Capture of two Suspected Parties Near
Rougiur Green

We are informed that two men we're
arrested day before yesterday near Bowl
ing Green, KY, or suspicion of being con-
cerned in the recent Bank robbery at Rus
sellyille. The arrest was made by Detec-
tive Bligh, of Louisville, acting upon in
| formation given by a farmer living six
miles from Bowling Green, who saw party
of men enter a sort Of hollow in a piece OF
| low land near his farm, and afterwards
| found a roll of bills at the place he had
seen them. From this he at once jumped
at the conclusion that the persons he had
I seen were no others than the bank robbers,
and that they had entered the unfrequented
hollow to divide their spoils, and he i'm
mediately made known the result OF his
observations.
The two men who were arrested were
taken on to Russellville for Identification.
THE LADIES PEARL.-The Banner Of
Peace Of this city announces, in its issue of
this week, the transfer of the proprietorship
and editorship of this periodical to John
Shirley Ward of this paper, and adds
Mr.. Ward is one OF the finest writers in the
Church-the Cumberland Presbyterian
has a long experience in the newspaper
business, and we have no doubt he will
make one of the best ladies' magazines in
the country. No one need be afraid to
patronize the periodical-we will guarantee
satisfaction, for we know Mr.. Ward inti-
mately, and if we had had the whole Church
from which to select man to conduct
magazine for ladies, we would, without
hesitation, have chosen MIR. Ward. He
intends to enlarge the periodical to sixty
| four pages, and make several important
changes; therefore, he will be compelled to
omit the issue for April.
The Republican, Banner of this city re-
| fers to the fact in the following compliment
| tary terms
Mr.. Ward brings to the aid of the en-
| terprise valuable experience, cultivated
taste and scholastic attainments of a very
high order. He has not unfrequently, du-
ring his connection with the daily press,
wandered away from the dusty, beaten
track of everyday journalism, to enjoy a
leisurely stroll along the howery paths of
literature, and does not venture on an un-
tried and unfamiliar field. He designs to
make the Pearl an eclectic magazine, fur
nishing at pleasure such original matter
as may be deemed interesting and appro-
pirate Besides other important changes
| he will increase the volume of the period
ical TO sixty-four pages, and will be, there
| fore, compelled to omit the issue of the
April number. The May number, howev-
err will be issued about the middle of next
month. Mr.. Wards acknowledged repu-
tation as a graceful writer, and his known
capacity as trained worker in the edito-
| rial harness, afford the best augury for the
future and increased success of the La
| dies Pearl"
The Nashville Gazette thus alludes TO it
For years we have INDUCED a sneaking
notion that Nashville ought to be the
literary metropolis of the South, and the
accession to the ranks of an editor whose
abilities are tried and known like those of
! John s. Ward, is an earnest of the hope
| that is in US.
We can indorse fully the favorable ref
| erence to the Pearl, as it will be, under the
control of our associate, Mr.. Ward. He is
writer of talent and accomplishments,
| with tastes which incline him to the style
of literature which will make the maya
zine he contemplates publishing, popular
/ and valuable. We wish him success in his
new enterprise.
