Tlinr names are Benjamin Shelby, Arthur Shelby, Ball Woods and William Smiih. They were all eenteuced for the murder of Benjamin McKeever. Their cage, taken in all its details, is one of the most interesting in the annals of criminal trials. The evidence against them, though conclusive, was entirely circum stautial. McKeever was shot from his horse at night uear the residence of the Slielbvs, his ihroat then cut, and his body carried on horseback three miles and thrown into a cave. A large rock was placed on the bloody spot where his throat chamber :the crows like any artcreatiori. posed must have taken place to warraut the result of patience, of hope and of a this change, the tender parent imroediate- inousana aeucaie loucuing anu remucu- i icjjicu, uci vunu o -ii" , incs.

"Dear me, if you had only applied yester day," and all the other old, musty speech-J es which have been stereotyped from time immemorial, ready for use by those who gladly avail themselves of any excuse rather than put themselves to anyj incon venience to do a favor for those who they say are their friends. How many such people there are in the world aud who wants to dance attendance upon them forever ? We recently knew a man who had al- ways b en ready to do- favors ior ins kind'.ed, brought into rather a tight pecu niary fix ; arid though he had many weal thy relatives, who, without any trouble, might have assisted, yet there was not one of them that was willing to do the least thing for him. The better way is not to try even the nearest relative, we have ou eatth, by asking favors of them.

To bo brief, he is now able to move arouud the house, and everybody in the neighborhood, as well as the physi cian, gives the cider and pickles the credit of performing the cure.

So long as the white m.u cheats the Indian with bad whiskey there never will be an end of these out-breaks. If the Indian is a thief it ia the white who has driven him to it by depriving him of that liberty in hunting and shoal ing where he will which is a necessary to bis habits as the air be breathe..
