AN ATROCIOUS MURDER.
Shocking Tragedy, and Escape
Of the Assassin.

A foul demon, who is an ex-Federal
officer and named James Corwin, re-
siding near the corner of Pontotoc and
Desoto streets, on last Thursday made
n most fendish assault on his wife, who
was in a very delicate situation. The
injury inflicted made her an untimely
mother; and, of course, left her in avery
PROSTATE condition. The brutal monster
who calls himself her husband then ran
away, but yesterday returned, and, while
his wife was in most feeble condition,
drew knife and stabbed her, from the
effects of which she died almost instantly.
After which the fend effected his escape
Of the many deeds that have Of late
blackened the annals of crime in Mem
pbs, we think none exceed this in fend-
ish brutality. Every good citizen must
hope that this wretch in human form
will soon be caught and brought to that
terrible and speedy justice which he SO
richly merits He is not worth the hemp
which will surely be used to dangle him
in the air The mistreatment of wife
is bad enough, but to mistreat and kill
her, as this 6end has done, the agency
of words are surely impotent to express
the horror Of all good people.

INTERESTING OccAsIoS.-T The services
at the First Baptist Church last evening,
were Of the most thrilling interest
Notwithstanding the almost impossible
condition Of the streets, from the excess
sive and continuous rains of the prece-
ding day, the congregation was large,
and gave profound attention to the very
forcible presentation of the subject of
the evening, by Rev. Mr.. Graves. After
which, number of young gentlemen
and ladies submitted to the rite of bap-
tism. The latter scene was beautifully
impressive and solemn, each immersion
followed by music by the choir, attended
by the organ, adding much to the solem-
nifty of the occasion. This series Of
meetings have now been in existence two
weeks, and may continue for weeks
longer, as we learn that there is no pur-
pose to abandon them while good may
be accomplished.

CRUEL MURDER AND RoBBERY,-A few
days ago a gentleman named j. L.
Beardsley, well known in Memphis,
very indiscreetly made show Of a large
sum of money, some four thousand dol
lars in currency and over one thousand
in gold, which he brought here to lay in
supply of goods, etc He came to
Memphis with mule and buggy, and
started home again on Thursday evening
last. Yesterday the news came that he
had been murdered near Nonconnah
creek, and Coroner Erickson went down
to hold an inquest on the body. 1t was
found that Mr.. Beardsley was shot
through the heart and badly beat over
the head He had been robbed Of every
thing, and the mule turned loose. No
traces of the murderers could be discov-
cred There is, of course, no doubt that
the assassin saw Mr. Beardsley showing
his money, and followed him to where
the foul deed was committed.

of the proprietors, for the purpose of re-
porting them. 1t is good thing people
can buy ready-made shoes, or it might
chance that old neglected boots which
have been thrown into corners for long

for use. Peg away until either one or

A younger brother Of Henry WARD
BEEoHER Rev. THOMAS X. BEEcHER, Of Ell.
mira, New York referring to HESRY WARD,
and the keen reproaches that assail him on
all sides for his Cleveland letter, says:
Hardly paper we take up but is lending
a hand to switch this brother of ours for
holding opinions of his own. Friends say to
us, He must feel it, and graduate us that
we are not catching such q roasting and bast-
ing. All of which reminds us of favorite
story used often by Mr.. Lincoln: A man, BY
name Sampson Pewee, had the reputation Of
being hen-pecked. And yet he throve SO
that his friends resented the scandal in his
behalf, until one day Pewee was noisily
switched out of his own house by his ram
paging wife. Then a friend demonstrated
with Pewee-'Sam! it's shame to let her
do so. | can't stand it any longer. You
are not man to let her go on So oh
said Sampson Pewee, with jolly knowing
wink you don't understand. The switching
don't hurt me a mite, and you don't know
what II power Of good it does my Sarah Ann!
I'VE have not seen or heard from Henry
Ward; but knowing him to be man of faith
and prayer, and Christian hope, we are
amused TO see any MEN switching him-let
them switch. II don't hurt him mite, and
does them power Of good"
