Methodical in his habits, he always
goes to bed. at nine o’clock. .At that
hour I have seen hint enter his bed
room night after night with a lighted
candle in his hand. TWight 1 shall
lie in wait for Brotlterton iu the open
window of the Adjoining room, from
which I can see distinctly everything
he does in his bed-room, which is on
a straight line with it. I am a dead
shot, and as soon as he enters this
bed-room I shall lire the air-gun,
which I have considerably improved,
at him, and shoot him through the
heart. In all probability he will drop
dead on the floor without uttering a
scream. But, even if he does cry out
no one will hear him. Then, Bixton,
your part of the task Vfill commence.
As soou as darkness sets in to-night
you will have lo conceal yourself in
the woodshed adjoining Biotherton’s
house. A few minutes before nim
you will approach Brotherton’s bed
loom window close enough to see
what lakes place there. As soon as
I have brought down the old fellow
you must climb into the window,
enter the adjoining room where
Brolherlou's desk stands, break the
desk open aud take from it all the
papers and money it contains. No
one will hear you, lor no one but
Bioihertun lives in the house. Then
come <pi ekly over to me, hand me
the papers, and I will let you have
one of my horses to ride oil’ toward
Florida. Do you understand
well, Bixton ?”
“ Porievtiy, Doctor.”
“ Well, then, here is a dark lantern
and an excellent steel jimmy. Have
you a watch ,

“ Well, you may have this silver
watch, Dixon ; aud here is a S10 bill
to get some refreshments. But be
ware of getting drunk.”
“ I won’t drink anything but
claivt, Dr. Mellville. But tell m.-
one tiling, please—how much money
will l be likely lo find iu old Brother-
ton’s desk
“Oh, at least 82,000, Bixton. I
saw him put nearly that sum into it
this very morning.’’
“All right, Dr. Melville, all right.
1 shall lie on hand to-night.”
ho saying, Walter Bixon, a young
man ot twenty-five, left the ollice ot
Dr. Melvi.le, a middle aged physician,
wiili whom he had the loregoing
startling conver atiou at Mobile, Ala
lama, shortly alter noon, of a very
suit iy June day, in the year 1831.
"When Dr. Melville was alone in his
ofli e he threw himselt into an easy
chair, and was soon absorbed in deep
thought. Every now and then he
uttered a few incoherent sentences.
“ Ah, Jim Brotherlon/’ lie mur

that mortgage on my house to-mor

Then he Sprang to h'sfcet, and took
from a wardrobe an air-gun, whose
lock he examined carefully.
“ From here to Brotherton’s house
is about, twenty-eight yards. Now,
this air gun carries its small iron bolt
twice as far. Let us try ir. There
is a crow 011 yonder church roof. I
will kill it.”
He took aim and fired. The crow
fell dead.
“Ha! ha! ha!” he laughed al
most aloud. ** It will be bad for yon,
.Tim Broth’Orion.”
Evening came round, and, as Dr.
Melville had predicted, a thinute or
two after nine o’clock, James Brother-
room, broke open the desk, and look
from it a bundle of papers tied to
gether with a red tape, and a large
package of bank bills.”
il By George !” he muttered glee
fully, “ there is at least fon'r thousand
dollars here!’’
lie returned to the bedroom wlieue
Brotherlon was lviug, and threw the
light of the lantern once more upon
the victim’s face. Suddenly he ut
tered a loud cry of terror and drop
ped the dark lantern.
Brothei ton was not dead. He had
opened his eyes very wide, and whis
pered :
“ Ah, is it you, Walter Bixton ?”
The young man tride to escape, but
Brothcrton had grasped his left leg,
and held it in a grip of iron. A hor
rible struggle ensued. . :
In order to free himself from the
old man’s grasp, Bixton stamped him
repeatedly in the face, disfiguring
him horribly. At last he made bis
escape through the open window,
while tins old man cried loudly for
help.
A night constable heard him, and
was soou by the victim's side.
“ I am shot!” gasped Iirolherton.
“ Who did it ?” asked the consta
ble.
“ Walter Bixton,” rejoined the
wounded man, feebly.
A convulsive shudder passed
through his frame, and he expired.
Meanwhile, Bixton, terribly frigh
tened, and run over to Dr. Melvill’s
bouse.
“ Well?” asked the Doctor.
“ You did not kill him—lie recog
nized me 1” gasped the villian.
The Doctor uttered a blasphemous
oath.
“ Some one is now with him,’’ con
tinued liixte.i, pantingly. “Oh, hide
me, hide me!’’
no!’’ cried ilia baffled physi
cian. “ Get out ot my hoitsa this
very moment, or l shall shout for th?
police!”
Bixton implored him not to give
him up, but Dr. Melville, who was
perfectly beside himself with rage,
began lo shout:
“ Watch ! Police 1 Police!”
The constable across the street
heard the shouts, hurried over to the
house of’tiie phy-ieian, and took the
despairing Bixton into custody.
At the station house he immediate
ly made a ele.m breast of the wh le
transaction, whereupon Dr. Melville
was likewise ai rested.
The physician had regained lfs
presence ofiniud, ami denied Bixton’s
charges against him with the utmost
(foolne.-s. But his denials were una
vailing in the face of the damnatory
circumstantial evidence, confirming
Bixton’s statements against him. In
dictments for murdei in the first de
gree were found against them at the
next term of the Circuit Court.
When the trial came oft", an able
defense was made in the behalf of Dr.
Melville, whoso counsel strenously
tried to prove that Bixton had insidi
ously robbed the Doctor, and stolen
the articles found with him with the
intention of saddling the g”ilt on
Melville’s shoulders in ease he should
he detected in his crime.
Notwithstanding the able speeches
oftlie detendants’ lawyers, the two
prisoners were found guilty, and lmng

next year will be the same as during the vc-ul
that has just passed. The daily edition will o
week days he a sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 56 liroad
columns;. while the weekly edition will be a
sheet of eight" pages of the same dimensions
and character that are already familiar to our
friends. —
The SgN win continue to be jlie strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and ol
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, and
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and
fraud in the administration of public affairs, it
will contend for llv* government of tiie people
by the people and for the ]H'oj>!e, as opposed tc
government by frauds ir. the ballot-box and iu
the counting of votes, enforced by military
violence. It will endeavor to supply its reuders
—a body now not far from a million of so Is—
wjtli the urottcareful, complete, und trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ for
this purpose a numerous and carefully selected
stuff of reporters aud correspondents. Its ic-
ports from Washington, especially, will be fu’d,
accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred ol
tjmse who thrive by plundering the Treasury or
bv usurping what the law does not give them
while it will endeavor to merit the -confidence lo
the public by defending the rights of tiie people
against the encroachments of unjustified power
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 eeuts a
