rather singular case has recently been decided
in Indiana, by which it is declared that marriage
in that State requires no formaties to make it le-
gal, except the mere agreement of the parties that
it is civil contract only and differs from other civil
contracts merely in this-that it cannot be dissolved
even by mutual consent. 1t is provided in section
seven of the revised statutes of Indiana that, no
marriage shall be void voidabe, for want of IL
cense other formalites required by law, if either
of the parties thereto believe it to be legal mar
rage at the time 1t is further provided that the
agreement must be recorded, but the failure or ne
glect to do this is only punishable by fine.

that Thomas Allsop, the person who was ringleader

Mr.. AllsOp had been in the city several days, and

two verdcts have been rendered against the Central

night passenger train from Macon to Savannah run

which had occurred several hours before the disas-

gross negligence in the construction of this part of
the road and culvert and, secondly, gross negli-
gence in the employees overseer of the road in not
making an examination of the road after the rain
had fallen, and hosting signal to warn the de-
scending train. Notwithstanding the decided
charge of Judge Holt on the subject of the damages

Some medical students at Pittstown, N. Y, who
had obtained the body of State Prison convict for
dissection, created an excitement by hiding it in
farmers barns, to frighten such of them as were
perstitious, nearly out of their wits, and starte
those who were not, with the supposition that
murder had been committed on their premises. As
soon the body had been discovered in one barn,
they removed it to another. number of Irishmen
at Eagle Bridge, thinking from the description of
the body, that it that of the murdered Barney
McIntvre, marched down to Pittstown in a body,
breathing vengeance against those who had 'resur-
reetedY him. They were, with great difficulty,
convinced of their mistake. The body has since
been dissected. e. H.

ASSASSINATION IN MACON CoUNTY.-We learn from
the Tuskegee Republican, that on Sunday night the
l4th instant, Mr.. Jethro Walker, while sitting in
portico in front of his house, received a wound
from gun in the hands of some unknown person,
from which he died instantly. The gun was loaded
with small shot, all of which entered his face
Only one, however, penetrated the skull. We are
sorry to say that his is suspected of hav-
ing committed thefendish act, but we hope that
subsequent disclosures may prove his innocence
He is cracked brain sort of fellow, and if guilty
doubtless committed the deed in fit of insanity.
An inquest was held over his corpse, and the jury
rendered verdict in accordance with the above
facts. Mr. Walker is well known and respected
citizen of Macon county, and his untimely death
will be regretted by many sincere friends.

CULTIVATION OF TOBACCO IN SOUTHWESTERN VRGI-
NTA.-1he Jeffersonville (Tazewel county, Adro-
cate after urging upon the farmers of that county
the feasibility of Tobacco growing in that section,
makes the suboned allusion to the success attend
ing its cultivation in the counties adjacent to Taze
well:
''The counties of Monroe and Mercer have lately
been aroused by the discovery that this source of
CONNIE ce is theirs by nature, and thus the thin
lands of their mountain sides are valuable beyond
their most sangulne expectations. Only narrow
belt OF the southeastern portion of the county of
Monroe has been subjected to the experiment dur
ing the last year, and the fact is now announced
that the result has proved a demonstration of the
superiority of that section of the West, as more
highly gifted in this respect than the Valley of Vir-
gnia.
1t is calculated that ll5,OO0 pounds were last
year raised in Monroe and the present year there
will be produced not less than or 6OO 600 pounds
and yet not half the people are awake to the i'm
portance of this agricultural revolution. This to-
bacco has averaged some twelve or fifteen dollars
nett per hundred-bringing into the county from
outside markets revenue of several thousand dol
lars from very few acres of ground. Already
have three factories been erected in the county, and
we are told at the one belonging to Mr.. A. McNear
at Centreville, that cigars equal to any that are
imported are manufactured by him, and that finer
article of chewing tobacco has never been seen any,
where than is put up by the proprietor of that es-
tabishment.
awe are confident that many of the farms in the
county Of Tazewell similarly adapted to its cul-
ture. The lands Blue Stone and in the Rich
lands especially, must enjoy superior natural advan-
tages for the growth of this article to any lands in
the counties of Monroe and Mercer. We hastily
throw out the hint and hope some of our energetic
farmers will speedily act upon it.
