Tcrribl Revenge-Seduction-Abduc tion.-1Mder-alf ii high life.--A deplo nableoevent has just occurred in thiscity, a brief notice of which will befounVg Public Ledger of this qgorniag. IL which has produced the utmost excitement in oar cit., Boy ")$obf "1ch 'um stances are a seductiou, an elopement. and a amarder of the seducer by the brot har of the young lady abducted from her father's house. The parties are all of respectable ead wealthy families. The young girl is the daughter of Thomas 3lercer, a retired Merchant in Sothwnrks, a tian of con siderable wealth. Her name is &aroh. and she is the youngest of three danataers, a bautiful and lovely, thoutgh weakaainved girl, of about 16 years of age. Hier sed -n eer, the person sturdered by her brotsher. was named Mahlem !Iutchiinsson lither, or:. son of the late lit-. Helbertor, a yoaung -nana shout 23. Miss SMercer, it is said, becam~se first acquainted with licherton on ls Christmas day, and the introdnctionu was accidental. lHe bore the character of a ose, ad boasted of his success with thin women. Whether this fact was knowtn to the parents or not, I sat not infoarmaed, but their intercourse was conducted clandes int.A friend of the family. hearin apprised the pa-eats of the fnct, but it was tee it, the young girt thbat dasy laud left her father's residence, andI could tno where be found. A scar-cha we.. irwnsit lay her farid a reward of $50( was oti'ered for ifortnatiou respecting her, but:of no avail. The family were plunged into rte deepest distress and excitement, which was greatly increased by information that site deluded girl was dwelling in a hiotte of doubjftul reputation in ri'm street. 11cr frictads ia etansly hturried there antd cuondsucted the sunfortunate girl home. This happened otr Wednesday, and site had been gone. two dayt and nights from her parent's house;. and it was believed andi pretty wcell established, that lieberton had taken1 her uff and placed her at te house where bhe was found. Her friend.s itmmediately liad Ileberton arressed and sakesn before an al dermsan of the city, o a charge of abduc-I tom. The proof ini their possessiona was not sucient to warrant she magistrate in binding him over. and the object of her friends was bafied. The barotber, Single ton .Mercer, aged 2(&, determined to be r-e vened for the injury done his sister's fame, oefered a challenge to Heobertona, which the latter declined, lie then threatenied that he would shoot Heberton whenever he snet him, and from that time dogged bis steps very closely. Heberton, to avoid I enmung in contact with htim, made arrange mnents for leaving the city with his legal friend, Mr. F. C. Vandyke. On Friday evening ha entered a close carriage with : bis friend, sad after driving about she city, sched the wharf about dark, and took the last fort.y host to Camden, N. J., w~here < he interned to conceal himself for she pre-< ent. Bus. Morcer had apprised himself of Jebern's intention, and, provided wish I a revolving six barrelled pistol, placed histself ahoard the same boat, and eon ealed behind a coal wagon, remained quiet ustl she boat reached the N. Jersey I sbots. The friend of 11. opened the carri age door, jumped out to quiet she borses. At that moment Mercer step: 2d from his c ac.. f.o...... t..., .sh..... hs.; p;itl;,,t the carriage where lieberton was, and fired four shots in succession, one of which took eff'ct in his side. and lodged, in his heart; fleherion uttered but one groan and sank back in the carriage. Before they reached the tavern, a few yards distant, he was a corpse. Mercer immediately confessed the deed, a Coroner's Inquest was held ut Camden. with a verdic. rendered that tie deceased died by the hand of Mercer. The shot which Merc cr fired was a bliud one; ie knew H. was in the carriage, but not hits exact situation. A'ter the deed, he was conveyed to the Woodlitry jail. the olfence bein' within thejurisdiction 4f Now Jersey-Mercer says not a wort of :he occurreuce, admitt or deiles nothii.

The grief of the widow whose son has been ihnis instantly cut olf, is also excessive. What a lesson is this to parenti in the proper education of their children, and their care of their daughters; and a'lesen to the seducer. We have been ac-luaiutcd with Heber ton for %nine vears, and have ahvy<. known him as a mild, aminble and genmtle-aanly man-but the: crime is bich he committed wis of tot hllrk and danin u character for it. its exprei. regret or -sympattay for his uttimealy end.
