mile from town, on Tuesday night at nine
O'Clock, with his throat cut from ear 70 ear
in fact the head was nearly severed from
his body. The murdered man was aged
from forty to fifty years. The coroner and
a jury were summoned and a verdict ne
turned that the man came TO his death by
having his throat cut by some person or
persons unknown.
We have never witnessed more deep
and determined spirit pervading any COM
munity than seemed toi engross our entire
people TO ferret ont and bring to justice the
parties guilty of this cold and merciless as
sassination. Two parties have been arrested
on suspicion We retain from giving their
names until some stronger evidence is pro-
cured than is at present offered.

count of the earlier proceedings, we give

From the Murfreesboro Monitor, 81
Amid the multitude of things that have
their existence in our midst, there are none
which are felt less and seen oftner than the
"colored benevolent associations" of which
we have few here, embracing in its men,
bership all colored creeds and classes. Their
objects are supposed to be charitable, but
co lsists Of large displays on certain days,
and suppers and SISTER Feeble" cotillions
of nights. There was a display of Sunday
clothes on our streets last Thursday even
ing Of one of the "sieties," the members dis
playing the white of their eyes, wearing
white sashes and gloves, and walking the
pealowl quickstep. 1t was reported that
the procession had dts leg broke in turn
ing the dark corner of town, but this turned
out to be too true. We are happy to state
that there was no fainting wagons running
away or filling of the streets with enthuiasm
on account of the movements of the pro-
cession, all passing off as sweetly as a sum-
mer breeze from a ten acre gOurd patch.

Of John Jones during the past week, and
succeeded in stealing his supply of meat.
This is the only case we could hear Of
during the week, and Speaks welp' for our
city. We hope to hear of no more such
cases, after the thieves have stolen what
they want.
From the Winchester Home Journal, ID.
PUBLIC wINDLEs.-Several weeks since
a fellow visited this town and proposed to
the parties whom he visited that he would
sell them ten papers of needles for one dol
lar, and much more than that, would give,
grant or present, without more money,
some one Of long list Of very desirable
articles, consisting principally of iewelry,
which was published in hand bills, and
which (hand bills were left with the par
ties investing in the needle enterprise.
The scamp was to call around in twenty
days TO deliver his goods, but the time has
run out, and thirty more added, and he has
failed to appear.
Guess this win be a wholesome lesson 60
our people, and that in the future they
will exercise more caution.
A correspondent of the Shelbyyille
Union, writing from Tullahoma, says
II is rumored that a lot Of outlaws who
figured during the war, and were run of
about the time it ended, have returned to
the hills in Lincoln and Franklin counties
and are now committing some outrages
upon quiet freedmen and upon Union men
who aided the Federal army while in this
country. If such rumors be true, nay adj
vice to all such gentry is that they had
better emigrate, for they are not wanted,
and will not be tolerated here. :" / know
whereof ! speak" They viii find that
bushwhacking Is done with, and that Union
men and rebels will unite to put down all
law-breaking and law breakers. This is no
climate for disturbers of the peace.
The Masons and Odd Fellows have
completed a nice and well furnished hall
at this place, and will occupy it for the
FIRST time this week.
