DEATH OF a RELEASED KUKLUx PRISONER IN
NoRFoLK.--A white man named William
Teal, q native of Rutherford county, n. c.,
died on the steamship Wyanoke last evening
Just as she made fast to the wharf. Teal was
one of the kukluX prisoners convicted at
Raleigh more than year ago, and sentenced
to three years Imprisonment in the Albany
penitentiary. lie was recently pardoned by
the President on account of his physical con-
dition.-he beng in the last stage OF con-
sumption-anl his devoted wife had gone
on for him aud brought him thus far on his
way home, when death put an end TO his suf-
ferings. Hewas twenty-eight years old, and
leaves a widow and three small children in
very necessitous circumstances. He will lie
buried by the city authorities Eve suppose ;
If not, by private charity to-day.
But what is to become Of his sorrow
stricken widow? She is almost absolutely
penniless, and sorely in need of sympathy
and aid Will not our generous-hearted citi-
zens, whose ears are ever open to the appeals
of charity, help this poor woman to return
to her desolate home and fatherlcss babes,
and give her little something to aid her in
her hard struggle with poverty and sorow?-
