tragedy IN ARKASsAs.-A correspondent OF the
New orleans Piesyune gives the following account
Of ar awful tragedy and murder that occurred 90
the 18th nit, at the town Of Rough and Ready,
Dew county, Ark
at aPpssrs that young man BY the name OF
Gfitith, married the daughter of Mr.. Grier, and
mat ID. Hedgespeth, the family physician, had
attempted TO take improper liberties with Griffith
wife. IL is said that Grffih's Younger brother,
lLomss, one day promised Mr.. GIier, while the
lilter was intoxicated, 10 shoot DR.. Hedsespeth.
Oh the day OF the tragedy, Thomas Griffith, lad
Of only nineteen, came 10 town with a friend of
his, Mr.. I. J. Brown, who lived near Shreveport,
L., and while standing in grocery, aman by the
name OF McPeters, an accomplish of Dr.. H., came
IA, assaulted Brown, and struck him several blows
with stick; Griffith had two pistols, and stepped
cut OF the door, followed by Brown, when Niche
tets struck Brown severe blow across the temple
which caused his death in few hours. As soon
as young Griffith stepped out of the door, Dr.
Htdgespeih, ard his son Leigh, a lad of only sew
enleen, approached him, both having doubIe-bar-
relied shot guns, when DR.. H. said, "You are the
id rascal that threatened my liie." Griffith re-.
piled, "No, never did-don't shoot. Doctor"
But the Doctor fired, and shot him in the night

A TERRIBLE WEAPoN.-A new death-dealips
weapon in the shape OF Rife has Just been
brought out IN New York-that besides its more
still further impracticable. II lie known as Jen-
nings' Fstent Rife; is designed to be an almost
sniisss repeater, and to avoid the great difficulty
of Gaping and printing each load, and also 10 be
uncomnonly free from dirt, added TO which is q
force which has never been equslled. The
Journal Of Commerce says its appearance and
weight do not differ from the common gun--ex.
cept that il has an iron breech with wooden
stock.
BY q simple continuance within this stock, the
breech.pin OF the barrel is opened as the eun IA
cooked. a cartridge Is placed in this opening,
and on pulling the trigger, the pin closes the bar.
rel tight, a strong block of steel falls behind il
and the gun primes itself and is discharged, all al
one molten. II is 80 simple that il can hardly BY
any accident get out Of order. II is capable oI
being loaded at the breech as often as il Is fred
of, and as mpidly a mans hand can move 10
thtow in cartridge. This is at the rate Of "a
shots per minute, for person who has practised
with the gun.

This ball does is no less surprising than eyerythin,
else connected with the gun. At forty rods the
balls were buried more than four inches In the
