CAUGHT AT LAST,
A murderer who Evadcd the Law
Eine Years Captured at Last.

Yesterday Mr.. Isaac Low, Sheriff of
Bradley coul ty, and P. II, Lowe, Mar.
shal of Cleaveland arrived on the noon
train, bringing with them prisoner, and
on enquiry we learned the following
facts:
On or about the 9TH of March, 1865,
two men named James Chamless and
Pryor Coleman entered the house of an
old gentleman named Bell, nine miles
from this city, on Beaver Creek, with the
intention of lobbing him. They knocked
the old man down and beat him badly
thinking they had killed him, when Mr..
Bellss daughter entered with shovel in
hand, attempted to come to her, fathers
assistance when, one of the brutes shot her
in the head. the ball entered the brain,
and killed her instantly. After robbing
the house, thinking they had killed the
old man, these Gends in human shape
left. The citizens rose en- maSss when
they learned the facts, and hunted the
murderers down, and the man Chamless,
was killed IN the attempt to make his es
cape, but Pryor Coleman got away, and
was not heard of again until last March,
when Mr.. j. s. c. Bell heard of him in
Bradley county and procured warrant
for his arrest from Justice Jourolmon. -
The Sheriff Of Bradley county finally
came up with his man, and yesterday he
was lodged in Jail. He viii have trial
as soon as The witnesses can be summoned
From all we can learn of the case, we
predict it will go hard with him.-Knor-

Self Defence.

The following in substance, has been
repeated many times, and is as ''truo as
preaching:"
Many an unwise parent works hard and
lives sparingly all his lie for the pur-
pose of leaving enough to give bis child>
ren a start in the world, as it is called.
Setting young man iafoat with money
left him by his relatives, is like tying q
bladder under the arms of one who caa,
not swim; ten chances to one he will
lose his bladder and go to the bottom.
Teach him to swim, and he will not need
bladders. Give your child sound edu>
cation. See to it that his morals are pure,
his mind cultivated, and bis whole natur
made subservant to the laws which gov,
ern man, and you have given him what
will be of more value than the wealth Of
the Indies, You have given him 4 start
which no misfortune can deprive him Of.
The enrlieryOu teach him to depend upon
his resources and the blessings of God,
the better.

epistles'--if we live ourselves right
straight'out, precisely as we are, we can
have none but good records to, be read Of

are always dreading that some one whose
good opinion we desire, will hear of some
thing to our detriment. Better clean

"IE WE KNEW" +"

The accompanying lines have appeal
ed to very many human experiences, but
we doubt if they have ever had sadder
associations than in the case of the late
Loren B, Ferry, of Cincinnati. He was
clerk of the Coyiugton Rail Mill aud
met his death a few days since under ap-
palling circumstances. When his mans
gled remains we're gathered up. torn frag-
mentS of those lines, which he had carried
about with him, were found and reunited
by the parents as a memento of their sad
bereavement. Mr.. Ferry was a promis-
ing young Christian just budding into a
useful manhood, and his connections
were with some of the most active Sup>
day-scbool and Christian spirits of Gin
cinnati. 1t is at the instance of some of
them that, with heartfelt sympathy, we
insert those touchingly beautiful lines
Ed. S, s. IT,
If We knew When walking thoughtless
Through the crowded noisy way,
That some pearlof wondrous whiteness
Close beside our pathway lay,
We would pause where now we hasten,
We would often look around,
Lest our careless feet should trample
Some rare jewel in the ground.
If we knew what forms we're fainting
For the shade that we should fling;
If we know what lips were parchipg
For the water we should bring;
We would haste with eager footsteps,
We would work with willing hands,
Bearing cups Of cooling water,
Planting rows of shading palms.
If we knew when friends around us
Closely press to say good>by, Fl"
Which among the lips that kiss us,
First should meath the daisies lie,
We would clasp our arms around them
Looking on them thro' our tears;
Tender words Of love eternal,
We would whisper in their ears.
If we kOew what lives we're darkened
BY some ttoughtless words of ours,
Which had ever lain among them
Like the frost among the flowers;
Oh, with what sincere repentings,
With what anguish Of regret,
While eur eyes we're overhowing,
Would we cry-.torwce! toryetl
If We knew? alas and do we
Ever care or seek to know,
Whether bitter herbs or roses,
In our ueighbors' gardens grow?
God forgive US lest hereafter
Our hearts break to hear him say,
Careless child, Inever knew you,
From my presence Gee away.
