AN OLD MAN WHO HAS Ssor sixty

St. Louis Republican tells this story:
At ono point on the Tennessee river there
is a place that has become 4 error to
steamboat men, and in passing i Icy. all
ways find some place to secure themselves
until the boat passes. At this point "a old
man, sixty odd years Of age, has made his
headquarters for several months, and the
peculiar crack Of his gun is familiar to the
river men, and sends thrill q terror
whenever it 10 heard. He has long,
heavy barreled gun, originally squirrel
rife, which has been bored out three differ
ent times, until now tho largest thumb can
be easily turned in the muzzle. and the
aim OF the old man IL one OF deadly GER
taintv. The murderons sentinel is always
upon his watch, and his retreat nas, SO far,
baffied all attempts to catch him, from the
fact that he is so surrounded with dense
swamps and deep ravines. Well informed
river men estimate that this old man has
murdered in this way not lest than sixty
persons, and yet he performs his. murder
ous work with III much earnes.Less and
yiror as when he first commenced. D

gently favored with its wonderfully speedy

unless it more wisely arouses all who are in

induce the Department and Congress, to mod

still more. The contracts are to be let in
