Abolitionist shot.

--On Saturday week, at Taylor's Creek, St Francis county, Ark, a New England school teacher, who had married and settled in the neighborhood, was shot by his neighbors and killed on the spot, a considerable number of balls entering hi body. He had been engaged in some abolition proceedings, and when approached by his neighbors he fired upon them twice, wounding one of them in the leg. His own fate was speedily decided.
