her city Of equal population, in which popular !
xcitement existed to similar extent.
Various puere complaints were made to the
!ayor Of crowding" at particular polls and of
ms being stuck into men who had rendered them
elves prominently obnoxious, and Of supposed at
empts TO take the polls away from the :" Reform
r." To all Of these complaints the Mayor per-
onally responded, and whenever the charges as
umed gravity he went in person to correct the
I1eged wrongs.
It cannot be gainsayed that it was quiet cleo
ion throughout the city, and the result demon
more is an American city with or without per
ectly peaceful election.
HORRIBLE POISONING CAsE.-We have Just heard
the particulars Of most horrible poisoning case |
that ID reported to have TRANSFERRED in Barbour |
county-the parties interested being movers from |
this county TO Florida. II seems that about one |
month ago Floyd Knight, in company with his |

arrived in Barbour, they stopped Gas the story
runs) at branch to get some water and to take
/" something. to drink" Some poisonous drug
Been previously nstilied ii the bottle By his wife,
son and Philips. After drinking, Knight sat down
by tree on the roadside-the other three drove on
And in few moments some one passing by dis
covered knight in dying condition. Assistance
was sendered him, but it was useless. No one knew
the whereabouts Of the deceased, although we
learn full particulars were published in the Eufaula
papers. After it was ascertained that knight was
dead, the guilty three returned to this county, and
are at present in custody, we learn. The absence
Of Knight being accounted for in rather mystic
rious manner, his friends resolved to be on the
watch, and few days ago 1.-THE parties having i'm
plicated themselves) they were arrested, and we
presume will be lodged in the jail of Barbour
county. These particulars we have CLEANED from
a conversation with Mr. Walton Ware, q gentleman

citizen Of this county, and was formerly minister
of the Gospel. OF late years he had been addicted

INCREDIBLE MEAsNEss.-The New York cores
pondent of the Boston Post tells the following
story:
curious story is told Of firm on Broadway,
whose snowy marble structure has just been COM
pleted and filled with goods. The style Of archi-
lecture is of an unique order and very striking
withal. It appears that previous to building a
number Of plans were submitted to the parties
among others, one from poor and unknown
French architect, whose plan was retained for a
time, but finally returned to him. In process Of
time (and Of building) this last named gentlemen
found that fine marble palace was going forward
toward completion, modelled upon the plan sub
mtted by himself but rejected by improvers Of the
property. Further inspection convinced him that
he had been defrauded in the matter, and that his
plan had been copied and executed without any
intention of remunerating its author. Bringing the
subject before jury, he claimed six hundred dol
lars as his right in the premises, but adjusted
the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, with
which he retired from the contest against such q
combination of money and meanness as this Incl
dent developed.
HEROIC CONDUCT OF YOUNG LADY.-A week Of
SO SINCE we regret to learn, young child of three
or four years of age and daughter of DIR. j. H
| Wayt, of this city, while playing about the yar6
attached to Mrs. Redds residence, in Henry county
Va, was struck on the foot by Rattlesnake. Mrs
| Wayt was absent when it occurred, but owing tc
| the presence of mind and heroic conduct Of 9
young lady (diss G. Reed) the chld's life was
saved. She, without moments hesitation, and
fully aware of the danger she incurred, set to work
| to draw the poison from the wound by applying
her mouth to the bite and sucking out the virus
| which she persevered in until she was satisfied
| that the poison had been eradicated. Up to this
time she has experienced no i'll effects from the
poison; and the child, with the exception Of 6
| swelling of the foot and leg, was well in o few
| days. charlotte IN. Co. Bulletin.
