Hon. Luther s. Dixon has been appointed
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Wis
consin. He was born in Chittenden Co., VT,
educated at the Norwich University, and stud
led law first with Judge Poland and after
wards with Hon. Levi Underwood of Burling-
ton. He removed to Wisconsin in 1850, and
was soon appointed District Attorney for two
years. In August last he was appointed Cir
cult Judge, and now has been elevated to the
Chief Judgship. He was Democrat in Yer
mont, but like hosts of his associates was driven
by his principles to unite with the Republican
party in 1856. His promotion has been rapid;
wherefore we guess that he has not been delay
ed by any ditfdence, such as on one occasion
troubled his father The story is that the SEN
Tor Dixon, when member of the Legislature
of Vermont, and an intelligent member, too,
one day commenced speech. For while he
went on gbly, but at last struck for a word, or
preconceiyed idea, that would not come at his
bidding. Hating an instant, he then broke
out with-"Mr Speaker, guess l am scairt!"
and dropped into his seat. A large smile skip
ped round the House.-Watchman.

 He had been member of the Cumber land Presbyterian church for thirteen years.

Band of Thieves Broken In

We are informed by a gentleman from Howell county, former resident of this portion of the State, that for long time there has been well organized band of thieves on the borders of Howell county, m thlS State, and Fulton county, Arkan- Sas, committing depredations of all kinds. not excepting murder. Among the most desperate of this gang was one James Will son, who had so adroitly managed his ne- ianous plans as to escape judicial proceed lh9s; hnally the citizens determined to take the law into their own hands, and Wilson was accordingly arrested and fair trial gwen hlm before jury of ilrty-six men, composed of the first citizens of Howell ana futon counties, when it was proven that ne hat stolen hogs and horses: that he had been arrested for counterteiting in Ar Kansas and made his escape before trial: it was also proven that he had boasted of kill ing several men and threatened the lives of otheIS; satisfactory evidence was produced that he and one Df. Mckelvy had endea- vored to bribc the jailor of Fulton county to let two men, named McCov, escape from Jall while confined there for murder, and dld aid them in escaping after the iail was broken open, and of which act Wilson was strongly suspected
 After a fair and full trial he was found guilty and ten days given him to settle up hlS business and leave the country, and if found there after that time he was to be hung
 Said Wilson was formerly resident of Pennsylvania, is between 45 and 50 years ot age, six feet high, well formed and heavy set; has a scar near one eye, also one on hls breast, both from bullets; dark spots in one eye, caused by burns from powder; gray hair, tending to white.
 Officers of the law and all lawabidinr c!tlzens, are requested to keep watch for him.
 Inc gang was composed of large num- Der ot the most desperate characters and had, for long time, overrun the adjoining country, terror to all law-abiding men, but this, it is thought, will prove salutary check to their high-handed proceedings.- Ionton Ao Furnace.
