BORT PLAY WITH PowDEE.-A promising
little boy five or six years of age, living on
holt street was very badly hurt few
days ago,by the explosion of bottle of pow.
der which he was holding in his hand at
the time. 1t appears that he was pouring
the powder from bottle upon coal of fire,
when the explosion took place; a piece of the
bottle struck him on the forehead, and an
other on the chin, both of which produced
severe cuts, from which the bl God flowed
copiously. His wounds were dressed, and
we are pleased to learn that the little fellow
is doing we'll.
Only a few days before little fellow liv
ing on the same street was hurt in the sams
way. Boys should no the allowed to play
with powder, it's too dangerous.

which was loaded with mustard seed shot,
went to the window, and saw a specimen
of Young America running from the wood
house and making tracks for the fence
Surprising it to be some prowling incendiary
he "cut loose" at him, which extorted cry
from the retreating Don Quixote, conveying
the interesting intelligence that the shot had
perforated the seat of his s'unmentionables. F."
The mystery of the nocturnal visitation was
soon explained, however, by the emerging
from the aforesaid wood-house of the spright-
ly "maid of all work." who is, to use an OK.
preston exhumed from Herculaneum, as
"black as the ace of spades.'

More Of the Barbaarism of slavery.

The Tennessee Democratic Herald gives an
account of a most barbarous act of cruelty,
perpetrated on a slave of Mr.. D. Helm, about
Is miles from Columbia, by two Overseers on
the Central Southern Railroad. The Herald
SAYS that the slave had been run off some
time, and Mr.. Helm sent him back on the
passenger train. On the arrival ol the train
at Dodson's Gap, fifteen miles distant from
Columbia, they took and tied him to beech
tree, some 100 yards distant from the road,
and stripping him they whipped him with
leather straps and beech limbs for three hours,
giving him some 1000 or 1900 lashes. AT
ter whipping very near all the skin off his
back, they put turpentine on him and put him
out in the hot sun to work among rocks; being
of very stout and healty constitution he sur
vived it about "A hours, when he fell and
died almost Immediately.
The overseers names are Frederick Wright
and Thomas S. McCrary. Mr.. Helm offer;
$3.50 reward for the apprehension Of Wright
and $50 for McCrary, so that he can get them
