Nj RDfR or SHERIFF AND HIS ASSISTANT ny
Cot STERrEirEHs.--Thc Southcrn Giizcn gives the
particulars of outrageous murder by counter
letters in Campbell county, Tennessee. A letter
from Jacksboro, to IL gentleman III Knoxville,
says:
We hal an awful occurrence here to-day, in tho
mountains, four miles north of this. A man hy
the name of Turner, Of Anderson county, and
other named Lewis, stad at Loban Sharp's last
night, and offered him n 500 counterfeit Hamburg
bin. Sharp said he could not change it, but would
go to town with them. After they got into town
they paid their bills and left and Sharp got the
Sheriff, S. ID. Quecner, and Travis Gibson, and
pursued them. When they got up with them,
Queener put his hand on Turner and said he
rested him. Turner pulled out his pistol and
wounded Queencr. They both jumped off their
horses. and Queener knocked Turner down and
held him until he saw Lewis stab Gibson, causing
immediate death. Queener ran up, and was also
stabbed in the neck, above the collarbone, and in
the shoulder, and fell (lIe has since expired
Sharp about this time came up, and Lewis and
Turner broke and ran.
The Postmaster at Jacksboro' has instantly dis
patched intelligence Of the affair; and as the
sins are supposed to have made for some point on
the railroad, it may be hoped that they will be ar
rested
This occurrence gives additional assurance of the
existence of band of counterfeters in that region
and the citizens cannot be too vigant

A MYSTERIOUS CAsE.-Quite an excitement is
said to exist near Miersburg, Iowa, in conse-
quence of the spiritual revelations of boy, who
assertsthat Thomas, whose mysterious disappear
ance was noticed year ago, shot and then
thrown into the well of one of the persons arrest
ed about that time on suspicion of beid,. his muir
derer. and that his horse was backed down the
we'll alive, and the well filled up. A large number
of persons congregated about the well on the 3rd
ult, to dig down and ascertain the truth of the
boys story. When they had dug down about 20
feet stencil arose so nauseating that they had to
fill up the well. 1t was their determination, how
ever to dig from the side of the well. But the
owner swears he will shoot any ono who makes
any further attempts.
