A Ru,let-Proof Specter.

| THO ~. Louis Republican is re-

story:
A Clerk in one OF The Insurance.
Offices OF that city, was sitting alone
writing, a few nights since, when
we'll dressed stranger came in and
inquired for MIR. McCulloch. The
Clerk replied that lie knew Of no
such person employed about the
premises, and having made this
answer, commenced writing. Two
or three minutes later he discovered
that his strange intruder bad not
moved. lie imm -diatoly surned
about from the desk at which he wac
seated and scanned the strange
gentleman's appearance, inquiriDg
at the came time whether he had
any further business. He made no
response, but coolly gazed at him
with an air Of Indifference. This
procedure aroused the suspicions Of
the Clerk, and he informed the
strange gentleman that unless he
could give u satisfactory account Of
himself, he should be under the ne
Icessity Of hustiing him out Of the
office. The stranger thereupon re-
piled. ave been sent here and I

Without stopping to parley further
the Clerk opened = safe near at

the came time informing him that
he would give him two minutes 10
leave the Office. The stranger did
not move, aud did not offer ary re-
mark in return, but gazed steadily,
with his hands behind him, at the
Clerk. The two minutes past and
there stood the stranger, in stdtu quo.
The Clerk then took deliberate aim
at him and fired. He stood within
ten feet Of the stranger. But not
withstsnding these facts, the siran-
ger after the discharge of the pistol,
remained as immovable as ever
lie exhibited no surprise whatever,
and offered no remarks. The Clerk
was of course astonished, and not .
little startled, and was at loss what
next 10 do, as he had discharged the
only barrel of his pistol which was
loaded After the lapse Of about o
minute after the discharge OF me
which time no word
was uttered-the stranger shook HE

walked leisurely out Of the room
and down stairs. The whole affair
was strange. unusual and unac,ount-
able. that the Clerk was com.
pletely nonplussed, and remained
stationary, for few moments after
The departure of his visitor. Sud-
lenly rousing himself, however, he
rushed down stairs into the street,
but the stranger had vanished.-
The Clerk has heard nothing from
him since.

Northern Democrats Hung In Texas.

| NOrthcrn Democrats hung III TehHss
About two years ago, DR.. j. M u.
Shreeves and Harvey Foster re.
moved from the vicinity Of Canton,
Illinois, to Texas, and settled at Rock
Creek, Johns county. They were
both conspicuous Douglas men in
the Illinois campaign Of 1858; the
former having been born u Demo-
crat, and the latter being an old
line Wing during the existence OF
that party. For some months past
they had become obnoxious to their
neighbors in Texas, simply because
they came from the North. They
were insulted, their houses were
searched and they finally command.
ed to leave the state. They had
uttered no "incondiary" expressions,
ior they were pro.slavery In their
svmpathiee and took no "Abolition"
papers. Still they were told to de.
part. The Canton (Illinois) Register
tells the remainder of the story:
On Thursday last, Mr.. William
Bybee, q resident OF Texas, well
known to many Of our citizens as a
dealer in cattle and horses, arrived
from that state. and brought the
melancholy Intelligence that DR..
Shreeves and Mrs. Foster had fallen
victims to the spirit OF outrage which
runs riot in Texas.
The two families, it seems, had
complied with the ruthless com.
mand, expelling them from their
homes, and they were on their way
to this state, when they we're over
taken by their prosecutors, and DR..
Shreeves and Mrs. Foster summarily
secured and hurg to tree. Mr..
Foster and tho remainder OF two
families escaped. We got the news
from DR.. Sbreews, of Fairview, q
nephew of the DIR. Shreeves above
referred to, and who has no doubt rs
to its authenticity. lie says MIR.
Bybee was friend and neighbor Of
his uncle's and an acquaintance of
fifteen years standing. No letters
haze been received from Doctor
Shreeves or Mr.. Foster for eight
weeks, by their friends at Fairview,
a circumstance of fearful portent, as
heretofore they have been prompt
correspondents. At no previous
time have they permitted letters to
them to remain 80 long unanswered.
We will remark, by way of ex
PLANTATION, that DIR. Shresves was not
All Abolitionist, but we are informed
by his connections at Fairview, was
in favor Of slavery, and WAS pre-
pairing to make investments in ne
groes.

cause OF this unfortunate affair."

owing to the TACT that they were
members Of the county court. In
saying this, we must hero enter our

Death OF an Eccentric Old Man.

years ago, a man Of 6ne literary at

Some years ago he ignored all
sympathy with the human race, and

the warehouse without the dogs

The Coroner and his jury arne'
themselves with sticks and stone
and entered the warehouse. In I

they counted fifteen dogs, curs an

crouching together, silent and sub
