The nsmphis Appeal says that
Shawues Village, 10 Mississippi coan-
~. Arksnaas, where John A. AurTell,
and his clan had their headquarters,
has been converted into farm, and is
now cultivated BY DR.. McGavock. The
old log huts Of the gang may still be
seen, but they have fallen greatly into
decay and are covered with moss
The old sycamore tree under which
they held their counsels, was blown
down in 1856, and has been removed
to make room for the plough. Last
summer a "mill," as the natives
term It, was plowed up, which was used
bv Mnrrell for manufacturing the bo-
gus one dollar. The financial ma
chine was sent to Washington, where
it now occupies = place in the archives
Of the Cap,tol's curiosities. Murrell, It
nav be remembered, served twenty
wears in the Tennessee Penitentiary,
working Is = blacksmith. On being
released he wandered of into East
Tennessee, where he lived but . short
time. and died of consumption, the dis
ease doubtless had been contracted IN
prison. His grave is in the neighbor-
hood of the Bon Air Springs, upon
the Cumberland Mountains. His re-
mains we're disinterred and decapita-
ted. and then placed back. The skull
is now in possession Of one Of the medl
cal colleges East.

DuBuouE's GRAvE.-The Dubuque
Herald thus speaks Of the last rest
ing place Of Dubuque:
THE Bluff on which the grave IS
situated is some two miles down, and
is perhaps in every respect one OF the
most magnificent sights on the Miss
issippi River. Unlike other bluffs IN
general, it does not "slant" gradually
from base to top, but shoots up perden-
dicularly three hundred feet in height,
wall Of Jagged frowning rocks whose
dizzy, overhanging brow seems to
scowl defiant watch over the remains
entrusted to its charge. The grave of
the man from whom the Key City of
the North west lakes its name, is main
ly discoverablc from being larger
hole than several others found in the
immediate vicinity. A philosopher,
well verscd in human nature, would
very readily discover the grave by
picking out the most unsightiy cavity
of which there are several-on the
top of the bluff. A few rocks dispersed
around the outside like the ruins of a
wall give the grave an appearance not
unlike something reared by Colt for
the friendly shelter Of his fright bow

a dilapidated pig styc.
