Rax. Anthony aewIau.

We have heretofore published the fact that
the above named Methodist Clergyman was
hung by the Pro-slavery mob IN Texas. Since
then the report has been eontradicted, and
Northern Democratic papers have been very
busy in charging the first report as a Republi-
can :. roorback." The news, however, is now
confirmed, as follows:
Rev. III. w. South, clergyman of the
Methodist Episcopal Church Sonth, writes the
Texas Christian Adpocate as follows, fully con-
frming the report of the murder of the Rev
Anthony Bewley, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, by pro-slavery mob in Texas:
EDITOR ADVOCATE Il was in the vicinity
of Fort Worth yesterday, and since my last
trip up to this region of country things have
undergone change, which makes it strictly
necessary for me to write you these hasty lines,
that you may be fully set right in your imfor-
nation from this country. 1 see in your pa
per of September 9th, an extract from let
ter from me in relation to Rev. Mr.. Bewley of
Fort Worth Eotoriety. At the time I wrote,
gave you what were the facts at my late Wis
it to Fort Worth vicinity. But wrote after
returning to Alta Spring, over a hundred
miles from Fort Worth. find on reaching this
country, that since ] was here before, the said
Mr.. Belrley aras folioared to the uicinHy Of
Spring field No, taken and brought back to
Fort Worth, and on the 1914 Of September,
1860, seas hung on the same limb Of the tree or
teaich DIR. Crawford had been hung before
The letter found near Fort Worth and pub
lished in your paper some time ago, was Ger
tainly addressed to Rev. Mr.. Bewley. 1t is
further said here, that the son-in-law of Mr..
Bewley, Rev. Mr.. Willett,a has been taken in
Missouri, and is now on his way back to Fort
Worth, where he will hang on the same limb.
This piece of information is by letter from the
eastward to gentleman in Fort Worth. The
information in relation to AIr. Bewley is true.
regret that the thing has got into confusion.
At the time 1 was here prior to this, l wrote
the facts. But he has been brought back
since, and was hung, suppose about the date
of my letter to you, or perhaps few days
prior to that time. You, however, have the
precise date in this, of bis execution, and l
think there is but little doubt that Rev. Mr..
Willet is on his way back-a few days will
determine that-if he is. he will certainly hang
on the same tree

MInitiatine 1 Students.

A shooting affray occurred at Trinity Col
lege, Hartford, on Thursday. which created
some excitement. The Times gives the histo-
ry of the affair as follows
"'frinity oftlate years has had the 'initlatory'
proceedings in full force. The class was put
through at Odd Fellows Hall some days
since. But three students declined the honor
of being done for subsequently one OF
them was taken to lions Hill Cemetry and
lashed to a grave stone. He represented Pa
tience on monument till late at night, when
one of his class appeared and cut him loose
Another was forced into carriage and taken
two or three miles away, and sung with a
rope under his arms, into an old we'll and
there left suspended. One more remained
Preston Davis Still, of South Carolina-a
quiet, peaceable young man, who would dis
turb no one, and who preferred not to be dis
turbed or personally abused. Last evening
carriage was provided, and Still was seized in
the College yard by two students, others being
near to assist, and they attempted to force
him in the carriage. Still, fully conscious that
he had harmed no one, and being wayayed
thus, with old wells and tomb stones in pros
pect, drew an Aliens revolver and fred upon
his assailants. In the tussde the assailants
and Mr.. Still was conducted into
the College"

Put Your Buildings in Order.

Now is the time to examine all buildings
and rapair them, if necessary. Roofs should
especially receive attention. and all leaks be
effectually stopped. The heavy fall rains will
show at once where their is a cracked or rot
ten shingle. No animal can remain long IN
der drop" without suffering severely. Rec
ollect that water let fall on the head of human
beings drop by drop, will in short time be-
come intolerable, and is one of the most severe
tortures ever invented. DO not let your stock,
therefore, suffer from this cause. Nail all
loose clapboards at once. A building with
one loose board is partly in ruins. Glaze all
windows-paper, worn-out hats and apparel
don't look well in place of panes; and besides,
they give no light, except into the character
of the proprietor of the building, OR his tenant.
Have everything snug about all buildings and
leave nothing un1one that should be done now.
See that doors are on their hinges and can
shut aud open; that windows be raised or
lowered, so that you may air your apartments
when necessary. and close them tight when
this is desirable. BY tight, we don't mean
that all ventilation should be stopped, but this
should he specially provided for. Stovepipes
should be put up carefully and well. Many ii
house is burned down from carelessness or ig-
norance in fastening or arranging stoye-pipcs.
Do all this, and you will feel better for it, and
have the approval of your wife for a reward.

SARzA-We have long supposed this celebra-
ted drug had come to be exploded hnmbug,
but We assured by those skilled in the heal
ing art, that not the Sarsaparila itself Is to be
blamed for this conclusion, but the miserable
worthless preparations of it that have been
palmed of upon the preparations
which contain abont as much of its virtues as
they do of gold dust. 1t is a commercial fact
that all of the SarsaparilIa gathered in the
world is consumed in the old countries of Eu-
rope, where the science of medicine has reach
ed its highest perfection, and where they know
the best what to employ for the mastery of dis
ease. Hence we are glad to find that we are
now to have a compound of this excellent al
terative, which can be relied on, and our com-
munity will not need be assured that anything
Doct AVER makes is worthy of their confidence.
He has been for years engaged eliminating this
remedy (see advertising columns) designing to
make it his 'cEef a ourre'' which should add
the crowning glory to his already enviable rep
utation. - American Gelt, New York.

An AFFLICTED FAMILY.-The Portsmouth
(Ohio) Tribune states that on Saturday after
noon a son of the Rev. S. d. Tompkins, rector
of Christ Church in that cty, while at work in
a factory, was caught in the machinery, and
taken ont with his skull fractured, and both of
his arms broken. The unfortunate yonth is
about g years of age. About the same hour
of the same day. Lewis, the oldest son. aged
about "a years, was thrown from his horse at
Wheeling, Va, where he has resided for the
past eight years, and seriously injured. A
telegraphic dispatch on Monday morning
brought the sad intelligence that the absent
one was dead.

Gold Dollars.

This little coin has become so unpopular
that the Secretary of the Treasury has ordered
three millions ofthem, al the Philadel phia mint
to b. remclted and converted into doub eagles
Every one re members what farore was created
at the time this diminutive coin was introduc-
ed they in many cases comnanding prem
ium from persons tesirous of handling the tiny
bits Of gold When first coined they were ca
gcrly sought after by almost all classes but as
soon as the novelty of their appearance wore
off thc:eoin was found to be not half SO useful
as was at first supposed. Gentlemen and
ladies' blessed with ii few of them were often
painfully annoyed by finding. upon examining
their leash account" that they had inadver-
tenly passed one of the little coins in place of
a five cent piece. and persons of dim vision
were often subjected to such mistakes. "A few
experiments Of this natHre soon determined
Them to refuse the gold dollar and carry bank
notes instead. Indeed, a reaction was felt al
most Immediately after their issue, and, instead
of anxiously seeking for them people were
rapidly disposing of their small stock, so that
in a very brief period of time there were but
few in circulation. Since 1915 there have
been nearly eighteen millions of these little
coins struck off at the various mints in the
United States. Now these diminutive frag-
ments of gold are pouring into the various
Subtreasuries and over1owing in the vaults of
custom-houses. The experiment has been
failure. What renders the existence of this
coin more annoying to the custom-house and
Subtreasury officers is that every time they
are exchanged they must each be counted, as
owing to the facility with which they can be
oounterfeited and tampered with, it would be
unsafe to determine their number by weight

AsroS1sAINa PorATo CRor.-The potato
crop of Iowa, for the present year, is reported
to be truly astounding. The yield in some
instances comes up to 400 and 500 bushels 10
the acre, and the general average is not much
less than 200. The qnality of the potatoes
is better than usual, and far exceeds the best
raised in any country we have ever visited
1t is not uncommon to find them weighing a
pound each, and some that we have seen
weighed three, fonr and FIVE pounds. Not a
sign Of rot er iRlcrfcciipa has been discover
cd. So plenty and cheap are they, that for
the past week many loads have sold al ten
cents per bushel. No danger of starving in
Iowa at these figures.

: TERRIBLE CALAMITY AT SEA-A Glou-

ceived at that port of the lost of one of
the mackerel catcllers which left the Bay
of st. Lawrence last month with full
fare. When inst outside Cape Canso,
during the night, in a thick fog. she
was run down by steamer, carrying a
way her bowsprit and feremast. and
staying in her pows What damage the
steamer sustained is not known. as she
passed ON without offering any assistance
to the schooner. The wind blowing from
the northward, they found it impossible
to reach the Nova Scotia shore, and af-
ter drifting a lne for two days healed
for the Western l.nsis, but had pro-
.ceeded bnt twenty fn.I- !, ,urs when she
became water logged ani unmanageabie.
Seven ofthe crew were washed overheard
by the sea, and he remaining nine took
to the boat They ware in The boat two
days, when it car-iz-rl. AMI before they
could get her righte,i two men were de
vouied by sharks. Bv this misfortune
they lost all their l.rovisinns. water and
oars. In this eon,.ition they aoated a.
bout for four days, during which time
two men died from exhaustion. One Of
the bodies was thrown oyei board aud the
other was kept tn. satisfy the hunger
which was consuming them, but Just as
they were about to partako of this .hor,id
meal assail hove in sight, which rapidly
neared and rescned more dead than alive
The vessel which rescued them was a
Portuguese. She carried them to Saint
Domingo, where they were kindly treat
ed and sent home by the American Con
sui. The name ofsthe schooner is not
given. neither the names of the captain
or crew. The steamer was probably one
