..Tliero dre circumstancos connectcu with
tlie Ute murder of Betilson, , in . Ohio,
whose supposed murderer, Parks', wits re
rently arrested in this cilj tlint mnvli"
it its one of the most extraordinary nffiirs
recorueq in tne nisiory oi .crime. ,
. .Less than n. year ago, Beatson, the mur
dered man, Parko, his supposed! murderer
and a person, named Gee, cam.?, over, to-
(jether in the ,Rame, ship from, Europe,,
Beatson and Parks had comparatively lit
lletmoney, twhile Gee was known to have
had several hundred dollars, Willi thi
he came to Erie county nnd , deposited a
tiorMqn, of it six hundred dpIlHrs--in tlij
Buffalo Savintjs Bank, ,.The plafip of its
deposits became in some mnnne.r, known to
Beatson, who resolved., if possible, to ob
fain the possession of it;, buf, how .to ao
coAiplish, that object was, a matter not so
ftisily determined... A plan however, was
devised, and its execution at once entered
upon. . Ascertainini; tluit there was in tli
city a young Englishman, who also, came
over in the same ship with GeV.; Beatson
f.-und him .out, and introduced himself, as
Gee's brother, and, succeeded so admira
bly in convicting his new acquaintance
that such was the fact that he went with
Beatson to thfl Bank and introduced him
such to Mr.- Howard, the Secretay
Beatson ihen produced a letter, previously
prepared, of course by, himself, purport
ing to bo written to him by.,Vm. Gee
stating that he W.. G. had just purchns.
ed farm near Buffalo, , had paid three
hundred on it, , end, : needed six hundred
dollars more in gold; that he was unable
to come in person to Buffalo and draw it
from the Bank, in consequence of having
been injured by a .kick from a horse and
,had, therefore deputed, his brother to get
Under this stnt of things, being prop
erly introduced, Vm, Gee, ..being unable
to draw a cheek, tlie story .seeming alto
gether probable, nnd,, circumstances, net
suggesting any suspicion, ..the. Secretary
concluded to pay the fix,, hundred .doJUrs
and draw a cheek ffr. thai amount on, Oli
ver Lee t co's Bank, Before delivering
the check however, the Secretary wrote h
receipt (or the money which, the supposed
.' brother", was requested to, sign, 'j .This
lieat&on ueciineu doing alleging us a rea
son .that he .could not write. lie ..did,
however, make his mark,, which. '.was wit
nessed by tho$e who introduced him. -putting
the, check in his- pocket, , he ; pro
ceeded to ilr.:MorcCr.tliu teller, savin.'
ho desired to havt told. Mr. Mtrcer re-1 '
f lied that he could not pay. gold on tlie
chuck except at the usual premium, or uu
less Mr. Ilownrd should request it. The
cool individual said ho would take it back
and have Mr. II, do so.... Back he went to
the Saving's Bank. ; Mr. Howard assent
ed to his request,; and inserted Jn. the
cheeky "pay ia gold." and with this Beat-
son returned to the U. Le sank, obtained
the gold and took his departure. The next
that was heard of bim was,, that he had
.been murdered and that Parks was ar
rested for ibe crime, t .' ,. r .. ?

has been when all these vast alluvial plains
slumbered beneath the 'bosom of a vast

brought down in their spring floods large
quantities of timber, why may no deposits

.- rMiitl The Word "Srluh " v.i.u:
The translator of the Bible have left the ;
Hebrew word "Selah," which occurs so of- '1
ten in the Psalms, as they found it and, of
course; the English reader often asks his
minister br' some learned friend, what it
meiiiis.' And the minister or learned friend,
has most often been obliged to confess ig-
nornnce, because it is a matter in regard t
which the most learned have by hb moans
been of one mind. The 'fargums and most
of the Jewish commentators cive tbe word
meaning eternally forever. - Rabbi Kimchi ',
reaards it as a sisrn to elevate the voice. "
The authors of the Septaugiut trarislatioa '
appear to have regarded as ft musical sign,1
.equivalent1 perhaps to the word 'repeat.,
