IOLD JOHN BROWN IN OXFORD, MISSlS-
SIPPI-A CURIOUS FACT.

DlI11-h OOhlOO0 fhNA'
The Oxford Mercury of the 9th inst,
gives the following queer chapter in the bis
tory of old John Brown, who was recently,
as all the world knows, executed at Charles
ton, Virginia, for crimes familiar to the
reader. 1t SAYS
It seems that in 1867 he was in Middle
burg, Virginia, under the assumed name Of
Smith, and followed the business Of timer,
ant clock repaircr. lie was well known
there to nearly all the citizens, and to a
gentleman WHO'S now a citizen Of this place.
10 1857, that gentleman moved from Mid.
dleburg to Oxford, and shortly after his ar,
rival here he met the old clock repairer
Smith, on our streets, and they freely con-
vcrSed with each other. Smith was follow
ing the SINE business, and stated that he
had walked over nearly all Mississippi
He went to nearly all the houses in Oxford,
took dinner with the then Mayor, Mr. Mitch,
ell, and repaired good many clocks in
town out of order. We also learn from
many planters that the same man visited
their houses, and from the exact description
all corresponding with others, and cor
responding with the descriptions given III
the papers and the photographs of Brown
we have no doubt that it was the SAM
man.
But we have better evidence that this wa.
Brown than that. A citizen of Middleburg,
who recently came here, informs us that the
identical man Smith, who was repairing
clocks in that town in 1857, was recognized
by its citizens both at Ilarpei's Ferry and
Charleston in the person of old John Brown
So that the chain of evidence is unbroken
that old Ossawattome Brown travelled over
our country and town, and over Mississippi
ostensibly as an ltineraut repairer of clocks,
but really for the purpose of taking obscrva
tons and laying plans to incite the slave,
to insurrecton. He had assumed the call
ing he followed for the reason that it would
admit him to every house without suspicion
aud afford an excelle opportunity to i'm
part his object to the slaves
We have taken great pains in inquiling
into this matter, which has resulted in the
thorough conviction that what We have stat
ed is correct. Aud it is hardly necessary
to add that this extraordinary chapter in
the eventful life of John Brown affords ad.
ditional warming to eur citizens to beware OF
stroiling Yankees who are constantly in the
county disseminating Abolitionsm.

We see it stated that Mr.. Henry Shaw, Of
St. Louis, the millionaire three.score bachc
lor who refused to marry Miss Carstang after
being engaged to her, and who, as an excuse
for breaking off his engagement, attempted
to blast her character, for which she obtained
a verdict Of damages of 100000, is likely
to fare still worse for the appeal which bis
counsel took in the case. He appointed a
commissioner it appears, to 60 to New York,
to hunt up evidence of the lady's non-re
speciality. The effort is said to be total
failure, resulting rather in her favor than
against her. In consequence of this new
attempt to ruin her, it is said Der counsel
will now insist upon doubling the amount
Of damages claimed.
