New-York, April 23. We hear from Elizabeth-Town, that on Monday last, Alderman Stites of that place, a gen- tleman generally esteem'd, being about to straighten a road, of which he was overseer, by the removal of a fence, belonging to one Sears, which was an encroachment upon it-Sears having before heard of his design, declared if he attempted it he would shoot him, and accordingly load- ed his gun with powder and shot. When Mr. Stites, with his labourers on the high way, approach'd the fence, he saw Sears with his gun, ask'd him where he was going with it. He replied, "I'll tell you, damn ye", and imme- diately fired at him, lodging the shot in his side and belly. Sears was, after some resistance secured and sent to goal. It is though Mr. Stites cannot recover, though it is not certain whether the shot have penetrated his bowels, sev- eral have been extracted, but he had a high fever, and was in exquisite pain, though still alive on Wednesday morn- ing last.
