The coroner's jury which returned a verdict against Ned Sharpless, colored, for killing Sam Register, also colored, (fully described in the Star yesterday) based their verdict upon the following evidence placed before them: Edward Lafferty testified: I am night watchman at Messrs. Fore & Foster's saw mill. Castle Havne. On the 17th of March I went to Ned Sharpless', house about 10 o'clock in the morning. I asked him to go with me to Jones' place; that I wanted him to show me where to make a tar kiln. When we arrived at Jones' I commenced to measure some wood, and Ned placed stakes for the kiln. After having placed the stakes, he helped a boy to haul a cord of wood for me, and then we went to Mr. Isaac F. Hines' house, where I told Ned to stay until I went over to Mr. Jones'. ' When I returned I met Samuel Regis- j ter, who said something about his wood, and he seemed mad because I would not pay him for some rotten wood which he had -cut- At that time I did not see I Ned. Register said that there was too many to inspect the wood that he cut. I told him that I would pay him for cut ting the wood if be would pick out the rotten pieces and put in sound ones. He replied that he would not do it; that he was not going into tne woods any more. About this time Ned Sharpless came up tbe road and asked Sam who was the in spector of the wood. Sam replied, "It must have been yon, as you have taken it up." Ned then called Sam a d d liar, and Sam told Ned he was another liar. Ned said to Sam, "Come out ot that yard and 1 will show you better." After a few minutes Sam went out of the yard, going towards Ned, who said, If ,yoa come to me I will shoot you." Sam told Ned to shoot and be d d, and Ned shot him. Sam had an axe and a sack on his shoulder, but did not at tempt to do Ned any harm. O. D. Hansley testified : Wednesday evening, March 17, 1 went to Mr. Hines' house on business. Mrs.' Hines. Henry Clark's daughter and Ned Sharpless were at work in the garden. Very soon Sam Register came up and Mrs. Hines said something to him about some one playing a trick on him'.in the woods.Ree ister said there bad been a quarrel ever since he had commenced cutting wood ; that there were too many inspectors. Mrs. Hines replied that it was not her, for she bad not been up there. Sam said he did not say who it was; he then ask ed for Mr. Lafferty. Mrs. Hines told him that Mr. Lafferty had gone over to Mr. Jones'. Sam said he was going to leave the woods, as he was not going to be bothered up so. Ned Sharpless then spoke up and said it Sam was going to make a fuss at Mr. Hines house, he was going to get out, and took his gun and went up the road towards his home. Sam again asked for Mr. Lafferty. and about that time Mr. Lafferty came up. The rest of the witness' testimony about corroborated Mr. Lafferty 'a evi dence. Witness also swore that Sam did not not attempt to : harm Ned. Tbe next witness, Hannah Clark, corrobor ated the other two witnesses, and she, too, swore that Sam did not attempt to barm Sharpless.

He Will Appear at tbe Opna Hoaae April J ' lOih. Old Joe Jefferson, the eminent com edian, is booked to appear at the Opera House Saturday night, April 10th. Joseph Jefferson is about as familiar to the (American people as the "Stars and Stripes."
