MICRO KILLED.--We learn from gen.
tleman, who witnessed the scene, that on
Monday, the 18th inst, negro was ar
rested in Mouse Creek, Tennessee, on the
charge of stealing watch. After start
ing to Jail, by some means or other, he
managed to escape from those having
charge Of him, but was pursued and over
taken before getting very far. He now
swore that he would not be retaken, and
commenced preparing for battle by gath
sring stones, rails, &c. When closed up
on, he knocked one man down and made
on effort to escape, but at this moment was
shot down and died almost Immediately
This should be sufficient warning to all
those who have any propensity for steal
ing watches.

an AFFECTING CASE.

e A young gentleman who says he lives
in Culpeper county Va, has recently met
with experience in New York which gave
him entirely new ideas in regard to fe-
male character. He states that as he was
crossing Washington Park about 10
o'clock one evening he was accosted by
the "loveliest girl he ever beheld," who
told him that she had dying mother at
home and begged him to hasten thither and
if possible, to save her parent. The young
Culpeperian, overcome by the appeal,
drew the supplicant's arm within his, aud
set out for the "scene of suffering" They
had not gone far, however, when stout
and ferocions looking man suddenly
sprang upon them, and exclaimed: "Ah
have You now !! You're pretty miss,
aren't youl And you, you young rascal!
you're the villain who has poisoned my
home and broken my wife's heart! But
I'll have vengeance now! The girl Sob
bed and begged "her father" not to kill
her, and also to spare "Harry," whom she
loved dearer than her own life, The
young gentleman was perfectly bewildered.
He could only account for the condition in
which he found himself on the hypothesis
that in some oblivious moment, when in a
state of intoxication, he had won the af-
fections of the lovely girl by his side, and
ruined the peace of once happy family
He was recalled from his speculations on
the subject by the CLEAN of pistol bar
rel, the muzzle toward his brain. The
"outraged father" with fierce impreca.
tons, ordered him to prepare for sin
DEATH" The girl implored her 'sinex5ra
BILE parent" to relent; which at last he
agreed to do on condition that the infatua
ted pair shQN|li agree never to soc eact
other any 10 this the young Vir
ginian read and forvently assented
whereat the devoted young lady seemed
much panied; but after embracing hin
violently, she walked away with melan
choly air. The "fathern watched her un
: til she disappeared, and then with warn
, ing glance departed. As soon as tn,
young man recovered from his astonish
ment he felt for his watch to see tn
hour, but his watch had unaccountabl
/ disappeared, and so had his purse. The
:. the young gentleman from Culpeper coun
ty understood the whole matter.

E~ We were visited on Sunday last by
one Of the most "uproarious" storms on re-
cord. The thunder, lightning and rain
seemed to try to Guido each other, and, if
that was the game, they all three succeed
cd. After dark "the wind blew, the hail
aew," and things generally seemed wild
and dangerous. But this "local" wasn't
frightened bit; he was under the same
roof with Methodist preacher!
The weather has been stormy during
the last three or four days.

THE FLAG IN FLASHING TON

THE FLING IN WASHiNGTON.
Sergeant Bates crossed the Long Bridge
at 10 o'clock and was met in Washington
with an enthusiastic reception.
Mr.. Eldridge, Representative from
Wisconsin, welcomed Bates in a speech.
The weather was unfavorable, but the
crowd was large. Bates wore a jacket and
pants presented him in South Carolina,
and sash presented to him in Montgom-
cry, Ala. He carried home cup present.
ed him by the ladies of Vicksburg, and
his flag. His health is excellent.
The President met him at the thresh-
old of the White House, saying: GAIL /
want to do, is to welcome you and your
flag" Bates was received and entertained
at the White House whence he proceeded
to the Metropolitan hotel, where he is
quartered.
Upon going to the Capitol for the pur-
pose of unfurling his flag from the dome,
he was refused admission. g.
After leaving the Capitol, Bates pro-
+ceeded to the Washington Monument.
Hon. W. E. d Perrin, of Tennessee, spoke.
He said, had Bates carried negro on his
shoulders from Vicksburg, they would
have allowed him to place the negro on
the goddess of liberty, on top of the Dome
The Capitol authorities are trying tc
shift the responsibility of denying access
| to Bates.

HaNL0N, THE ACROBAT.
.ssANiTY AND SUICIDE.

Thomas Hanlon, the gymnast, who fell
recently in Louisville, arrived here yester-
day, insane, accompanied by two boys,
whom he tried to kill and then drown
himself. He was finally arrested and lodg-
ed in Jail, but was so boisterous that he
was Kept paci6ed at intervals with the
greatest difficulty,
Mr.. Simmons, the jailor, brought him
his dinner on pewter plate, which. he
seized, broke in two pieces, aud attempted
to cut his throat with the two ed yes.
Fearing he'would hang himself on some
iron hooks in the ceiling, the jailor remov-
ed him to another cell, where he beat fell
low prisoner. He was again moved toan-
other cell lined with boards, and CONTAINS
ing no furniture.
On the floor were iron heattBg-pipes,
with large brass nut projecting at
jointure. When left alone in this cell he
attempted to commit suicide By method
of which none but gymnast would think.
He sprang into the air about five feet, and
turning, came down with his head upon
the brass projection. lie repeated this
terrible feat several times, and, when as
sistance arrived, the floor was covered
with blood.
Six strong men were unable to hold hun.
He threw them off with the greatest ease,
drove them out of the cell, and cut enc
over the eye, and broke another's nose.
When his cell was cleaned, he repeated
his horrible performance. Ills scalp was
cut in number of places, and hung over
his forehead and face.
Hanlon's strength now began to wans
from great loss of blood. The physicians
who arrived administered chloroforn; he
still showing violence, he was bound down
to bench in an insensible condition,
handcuffed, and his wounds were dressed.
The boys are kindly cared for.
| This morning Hanfon's condition is coa-
siderod critical, He foams at the mouth,
and Is hopelessEy insane. Drs. Mcfarland
and Kirkbridge have been summoned, and
by special treatment may aid him to re-
cover his senses, but he is so weak from
loss of blood that he may die at any mo-

DEAD IN HIS CHAR.--The morning
train of the Memphis & Ohio Railroad ar
irving yesterday at Mckenzie, where that
road forms a junction with the Nashville
& Northwestern, brought down among it's
passengers man named John Wharton.
He stopped at Mckenzie for breakfast,
and was appoarently waiting for the Nash.
vile bound train. Seating himself in
chair at the railroad eating house, his
head began to droop, and he was soon TO
appearances fast asleep. In few minutes
the shrill signal of the approaching train
started all the waiting passengers to their
feet except Wharton, who seemed wraps
ped in deep sleep, and brakeman fear.
ing he might be left, went up to him and
giving him a rough shake, said with a
laugh, "Wake up! wake up! old fellow,
and pay for your lodging, and go to bed"
To the astonishment of the rude prompter,
the apparently sleeping man 80 roughly
jostled fell heavily to the floor, and when
some of the curious crowd that Immediate
ly gathered around him lifted him up, no
was found to be stone dead.
No information, save that his name was
John Wharton, had been CLEANED in re-
gard to him up to the time our informant
left.-Union and Dispatch.

THANKs.-Thc thanks of the Murffees-
boro Memorial Association are due the
good citizens of Athens and Swcetwater,
Tenn, for the sum of S4S, received by
me OH the 9th inst, through some kind
lady, as modest as she is benevolent, wish
ing only to do good without caring to have
her name known. Though her note bore
no signature, her earnest, loving words of
our bravo dead, are sufficient evidence
that she was to them while living, true,
answering friend, and mourns them dead
as still Southron, and as Such, we thank
her.
Would that some lady inevery city and
village in the State would emulate the
example of our friehls in Athens, and
send us some aidsip our mournfully sweet
work, the only feturn we can make for the
precious lives Sacrificed in behalf of what
they deemed the noblcst cause that ever
stirred tho heart of man-Liberty, home
and loved ones.

Gr LOOK Our KuKLuxEs The Ath-
ems Republican says that large number
of the oldest citizens of that county have
organized themselves for the purpose of
fcrreting out the objects of the Ku-klux
Khan, and that if any threat or violence is
INDUCED in against any loyal man, white
or black, the lives and property of those
known to be or suspected to be in sympa-
thy with the Khan will be held responsible.
We think it pretty tight papers to hold a
mans life responsible because he is sus-
pected of being in sympathy with some>
body else who has made threat.
