Lei Il be Corrected.

The Appeal of this morning has in its
local column the following paragraph
Several young men of most excellent
qualities and very genial dispositions,
had little quarrel with several others
of the same ilk at Charley Howard 8
saloon last evening. In a scuffle which
resulted, one bit another chaps thigh so
cleverly thata considerable cross section
came within three hair-breadths of lesv-
ing its base"
No such quarrel or difficulty took
place in my house, and as the paragraph
is we'll calculated to do me an injsry, l
hasten to contradict its statements. The
Appeal local has been imposed upon,
and he should be more careful as to
facts in future. CHARLEY HOWARD.

AnArkaa.ss sherIG murdered.

A few days since Deputy Sheriff N.
r. Bowen, of Wilson county, Arkansas,
was instructed to arrest an unruly and
boisterous negro, who for months had
daily made the little town of Clarendon
tremble by his outrageous conduct. Pro-
ceeding to do his duty by walking toward
the law-breaker, the deputy was accosted
by another negro a friend of the rufiian,
with: :" If you lay your hands upon that
man will kill you" The officer turned
to this new source of disturbance, and
laid his hand upon the negros telling
him to consider himself under arrest.
These were the last words Of the officer
for simultaneous with the command of
the law bowie knife in the hands of the
offender cut poor Bowen's throat from
ear to ear. As soon as the deed was &C.
complished the murderer fled, to be fred
at by the almost inanimate body, which
fell to the ground corpse the moment
the echo of the pistol shot had died away.
The murderer was pursued. captured,
aud conveyed to the Clarendon Jail.
The victim was q young man Of good
standing, exceedingly popular, and
brave and efficient officer.

This is one Of the notable books OF the timoe,
and decidedly one Of the best written and re-
markably interesting Of American biographies.
We do moi propose to review Il from political
standpoint, for Il is not designed as n mere
campaign book, but work of standard value,
from the pen Of writer Of distinguished rep
utation, whose Biographies Of oil eminent
Americans, are well known aud highly valued.
Mr. PARToNs writings are all attractive on nc
count Of the care he exercises il collecting in
cidents, aud the ingenuity with whish Ne weaves
them into the story Of life, to relieve The iedi-
um Of dry facts aud monolonous natraton.,
Such work cannot be reviewed in the com =
pass Of an ordinary book notice, aud II Is there
fore best TO simply inform the reader, that II
was commenced several years ago before Mr..
GREELEY was thought of as presidential cam
didate, and faithfully written as one voume in
the series Of PARr1S's biographies, Simply for
its general interest aud intimate conteotion
with the history Of shs country, for near half a
century Commencing with his BIRTH and 'ollnw-
ing him through all the vicisitudes 81 early
years of trial and adversely, the school that
developed the wonderful power that marks his
ripper years and carried him forward u the time
when the people honored him with TIN nnmiua-
ton for the highest place in our lind. Not
written in the interest Of Party, IL is afull and
Impartial History, entirely free from partisan
bias, and worthy place in every lbrirv in the
land. As a book Of reference, agudeto young
men, and an incentive to renewed Gtivi,y for
every aspiring mind.

bouud and appropriately ilustra. ~ IS sold

cred, and political predictions asid It appeais
