Arnold was born, that the number of visitors
drawn to the place by curiosity or i'm search of
relics has greatly decreased since the war. Be-
fore 1860 hardly a day passed that some stranger
did not ask permission to look over the home
stead OF the Revolutionary traitor. But since
the war such visitors have averaged not more
than one month. Since Sumpter was fired on

monster seemed IS years ago.-Norvoict Comm

A correspondent of the Courier.
Journal telegraphed the following to
that paper Monday:
In Morgan county, Tenn, about one
week ago, one of the foulest murders
Was committed that ever disgraced the
annals OF Tennessee history.
A young man, about twenty years
old, came into that county q short
time since, and during bis sojourn
among the mountain cltizens he SEEM
ed to take special delight In exhibit,
Ing his money to every crowd he
should chance to be in. One evening
last week, while going from dancing
party, be was met by ruffians,
VINO grabbed his horse by the reins
and pulled him off his horse, and with
cudgels and rocks beat his head into a
jelly. After going through his poke g
they tied rope around his neck and
dragged the body to ravine, where it
was covered over with leaves and old
logs. Two brothers in the Immediate
neighborhood are suspected, but up to
this writing no arrests have been
made.
The murdered young man was a
stranger in those parts, and it Ia gen.
orally believed that he was fugitive
from justice. This, however, is only
conjecture.

In the Digs way when taken
out to run the fox, and has not
the master and the dog the right to eat
up the sheen or hog, under such cir
cumstances ? True, the sleeps wool
is worth great deal, and then the
meat Is good 10 eat; and this the dog
and his master knoweth right we'll.
But dogs are absolutely necessary to
make up poor mans family for
without them they would starve.
Hei &c it would be wrong to Interfere
with the dogs, as it would be impossi-
Die for poor folks TO get any good sheep
meat without them. X
