Sometime since man named White
was killed some distance above Chicot
in this parish by a boy named Barton.
On the preliminary examination evil
dence was elected tending to show that
a man named Clark was concerned in
the crime and the fact that Clark went
to Texas about that time, corroborated
this testimony. Sheriff Duson caused
Clark to be arrested in Texas, and he
brought him here for trial. On the pre-
liminary examination of the charge
against him, no evidence whatever was
adduced, showing that Clark was i'm
plicated in the murder Of White; but,
on the contrary, the witness whose tes-
timony on the preliminary examination
of Barton, caused Clark to be arrested,
fatty contradicted his previous testi-
mony when he testified in Clark's case.
Clark was therefore set at liberty, as
there was not an iota of evidence to
Justify his detention in Jail. Now we
hear that some persons in the neigh
borhood where the crime was committed
have held meeting and denounced
the principal judicial officers OF the
parish, in formal set OF resolutions,
and requested the Governor to remove
them, and appoint proper ones i'll their
stead. We would like to have a copy
of these resolutions for publication.

TINS Ts the kind ola man the boy
preacher is: The Rev. Thomas Har
rison, the boy preacher, who by this
time has become large aud old. boy,
is in trouble with the Loveland camp
meeting. Admiring his eloquence and
possibly also considering that il might
be a good speculation to announce
him as an annual attraction Of the
camp, the ladies built a cottage for
him at cost ofs500. What was their
surprise to learn that, only day or
two later, the mercenary evangelist
had sold this cottage and site for 5000.
IL was evidently, on his part, not so
much love.land as a love-money ar.
rangement. After thinking over their
predicament the defrauded ladies dis
covered that no deed of the cottage
had been furnished to the tickle boy
preacher. They accordingly resolved
to take back their gift. and sold it to a
steady Cincinnati Methodist Bishop.

and his money by his little game, and,
