A Man Killed.

"A white lnalfAlamed'J ohm Nor
ton, aged about 80 years, was kill
ed by some person or persons, by
shaoting, on. last Saturday night,
about tilreemiles from Fayetteville
near the Railroad. we know
nothing personally OF the deceased,
but we are told that be bore q
very bad character-simllar to
that OF Burns, the mule thief
Whether he came to his death in
a personal collision, or at the
haMs Of regulators, we are una,
bleto say. He is reported TO have
been recently discharged from pris-
min Arkansas. During the war
HE was a marauder, claiming to be
Rebel, but not caring whether his
victims were Union or Rebel, SO
they possessed money or portable
property. la 1864, we learn, he
came to Fayetteville and enlisted
in the 9th Tennessee, under Major
Armstrong; bat soon after Col
Stauber coming here with de-
fachment Of the And Missouri,
learned about Morton's antece-
dents and ordered him to lula
homa under guard for trial. On
the way he made his escape, and
nothing more was seen OF BIN
hereabouts until a few months
since. Since his return he has
been occasionally absent, and his
abseace, tits said, has always been
coupled with the loss Of a horse
or mule sby some farmer.

TT is entirely different IN principle and &C
ton from any row in use, and has every
desirable advantage. viz:
1st. It is light, clean and easy; no pressure
on the back, with motion inward and upward.
2nd. II has no Springs or Iron Bands, thus
avoiding all injurious pressure on the back, at
the same time supporting the abdomen, and re-
lievipg the aperture of all undue weight

sure is equal on all parts OF the hernial aper-
