AS soon as the execution was over, two
men were dispatched in pursuit of Jarret,
the uncle, and McDonal his accomplice,
and it is said to be the determination of
the neighbors to hang them both if taken.

A RIcn CAsE.-Memphis is decided,
ly great place in its way. The Nash
vile Union says that few days since a
case was pending in the Common Law
Court of that city, in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Helbing had sued Philip r. Boh,
len for breach of marriage contract, in
falling to marry Mrs. Helbing when she
was Miss Agnes Handwerkcr, and the
jury has given the injured parties $3.50
