Old CrOWder Dead.

An old man whose real name ia
John Phillips, but who is better
known as "Old Crowder," has been
for years in the Penitentiary. He
was imprisoned, we believe, in 1881
for murder, and has for long time
been considered very weak in intel
lect. He was harmless and unohen.
ding, and latterly he has been per.
mitted to do pretty much as he pleas
cd. He used to feed the bear in the
yard and made pets Of the animals
he came in contact with. He used
to take tools in his cell, and small
charcoal furnace, and would tinker
away till late hour in the night
