which never will be. The following we
heard related by the sole survivor of the
subject of the sad story yesterday :
There once resided near the lovely town
of Florence. Ala, an old gentleman by
the name of Wilson. He had toilsd long
and labored hard, and by his industry
and economy had succeeded in saving
considerable sums of money. A short
time previous to the close of the war,
this section Of country was the scene of
one of the most diabolical and heart
rending affairs which occurred during
our struggle for independence. Old Mr..
Wilson had been for many years stricken
down with paralysis, and was unable to
move about the house without assistance.
This lovely valley of the Tennessee was
disputed ground between the Confederate
and Federal troops, and armed bands
we're daily and hourly passing to and fro,
One morning the old gentleman's house
was visited by number of armed men,
but be did not fear them, as he recognized
among the number some who had been
reared in the vicinity. What was his
horror to hear them demand his money 2
He refused to disclose its whereabouts.
They roasted his feet before the fire,
until the helpless old man, in his agony,
told them to carry him down to the ravine
and be would show them the spot where
the money was buried. They then carried
him back to his house and began digging
for the gold. A negro reported thai. the
old man had money concealed elsewhere.
They went and demanded of him to know
where it was. He could not, or would
not, tell them. They took some books
and tore out the leaves and scattered
them over the old man, set them on fire
and literally roasted him alire. The
citizens were or-stricken on learning
of the horrible crime perpetrated on the
good old mar, and went forth in search
of the murderers. They succeeded in
arresting only two of them, and these
we're brought TO a speedy trial. The evil
dence was very positive against them,
aud none doubted their guilt. In
lonely, dreary and gloomy spot, near
Florence, surrounded by dense woods,
where ghosts and hobgoblins may be
supposed to wander forth at mid. day,
they we're taken and there executed over
their graves uru va TTFC .

HEATH Il Co. s WELL. BoRER -Messrs.
R. Fletcher 4 Co. have purchased the
right in Tennessee of the inventors, and
are now sinking wells and disposing of
county rights In company with Mr.. G..
c. Price we witnessed the performance of
one of these wells near St. Agnes Acsd-
envy, and from the demonstration we
there observed, we have no hesitancy in
predicting complete revolution in we'll
digging in the future. By this process
a well can be sunk in few hours. II is
simple and complete-a small child can
land the water with all ease. 1t is the
design Of Messrs. Fletcher & Co. to sink
one OF their wells in Court Square in a
few days. The company is making large
preparations to introduce it all over the
country. Parties that have purchased
county rights say they can't keep up with
the orders. Prospectors after oil will
find the Heath augur to be the identical
instrument they need. Fletcher says be
finds it impossible to live on the fine arts,
and has concluded to bore it out of the
ground. We think be has certainly struck
the tide that leads to fortune. See their
card elsewhere in the LEDGER.

A DEBUT. The silver cornet band
of the Sodality Of ST. Peters Church,
made their debut upon the street last
evening, serenading the clergy of ST.
Peters and St. Pairick's, the Offices Of
the morning papers, and ST. Agnes
Academy, at each of which they we're
cordially received and highly compli-
mented upon the proficiency they have
attained in the use of their instruments.
Having been organized only little
over six weeks, they have accomplished
a thorough mastery of the rudiments
and require but continued practice
to perfect themselves in the musical
art. Much credit is especially due to
Mr.. VIM. Warrington, the band-master,
for his labors with his class. The band
consists of thirteen silver instruments,
which we're made to order for them in
Boston, besides which there are one bass
aud six tenor drums, and two pair Of
cymbals-in all twenty-five instruments.
The officers of the band are William War
rington, Band-master; Albert Jones,
President; W. J. McKeon, Secretary !;
and John ]. Duffy, Treasurer.

Under the lamp lights, dead in the street,
Delicate, fair, and only twenty,
There she lies,
Face to the skies,
Starved to death in q city Of plenty,
Spurned by all that is pure and sweet,
Passed by busy and careless feet
Hundreds bent upon folly and pleasure;
Hundreds with plenty, and time, and leisure
Leisure to speed Chrlst's mission oetoT,
To teach the erring and raise the io"''-

A blush shall bring to the saintllest 1ace.

Peace in higher aud better place;

Some fond mother proud of the task,
Has stopped to finger each dainty curl;
Some vain father has bowed to ash
A blessing for her, his darling girl.

OF all the tenderness love, and care,
Lonely watching and sore hcart-achc,
All the agony burning tears,
JOYS and sorrows, hopes and fears,
Brea he'd and suffered for her sweet sake.

Out where the daisies and buttercups are,
Out where life.giving breezes blow,
