EVENING STAR,
DEATH OF CROCKETT.

The following is graphic sketch of the
last moments of brave man Colonel
Crockett, wounded and closely pursued
by number of the enemy, retreated into
the church, telling them as they an.
preached. He stationed himself in q
niche, in the corner, determined to face
the foe at last, and sell his life dearly:
with his rifle and superabundance OF
side arms, he hewed and shot them down
with the same awful certainty that was
wont to characterize his indomitable snir.
it. His position rendered access to him
utterly impossible, except by a direct
and close approach in front; after some
eight or ten of them were laid before him,
feeling of awe seemed to seize hold OF
the assailantS. One of them who could
speak little broken English, probably
preferring to have the signal honor of cap
turing SO noble specimen of American
valor, to present to his dear master. ~
SAID to Crockett, surrender! senior. ~
A flash OF the most sovereign scorn DART
ed from the fiery eye, and as it pierced
that OF the enemy, he seemed to be trans.
fixed. In a voice of thunder Crockett
answered, "surrender No! | am an
American;" and as he spoke, he sent a
ball through the heart of the paralyzed
foe. He appeared for a moment like a
wounded tiger, strengthened anew, BUOY.
ed by each additional wound; not hewing
them down with his well-tried sword
next dealing death with his firearms.
His person was literally drenched with
his own blood, his strength must soon
yield to it's loss.
Yet such physical power wrought to
the highest degree of excitement, can
perform incredible prodigies. This was
the last concentrated energy of a power
full man, aroused, animated and guided
by one CT the noblest attributes of man
love of liberty. He knew for what his
lite was about to be sacrificed; that deyas-
tatlon and butchery would follow the
the footsteps Of his heartless foes; that
woman would be sacrificed to satiate the
desires of the conqueror; and, feeling the
holy inspiration of dying patriot, be
fought manfully till the loss of blood and
approach of death stayed his appraised
arm; his rife was broken to pieces, his
pistol fell to the floor, and nothing but
his faithful sword was left. In the aaony
of death, with terrible grasp, he brought
this last weapon upon the head of the
nearest assailant, and fell victoriously
across his body into the arms of death.
In this corner of the church, there were
twenty-si1 dead Mexicans, and no other
American having fought OF fallen at that
point, it is considered beyond all reason
able doubt that all of them fell by the
hand Of Tennessce's favorite son All
were now dead, not 8 man left to relate
the wonderful deeds of this illustrious
band of heroes Not single one left to
rear monument to their memory But,

CRUvELLI AND HER MISERY'S Sophie
Cruvelli, the great singer, who bolted
away from her engagement at the opera
in Paris, was very coldly received by
the audience On tie night of her reap.
pearance. 1t was in the "Huguenots, II
and there was dead silence until, In
the natural course of the piece, the ques-
ton is put to her by the Queen, "Tell
me the result Of your adventurous jour.
ney!' The question, so appropos to
her recent escapade, so much amused
her that she smiled. The house took
the joke, and g burst of hearty ap.
plause was the consequence. From that
moment harmony was restored. The
audience applauded the syren as usual,
and called for her when the curtain fell
1t appears that Count Vigier, the
younger, had told Sophie Cruvelli tha,
he was in love with her, but, being un.
der age, dared not marry her, in France
without the consent of her father, who il
obstinate, naughty, and a millionaire
She agreed to elope with him, and they
cut off, not to Belgium, as was reported
but to Venice. There my young gentle.
man expressed his love for the lady, but
strong fears that his father, on their re.
turn to Paris, would annoy them in
every manner in his power. Just then
Cruvelli s two brothers arrived in Venice.
One of them coaxed SOY hie back to Paris.
The other remained at Venice, to aScer-
tain young Vigier's "inlentions. The
lover declared that his desire was to
marry the lady. On this, the fraternal
mind was set at ease. The elder Vigier,
seeing what turn things had taken, and
much admiring the singers beauty,
character and abilities, relinquished his
opposition-gallantly declaring that from
the first, it would have gratifed him to
see his son SO mated-and wrote formal
letter to mamma, demanding the fail
Sophie's hand for his son, and received ,
gracious assent. The upshot is, that thu
government having abandoned all pro-
ceedings against the capricious cantra
trice, she has promised to remain unit
the end of the season of 1855, when hel
engagement closes, and the marriage
will take place Immediately after. 1t i.

A SHREWD DOCTOR

The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury tells
a good story, to the effect that a white
man named Jennings undertook a few
nights since to give colored physician
from st. Domingo, named DR.. Charles
LIE Brun, residing in that city, a severe
drubbing for malpractice. 1t seems that
Jennings had been troubled with dyspep.
sia, and had applied to DR.. LIE Brun for
cure; but after taking the doctor s
physic for month he found himself much
worse, told the doctor SO, and then a
quarrel and the assault just spoken of
followed.
Monsieur lie Mayor" said DR.. L., "I
no pretend to be re wizard, but l cure
anybody dat do vat | gay. l tell dis man
he must take two of my pills to-morrow,
four re mex day, and den go on double re
dose for forty day; and if he no cure
den, tell him he come to me will give
MIN back his money tout suite. Sare.
dat is dc bargain vat | make vid him, and
ne no DO dat, so it no vundure be git
worse.
Jennings replied to this: Il took his
pills, sir, according to directions, for five
days, doubling every day, as he told me,
and found on the fifth day that the dose
amounted to thirty-two pills and then
began to figure up what | would come
to in forty days, and found that [ should
have to take at least half peck"
Not matter if it was a bushel," said
Dr. LIE Brun; "ze pill is vegitabeel, Jus
same as Won turneep, and he might live
on zem all ze time and zey no hurt. But
if he no give ze pill fair trial, vot for |
gives him back his money"
1t was plain enough that Jennings did
not go according tc contract, and SO he
had no pretence for asking DR.. LIE Brun
to refund The doctor promised to say
nothing about the assault and battery
If Jennings would persevere in the
purchase of the medicine; bat Jennings,
In this extreme case, preferred the opera
ton OF law to that of physic, and was
accordingly bound over to answer for the
outrage he had committed.
The dyspeptic individual, however, in
saying that "when he began to figure up
what it would come to in forty days" had
he followed the sable physicians pre-
scription, and found that he would have
had Ito take at least half peck" showed
as great ignorance ofquantity as of quali-
ty. Our devil" while waiting for COPY.
/" has figured it up, and says that the
suffering Jennings would had only
l,O7O, ,4O4, ,427 200 pills to take for his
last dose, and but 2.l41 ,609 ,225. $50 al.
together; and he promises to reduce this
to dry measure" at his earliest leisure.
