Ami isQojite Likely to be Hanged Again, and this Time Ef fectually. A giay biirtd anil decrepit prison | er arrived here from the West Thurs day night in charge of deteetiveß. A. Kincade, of Olupy and J. Stone, ex- of Putnam county, Indiana. The old man was lodged in our city jail, and last evening he resumed his journey Perryville, Boyle county, Kentucky,where he is want ed for having murdered an old and helpless lady in cold blood on the night of the 12th day of April, twelve year* ago. In 1 BCG John Taylor liverl near Danville, Ky., and enjoyed the luxuri es of good health, little care, . fair means of living, and a large family. His son, Wiilinm Taylor was indicted by the grand jury of Boyle county lor robbing a country dwelling and steal ing some goods One of the princi pal witnesses in his case was Mrs. Mary Bolton, a widow, who lived in a farm house, with no other compan ion than a little granddaughter. On the morning of the 13th of April, that year, the old lady was found dead ip her bed, with a bullet hole in her head and the bedclothes drenched with blood. At first the fioiror seem ed likely to remain a mystery, till the j little granddaughter, whom fright for a long time rendered mute, said that she awoke about twelve o’clock the night before, and saw two moD in the room whom site readily recognized as John Taylor and his son William. She knew their pres ence meant mischief, and she quiet ly covered herself up with the bed clothes. She heard the rifleshot that killed her grandmother, but was par alyzed, and so gave no sign. The men did not discover her. At once the fathor and son were placed under arrest. The prisoners were forcibly *.aken from the officers, carried to the woods, and hung to a iree. The crow.i remained only long enough to complete their work, as they supposed. By some agency— possibly through a defect in the rope —the old mau waa allowed to fall to the ground shortly altar the mob left, and there he lay for several hours He tinally recovered the use of his limbs, but not of his mind, and went a wandeiing. He was recaptured and escaped. He made for Illinois and found safety in the swamps of Egypt for nearly a year. Thence li3 went to Cocper county, Mo., thence to Kansas, thence back to southwest Missouti, thence to Burbane county. Kas., thones to Yernon county Mo., where lie made his final settlement, near the town ot Nevada, Vernon county. At each of the a Dove places he spont ayearortwo, leading the wretched life of a squat ter; but at the last place he mot with some success in tilling a patch of ground. There ho was detected. He has a dutighter living in Kentucky, and five sons-in-law, some of whom Jive in Missouri. Death of John Morrissey. Mr. Tilden lost his strongest sup porter when Morrissey died. The country has lost nettling, for his gambling establishment has seduced and ruined more tneu than any insti tution in the land. His cateer has been a wonderful one, peculiarly American. Born in Ireland, he early came to New York. A rough and bruiser, bar-keepar, prize-fighter ward politician, Congressman for one term, influential in Governor and President making, noted pool soller, then State Senalor, violating openly the very laws he helped to make.— Such is his history. He had some fine traits of character, and aided in passing some good laws- His whole life has Leon that of a gambler—now in a small, then in a princely fashion. The world has not been benefited in the least by his living; yet as the anti-Tammany candidate he beat Augustus Schell for the State Senate 8,000 votes in the wealthiest district in New York city. Ho died childless, his only son havi. g breathed his last a year or two ago.

MAY 23 1878. The First Dollar Greenback. A few weeks ago this paper pub lished a notice that Mr. R T. Leav erton, of Holden, Mo., had in his pos ! session the first dol'ur greenback is sued by the Government. That notice was published far and wide in the newspapers. Mr. Geoige Gioss, of Kansas City, read it and urged the owner to set a price. He said $25, and had the money shoved quickly into his hands. In a few flays Mr. Gross was offered $65 for his pur chase, but declined to sell. In lour days after making the sale Mr. Lev ertou received an offer of SIOO for the bill from St. Louis parties, which he tendered to Mr. Gross, who declined to sell. Mr. Hat,hey, a boss biidge builder, offeted $l5O iugold’foi a bait ioteiest in the bill (which was now considered to fie a groat bonauza), hut | this offer was also refused. A whole sale liquor firm concluded that it would be a good thing and a cheap advertisement at SSOO, and made this offer, but with the same lack of sue- ! cess. Bidding upon the oldest dollar greenbeck then became general, and reached S7OO. but still Mr. Gross re- ; tamed the proprietorship. The most interesting and last-heard of offer was from Brick Potneroy. He wauted to boirow the bill to display at hustings during a canvass for the National Greenback party He was promptly informed that if he would execute a bond in the sum of SI,OOO, with two good secutities for the safe return of the bill, he could have the use of it for a short campaign.— Hen ry Ccunty {Mo ) Democrat. The Middle Georgia Argus gives the foliowing account of a Cowardly attempt at murder in its neighborhood, in which a little baby in its mother’s arms received an almost fatal wound. It says: ‘R G. Byars, Jr., lives a mile and a hall from town. At daik of the 2d inst his wife w -ut to the milking leaving in her room nor little babe, who is just fourteen months old, VV bile Mrs. Byars was attending to her du'ies at the ‘cow per’the child commenced fretting, wheienpon its father, who had been about theyaid,to pacify it took it up to carry it to the mot ti er, not dreaming of the sad calamity that awa'ted his little cherub. Ar riving at the side of its mother the child hushed. But Mr. Byars de scried a person behind a tree hard by and accosted him, saying: hat are you doing behind that tree T which was no sooner said titan he was fired upon by the suspicious looking indi vidual, and the innocent little babe, instead of its father, fell the victim of the wou'd-be assassiu’s bullet! The frionziod mother seized hot infant aud bore it into the heuse, where she and her husband did all ihoy could for it until medical aid was had. An in vestigation revealed that the ball had entered and passed thrbi’gh the little one’s left arm, just below the arm-pit, and then entering the body came out in the region ot the spiue and lodged in its clothing. The wound was promptly dressed, anil nothing left undone to alleviate the child’s suffer ings, In the opinion of Dr. Saunders, the attending physician, the wouud will not prove tatal.” A man named Robert Smith was arr- sled on suspic ion, who, at the timo of his arrest, was in a beastly state of intoxication. He succeeded iu making his escape, however, and has not been heard of since. A corpse started the watchers at the Home of the Little Sisters of tl,o Poor, ir. Richmond, Va-, one night last week. An inmate, Mrs. Hilliz, had died, and the corpse had been laid'out in the'parlor of the institution. At midnight, as the Sisters were watching the bier, the sunken eyes appeared to flash, tho blood came back to the faded cheek, and, as though imbued with superhuman en ergy, the dead body arose from its resting place, which was ajdrapadjblcck pft’.l. The watchers stared at one an other overwhelmed with horror and awe. Tho risen corpse quietly shook herself and remarked: “I am not dead yet, but I shall die soon. 5 ’ The Sisters, after recovering from their consternation, undressed the lady and put her to bed. She became conscious, and, after lingering until Wednesday, died again. A Monster Boar Killed in Pierce County. Blacksitkau j Ga., May 13. —Editor Morning News: On lasl Saturday after noon, about six miles from here, in what i* known as “Cross Swamp” was killed the largest bear ever seen or heard of iu these pnrts, measuring in length eight feet and weighing three bundled and twenty-five pounds uat.

Sum marry because they have been highsted sum whar “lse; tliisiz across match, a bay and sorrel, pride makes it endurable. Sum marry for love without a cent in their pocket nor a friend in the world nor a drop of pedigree. This looks desp rate, but it iz the s.rength of the game Sura marry bekauze they think wimmin willbe scarce next spring and live to wonder how the crop holds out. Sum marry to get rid of themselves and discover that the game was one that two could play at nd neither win. Sum marry the second time to got even and find it a gambling game, the more they put down the less they iako nr. Sum marry to be happy, and not finding it, wonder where all the hap piness gees to when it dies. Sum marry they can’t tell wbv and live they can’t tell how. Almost everybody gets married, and it is a good joke. Sum marry in Laste, and then sit down and'think it carefully over. Sum think it careluliy first and then set down and marry. Both ways are right, if they hit the mark. Sum marry rakrg to convert them- This is a tittleriskey, andtakes a smart missionary to do it. Sum marry coquetts. This is like buying a poor man, heavily moit gaged, and working the balance ov ynre dayes to clear opri tho mort gages Bat after all marriod life iz full as certain as as the dry good bizzines No man kan swear exactly wliar he will fetch up when he tuchc-s caliico. Kno man kan tell jist w’hat- calico ha* made up her mied tew do next. Calico don’t know even herself- Dry goods ov all kinds iz tho child ov circumstances. The man who stands on the bank shivering, and dassent, is more apt to ketch cold than him who pitches biz hod iust into the river. If enny body asks you wlii you got married (if it need be), tell them you don’t recoil!; t. Marriage is a safe way tew gam ble—if yu win, yu win a pile, and if yu lose, yu don’t lozoanny thing but the privilege of living dismally alone and soaking yureown feet. An Ohio Radical stumper, while making a speech, paused in the midst of it and exclaimed; “Now gentlemen, what do you think I” Instantly a man rose in the assembly, and with one 6ye paitially close', modestly, with u strong Scotch brogue, replied: “I think, sir.—l do indeed, sir—l think if you and I were to stump the conn-1 try together we couM tel! more lies than any other two men in the coun. try, sir, and I’d not say a word myself during the whole time, sir!” It is said one man can take a horse to water, but one hundred cannot make him drnk. Men are different from boises ; one man can take a . hundred up to the bar and make I them diiuk as often is he likes. THE LOAD ON 11IS MIND.

An Onondaga Indian Killed is.ik Robbing a Fabmeh’s Wife. —A mur derous affray occured twelve miles south of Syracuse, N. Y , iu the town of Lafayette. About nmo o’clock Friday morning two vagabond Indi ans belonging to ttie Onondaga tiibe, went to the farm house of \\ illiam Curtin and ~sked for some liing to eat. Mrs. Curtin was alouo in ‘.he house and at once acceded to their demands and gave them breakfast.— After they hail finished eating, one of the Indians,j named Henry Jones, handed Mrs. Curtin a few cents for the meal. As she was putting the money in her purse Jones seized her and threw her on the floor, robbed her of w'hat rnouey she had, and then made his -escape out of the house Mrs. Curtin called to the hired man, Cornelius Gurney, who soon arrived. Guiuey took off his shoce and stock ings, and seizing an axe, gave chase. He approached Jones about'forty rods from the bouse, and, stealing up behind him, dealt him a murderous bljw on the right side of the head with the head of the axe. The thief was picked up dead. Gurney was at once arrested, and lodged in the Peni tential)'. A Cat 'in Love —Mr. Frederic H.

Another one serves with the stirrups by metalic bars.— The bai'oon is twenty-five feet in length and twelve feet '.n diameter.— The iaveuter says: “The princ : ple on which I established rny idea was that of the flying of birds. I held that if birds could supply the impetus of flying anil change their course in vention could do the same for man. This cilimier I have arranged shall carry about ninety-eight per cent, of the total weight.

At this moment Mr. M.’s dog bravely attected the woifand was nt onceset upon by the by the whole pack and killed and al most' entirely devoured. This gave Ml Miner tn opportunity to whip up his borsrs and make off which he did at full gallop, calling out loudly for help. His cries attracted the attention of Mr. Jocelyn and family who cauio to ;ho rescue, and the wolves were driven off. But for the fortunate in 'erforence of the dog the result might have been much more setioua.
