pita soon after the fight. Yesterday, DIR. Berthe.
lot examined the wound, and to his surprise found
what had not been discovered at the hospital
namely, that large fragment of the Jnetacarpal
bone had been sliced Off by the blow with the
sword, and was held loosely inside the flesh and
tendons. This, we should explain, was the bone
OF the middle finger in the back Of the hand, just
below the first knuckle, which received the cut.
The Doctor extracted this piece of bone, and
wrapped it up in piece of paper and gave it to
Gaiennie to show to his friends.

day night, as the Douglas procession was passing
along, Bartlett stood on the sidewalk hurrahing for
Brecknridge. Nader, who was a marshal in the
procession, on horseback rode up and cursed Bart

Yestet day. meeting Nader, Bartlett retaliated the
insult of Saturday night, by going up to him and
splitting in his face. Nader quickly drew his cane
sword and made several iunges with IL; Bartlett at
first attempted to defend himself with his fists
then he drew a revolver, but he was seized before
he could shoot, and Nader retreated.

burg, made the arrest He chased the fellow two

| in stating this, because it is probable that re-
ward of $500 will be paid for the arrest by the au
tho1ities of st. Louis, the prisoner being accused
Of murder in that city. Leggett knew nothing of
4 this when he made the arrest; he simply arrested
the man upon information that he had been ie5-
bing passengers Oil the boat. Chief of Po' .
McClelland first got the information, after Nxon
or Humphreys was in prison, that he was the
fugitive murderer from up the river, with price
on his head. Innocent as Leggett was in making
the arrest we think he will be entitled to good
share of the reward if it is ever paid.

ocrat of Saturday last says:
, We have rather more encouraging accounts O
i the cotton crop than heretofore-many planter
say that they will make nearly an average crop
others will come off short oft
The stands were, on all stiff lands, bad. Hun
dreds of acres failed to come up in the spring
these matter of course dead loss. Wher
stand was obtained, although, owing to til
drouth the stock is small, yet it is well boiled an
will give fair yield.
We are pleased to see that there is general dis
position among planters to handle their cotto
, more carefully than heretofore. This is right Les
n made and that of a better quality will in the lon
, run pay much better than large crops of dusty
:, dirty, inferior cotton. Take more palms, live NOR
within yourselves, and in twenty years the resu

The cane is very email but bids fair to ripen vel
. Should we have rains between now and the grinf
ing season to throw sufficient juice into the cane

o | thousand hogsheads. But should the dry weathe
continue, half two-thirds of this amount will b
