rrasIsAl End q : Bloody career.


From gentleman who Witnessed the
execution Of Powell. alas Walker, alias
Watts, we get the following interesting
particulars with regard 10 his last mo-
ments: Having arrived at the spot
which was to end his career in this
world, he requested Q few minutes to
engage in prayer, which, Of course,
was granted. His prayer was feryent.
He said he was not prepared to meet
his God, and invoked the Great l Am
to have mercy on his wicked soul, and
to save his last victim -"that poor boy
I 90 cruelty murdered, and TO save the
souls Of all others that fell by my wick.

when the rope was being arranged TO a
limb, he desired to inakea clean con.
fession, which he partly did. He said
when he saw Bicknell coming, he
placed himself behind tree aud lei
him pass ON few yards, then taking
deliberate aim shot him through the
ear. His victim reeled and fell, and
commenced begging for his life, telling
him TO take everything he had, but to
spare his lie. The assassin told him
no; that dead men told no tales. He
confessed to having killed man in
Edgefeld, one in Manry county in '62,
one 10 West Tennessee several years
ago, and one In South Carolina. He
desired to tell more. but the "boys"
told him 10 mount horse that was
brought up and stood under the limb,
so that he rope could be put around
his neck, as they did not want to hear
any more. They were in o hurry "a

this world, and knew that God would
mete il to him in the next. As the
horse was about to be led out from
beneath him, he exclaimed: "God

piled: "God may, bat zoe sson'n" The
next instant he was dangling between

A HOuss OF Cod Converted into Battle

From the Lafayette qnd.) Journal, March 9l
Last Wednesday evening was enacted g
scene in the meeting house on the Laura
mie Creek, about three miles north OF
Stockwell, which was not at all becoming
to moral and christian community. The
minister of the Aforesaid church Is ]. W.
Covey, who few days ago, published In
the Journal great many testimonials from
elders and members Of the CampbeIlite
church in defense of its character, and who
has for some time past held protracted
meetings in the rural districts thereabouts
successfully. This man has been too free
In his remarks of denunciation of other
churches, which is not at all palatable to
the citizens generally, and has caused
bad feeling to exist between the two par
ties. 1t seems that responsible man of
the Methodist Church had got in posses
sion of certain documents published by tho
Campbellite Church, denouncing said
Covey as an imposter, and, under several
specifications, had banished him from the
church, The possessor of the documents
was bent on reading them aloud to the
audience after dismissal from service, on
Saturday evening, Feb, %, but failed in
the attempt, for just as he stood up TO re-
quest the attention of the audience, the
members made rush for him, and he
beat a hasty retreat, escaping through the
door with his papers, but that was not all
Of it; the citizens of the neighborhoOd
seemed bouud to have the documents read
to the congregation, atthe close ofservice,
and accordingly, last Wednesday evening,
after the sermon by said COvey, another
possesser ofthe documents arose and ask
ed the attention Of the congregation, but
when Mr.. COvey recognized the man
he arose in the pulpit and cried out,
'Dont let him read it Mem bers, attend
to him Attend to him l'' Then there
was rush made from the pulpit toward
the door. The outsiders" were seated
near the door, and rushed to the defense,
and before the possessor of the documents
was aware, they were snatched from him
and torn to pieces. Both parties had come
to extremes, and, the House of God was
converted into temporary battle field
Several knockdowns ensued, and blood
boiled hot, but fortunately no lives were
lost, The document man and his friends
beat hasiy retreat, leaving the other par
ty victorlous--inspired perhaps, with the
pride that swelled the hearts Of the old
crusaders battling for the cross.

Dexter 10 Beat 2ii7 II.
prom the Field, Turf and Parm.I

Mr.. Robert Bonner has given more
study to the foot of the horse than any
other man in the country, If not In the
world, and he has profted by that study.
We would rather be guided by his judg-
ment on the diseases Of the foot, than the
judgment Of our most distinguished Veteri-
naries. When Mr.. Bonner purchased
Dexter the horse was lame In one of bis
fore feet, slight lameness that seemed to
be permanent. After driving him on the
road, Mr. Bonner determined to relieve the
horse, If possible; accordingly, with the
opening Of winter, he commenced an oper-
alton on his foot After much patience,
and with no little skill, the hoof has been
spread In an easy and natural manner, 90
as to afford complete relief. The horse
does not walk the least lame now; and we
are informed that the shoe, taken from the
lame fore foot, worn by Dexter when he
made his remarkable time Of 2:l7 Ia at
Buffalo, fits inside the shoe worn at
present, so great has been the expansion
Of his foot under careful treatment. Mr..
Bonner makes this argument: The lame
ness OF the horse must have shortened his
stride, and II he could trot in Alt IA with
contracted foot, with the lameness re-
moved and the stride heightened, he
should be able to 20 faster than be has
ever gone. We understand that 1t ID with
in the range of possibilities that Dexter will
make his appearance in public, perhaps foI
the benefit Of charitable institution, some
time during the coming summer. He will
be exhibited on the Fashion Course, with
one or two other representatives Of Mr.
Bonner's famous stable. Doble will proba'

can do with perfect ease. II will not be 1
