cises were opened by singing a hymn, fol-
lowed with reading portions of Scripture

Jas. Park. Rev. Joseph II. Martin then
delivered an admirable address of about
forty minutes, on the subject of the Bible,
which showed on the part of the speaker
a very thorough acquaintance with the
subject. His remarks were based on the
words of the Psalmist, 1.-The law of the
Lord is perfect" &C., and were delivered
in vigorous, earnest manner, were replete
with evidence of learning and deep
research and made a very fine i'm.

very earnest in his appeal to the
enlightened Christian liberality of the
Knoxville people, and cannot fail to pro-
duce good results.

ponding Secretary were then read, exhibit
ing the operations of the Society for the

distributed during the year was 1874.
There now remains on hand sos Bibles.

NORTH CAROLINA OUTLAWS.
How Andrew Strong Was killed.

A party of desperadoes spent Christmas
at Eureka on the w. q &. railroad at
store where one of them was caught steal
ing lock. Wilson, the clerk, caught the
thief at it and took it from him. About an
hour after this, Andrew Strong, who had
evidently been drinking, came into the
store and ordered Mr.. Wilson to leave the
county, swearing that if he did not he
would kill him. The young man inform
ed him he would do so, whereupon Strong
left the store. About five o'clock he re-
turned, more intoxicated than before, and
repeated his commands, telling Mr.. Will
son that if he found him there at six the
next morning be would certainly lii him.
After saving this the outlaw turned to
leave the store, and as he lid so Wilson
raised double-barrelled gun that was at
! hand and discharged one barrel at the out
| law,
PLANTING EIGHTEEN BUCKsHoT IN HIS
NECK AND HEAD.
Strong fell with scarcely n groan and eX-
pired at once. The fall of the outlaw at
once spread CONSERVATION and dismay
| throughout the group of his dusky follow
ers, but no attempt was made to interfere
with Mr.. Wilson. Had Stephen Lowery
been there it might have been different,
but he was absent, and no attempt was
made to rescue the body, Rhody Lowery
| the WIDOW OF Henry Berry LoWery, the
defunct outlaw leader, and sister of An
drew Strong, sent in deputation request
ing that the body be delivered up to her,
but this was of course refused. Word was
sent to them at the same time by Mr.. Will
son that he would shoot the first man who
dared to touch the body. Nevertheless,
fearing a rescue might be attempted, Mr..
! Wilson and "A number of other gentlemen
/ hastily placed the body in. wagon and
conveyed it to Lumberon, arriving
/ there at Two A. NJ. The body was at once
surrendered to Sheriff Mcmillan and was
yesterday fully identified.
The Sheriff at once paid over to the for
tunate young man 81 900, the reward offer
ed by the county for each of the outlaws,
dead or alive. Besides this, there is a sum
of s., 900 to be paid by the State, the re-
ward offered by the government, under
authority of the Legislature, which can be
obtained on application. Mr.. Wilson is
quite young man, but one of much nerve
and determination. He is from the Yves
tern part of the State and has been clerk
ing at Eureka for some time past,
The rewards which he obtains for the kill
ing of the outlaw will amount to quite a
small fortune. 1t was brave act and the
people rejoice to see it so well rewarded
There is now but one of the gang left

Some of the authorities here think Of
making a requisition on the Governor to
get candidates for Secretary of State-only
twenty-five aspirants, 80 far as heard from,
for that position. Hon. Il. III. Butler, the
present incumbent, than whom no more
noble-souled gentleman lives, wishes to re-
tain his present position.
The gifted Mrs. Paralee Haskell has gone

THE ICE GORGE AT MEMPHIS.
Heavy Loss 10 Steamboat Men

The breaking of the ice in the Missis-
sippi has already resulted in the loss Of
many steamboats,, and several hundred
thousand bushels of coal. The latest from
Memphis on Saturday night says:
The river is still rising up to the present
writing, $50 z. NJ. 1t has risen three feet
since p. NJ. yesterday. The rise has
broken a heavy mass of ice in the eddy
from the mouth of Wolf river to Jefferson
street loose from the shore. II is now fear
ed if the rise continues this immense field
of ice, with the Dry Docks and several
steamers and large number of barges,
will & swept down against the boats at
the le,se with irresistible force. The
steamer a. J. White, succeeded in getting
"out this evening, and crossed over to the
bar, where the Yeager lies. The Arling>
ton dropped into the vacancy caused by
her departure. The James Howard and
the City of Augusta have worked in nearer
shore. All the boats that have fuel have
steam up. Great danger is unprecedented
from the field of ice referred TO above. The
re Is still running heavy.
