A Remarkable Murder Trial in Ten


In Marshall county, Tennessee, there
will soon be trial for murder which will
possess some singular features. Three
years ago young man in Marshall county
was engaged to be married to young lady,
whose family strongly objected to the
union. The lover ran off with his intended
twice, but was SO closely watched and hot
ly pursued by the lady's friends that it
was impossible for the wedding to take
place. He made third attempt, when he
met the girl at an appointed place, and took
her on horse behind him. Thus they
were going to find n minister to make them
one, when two men sprang up at the road
side and called upon them to stop. The
horse, and several shots were sent after
him He rode ON little way and fell from
the horse dragging the girl with him. The
assassins came up and commenced beating
the wounded man numerically, he begging
them to desist, as the shot he had received
would soon finish him. The murderers
proved to be the girls brothers, and they
tried to force her to get on her lovers horse
and go home with them. This she refused
to do, even by the persuasion of severe
beating which they gave her. They then
left the two helpless in the road, went home
and told their mother they had fix ed"
that fellow, and left the parts to avoid ar
rest. The girl and her lover got to the
house of one of her friends where they were
married, and in few hours the husband
breathed his last. The assassins were short.
ly after arrested, and before the day of their
trial they managed to break Jail and escaped
to Texas They were lately rearrested and
brought back to Marshall county. They
will be tried in short time. The wife OF
the murdered man, their own sister, ex
presses determination to do all in hel
power to secure their conviction. She livei
with her husbands sister, and has not gone
near her own family since the tragedy.

Singular Phenomenon in Ohio-Is it a
Volcano

Three miles from Bainbridge, Ross coun-
ty, is located hill of considerable altitude,
known as "Copperas Mountain" Out Of
the top of the mountain issues a constant
stream of smoke, while on its summit and
general surface the vegetation has withered
and died, until the whole presents barren,
sterile and desoate aspect, blasted as if by
q whirlwind of fire. The ground on the
top of the hill is so uncomfortably hot that
it is almost impossible for a barefooted
person to walk there. 1t is believed by
persons who have visited and inspected
this lussus naturae, that the entire interior
of the hill is mass of ignited combustible
matter, and that the fire is and has been
spreading with considerable rapidity. The
theory presented to account for this strange
phenomenon is that on or about the first of
last October the party to whom the land
belongs, was burning brush on the hillside,
and that the flames communicated to in
flamabe matter, probably crude oil, coal
or other combustible substances, contained
in the geological formation of the hill, and
that the hill being full of such matter, the
fire gradually gained headway, until the
interior has become mass of molten met
al. The quenching of the fire is, of course,
impossible from its situation, and how long
it will burn, and when, if ever, the fire will
reach point where it can be controlled,
can only be conjectured. At present there
is no danger to be apprehended to property
in the vicinity, but there is no telling what
shape the thing may eventually take, and
there are not wanting those whose imagin-
ative disposition lead them to predict that
this is but the beginning of what may turn
out to be a young volcano = Oleoeland Her

Four Men to be Hanged on Circumstantial
Evidence.

Four men, all of them whites, are now
laying in the county Jail of Burnet county,
Texas, under sentence of death-all to be
executed at the same place on January
10th. The names are Benjamin Shelby,
Arthur Shelby, Ball Woods and William
Smith. They were all sentenced for the
murder of Benjamin M'Keever. Their
case taken in all its details, is one of the
most interesting in the annals of criminals.
The evidence against them, though conclu-
sive, was entirely circumstantial MKever
was shot from his horse at night near the
residence of the Shelbys, his throat then
cut, and his body carried on horseback
three miles, and thrown into a cave. A
large rock was placed on the bloody spot
where his throat was cut, but this precau-
tion, instead of concealing the crime, led
! to the arrest of the criminals. The keen
eyes of frontiersman saw that the rock
had been recently placed there; so it was
removed, and indications of blood found.
A closer search resulted in the further find
ing of paper wadding that had been fired
from shot gun. On examining gun of
Benjamin Shelby's, paper wadding was
likewise found in it, and yet another wad-
ding that had been evidently fired from a
shot gun like the first, was found under
Shelby's doorstep In his house was found
a copy of the Chimney Corner, and by COM
parison it was ascertained the three pieces
of gun wadding had been obtained from
that paper
There were several other circumstances
pointing strongly to the accused men as
the murderers; therefore the jury who
tried them did not hesitate to find them
guilty of murder in the first degree. The
verdict is generally approved by the citi-
zes of Burnet county, and the latest ad-
vices from there indicate that there will
probably be no interference by superior
courts or the governor to prevent the de
creed quadruple execution.

Put Through the CatechIsm.

In the Christian IateHigencer are some
"reminiscences of the late DR.. Alexander
McClelland, once of Carlisle, Pa, and
in later years of New Brunswick, N j.,
from which we make the following ex-
tract.
"Dr McClelland's favo rite places of
preaching were in the country at some of
the numerous springs, and especially in
Perry county, Pa, where he could see
original characters, and encounter wit, and
acuteness, and shrewd controversy, even if
they were blended with the fumes of to-
bacco and old rye whiskey On one of
these occasions, after tramp with his gun
over the mountains, he reported himself
late on Saturday night, wet and muddy
to the last degree, at the door of ruling
elder. The elder, who had been hearing
the children and servants say their
questions before the holy Sabbath, eyed
the new conner with considerable suspicion.
AN what for moo dye gang such gait
as this, the night? Are ye fro the valley ?
Yes he had come from the valley. And
do ye know your catechism What is the
chief end Of. man?' That answer was re
turned, and then question followed ques

1sNEIss HENRIETTA, I am think

@sMIsS HENRIETTA, l am think
QNl ing of getting married, and l
want you to tell me how to furnish my
house. Come in and see it."
They had left the small streets long be-
fore he spoke, and stood before a large
handsome house in fashionable neighbor-
hood.
81 mean to make this home as perfect
as possible for my bride" he said, opening
door after door; "this IN ust be Jennie's
room, this for Eddy"
"Then it is Cora?" said Henrietta, and
as she spoke her head sank, for she feared
ment.
"Cora ~ he cried; ah, yes, Cora will
live here, of course. "Now will you help
me? / must have carpets and curtains,
crockery, and thousand things of whose
very names L am ignorant. am anxious
to move in here for a Thanksgiving dinner
to commemorate the day when first saw
Cora"
No one can describe the feelings which at
this moment entered the heart of the kind
ly landlady. Everything seemed dark to
her, the world which heretofore had been
happy one for her, made so by the good
ness of her own heart, seemed to lose its
brightness, but why such feeling should
come over her, she could hardly say. All
this passed through her mind much quick
er than you can read these lines, as she
said:
"Of course she would help him." They
went from store to store consulting, ar
ranging and ordering goods, the little lady
feeling all the time as If she was in dream,
and must pinch herself before she could
wake up. The odd, lost feeling lasted all
day, and when she came home weary and
pale, she shut herself up in her own room,
and tried to face calmly this terrible pos
sibility.

children wandering about, admiring every
thing, especially their own reflections in
the long mirrors.
But they could scarcely believe their own
eyes when they looked at Mr.. Jameson.
Dressed with care and taste, his hair cut
to the usual gentlemanly length, his beard
gone, he looked like another man. The
disproportionate size Of his head seemed
diminished one-half by the loss of the
enormous mass of hair, and his kindly
smile had lost nothing of its charm, as he
advanced to meet the ladies.
1t is time my masquerading ceased"
he said, in gentle, courteous tones. -
"Cora my dear, will you read this letter?"
This?' cried the astonished girl,
" this is the letter l wrote to Uncle James
Reed when mamma died."
EXACTLY That is the letter that brought
me from San Francisco, and that you
thought so unkindly left unanswered"
"And you are uncle James?"
"I am your uncle, my dear, and now
plead for me that the lady who has so long
given you an aunt's love and care, will in
truth become your aunt. Can you, Hen
rietta, love this queer little man?"
Could she love him? He must have
read the perfect happiness in her eyes, for
he bent over her hand and raised it to his
lips.
"My whole life shall thank you," he
said, and Cora took the children to the
other end of the long room to tell them the
wonderful news.
At this moment the bell rung and there
was soon ushered in a gentleman who was
cordially received by Mr. Jameson, and
introduced to Henrietta, as the Rev.
MIR.
"And now'' said Uncle James to her.
elf you are willing, we will at once have
matters SO arranged that you shall be Aunt
to these orphan girls, by still stronger
title" Cora came to her uncles assistance
and it is probably that their united argu
ments were too strong for the little woman
to resist, as few moments later the clergy
man was heard making few remarks
which he ended by saying, "What Goo
has joined together let no man put assun
der"
There were no pale cheeks or sad eye
in the group gathered around the table
loaded with Thanksg living luxuries. Cora
was full of gleeful mischef-a new elemen
in her conversation-and Aunt Henriett;
full of blushing confusion at the new EN-
