SINGULAR MURDER.

In Adams county, Miss, a few weeks
since, Mr., Duncan skinner, overseer foi
Mrs. Sharpe, was found murdered in a
mysterious manner. Last week three
negroes were arrested, and proved 10 be
the murderers. The Nalchez Courier
says:
The evidence collected, together with
the corroborating circumstances, show that
this was one of lhe most coolIy planned
and deliberate murders ever accomplished.
The negroes in the plot went TO Mr.. Skin
ner's house just before day, aud aroused
him on pretence of child in the family
being sick. He opened the door while in
his night clothes, and was knocked down
by blow on his breast from a heavy stick.
Three staiwart negroes seized him, and,
after a severe struggle, succeeded in chok-
ing him.
While thus insensible, they carried him
some few rods from the house, and there
by main strength disIocated his neck
They then got out his clothes, dressed him,
and to turn away suspicion, put his watch
around his neck, and his purse with part
of his money in his pocket, brough: out
his horse and saddled it; put The lifeess
body on it, and led it to the woods, where
the BODY was afterwards found. Here

the secret eye within, 10 learn what he
may hear and what he may see! In the
fear of God, let him look within and see
how he stands.
Look upon the fearful panorama that
glides before the eye, while memory. with
her magic wand, points now to this scene
and now to that. There stands bcaut-
ful cottage with woodbines and egIantines
shadowing it, lovely Eden with two hon
est hearts throbbing in the sweet concord
and mission Of love. 1t is consecraled
home, with a Bible blessing it and love
adorning it. Like the first Eden, a SER
pent IS there to begule. The strong man
Of the house is sinking into habits of dis
sipaton from daily visits TO the neighbor-
ing grogshop. \ terrible change is being
wrought. Another scene opens. y bro,
ken home, with a broken altar and crush
cd and dying hope clinging to the cherish
ed fragments. The sweet flowers that
shaded it have wilhered, and cloud, deep
and dark, rests upon its brightness. She
who was the soul, the sun, the light and
the life of that homegrown bows over a
new-made grave, weeping her life away
for him who fills it and who once filled
her soul with happiness and love before
the enemy came. Homeless and friend
less she turns away from the grave of the
loved and lost, to struggle with poverty
and want till the grave claims her, and the
Good Master bids her to "come up higher" ."
Another scene crowds upon this. A
shvering child groupe, Drawing the terrors
of winters storm to beg fo< bread
They are innocent, and were once clad
warmly, sat by cheerful fire blazing on
the hearth of an unmolested home, and
felt every want supplied The destroyer
came, and their father, guide and prOtec-
tor went reeling into eternity with savage
curses lingering upon his dying lips. No
sin or transgression of their own has
brought their calamities upon them, but
somebody has coined gold from their suf-
lerings.

DEATH FROM A SINGULAR
CAUSE.

Mr.. G. G.. Cooley died on Monday.
from the effects Of having a tooth extfact-
ed. Mr.. Cooley was a contractor in Col.
Colts pistol factory, where he was engag-
ed for several years. His age was 27
years. Some three weeks since he applied
to a dentist who extracted for him an eye
tooth, from which he was suffering much
pains The tooth WAS properly extracted
and nothing remarkable occurred at the
time, but soon after the operation was per-
formed, Mr.. C.'s jaw and face began to
swell and pain him severely. His face
continued TO swell until the inflammation
had extended to his head and throat, when
his nervous system became so much affect
ed that deIirium set in and continued with
but slight intermisslons, up to the time of
his death. All the remedies prescribed
TO reduce the Inflammation and remove the
delirium, proved Intellectual He could
take no food-Or nourishmcnt Of any am
cunt for several days previous to his death,
and sank away gradually from mere phys
ical exhaustion, until within some forty
eight hours previous 10 his death. when
modification took place, commencing in
the affected portion of the jaw and extend
ing TO his throat, and thus for ever ended
his suflerings. The physicians who at
tended bin, we understand, have remarked
that they never before, during their extend
ed practice, met with precisely similar
case, nor one that so completely batlled
their skiIl.-HarGord Times.

to paint an awful picture Of woe. With
these scenes fresh before the eye, let him
who sells intoxicating drinks calmly ask
himself, is there any harm, any sin, any
guilt in my vocation1 Is it right for me
to make money by a means which brings
these terrible evils upon my fellow men?
Does conscience assure me that | am
blameIesa' Shall |, in the last day, hear
the "weIl done thou good and faithful ser
want" while those who died drunk from
the rum | sold them, shall sink beneath
the terrible doom Of .'depart, ye cursed!"
Let these considerations be duly weigh
ed. There is a solemn importance attend
ing them that cannot be counted as gold
and silver can. Gold and silver can be
gathered rapidly by selling that which in
toXicates, but is it right! Answer it, ye
who sell. -Spjritof tie .4ge.

A ROMANTIC REGION.

Curious IrecS.-The editor of the
Abingdon Virginan recently spent a few
days in the White Top Mountains, and
other peaks in that range, aud .'in all the
region round about" In giving his expe-
rience, he says:
"The White Top is the highest peak
in the whole Appalachian range, aud from
its summit the most extensive and maguif-
icent view is obtained il has ever been our
fortune to witness. The trees upon it's
summit are just beginning to bud, End the
whole face of the mountains is carpeted
with wild flowers, rich in fragrance and
gorgeous in colors. While we were upon
the summit, and looking out westward
with glass at Abingdon and the farms
many miles beyond, a cloud came rolling
up to the mountain, which soon swept
across the top, careering like snow storm,
the wind whislng mournfully and winter
like through the naked limbs, and the va
Por hiding our company from each other.
From the southeastern slope, portions of
North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia
all fell within the scope of natural vision,
and from the northwestern slope the bold
outline of Old Kentucky marked the hor-
zon.
The most remarkable thing we saw
upon White Top was its crowds of trees
called Lashhorn. These trees are of all
heights, from mere shrubs up to so feet,
and the tops are almost invariably fiat, so
much so, and the branches so closely in
terwoven, that persons can stand or walk
upon them. Our company, consisting of
nine persons, had the curiosity to ascend
10 the top of one of these trees. where we
all sat down together upon the level plat
form of foliage, some 25 feet in diameter,
and two or three of the company actually
laid down and rolled across the top. This
tree is species of fir, and is, we believe,
peculiar to the peak. The timber near
the summit is small and gnarled, but at the
base the trees are giants. We saw and
measured one white oak 49, feet in cir
cumference, with 70 feet trunk without a
limb.
The streams in the neighborhood all
abound with trout, (the best table fish in
the southwest.) and their capture, though
laborous, is full of sport.

10 Ii. an Essay on Woman" writer
remarks that;-"Beauties generally die old
maids. They set such value on them
selves, that they don't find purchaser
until the market is closed. Out of doz-
en- beauties who have come out within the
last eighteen years, eleven are sill single.
They spend their days in working green
dogs on yellow wool, while their evenings
are devoted to low spirits and French
novels"
