Little additional light was thrown upon tho fact? surrounding thc tragody, and upon tho ovidonco, substantially as stated in last week's Kntorpriso, f lio jury returned tho following vordiot: 'Wo, tho jury ompanolod to look into tho cause of tho (loath of William Smith, ibid that said William Smith carno to his duath by a gunshot wound caused by Hod Stovons on tho 12th day of July, 1800.' " Tho Livingston Post gives tho follow ing facts: "A writ of habeas corpus was secured Saturday to roqulro tho State tc admit Hob Stevens, who killed William Smith on July 12th, to bail. Tho pur poso of tho writ was offoctcd, and Judge Henry fixed tho bail at $20,000, and Stovons' friends say that tho amount will bo forthcoming ns a surety for hh appearance for trial at tho Sopiomboi torin of Court. Stovons says no shot Smith in solf-dofouso whilo Smith wat trying to do him bodily harm, usine rookB as weapons of offense.
