Man KILLED BY HIS STErsoN. last Thurs
day afternoon, 5th inst H: c. Boyd, living about
eight miles below Little Rock, Ark, in the river
bottom, was killed by his stepson, John NARROW,
lad about thirteen years of age. 1t appears
that Boyd and his wife had been in town during
the day, where Boyd had procured wlIiskey and
got drunk, and after their return homo, had fell
upon his wife with all the force ofa brute, and
while thus numerically beating her, the boy
with the natural instinct of child for the pro-
lection of bis mother, drew.a, pistol and shot
Boyd in the left side, which resulted in his i'm
mediate death. The boy was lodged in Jail, but

CESaR'S HEAD.

THIS is the name of" an exceeding high mountain '
in the Northern extremity of Greenvle District. We
clnmbcred up its sides and reached its pinnacle two
weeks ago with much labor Of body and vexation Of
spirit, It is rugged way, and steep and toisome
one, which loads to the top Of this ambitious peak.
To say the least Of it. the feat cannot surely fall
much below those famous ones Of mounting the
rumparts of Italy or scaling the walls Of Jericho"
II is five miles walk from the foot 10 the top Of this
mountan-a test of ones :" forkcd extremeties"
which no sensible man woman will ever undergo
twice for the mere fun Of the thing But when you
reach the summit the retrospect is certainly grand,
to some maginations awfuly imposing. To tell the
truth, however, we were not inspired to the degree
We had heard people talk Of.
1t was noble sight, it is truc-thc view was mag
nifcent from the extensive area embraced-it was
imposing from the unaccustomcd altitude at which
we found ourselves above sublunary objects. But,
besides these circumstances, there was nothing
specially striking-the variety Of prospect was mea
gre-therc WAS no water view TO heautiy the scene
and, gave the Table Rock. no prominent feature Of
interest relieve the dull continuity of hill and dale
The lights and shadows unfortunately did not exhibit
their wonted freaks Of playfu for twas murky
day. Even ths clouds were not disposed to present
that oceanic appearance which they are said to do
sometimes Yet we were well enough pleased; for it
liz strange and exciting feeling to look down
from commanding point like this, upon tho world
around. l, is something akin to, although far be-
meath, that conscious superiority with which the
man, who has reached the moral emincncc of high
and inc1iblc virtue regards the vain ,unult of the
