that, to distribute the water evenly over the

of escape. and if regular curve, instead of

ANOTHER MATT WARD.-The Nashville
. Tenn. Wing gives the following particulars of
a most horrible tragical affair that occurred at
Pontiac, Miss, on the ] lth inst thG
1t appears that Mr.. Brown. the principal Of
the Male Academy, at Pontiac, had punished
one of his pupils about week since. A BROTH
er Of the boy that was whipped by the name
of Wray, made threats against Mr. Brown for
the aforesaid punishment to which but little at
tention was paid. On Monday, young Wray
a youth some II or l6 years OF age, inok a po-
siiion where Mr. Brown would pass on his
way home from school, and waited until he
came along, when Wray attacked him.
The two clenched, Brown acting only in
self-defence, and those who saw it, thought it
only TO be scuffle between them, until they
saw b. run few yards, put his hands upon
his abdomen, and fall down lifeless. While
they were clenched, Wray had inflicted two
wounds upon Brown with large. bowie knife
which killed him almost instantly. The young
man was arrested at once. Mr.. Brown was a
man much respected, and leaves Young wild
Ow, 10 whom he has been married but few
months, to mourn his early and untiinely end.
