| CHARMING observation-disclosures ven
able citizen or this city was one day siding
against the erection of gas works in this
city. An enterprising gentleman approach
ed him in the midst Of his harrangue
and said, "why are you opposed to erecting
gas works-they will cost you nothing un-
less you take stock or burn gas-you will
have nothing to pay unless you choose to
do so-in short tits nope Of your business,
unless you see proper TO make it SOP The
venerable citizen with charming disinter-
estedness, replied, "well, the truth is, am
| afraid the company won't make anything
out Of it." such dislnterestedness, in the
interest Of others, is as remarkable, as it Is
refreshing, and deserves immortality.

johnson and Bowman, srre,ted IN Mo-,
some weeks ago, on requisition from Gov,
Brown Of this State, and lodged in Jail II
this city last week, were conveyed by Sher
i'll Aydelett of Henderson county, to Lex,
ington on Tuesday. They are charged with
the murder Of one DOdds in that county
about the close of the war. johnson and
Bowman were soldiers in Hawkins teder
al regiment during the war, and we learr
that their murder of Dodds, who belonged
60 the Southern army, was most cold blood
ed and dastardly. After Sheriff Aydelett
left Lexington for this place, party of des
peradoes, who were soldier comrades o.
johnson and Bowman, passed through Lex
ington, avowing their intention to rescue
the criminals. The Circuit Court being il
session, Judge Walker ordered 4 deputy
Sheriff to summons large posse, and pro-
coed at once to reinforce sheriff Adylett.
This reinforcement arrived before the
Sheriff left, aud his guard was 50 large thA
the desperadoes did not venture to release
| their friends
