Fatal Tragedy.

1t becomes our painful duty to record the sud
den and violent death of Mr.. ELISHA ". HARRIS,
formerly citizen of this place, but at the time OF
cumstances connected with the melancholy death
of this unfortunate gentleman extract from the
Greensboro Beacon:
"a most heartrending tragedy was enacted in
our village on yesterday. The parties engaged In
it, were Mr. f. w. Harris, Dr. Plat Groom and
Mr.. Pleasant Nav. Mr.. Harris was killed; DR..
Groom was shot, we learn, in both arms and one
shouder-his wounds, however, not consider
ed dangerous; Mr.. May was also badly, though
not dangerously wounded. Some six or eight PTS
to shots were fred and the wonder is that all three
of the parties were not killed. The lighting com
menced near the Post-o office door, and was continu
ed across the street to the old Mansion House,
where Mr. Harris received Bowie-knife wound
inflicted we understand, by DR.. Groom, which
caused his death almost nstantaneously.
1--WE are not sufficiently advised Of the particu-
lars of this most heartrending affair to attempt
recital of them though we understand it had its
origin in disagreement, between Mr. Harris and
DR.. Groom, in regard to fence boundary.
1.-THE parties, we would remark, are among the
most respectable of our citizens. Mr. Harris had
lived in this neighborhood some two years, and il
our village since the 1st of January. Dr. Groom
and Mr.. May raised in our village

The domain came to the United States encum-
bered with a right of possession by Indian tribes,
which is gradually extnguished by purchase, NJ
the necessities Of advancing population require.
At the establishment of the Federal Govern
ment the United States suffered from exhaustion
by war, and labored under the pressure of great
national debt while they were obliged to make
large expenditures for new institutions, and to
prepare for defence by land and by sea, They
therefore adopted policy which treated the do
main merely as fund or source of revenue.
They divided it into townships, sections and quar-
ter-sections, and offered it at public sale at mini
mum price of two dollars per acre on credit, and
subsequently at private sale on the same terms.
In $50 they abolished the credit system, and re-
duced the price to one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre. In 1888 they recognised right
of presumption in favor Of actual occupants, and
the system as thus modified still remains in form
upon our statute-book. The United States how
ever, have, at different times made very different
dispositions of portions Of the domain. Thus
there have been appropriated to the new States
and Territories, for purposes Of internal i'm
provement for saline reservations, for the estab-
lishment of seats Of Government and public build
ings and for institutions of education, as follows
