times. .
GRAIIAMISM.-M uch has lately been said
about Mr. Graham and his lectures on diet,
and much more is likely to be said, as his
system has become the subject of controver
sy. A writer in the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal,alter ironically associating
the name of Graham with those of Wash-
ington and Franklin, gives several instances
of persons who, having adopted the vegeta•
ble diet recommended by the lecturer, be.
came insane. Now it is difficult to conceive
at simple abstinence from animal lbod,cat
produce mental injury; for though a person
who has been accustomed from infancy to
its ;Ise, may feel some temporary weeny°.
nience and weakness, yet such is the power
of the human stomach to Wept itself to a
change, that he will soon, judging by analo
gy, become so inured to the new diet us to
have us good health and strength as before.
Exeeptiona to this, as to other general rules
there may be; but supposing that bodily
weakness were the inevitable result, does it
thence follow that mental aberration would
ensue. Few pathologists, we apprehend,
will maintani such a doctrine; so that though
we are no advocates of dl r. Graham, we do
not think nu rSelLes justified in condemning
his system on account of the cases brought
against it. they not being sufficiently numer
ous, nor sufficiently detailed to enable us to
form a judgment Generalization from few
particulars is a common error,burone which
should be carefully guarded against, as it
has led to great practical evils.[Lialt. Trans.
