Come, beauteous dayi

So chide thine over-easer light
As thy long delay

Never can these sweet thorny roses

Night nath no peace like his who lies
Upon her bosom white.
She lid transmute

And all her beauty's nuit.
Nor dull, nor gray
Seems to mine eyes this dim and wintry morn;
Meier did the rosy banners of the dawn
Herald brighter day.
Come, beauteous deyl
Come! or in sunny light or storm eclipsel
Bring me the immortal Summer OF her lips;
Then have thy wayl

and Thornton remarked that it was very
strange; somebody had certainly taken the
meat. Key spoke up very angrily "EYou
talk like I stole your meat. Thornton
said he hadn't said any such thing. Key
commenced to curse and abuse Thornton, 80
that he ordered him to leave the ! place
twice. Upon. this, Key advanced to at
tack Thornton, and the latter drew a
pistol and fired, the ball striking him in
the neck, and killing him almost instantly.
Thornton then came to the city, ayerring
that it was his intention to deliver himselt
up to the authorities at headquarters. He
stopped OF the house of negro IA friend of
his), and when arrested was asleep in bed.
Thornton is copper-colored man, Of pow
erful frame, about six feet four inches in
height, and talks openly and candidly. He
looks like determined man, and has very
marked Indian features. He declares that
he shot Key in self-defence and while labor
ing under great mental excitement. He
was attacked by man about year ago and
nearly beaten to death, and when Key ad-
vanced on him he was fully impressed with
the idea that he was going to try okill him.
Thornton bears good reputation, and, from
all we. hear, was much respected by his
neighbors. He will be taken to King Will
