$500 REWARD.

HNHE above reward will be given for the apprehen-
i sion and delivering over to the proper authority
the notorious Atha Meeks who shot Wlthe Brlscoe
and James Brown a few days since, all OF w arrick
County. The circumstances as near as we can learn
are as follows Briscoe some time since lost horse
and suspicion fell on Meeks, who after some month
visited Briscoe and offered deliver up the horse to
Briscoe for twenty five dollars, where upon Briscos
agreed to pay that amount provided he would let his
Brother VIM Briscoe 90 with him to get the horse,
and the day agreed upon for them TO start, and
when the day arrived there quarrel arose be-
tween VIM. Briscoe and Meeks and they did not go
but in a short time afterwards Meeks went by HIM
self and brought the horse and left him at some per-
sons house name forgotten, when VIM. Brlscoe got
the horse and delivered him to his Brother Wlthe
Briscoe. Then Meeks demanded the above S25
which Briscoe refused to pay as Meeks had refused
to let his Brother go with him Tor the horse and there
arose considerable quarrel between them which en-
ded by Meeks threatening kill Brscoe. which SAID
Meeks did try to accomplish by shooting him, but
failed in the attcmpt, and only wounded HIM IN the
arm and then the third day after attempted to kill the
only witness Brscoe had 10 prove the threats Meeks
had made, TO wit: James Brown, by shooting him,
the ball entered Just below the shoulder blade the
right side and passing through and lodging under the
right breast
The above reward is made up by the citizens Of
Warrick and is ready at the delivery OF the said
Meeks dead or alive Meeks is a large good looking
man. will weigh from $50 to 205 pounds and talr

RESPECT TO AGE.-There is a story Of an
occurrence al Athens, during the celebra-
ton Of games in honor of god, illustrative
of the respect paid by the Lacedemonians
to old age. The seats in the theatre were
crowded, aud an old man entering lase, found
no seat. Some young men beckoning HIN
towards them, and Offered him seat; bu, as
he advanced, they sal closer together, max
ing the vacant seat farther along, and con.
tlnued TO do so as be approached II so as to
excite the laughter Of the audience. There
were departments Of the theatre devoted Ia
foreigners, and as the old man approached
the seats Of the Lacedemonians, they al
arose. The Athenians, with characteristic
impetuosity, cheered their courteous neigh
bois with Tremendous applause, and the old
man turning around remarked: The Aihe
mans kno;e the right, the Lacedemonians do
it,"
The present age might learn lesson from
the Lacedemonians. The politeness eve
rywhere shown 10 ladies', makes a poor ex
