It bets' the appesttaace of having been terribly beaten, so much J so tbat death proved an angel of .moroy to the frail sufleror, whom, it seems, was an invalid at tho time of her death. The cir cuit court of Lyon county found John Singleton guilty of the murder of Clom ontine Singleton, and beforo tho officers of tho luw could secure his body ho had de serted his home, which should have ap peared rombro and dark to him, and went away to othor parts. Tho Governor of the State of Kontucky offered a reward of $500 for his apprehension and delivery to tho jailer of Lyon county. Notwith standing tho untiring and faithful search mado for Singleton, stimulated by tbo re ward, ho evaded tho mon of law until ho concluded himself entirely safe, when, In an evil hour for him, and a gain to justice, ho returned to Kentucky, and settled near Cairo. F. M. Hildreth und B. F. Cochrah, of Kentucky, during this month, by some strange chanco found cluu to the trail tlmt finally led to his whorenbouts. They trav ersed tho couhtry between Lyon county and Cairo, and ciunoupon himon tho Ken tucky sido opposite this city, pursuing tbo avocation of a farmer; upprohended him, placed him aboard tho steamer Lumsdeu and took him up the river, and on tho 10th Inst, delivered him to A'. J. Rots, Jailer of Lyon county thus earning, by their shrewdness and bravery, a handsome- re ward, and bringing to justice a fiend who boat unto death nn innocent and defente less child, an Invalid, one to whom his heart should have warmed, and upon whom he should have bestowod sympathy and filial caresses.
