Leap Year.

We presume, says an exchange, all the
'sweet sixteens," and the old maids too,
know that the present year, 1872, is leap
year, when the girls are privileged to take
the boys to parties, theatres, treat them
ts oysters, pay all the bills, and "Pop the
question" if they feel inclined. Tie
modest young men, aud those ancient fe-
males of 'single- blessedness" can now
prepare themSelves-they have u chance
for "wedded bliss" The former can stay
at home aud listen to matrimonial propo-
sitions from soft, ruby lips, aud the later
tPoOr thiugsD can wander up and down
over the earth in quest of a mate-and
We advise this later class to snake hay
while the sun Shines" for ere custom
gives them another opportunity they will
be four Yeas older, and "muchly" more
faded and wrinklel. We would marry
all the good looking old maids if We could /;
but this is out OF the qnestion-Grant
would arrest rs for u Mormon if We were
to do such u thing.

The Murderer of Gen. John IL. Nor
gan Burned to Death.

SuH Dulntu u Dtdlu'
A gentleman Of u%nduubteG veracity and
a citizen of our county, informs US that u
man by the name of Miles Leatberwood, a
citizen Of Polk county, Tenn, and known
by many, as the murderer of Gen. John
II. Morgan, the particulars of whose cap
ture aud death we published some weeks
since, was recently employed by the
DucktOwn Mining Company as a wood
chopper. Some two miles from tue town,
he, in company with two others named
Walton and L.~eatherwOnd, the latter a
brother of Miles LeatherwOod, built n
camp Of heavy slabs, to shelter them from
the weather while they were engaged in
filing their wood contract for the COM
pany, when one night not long since, the
camp took fire, fell in upon aud crushed
them to death. The camp was consumed
and the men burned terribly before any
one came to their assistance. Miles Leath-
erwood, who had often boosted of being
the murde er Of Gen. John II. Morgan,
and which fact was well known by his
comrades and others, had both his legs
burned off above the kuoo. These facts
can be suL%stuntiuted. Thus the murderer
of the gallant Morgan, came to all uutime-
ly death.
