owner alone, but upon the city, as the citv

honest work may be secured. On Walnut

On "Wednesday next Rev. Mr. Clay, of the A. M. E. church, will

go to New Albany to attend con

ference. It is the wish of his congregation, and of tho citizens generally, we believe, that Mr. Clay should bo returned to his charge in this place. He is a capable, earn

est worker one who has done more

for the upbuilding of the church than any man who has ever been assigned to this field. The Princeton Clarion thus briefly recounts the manner in which they dispose of "unrly" convicts in that good Democratic State institution, the Southern Penitentiary : "John Woodsmall, sent to the

penitentiary from Daviess county for killing Bratton two years and

a half ago, is dead. Being unruly

be was put at work, for punish

ment, between two furnaces, whereJ

he became overheated and fainted,

when a bucket of cold water was

dashed on him and be died in a few minutes."

How much more merciful would

it have been bad they taken the man out and shot him iull.of bullets instead ot roasting him "between two furnaces."
