Love N A PUG NosE.-A countrym an
with a pug nose ofmdst aspiring p~retentions
and rather large in its dimensions went to
a surgeon in Cincinnati, the osher day, and
after a detailed story of the trouble which
the upward turn at the base ofhis 'pyramid
Thinocerestic" gave him, insisted on its
being pared down. The surgeon remonstrat.
ed, but it was of no use; his sweetheart had
tainted him about his pug, and he was
determined to rid himself of it, if sur ger
could accomplish it. Being so urged, the
surgeon consented to operate, and after
trials, succeeded in removing so much
Of the nose, that what was left became
pleasing in the eyes of its possessor, and he

S~HoCKtNG MtRDER.-Oh Friday night
last, one Of the most foul mud shock.
ing murders was Committed on the person
of n man named Johnson, u resident Of the
peaceful village of Freetown, on the
opposite bank Of tbariver, between Alelers
and Gfetna. We give the particulars, as
related to as by a person who saw the body
Of the murdered individual Yesterday
morning. The deceased, who lived in a
small shanty on the bank Of The river, at
Freetown, was found in the river. a short
distance from his dwelling, yesterday
morning, with o rope round his neck, and
fastened to q stump in The bank, his body
horribly mutiIated. From the wounds on
his person, it would appear that the perpe.
traitors Of the foul deed had first shot him
in the back, subsequently cutting his throat,
and splitting Ills head open with an axe or
some such instrument, and then fastened
the body to n stump IN The river, for tho
purpo,s Of concealment, without taking The
necessary %precaution to attach weights to
il, so as TO sink it. Johnson was supposed
to have a good deal Of money, and TO get
possession off was no doubt, the sole object
Of his murderers, as the floor Of his cabin
was taken up, the parties evidently
presuming that the treasure was there
concealed.
VIZ have not been able to ascertain
whether any clue has yet been discovered
that may lead to the arrest Of The guilty
parties. II icayune
