Our usually quiet city was thrown into con
siderable excitement ON last Sunday morning
By the report that horrid murder had taken
place near the house Of Mr.. NJ. N. Allison
about two miles south Of town. On inquiry, il
turned out, that negro man belonging to Mr.
A. Z. Griffith, went that morning early, TO .
cabin occupied by free coiored woman, where
. man belonging 10 our townsman, Capt. J. II.
johnson of the Kate kearney, had wife. II
seems there had been an old grudge between the
parties, and Mr.. Grifith's man came .here that
morning TO settle it. Some words passed be-
tween them, when he got off his horse, and pass
ing round him, stabbed the other man with a
large knife, in the abdomen, making large in
cision, cutting several arteries, and the bowels
in EIGHT PLACES .. a.|
The wounded man fingered till Monday morn
ing, when he died. The other was arrested,
and at the present writing is undergoing exam
nation before Justice GoodDander.
We have given the facts in the most authentic
form we could obtain them. As usual in such

WHEAT CRors.-We understand from some
of our farmers, that their crops of Wheat are re.
fine. The Fulton Telegraph says
that until recently the crop in that part of the
State promised TO be the best ever raised, but
has been suddenly blasted by the appearance
Of the wheat fly, which is playing sad havoc
with whole fields. The St. Joseph Gdzel,
says that the wheat crop in that section of the
State is not SO good as usual. Many farmers
have had whole fields TO turn TO cheat. This is
thought to be attributable to the scarcity of snow
and the hard dry freezes, during last winter.
The Hessian fly is doing great damage.
The Ohio papers say the fly is making sad
work with tn wheat fields in that state.

The Rife.

Many persons who very expert in the use
of the rife, know nothing OF the principle on
which it operates, and would be at loss If ask
ed why grooved barrel throws a ball truer than
a smooth bore. The reasons are these:
In the first place, no bullet is or can be cast
perfectly spherical. One side is always heavier
than the other, and the bali, therefore, swerves
from the right line ofprojection. However hard
it may be to prove this, theoretically, practice
demonstra ates it. The same smooth bore immoy-
eably fixed, twice loaded, with the same charge,
of the same powder, and with balls cast in the
same mould, will not plant them both in the
same spot at the same distance.
The rifle barrel is female screw, which gives
the tightly driven ball rotary motion, so that
if the bullet, or rather the slug, swerves with
one twist of the screw, another revolution cor
reefs the error. There are but three motions
in a rifle ball-the straightforward, the spiral,
and the downward, caused by the power of grav-
ity. 4 rife of thirty to the pound drops its
ball about n foot in a hundred yards. Rifles
are sighted therefore to meet this deviation
On leaving the barrel, the ball moves above the
line of sight, continually falling in parsholi-
cal curve, till it intersects it. The point OF in
tersection is called the point blang.
Who invented the rife is net known Its
principle was known to the North American In
dians before the discovery of the continent
Their arrows feathered spirally, and move
precisely in the manner of rife ball.

he was shy and mysterious; but he could talk

them by his genius and versatility. In practice
he was also mysterious. Disdaining Roger
