An Eventual Career.

G.. +. ClarkSOn, formerly editor OF the
Indiana American, who is now travelling
IN Tennessee, narrates the following story
I'm leler published i'll the Rockville
Nnd.) Democrat
I.el me recile TO YOU a true history of a
mau whose farm we passed over yester-
day. About fifteen years ago, Presby-
terlan clergyman of New York had way
ward son. We have his name and IOca-
ton but withhold it al present. Before he
was seventeen he became so reckless and
unruly that his father could no longer con-
troll him. He left for the wicked and COZ
rupt city of New York, where he became
a clerk in drinking saloon, but his char
acter was too bad to be retained there. He
next was a baE-keeper in theatre, but
was dismissed. He went lower and still
lower, until he slept in empty cellars and
on the waves of the city, perfect null
sance and disgrace to his race.
At this stage Of his career an old COL
Iage mate--for our hero was graduate Of
one of the best colleges in the State Of
New York rk--determned that he would
hunt him up and make one more effort TO
save him. He wen; TO New York, and
after week OF diligent search, with the
aid of the police, he found him. He
washed and clothed him, took him back 10
the country, and by every inducement that
could be held out to him, persuaded him
to try TO be man. He made the effort,
and was successful. The friend who
sought him out and who saved him we
are well acquainted with. They both de-
termined TO come 10 Tennessee 10 teach
school. They soon reached here, and
with recommendations they brought, soon
obtained good places.
The reclaimed son Of the Presbyterian
clergyman, within six months after his
arrival, married an orphan girl worth $40,
600 in cash. She had; younger sister
and brother, who each had equal amounts.
The sister soon after died, leaving one
half of her estate TO our hero and his wife,
the other half TO her brother, and thus in
creaSing his estate to 100000. When
the Mexican war broke out, the brother
enlisted, and leaving all his estate to his
brolher-in-law (our hero) and his wife, in
case he never returned from the war. He,
like many more of our noble youths, was
killed al Buena Vista. Thus our hero
came into possession of the entire estate
of the family, which has increased by ad-
vance of lands and Increase OF negroes TO
over S390,000. lie Is now one of ihe
richest planters of Middle Tennessee. and
does not live twenty-five miles from Nash
vile.

A MurderOus Gang.

The Buffalo Express notices the arri-
val in that city of officers in pursuit of a
party of five ruffians, and thus records a
shocking series of crimes committed by
them {:
Their operations commenced at Gra-
hams tavern, about eleven miles west of
Cayuga. They had stopped there during
the day, and al 7 o'clock demanded their
bill. The amount was named, and note
larger than the sum mentioned was placed
upon the bar-when the landlord took out
his pocket book for the purpose Of giving
them their change. AT lhisjnnction, one
of the villains grabbed the wallet, which
contained from Sl5 to $50, another pre-
senled pistol TO the owners head, and
another, still, knife in his breast, threat
ening him with instant death if he muir
INJURED or resisted. Thereupon they mar
ched off, leaving the landlord 50 much ter
ried that he did not attempt to pursue
them.
They next entered Husbands grocery
under the pretence of purchasing some to-
bacco. While the proprietor was serving
them, one of them seized him, threatening
his life if he did not keep quiet, while the
others robbed the desk Of some $50.
They then resumed their journey.
They next met upon the highway far
mer by the name OF Wm. Downs, who
was returning from market. From him
they took 81, all that he had with him.
They next came TO the residence OF w.
II. NeIes, a merchant. Mr.. N. was Sit
ting with his family, having previously
locked the door. They first tried the
door, and then demanded an entrance.
Mr.. n. not knowing the character of his
visitors proceeded to the door and opened
it, when three pistol balls was fired into
his body. The scoundrcls then entered
the house, knocked down young son oi
! Mr.. Neiles', examined the closets anu
drawers, in which they found nothing tc
