Our readers viii remember the murder

the Nelleys, which ersated q great seasa.
ton and Il large reward was offered by fhe
Governor aud the citizens Of the county.
A young lad, about II years ofRge, by The
name Of Ffisby, Of Louisiana, seeing The
reward and knowing where the murderfrs
were, went 10 the grocery, which Que Of
them kept about 90 miles from Monroe,
La, and demanded u surrender, but Kelly
fred q revolver at him. The gallant
youth returned 1t and shot him down,
when he surrendered. In q short time the
other Kelley rode up and dismounted,
when the boy demanded his surrender, but
he turned 10 fly when Frigby fred at b im
puttiag n buehshot entirely through his
body, between bis shoulders which stop
ped his progress. The prisoners were
then brought to Missi .sippi-fbe one most

is not, we believe, generallyknown that the
Pickwick Papers originated with the ar
tist-poor Seymour, who, having executed
seven or eight etchihgs, sought q purchaser
for them, and sent forth his wife for the
purpose Of finding one. She entered, BY
chance, the shop Of Chapman and Hall,
Strand, and ~subSpitted the designs, which
were at once accepted subsequently ape
~plication was made to Mr.. Charles Dick.
ems 10 accompany them with letter-press,
and immortal Pickwick was the result.
