The Cow EuerillaS.

Mr.. Crownritch had a fine cow, soon
to be a mixer, fatally wounded near
Susan Lawrence's place last week. One
leg was broken, and several buckshot
lodged in her hind quarters. Wylie
Grayson (col.) reported the cows con-
dition, but would not tell where she
could be found, until he was promised
half the COW for beef.
A few days ago the Editors COW
came up with load of squirrel shot in
her shoulder.
One of two things will result from the
acts of these miscreants who arc prey
ing upon the stock owned in this city:
Either our stock will have to be kept
penned all the time; or, the summary
and severe punishment Of offenders
must be looked to. If some cow thief
could be shot, himself, we are quite
certain no one among us would be
found to complain at the act.
Edward Lawson was found in Lig-
nOski's drug store, last Saturday morn
ing, i'm dying condition. He had been
been drinking immoderatoly. Friday
night he was permitted to sleep in
Lignoski's warehouse. During the
night he entered the store and procured
two bottles of brandy and bottle of
port wine. He drank all the wine and
about thrce-fourths of the brandy
When found, he was in Il STOPPING pos
ture, hanging by one arm, which had
been caught in the railing surrounding
F'lanagan's watch stand, and was so
near dead that no means of resuscita-
ton could prevent his death shortly
after. Deceased was printer, and
claimed to have recently come from
California. His remains were decently
inferred in the Cemetery.
Mr.. ID. Stein, of Farmervillc, has
hauled here and shipped over the rail
road fully one hundred bales Of cotton,
this season, and has received freight in
proportion. 1t is we'll Mr.. Stein seldom
visits Monroe. Even with a railroad
terminus at their doors, our merchants
arc perpctually croaking about dull
times, want of money and lack of bust
ness. 1t appears to be Incredible t.
them that men like Stein are able to dc
so much business. When they bcgiI
to bid for trade and work for it prop
crly, it will not appear so incredible
In one season Monroe could double it
trade by the proper efforts, and it coult
be done this year by judicious canvass
ing and with the expenditure of littl'
capital. But, no; our business mer
fold their arms and swear at the time
and at the hard year, as though Il bust
ness ought not to be pushed more whe1
times are hard than when the country
is prosperous.

DR.. 70. d. HEWITT.

This Is the real, assumed, name of n
travelling impostor, whose ostensiblo BUSH
ness is the practice of medicine and surgery
but whose real business is swindling the
credulous and coniiding. He came to this
place in February last and remained about
five months, practicing medicine u little,
but swindling much more. He left in debt
to his landlord, his hotel-keeper, his printer
and to whomsoever was green enoughto give
him credit, or lend him money. He has q
family, consisting of n wife, one child and a
brother-in-law who stamIners terribly
Hewitt is a dappcr little fellow who puts on
style; is about five feet eight inches high;
has dark complexion, hair and whiskers;
carries cane, and wears IL stove-pipe hat
carriage, and stcalthy, cat-like STEP A
dozen good citizens of this place join me in
warming the public against trusting this
fellow Hewitt In any way whatever.

Tribute OF Respect.

Mr.. Andrew LESLEY, who lived near
Arcadia, Sullivan county, Tennessee, is no
more. He has passed away. He has
crossed the billowy wave of the mystic
Jordan. He is gone we trust, to the land
of eternal bliss.
Mr.. LESLEY was man who knew no
guile, whose bosom was transparent and
deep, in the bottom of whose heart was
rooted every tender and sympathetic vir-
tue. He was man who was always ready
to help those who could not help them
selves; to assist those who were in advers-
lty; those whose means were limited
the fatherless and the widow he vever re-
jected. Where Mr.. LESLEY was, in what
ever sphere he moved, the friendless had
friend, the fatherless a father, and the
poor man, though unable to reward his
kindness, found an advocate. 1t was when
the rich oppressed the poor; the powerful
menaced the defenseless when truth was
disregarded, or the eternal principles of
justice violated, that he eXerted all his
strength. But he is gone. His kindness of
heart is no more. Where is he? His body is
concealed in the cold earth but where is
the spirit? Where the virtues that could
win and the gentleness that could soothe A?
Where the mildness of temper, the gener-
GUS affections, the benevolent feelings
all that is great and good, all that is noble
and lovely and pure in the human charac-
ter? Where are they? They are gone !
Thus we see that all things earthly must
pass away-the great, the good, the gay
and the wretched, the favorites of thous.
ands and the forsaken of the world
Mr. LESLEY was hurried from time to
eternity without any time to prepare, but
we trust that he is now resting i'm eternal
! felicity. Although his mortal remains are

Deacon Dodd once feelingly said
About his Betsy, long since dead,
{" If ever an angel loved man
That angel, sir, was Betsy Ann;
If / happened to scold her, she was so meek,
(Which the Deacon did seven times week y
She d clap her apron up to her eye,
And never say nothin', but only cry
But, ladies, p'rhaps you d like to be told,
That Deacon Dodd, like other men,
Waited year, and married again;
But he married a most .inveterate scold.
And now It's the Deacons turn to be meek,
As he gets well rasped from week TO week;
But rather than "open his head " he'd BURST
He wishes the second was with the first
But as she's as tough as hickory limb,
No doubt she II live to say of him, .t .
. If ever a saint the footstOol trod,
That man-that saint-was Deacon Dodd.
