DISCOVERY OF KIT OF BURGLARS
TooLs.-Mr. I. ]. Keeton, Superintendent
of the Cabinet shop at the Penitentiary, was
awakened day before yesterday morning
about 2 or 8 o'clock, by the barking of his
dog. His residence is in the Hyne's Add
ton, short distance beyond the Chatta-
nooga Depot. He arose, and after going out
ON the porch, saw a man standing near the
house, but could not distinguish his features
in the darkness. This man was conversing
with some one near him, vet Mr.. Keeton could
not catch what he said. He soon after went
away; and Mr. Keeton returned to bed,
thinking nothing more Of the matter, as
there was a small grocery establishment near
the house, and he supposed that the person
he had seen might have been some one who
was connected with the shop.
The next morning, however, kit of bur-
glars tools was found in Mr.. Keeton's door
yard. This kit consisted Of a chisel, pair
Of pinchers or what is called a burglars
outader, one brass key, and six skeleton keys
CT different sizes. II is supposed that the
burglar had become alarmed, and made a
hasty retreat, leaving his tools behind him.
Mr.. keeton desires us 10 say that the tools
viii be returned to the owner, on sufficient
proof and that be will likewise meet with
wd11R reception.

WE are credibly informed that there is
not the slightest foundation for the assertion
recently made by the Press and Times that
Esquire Smart Of Summer County, was muir
dered by Capt Harper or some Of his men.
Many years ago, Esquire Smart and a
man by the name of Perdue, conducted
VIM. Norman to the house of a Mr. Den
hing, and took him out, and if our memory
serves US, killed him. Denning has a
brother who swore he would kill all of the
party, and he did kill Norman, and then fed
the country, but swore that he would return
and kill Smart and Perdue. After an
absence Of twenty years he did return and
Smart was killed, and he told several per-
sons that he did it, and also that he had
killed Perdue, who had removed to Illinois.
