SuIeIpE.-An inquest was held at Holly Grove,
Gates county, n c., on the 23d ult, over the
dead bodyof DR.. R. I. Brothers, recent graduate
of the Baltimore Medical College The facts ad-
duced before the jury were briefly these: Deceas-
ed went in the store (of which he is part owner)
on Saturday morning, took down bolt of cotton
coth tore off small piece, and went out the back
door, His conduct was little strange, but excited
no suspicion at the time. At dinner he was absent
but still there was no suspicion of anything like
personal violence His continued absence, how
ever until and after night aroused the fears of his
wife, who soon made them known. A party started
in search of him and found his body lying in the
woods few hundred yards from the store. Be-
side it lay cocoa-nut which had evidently con-
tanned chloroform, and the piece of cotton cloth,
stepped in the liquid, was placed on the ground,
and the unfortunate young man lyng with his face
upon it-Peters5urg Express.

THE COOLEST THING ON RECORD.

! As General SCOTS army was marching trlunl-
phantly into the city of Mexico, procession of
monks emerged from the gate of convent situat-
ed on an eminence to the right, and advanced with
slow and measured tread until they met the army
at right angles The guide or leader of the pro-
cession was a venerable priest, whose hair was
whtened with the frosts of many winters. He held
in both hands contribution box, upon which
there was lighted candle. and when within few
feet Of the army the procession halted. As the
army proceeded, many true believer IN st. Pat
rick, dropped some small coin other in the old
priests box And when it was observed that
soldier was searching in his pockets for something
to bestow, the old priest would step forward and
hold his box to receive the donation.
Ultimately, there along tall, gaunt, linn
ber-sided gander- looking Yankee, who seeing
the old priest thrust his hands to the very depths
Of his breechcs pockets, fin search Of dime
something of the kind The priest, observing
this movement advanced as usual while Johna-
than holding forth greasy looking roll Of paper,
commenced very deliberately unfolding it, The
old priest anticipated liberal donation, and put
an air of the most exquisite satisfaction Jona-
than continued to unroll piece after piece of dirty
paper, until at length he found piece. of tri-twst
ed smoking tobacco. He next thrust his hand in
to another pocket aud drew forth clay pipe,
which with the utmost deliberation he proceeded
to fiji by pinching off small particles of the tobacco.
When this done, having replaced his tobacco
in his breeches pocket, he stopped forward and
lighted his pipe by the old priests candle, and
making an awkward inclination of the head, (in-
tended perhaps, for bow,) he said, "Much obeg-

MESSAGE OF THE PRINCIPAL CHIEF OF THE
CHOCrAw NArIoN-In the Memphis Enquirer
we find the message CT the principal chief of the
Choctaw Nation to the local Legislature, convened
in extraordinary session, to consider what course
the nation should pursue in view Of the probable
dissolution of the Union. While counselling the
several Indian Nations to cast their lot with the
Southern States, in the event Of their secession,
and to send delegates to Southern Congress, the
chief advises the sending of commissioners to
Washington to confer with the President of the
United States, and to look after the security of
their moneyed investments. In crncIusion, he
calls upon his counrymcn to stand by their rights
and never surrender them, even though national
humiliation should be the consequence Of refusal
to submit. The general council responded to the
message of their chief by passing series Of reso-
buttons recognizing it to be the duty and interest
of the Choctaw Nation to unite their destinies
with the Southern Con federacy.
