YOU'VE MAN DRowNED.-On Sun
day evening last, Mr.. - Beadles, Geo.
Nichols, and another person, crossed the
river TO the Missouri side, for the pur-
pose of bathing. They selected the point
near the Ferry landing. George Nichols,
it appears, ventured toe far and stepped
of iRto very deep water, and sunk TO rise
ne more. The young man could swim,
but he sank SO suddenly, he must have
been caught in suck, or was seized
with cramp. The Mississippi is danger
Gus, treacherous river to battle in, and it
lie really wonderful that people will con-
tinue TO take the chances. There are
hidden sucks" anywhere in its waters,
and the strongest and most expert swim
mers, when caught in one, sink to rise n
more. 4 law TO prevent persons bathing
in the Mississippi would be good law.

MURDER NEAR TIProNYILLE -lo
formation has reached here to the effect
that the body OF q white woman--a hired
girl OF good character was found dead
in the river, near Tiptonville, Tenn, last
Friday or Saturday, aud that the body
showed marks of violence and rape. This
much is known TO be fact by our in
fsrman; but since, the report has OBJ
tanned that the citizens had become salts
fed that & certain negro man was guilty
Of the herrid crime, and had actually hung
him and burnt his body. In regard to
The hanging aud burning, our informa-
ton is not authentic, but i appears 10 be
a fact that the terrible crime was commit
ted, and we know tho good people on the
river below US have had SO much of das-
;ardly crime lately, that they are not in
a frame OF mind to show much mercy to
such fends; and neither should they.
Hence we are prepared to believe the
