FEMALE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
BOOnvilIe, Mo.

TRAGIC OCCURRENCE.

The usual quiet and tranquility of
our city was interrupted on Saturday
evening last, by melancholy and ,rag
ic occurrence; the circumstances Of
which, as near as we can learn, were
abou, as follows: about twilight,
young man, "a stranger and name I'M
KNOWN came 10 the Glasgow House
with jug Of whiskey in his hand, and
very drunk, and by his conduct very
much annoyed the boarders and guests
of the house; Mr.. Chiles, its proprietor,
endeavored for some time peaceably TO
induce the man TO 60 off, but without
success, and finally Mr.. C.. struck him
one or two blows with a chair which
caused him TO retreat TO the middle Of
the street, offering some excuse for his
conduct. Mr.. c., supposing he would
give him no further trouble took seat
in front of his door, when the man drew
large knife, rushed upon Mr.. Chiles,
and before any person could interfere,
inflicted fatal wound, in the left 81 de
ranging upward to the heart, from the
effects Mr. Chiles died about 6 o'clock,
or Sunday morning.
The remains of the deceased was fol
lowed to the city burying ground, al
8 O'Clock, on Sunday evening, by the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
and large number of the citizens, and
was inferred according to the rites and
ceremonies ofthat order. The deceas.
ed leaves wife aud six children and
a numerous circle of friends and rela.
tons TO mourn his loss.
TIE assassin after perpc,ra,ing the
horrible act, rushed down the river
bank, threw himself into the water,
and was drowned. No search was
made for the drowned man until Sun.
day morning, and then without success.
Greater research was again had on
Monday, which resulted in an entire
failure 10 obtain the body.

A TREATY DEFEATED BY WIND
MILLs.--In a memoir of himself, writ.
ten by Mr.. Jefferson in 1921, he gives
the following account of the fate of a
treaty with Portugal, which he and Mr..
Adams had made in London, in the
year 1856:
awhile in London, we inferred into
negotiations with the Chevaler Pinto,
Ambassador of Portugal at that palce.
The only article of difficulty between
US was, stipulation that our bread,
stuff should be received in Portugal, in
the form of flour as well as grain. He
approved of il himself, bu; observed
that several mobiles, of great influence
at their court, were the owners of
wind.mills in the neighborhood of Lis.
bon, which depended much for their
profits on manufacturing our wheat,
and that this stipulation would endan.
ger the whole treaty, We signed il,
however, and it's fate was what he had
candidly portended."
