A TERRIBLE DEATu-Euarting tie Scclica
Tragedy for Amuscmcat.--GALLiTrN, Tenn,
April PA dreadful accident has Just
occurred at the Law School, about fifteen
miles from this place. The students were
trying (illustratingl the Sickles case in
mock court, when the young man who
took the part of Scllles jerked out a ps-
tol, which ne did not know was loaded,
and shot his most intimate friend. who
was taking the part Of Key, through the
ebert. MIR. Tap took the part Of Sicliles,
and Mr.. Burke the part of Key. 1t is q
very sad thing, but the shot was purely
accidental. 1t was at first thought Mr..
Burke would recover but modification
has taken place. Mr. Tap has suffered so
much in mind that he has two or three
times rieG TO kill himself, but been pre-
vented by his young friends. hope this
lesson will be a warning to the young men
here who think nothing of carrying fire
arms, and of showing them upon all occa-
sions " J. krprfss,

SHOOTING AFFAIR.-A young man named
jackson Yeager, delivered himself up to
the hands Of the authorities on last Mon
day evening, stating as n reason for so
doing that he had shot a Mr.. Reuben
Richards at Julian Furnace on that day.
The statement lacked confirmation until
Tuesday evening, when a constable from
that township made his appearance in
search of Yeager. 1t appears that diff
Guilty has existed between the parties for
some time, and that Richards endeaN ored
to force Yeager to leave the vicinity 10y
following him with horse pistol. Yeager
took refuge in the house Of married
sister, where he obtained loaded rife,
aud while Richards was approaching fired
from a window and shot him in the shoul-
der. We have not learned the particu-
lars in relation to the condition Of the
wounded Democratic HatchmGa.

Momt affairs.


prrarct,r Fius. The Sterling Mills
IN snow-shoc, burnside township, Centre
county, were burnt week before last, to,
,slher with all the surrounding buildings
with the exception of one dwelling house
and considerable quantity Of sawed lum-
bor. The Mills were the largest in this
section of the State, and belonged to
Messrs. Smith, Rhodes & Mott. A store
and a number of dwelling houses, were
.ontirely consumed, and so rapid were the
flames that not even the furniture and
wearing apparel within could be rescued
while several children narrowly escaped
1eotb. The fire originated from one of
ibe dwelling houses occupied by one Of
the employees at the Mills, by stove
ope passing through the roof. The amount
of the loss we did not learn, but it must
,s large neither did we learn whether
there was any insurance upon it.
THE WEATHER for some time back, has
been of the most delightful character for
endowment and the most favorable for the
growth of vegetation that could be de-
sired or imagined and as consequence
everything green mot even the yerdant
specimens of humanity with which we
occasionally meet, is in the most flourish
inc condition possible. The season to all
appearances is three weeks earlier than
the same year ago, and ifno "untimely
frost" nips the plants and blossoms that
nature so generously and profusely nour=
ishes, we may expect a most plentiful
season.
No PApER.-We were compelled to
omit paper last week by circumstances
over which we had no influence. We had
ordered paper which should have reached
US in good time, but which was delayed
two or three days, and when it did come
proved to be entirely different article
from that intended, sent US by mistake
which we could not use at all,
forprinting our paper upon; and although
we had more Oh the way il did not reach
US in time to remedy the mistake.
The AyENGER-We this week publish
the conclusion of this very interesting
story, and trust that all our readers have
been as much pleased with it as we were
when we perused it.
We might also add that we conclude in
this number, all of "ONE-EYED SAUL" that
will appear in our columns, and we sup
pose we ought to apologize to our readers
for again cheating with piece of a story,
but did so on a former occasion, and
do not care about repeating the excuse
We shall not again offend in like manner
unless We change our mind.
CouRT.-Our court last week was a small
affair compared with our former May
courts. The business transacted was only
what could be disposed of without the in
teryention of juries, an abstract Of which
will be found in another part Of this paper.
The next court will be held on the third
Monday in June, and will be jury court.

THE HISTORY or BUTTER.

THE HISTORY or BUTTER.
From the various statements
in history, it may be safely con,
cludcd that the discovery Of but
ter is attributable neither 10 the
Greeks nor Romans, but that the
former were made acquainted
with it by the Scythians, Thra-
clans, and PIry9ianS, and the
latter by the people Of Germany.
II appears, says Bcckman, tilat
when they had learned the art Of
making it, they employed it only
as an ointment i'm their bathcs,
and particularly as "a medicine
1t is never mentioned by GaIcn
and others as food, though they
have spoken Of it as applicable
to other purposes, No notice is
taken Of it by Apicius, nor is
there anything said in that res
poet by the authors who treat ON
agriculture, though they have
uivcn accurate information re-
garding milk, cheese, aud OIL
This may be easily accounted for
by the fact that the ancicnts were
entirely accustomed to the use Of
good oil. I'm like manner, butter
is very little employed at the
present day i'll Italy, Spain, por-
tugaI, and the Southern parts Of
France, but is sold in the apolhc-
cary shops for medicinal purpo-
scs. During The ages Of Pagan
ism, butter appears to have been
very scarce in Norway; mention
is made by historians of n pres
cnt Of butter 50 large That II man
could not carry it, and which
was considered as Il respectable
