Conscious however that have done little to
tle me 10 such favors just and deep felt difdeace
di.suades me from ccepung them | value them too

reward and commemorsdon OF great services.
Add to this that yet am unable 10 determine how

naturally consequent upon 80 marked change In my
destiny will enable 70 comply with the public go
iciiations of my friends And you will kindly admit
the difficulty which prevents me from promptly scced
ing TO the engagements you propose.
Yet should these arrangements permit shall seek an
sincere and ardent thanks for those Of sym

TERRIBLE CRIME-CRIMISALs CONVICT
ED-The Maysuile (Ky) Eagle Of the 10Th, has an &C
count of the conviction Of four murderers who killed
AND his wife. Our readers VIII remember the nor
rid murders committed In the latter part OF February
last on the persons of Justice Brewer and his vile, In
Greenup county. These deeds were perpetrated by
band OF desperados four In number, three OF them
named Clarke, and one named Hood. Going int the
poultry hous they set the hens 20 quackng by which
trick Mr. and Mrs. Brewer were enuced out OF the
house Mrs went out fret In her night gown, 10 pro-
tect her chickens from the fangs, as she doubtless
thought OF wild beasts of prey, little dreaming that they
were proving in human FORM and that herself and nus
band were the objects OF their bloody hunt.
Mr. b. Followed Immediately, and both were set upon
and beaten TO death with heavy clubs-he being killed
ouris BIT and she left for dead though she fingered IN
sensible and speechless til the next morning. Their
poor children, five In number the eldest but eleven
years cid unconscious OF the horrd tragedy by which
they were plunged into the miseries and sorrows
Of ophanage, slept undisturbed till morning, when,
missing their parents they wandered TO the houses oil
their neighbors In search of them This awakened sus
picion and alarm and the people OF the country
round about reused The first party arriving at
the house found the PROSTATE bodies where the ssa
ants left them, the husband dead and stiff, the wife only
exhibiting signs of life by involuntary contraction OF
her lower limbs At ii o'clock that morning her sui
feripgs ended with her hfo
Antecedent circumstances furnished ground of susp
con that John Collins neighbOr OF Brewer, was
the instgator not the actor of the tragedy chala
of circumstances sight indeed In their origin, but cor
roborsitd and strengthened until they amounted TO
proofs clear and conclusive fixed the eye and the hand
OF justice on Collins and mis- accomplces.
Collins and his four sccomphces were indicted, and
he and Turner Clarke the who welded the murder
club were tried before the Greenup Circuit Court
last week. These two were convicted Of murder and
sentenced TO be hung the 25th of June next There
not time 10 try the other three before the term of
the Court expired and they will remain In jail ironed
and guarded, till the next term.

VThe "vls-A.Vls," fresh from the press
is now before us. 1t is a neat sheet, and
deserves patronage. The title suggests a
circumstance, connected with pleasing re-
collections, which We like to revert to-
The first time we heard the word 'vis-a-
Wis., a nice young Gent stepped up to US, in
a crowded ball room, and said, "shall zoe be
your "vis-a-vis sirw to which we replied
of course and instantly he and bright eyed
damsel, who he led by the hand, skipped in
front of us. The next thing, we found our
self dancing-not only physically, but men,
tally Our head whirled about like a top
our eyes swan, and we became perfectly
intoxicated with love and delight, either at
the bright eyed damsel, or her blue dress,
and we do not know which.
Wepray that the Capiolian Visa V,s
may be another such, not only to us but all
others. May it nave a prosperous run
a merry light hearted life, with host of
admirers to sport, and profit with. May it
dance along in the sunshine of youth and
prosperity and never lack the needful things
to make it as interesting TO the editor as il
ought to be-
There is one thing however, since the
editor will make puns on his own name
1t is, that he may never be Wind-free. Il
he cannot blow up the wind guage to 81 ir
the scale, we would advise him to lay dowr
his pen and practice for next to gass itsel
there is nothing more important than {
plentiful supply ofwind
