brought back to Sheloy's house about
dark. That night large party tf
men went to Shelby's residence
and told the guards they must give WAGE
up to them. This the gentlemen who had
the prisoner in charge refused TO do, Wh-re-
upon the unknown party forclbiy tcos
Wade from his captors. After going
short distance with their prisoner They
roped his neck and suspended HIM TO
tree so that his feet balely touched the
ground. Several shots were heard, and
when daylight came the morning rays re-
yealed the lifeless body of the murderer
riddled with bullet holes and dangling
from the tree of death, a terrible warning 20
others, and fearful commentary on the
dark crime which had so accursed the
would be murderer.
Intelligence received yesterday states that
John Shelby will likely recover, bis wounds,
of which there are two, not being so serious
as at first believed, the jugular VEN having
been missed by the murderous blade. Inc
younger Wade, whose skull was crushed by
the blow from the fence rail, is not expect
ed to survive his injuries.
But will turn from the further contem-
plation of crime, in EhoSe he'll dye tllts

two miles from this city, whose fAirest citl-
Zens attended in large numbers. Inc
GAINESVILLE Brass Band and string band
from Nashville furnished music for the oc-
casion, which will long be cherished as one
of pleasure and delightful enjoyment. Dun
bars cave is romantic in its site and oilers
to the lover of nature, grandest scenery
The entrance where "sets are arranged IN
order" is very large and the temperature at
all times is cool enough to "see your
breath" Bursting from the basement
under the entrance gushes forth
clear brooklet, whose spark
ling like the eye Of beauty's self, in
music sounds flow down the shaded vale,
where h)weIs and the wild vines grow,
Above in picturesque carving tower the
hills studded with oak and evergreen,
through whose openings fad the golden sun
ray, from the smiling heavens falling down
to kiss the laughing water in It's miniature
| pools or cleaning into diamond drops IL
leaping spray. Ills here amid the grand,
the picturesque and lovely place of nature
the young, the beautiful, the gay OF Clarks-
vile are wont to come. With music, sigh

sentiment is kindly nourished and all tie
deeper and more sacred thoughts in joyous
grace their meaning find. How pleasant
and what secret thoughts are Whispered
here tits for others, not TO- me, to tell. But

THAT GRAY NAG
which one of our dashiDg Young men drove
to the buggy wherein was the pelle OF
GAINESVILLE. Seeing the strange condition Of
this horse. e., venomous fire eye allied
to bony abutments pTotcuding at an angie
of forty-five degrees in q northeastern di-
rection just above the dpOSteTiOrt--the pc

horses, fearing the beast might possibly up
set the vehicle and do a little damage to its
fair inmate. The young man refused, said
be always took them straight, could row
| her over the rough breaks in the road and
land safely at home. To prove this lie
drove the horse rapidly enough, passed
everybody on the road, and in consequence
that horse now has the detiriuna trefaeRS.
The young man will pay $500 for this
horse, but tells re for the benefit OF nu-
merously enquiring friends that he has
plenty of money to get another. Obituary
