largest lot of hollow-ware that ever
came to Manchester at any one time,

at prices that can't be beat any
where around here. We are also
selling copper, brass, lead pipe and
pumps at greatly reduced prices.
Our line of stoves is now complete
Our No. 8 LEADER and FAME cook
stoves speak for themselves. Our
line of Parlor and Box Stoves are
all that can be desired. But we wish
particularly to speak in favor of our
NEW REGENT PARLOR COOK
COAL STOVE, which for elegance
of design cannot be surpassed. They
are made Of four sizes with oven,
and five without, and as far as its
working qualities are concerned we
know that they never, as yet, have

lor coal stove and holow-ware which

We wish now to call the attention
of Merchants and Dealers in tin

THE COLEMAN SISTERS.

Monday night, Oct. 20, at College Hall, the Celebrated Coleman Sisters ComicOpera and Comedy Company will give performance. From the press notices and reports of persons who have seen them, we feel warranted in assuring our readers and the public, that their entertainments are of n high order of merit, amusing and pleasing without shocking the sensibilities of the most delicate taste. It is so seldom that Russellvile is visited by so talented a Company, that we hope our citizens will show their appreciation of purity on the stage by giving them crowded house. This Is what the Arkansas Ga zette of Oct. l4th has to say about the troupe:
 '"rhe Coleman Sisters arrived last night and reheaI sed. Their entertain- ment tonight will be one of the most chaste ever given in this city. \"

 AND GEOGE COLE.

| We reported the capture of He1. phrcy, the murderer of Burgess James, | in last weeks DEMOCRAT. We received the word of their capture just as tic forms were being closed and could al that time only make mere mention oi the capture without giving details, which had not then come to our know ledge.
 | What we now want to do is to give the proper credit to the brave nd de- termined trio of officers, who with a de- gree of skill, bravery and tigilant de- termination never, perhaps, cxcelled, made the capture.
 John Quinn, John Youhg and Geogc Cole deserve the thanks of the entire law-abiding people of the State. Had they not been men of nndaunted courage, of remarkable determination and endurance, of no inconsiderable skill in managing the ''hard cascs," the three vile wretches who committed this most deliberate, cold~bloodcd and cowardly murder, would not to-day be i'll sllackles and chains, but in all probability would have been at liberty plotting and executing other deeds of blackness and crime.
 The murder was committed on the night of Saturday, Sept. 2lst, and on the night of Sept. 29th when the des- pcratc murderer had eight whole days the start of these three plucky officers, they started out determined never to turn back as long as they could hear n trace of the outlaw. By hard riding night and day, through rain and sun- shine, among mountains and hills, tliey pursued their game like well trained blood hounds. Into the midst of one of the well known rendezvous of desperate characters-Taney County, Missouri these three brave men followed their man. Here was the home of Uelphry. Here were his boon companions who had rescued him once before when he was arrested for hUrse-stealing. There iS ltlb odlt tifiu ocCuICs oub GC htlCW nothing of the three men who were af- ter hm-knew nothing of their pluck, determination and endurance; of their skill and shrewdness; of their fidelity to their trust as officers to see that all criminals should be brought face to face with the violated law. Keeping their purpose to themselves and quiet ly procuring the friendly aid of J. J. Reynolds, of Kirbyville, County, Judge of Tany County, and T. NJ. Cox, a prom inent merchant of Forsythe, (to whom also the good people of Arkansas feel thankful) the capture was effected so adroitly and quietly that Helphry's friends had no opportunity to know of it until the brave little squad had their game safely on Afkansas soil.

The Peabody Educational Fund,

At the meeting of the trustees of the Peabody educational fund in the Fifth Avenue hotel, yesterday, the chairman Robert c. Winthrop, made an address in which he mentioned with regret the shrinkage in the in come from the investments, and ex. pressed the hope that from other sources the funds would be rendered adequate to the work laid ont.
 The thirteenth anual report was presented by Dr. Sears, the general agent. He said that the work had made satisfactory progress during tue last year. The difficulties aris- ing from the poverty of the south, he continued, are now increased by the pressure of the state debts. The necessity of aid from the federal gov ernmcnt is now greater than ever be- fore. Of the two grand objects of this fund, the promotion of common school education has been thorough ly established, and the chief attention should be henceforth given to the professional framing of teachers.
 The appropriations from the fund for the last year were: Virginia $9S50; North Carolina, $6700; South Carolina, $4250; Georgla, $6500; Florida, $3000; Alabama, $3600; Mississippi, 5000; Louisiana, $7650; Texas, $7700: Arkansas, $5500; Tennessee, 12,000; West yir ginia. 5000; total, $74,S50.

WashinUton radicals

Washington radicals are looking cross at Senator Bruce. They say he is making unnecessary fuss about the Freedmen's bank matter. They don't want that rotten concern stirred just now-too many prominent radi- calls concerned--the Washington Post remarks, "when those rascals were stealing the funds and mutilat. ing the books they gave much of their time to fervent prayer that the Lord would bless the poor benighted negro and curse the wicked rebels It may be that they thought they had affair claim on the money in ipay- mcnt for their prayers"
