Rough on IL Cow SteaIer.

According to the Brandon Republican,
this is the way they punish COW thieves
in Tennessee.
That was just punishment inflicted

who was caught in the act bya party OF
men. They cut the cow open. placed the
negro inside of her, with only his head
out, and then sewed him in securely
with rope. lie remained there four days,
and was taken out nearly dead. He had
a difficult task in keeping the buzzards
from picking his eyes out.

WAR between Russia and Turkey is
now a settled fact. The Cars mani
iesto 10 the Russian army and people
was promulgated on tuesday, and the
army was at once put under marching
orders. The TURKS are also on the
move, and that bloody battle will be
fought soon is no longer a matter of
doubt. The eastern question: which
has hung In the balance for so long a
time, is lat last to be
settled by resort to arms.
The war begins with Russia
and Turkey as the contestants; but where
or when it will end is matter that the
future alone can determine. All Europe
Is interested, aud it may be that all the
great powers of the continent will be
drawn into the struggle. Time only can
determine to what magnitude the war
which has just commenced will attain;
but one thing is certain, this struggle
will test the strength of some of the
European powers, and il they are swol-
lowed up by it, ii will be no great won
der.
