SAD AFFAIR.-An alteration took place last
Friday morning, Swannanoa some ten miles
east of this place. between Col. Samuel W.
Davidson and Mr. D. Y. Slope, both highly re-
Col. Davidson. He lived only few seconds after
receiving kick upon the neck. Mr. Shopc came
to town, and surrendered himself to the authori-
ties. The Grand jury, in session at the time, in
vcstigatcd the facts, and refused to find bill
against Mr. Shore, and he was discharged.
The unfortunate affair cast deep gloom over
the whole community. Col Davidson one of
oldest and best citizens, widely known, and
greatly esteemed. MIR Shore is also clever man
and good citizen, and We doubt not regrets the
unfortunate event more than any one else.--4she-

come in the house. He replied he would not come
in-that he could settle his business with her
where he was. He then deliberately raised his
rifle and shot her, the ball entering her left breast
and passed out just below the right shoulder. The
unfortunate woman fell and expired No reason
