classes would fill large volume:
s. W. Clark murdered Thomas Barbour during the

James Gardiner, abettOr OF Clarks In that murder

Lastly, and very recently, Calhoun Benham, who wa
aided both in the planning and execution Of that deberat
and aominable murder has been made District Attorne

ExlIed.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial furnishes the following account Of
a new outrage by the shareholders:
1t appears the origin of the troubles
grew out of some, or perhaps all of the ex-
PEELED, being unwilling to join in the party
for recapturing the "old man Bell" who
was taken from the Bradenburg Jail by his
two noble sons--having first been kidnap'
ped and taken from his home in Indiana
on charge of enticing away slaves, and
because the expelled would not join the re.
capture party, they have since been looked
on as being anti-slavery.
Some time since, the murdered man, an
old resident, liberated his slaves. He was
at ones ordered to leave, but not having
done so up to some three weeks ago, q
drunken mob called at his house after
night, Che sitting quietly reading at hi'
fireside at the time.) He went out, wa'
told that he must leave at once; he refused
saying he had violated no law, and being
on his own premises, should not leave, at thu
Same time told them to leave, when he wa'
twice stabbed, and died in twenty minutes
The murderer was arrested and let to bal
at eight hundred dollars. Nine days sinc'
fifteen of the citizens wero ordered to b.
out of the county within eight days, anC
have accordingly left.

had been nearly blind, and totally unable

from chronic Inflammation and neuralgia,
has been entirely relieved by two weeks
treatment, and is now able to bear the
light and to read ordinary print; the tear
duct was also closed, and Dr. w. cured
that by delicate surgical operation
Another patient, suffering from deafness
and noises in the head, was cured in three
visits. And we know Of the case of a young
lady who had suffered from an offensive
discharge from the ear and deafness for
many years, but, although many physi-
clans had been consulted, the cause was
never discovered until DR.. Walker exa-
mined her; he at once said that the diff
Guilty originated from a small polypus
growing close to the drum of the ear; he
removed it there and then, and from that
time the discharge ceased and hearing was
restored.
Such cases are Of much interest and i'm
portance, and as Dr. Walker has long stood
in the front rank of his profession, and is
quoted authority in ophthalmic surge

those who suffer from any disease of the
