THE LOWREY GANG-Tho impression
grows strouger that Henry B?rry Low?
rey, leader of the Robeson outlaws, has
disappeared from his Souiilatowu haunts.
We have continuation of the report that
his brother has recently boen seen carry?
ing tho favorite rifio of the leader. Our
most recent informant ia of tho opinion
that, instead of being dead, Henry Berry
has loft tho country in disguise. It is
contended that thero ia no positive evi?
dence of his having been seen since the
Wednesday succeodiug tho lute rubbery
at Lumborton, when tho safes and that
largo amount of money wore stolon,
Henry Berry Lowrey, in all probability,
availed himself of the possession of
tho80 funds to fly tho country; for thero
is now scarcely a doubt that tho plunder
did fall into the bauds of tho Lowrey
gang, as a quantity of tho goods stolon
on that raul havo boen recently disco?
vered at their dwollingj. Stephen Low?
rey-tho most desperately brutal of tho
whole gang-now seems to head tho out?
laws. If Boss Stroug bo roally dead,
and Henry Burry Lowrey dopartod the
country, tho gang is now reduced to
three-Stephen Lowrey, Tom Lowrey
and Andrew Stroug. There seems also
to have boen internal dissensions among
them lately-the old story of quarrel
over spoils; and they are beyond doubt
badly demoralized. A vigorous effort
towards their capturo or extermination is
now almost certain of success.

Two S: runs' DEVOTION TO A BROTHER
FLV IT-FOUR YEAHS IN CLOSE CON FI NU -
MENT.-A very remarkivblo instance of
eiaterly dovotion baa transpired ia Ooo
cord, Lewis County, Kentucky, wbich
we propose to relate, and ask if the fact?
and example have their parallel in the
past or present generation.
Judge Jameb Dozier migrated to Ken?
tucky at an early day, when thi9 seotion
was a wilderness. He reared a family of
daughters, and his youngest ohild was a
boy. As usual, the pet was gifted with
promising traits, that made the brother
near and dear to his home circle
lu 1818 Bioggold Dozier, when but
ufteeu years old, attended a religious re?
vival. The religious excitement so uf
feoted his mind ns to unlit him for labtr
at murnini pursuits, and the cure of thia
youth devolved lipon his eldest sisters,
who have assumed tho directiou of his
affairs, and huvo kept un untiring and
unceasing watch over this unfortunate
brother for sixty-nine years.
For fifty-four years,. Ringgold Do- j
zier'u life and abode have been volun?
tary elope confinement within tho pre
oinots of the ho iso and home of his aged
sisters, secluding himself in a small
j room on the ground floor, with a walk
of twenty-five feet fur daily exercise,
the whole pluuked up. Within this
solitary space of his choice, he lives, to
all appearanoos, happy and contented,
nusoeu except by his two surviving sis?
ters, who now administer to his daily
wants with a true uisterly love and devo?
tion. One ia always present nt his call,
and both are eager to favor his simplest
wants. Time'und age seem to knit
closer thu fond attachment of th?se
worthy sisters to the care of thia de?
mented brother, uud they will not en?
.trList the valued ohargo beyond.their
own personal administration. Even the
charitable offers of ?State benefioeuce are
indignantly 'rejected.
These sisters are not dependent, nor
do they solicit aid. It seems to be a
pride, and, indeed, a pleasure, to study
the interest and comfort ol the lone [
brother, and more to encourage him in
bis religions and devotional exercises,
they join together iu chanting his Me?
thodist songa and lessons that he learn?
ed up to tho day roasou departed, and
religious enthusiasm took possession of
his tender mind. Ho knows aud talks
understandingly of all events up to
1818, and will recognize his old asso?
ciates yet living, at tho first glance.
Two of his sisters that lived and died
devoting their whole lives to the benefit
ami interest of their invalid brother, he
uow culls ns il living, and is promptly
answered by tho ?urviviug devotees to
hie wanta.
So quiet and secluded do this peaceful
family live, that neighbors know nothing
of this hermit's existence. Two genera?
tions have passed since this man has
lived iu exile from the world. Hero, in
the midst of a donso moving population,
steamboats, railroads and telegraphs
have boen invented and established in
sight of ?thin man's abode, yet he knows
it not. His idea of transfer is associated
with tho primitive custom of 1818- rid?
ing on horseback. His thoughts are
centred on his Bible, which is read and
re-read until ita pages aro so worn as to
be unintelligible to all eyes but his own,
that are black and piercing when he1
raises them from his Bible to give a
stranger an unwelcome stare. Hia locks 1
are whito with age, and bis flowing
board reminds one of tho old patriarchs.
He doubtless owes his good health to
his sisters' caro and anxious watchful?
ness, whiob Ima extended through an
uninterrupted period of moro than half
a century, verifying the truth that "facts
are stranger than fiction."
Those sisters entertain thu fond hopo
that Biuggold Dozier's ardently religious !
zeal will bo rewarded by ultimate resto?
ration, and their brother, through God's]
Providence, will yet go fortn and teach
peace on earth and good will among meu.
The communion which this hermit
professes to hold with those who have
gone before, strengthens tho Bisters'
abiding faith that their pious brother
lives iu a religious tranoe. Bu that as it
may, the earnest religious dev tiou and
ardent attachment to him is thu only
link thut holds those good old sinters to
earth.-Cincinnati Times.
FIRE.-A small log houso on tho pre?
mises of Nelson Davis, colored, occupied
by George Austin, also colored, took lire]
about 9 o'clock, ou Tuesday morning
last, and was eutiroly consumed, with

sisted,' and succeeded iu suving Davis'
residence, which, being in close proxi?
mity, was nt one limo in great danger.
A subscription wa? raised ou tho spot,
und a considerable sum of money ob?
tained by the whites, to assist iu paying
the loss-a singlo citizen heading tho
list with 810. This might bo called
genuino sympathy.-Laurcnsville Herald.
A IIAIU: CENTENARIAN.-On Saturday
last, tho veneradlo General J. Watts de
Poynter, of Now York, gave tho annual
breakfast to thu indestructible veteran,
Captain Lahrbiis?i, on tho 107th anni?
versary of their concurrent birth-day.
This is the sixth of the (series begun
when onch had attained tho ago of lill.
Tho dozen guests were, with few excep?
tions, generals of high distinction, yet
ono of tho oldest of those wus a baby
when Cuptaiu L.ihrbiish was a sexagena?
rian, aud not oue hud entered the service
when ho had retired under the burdon ol
his seventy years. The guests all took
their leave, says thu Tribune, pledging
the gay and hearty old gen th-m ?ni to be
present a year hence, and especially in?
sisting that ho should keep his health
and strength to take part in the centen?
nial anniversary of his youug friend, the
American Union.
A disorderly purs ni in llocbenler

A. T. STEWART'S NEW PALACE.-Stew?
art's marble building on Fifth avenue,
which he has created for a home, is ap?
proaching completion. It is nearly fur?
nished, and will be ready for occupancy
early in the spring. It is, without ques?
tion, the most HU pei b privato residence
in tho country, lt has cost 83,000,000
without the furuittire. Tho most cele?
brated artists huvo been over three years
in frescoing the ceilings. The frescoes
ure unequaled, except by those in the
Prince Albert's bull room, at Bucking?
ham Palace. Tho stylo of the building
hus been adopted, because Stewart iu
teuds to donate it to the city for a gallery
when ho gets through with it. lt is a
sepulchral placo, with its stone floor and
stone stairs, nay, requiring a fire in Bum?
mer and winter to keep it habitable.
Mrs. Stewart's room is un exception.
Tho wood work ou her suite alouu cost
$10,000. Every room has a carpet im?
ported and in ad o to fit it, and tho color
of each roora is different. The doors are
solid rosewood, with silver trimmings;
it cost 8000 to hang each door in the par?
lor. The picture gallery is complete.
Several of the pictures have cost over I
830,000. Tho two most celebrated aro ;
"The Prodigal Sou," und "Tho New
England Thanksgiving Dinner." The
water works aro marvels of elegance und
ingenious contrivance. After tho par?
lors, the two most celebrated rooms in
the house aro "Geueral Grant's room,"
which is fitted up with great elegance,
for Mr. Stowart and tho President uro
great friends; then comes the "servants'
parlor." That is fitted up more gorge?
ously than any gentleman's parlor thut I
have seen in this city, (hi rt ai ns, mir?
rors, imported carpets, elegant chairs
covered with red leather and pictures
adorn the rooms, lingo rouges, and
every conceivable modern convenience
can lie found in tho kitchen. Tho doors
aro barred against visitors generally, and
tho house, when done, is not to bo put
on exhibition.
A DHEAM Vlimmen. - Thc Jamestown
(Tenn.) Journal, in detailing tho death
of a brakeman named Caufield on a rail?
road at Union, says:
Ho was to have been married to a
young lady of that town in about two
months. Ou the 1 Gili ult. when the
truiu passed Jumcetmvu on its way West,
tho young lady saw bira and hud some
conversation with him, and that even?
ing was in unusual light spirits. The
next morning at the breakfast table her
appearance wm so much tho reverse of
tho evening previous that il attracted Ibo
attention of ber mother, who naked her
tho causo of lit r apparent trouble. Tho
young lady thereupon related to her
mother that she had dreauied that her
lover had fallen under tho cars and hail
beon so seriously injured that ho had
died in about two hours. Sho told tho
circumstances us shu hud seen in ber
dream, how ho had fallen und the cur
wheels had terribly crushed and mangled
his left leg and his left arm, and that ho
had lived in great agony lor two hours.
Uer story was generally discredited by
her mother, who endeavored to persuade
her that there was nothing ina dream,
but to no purpose-she could not drive
it from her mind. About noon a bister
of tho young man who had met so terri?
ble a fate, caine, to tho house of the young
lady and said she bad bud news for .her.
She then related the circumstances of
her brother's death, corresponding iu
detail with tho dream as told by the
young lady a few hours beforo.
SEOUKT Ol' MlIilTAKY ScOORHt.-The
victories of the Gurman annies have
boen tho subject of a series of lectures
before tho students nf tho Military
School ut Cassel. The lecturer attributed
tho success of the German annies lo the
efforts exerted by tho commanders lo
secure tho offe nsive, und to constantly
keep thu initiative of military move?
ments in their own hands. In this way,
tho moral force of attack is increased
with every successful action, wlulu thu
consciousness of being on the defendive
depresses tho other army. #
Tho rojal plate, at Windsor, which is

guests. Some pieces were taken from
the Spanish Armada, some brought from
India, Burmah. China. There are

The country about Kansas City, in
Missouri, would seem to be a good hold
for missionary labor. Not long since
some of the members of Salem Church,
in that viciuity, had a falling out about
some trifling matter, and, coming to
blows, were cited by the deacons to an?
swer for tho impropriety. During the
trial, which took place in the ohurub,
the dispute was renewed, the adversaries
whipped out thoir revolvers, and a free
fight ensued, resulting in the death ol
one of tho parties, and the serious
wounding of one or two others.
