HOMICIDE AT WARRENroN, N. c.
An affray occurred at Warrento N. c.,
on Friday night last, in which young
lad named Whitehead shot and killed
John Jennings. The circumstances, as
we learns them, were to the effect that
Jennings, in quarrel with the elder
Whitehead, drew a pistol and snapped it
twice at Whitehead, and was about max
ing third attempt to fire, when the boy,
seeing the danger of his father, seized a
gun and discharged the contents into the
side of Jennings,the wound proving NOR

has not been stated. 1t seems that the
election was fixed for one Monday, but
on the Sunday before, Brigham Young
rose, where an audience of several thous-
and were assembled, and said:
Brethren, tomorrow, you know, is
the day to vote for delegate to Congress,
so the law says. But l don't see why
to-day isn't just as holy, and why we
shouldn't take a vote to-day. Brother
Bernhisel, brethren, has done well enough
in Congress, though nobodys of much
use there, and if it's worth while to send
anybody to Washington, l guess we
might as we'll send him back; if he can't
do us any good, he 'front.' do US any harm.
So all of you that are in favor of send
ing brother Bernhisel back will please
rise.
