Unfortunate Occurrence.

We have the particulars of a most un.
fortunate occurrence at Troy Grove, in
this county, on Friday morning last. Mr.
Timothy Thompson, respectable cili-
zen, had for several weeks previous been
slightly deranged, and had nresentimen,
that an attack was TO be made on his fam.
ny. 10 defend himself in this event, he
every night on going TO bed placed an axe
and razor by his side. On Thursday
evening he was more deranged than usu.
al and The family took the precauiion 10
remove the axe, and the razor he had for.
tunately placed by mistake between the
feather and straw beds. During the night,
imagining the enemy had come, he rose
and not finding the axe or razor, he pso.
cured fat iron, and dealt his wife and
child each such blow that both were
stunned. BY this time brother, who
was sleeping in the same room, awoke,
and guessing what was going on, sprang
and seized him. A fierce struggle ensued
which lasted over an hour, during which
the brother received blow on the side
Of the head with The IA, iron tina, stunned
him SO that for minute he was nearly
helpless. Finally The man was subdued,
and some children were sent 10 neigh

except VIVA, was the result OF his own al.
most superhuman exeriion TO overcome

The wife and child, we are happy to
learn have fully recovered. A coronev's
inquest was held and verde, returned
in accordance with the above facts.

.3aCcd0ie about Bank.-In New
York, many years ago, during a suspen.
sion of specie payments, John Randolph
of Roanoke, went there on business.
Having a check on the Merchants Bank,
for large sum, he called for the cash,
and would take nothing but specie, which
tie ,cIlers obsinately refused to pay.
Randolph disdained 10 handy words with
either clerks or principals believing him
self swndleG he withdrew and had a hand
bill printed and circulated all over the city,
which set forth that John Randolph Of
Roanonc, being on visit to New York,
would address his fellow citizens that evc-
ming on the banking system, from The
steps Of The Merchants Rmk.' Long
before the hour, crowd began to gather
which increased to a fearful number,
when the officers Of the bank taking the
alarm, sen, Randolph his money in gold;
who received i, with a sardonic smile and
the apt quotation 'Chaiacidm inrenh
dureum reliquit.' He left New York
next morning in a stage before day and
his being unknown in that city, the hand
bill passed or for hoax on The public.

Of production depends upon our own industry,
