QCITE a DISAPPOINTMENT Monday last
was al interesting day. 1t opened with the
bright augury of being very hot and suItrv.
which, for tue most part, it was The skies
were as brass, and the dust in our streets
was as molten lead, except that a large por-
ton Of it was continually in the air, an alti-
tude lead could not so easily attain, nor so
long meintain. Soon after breakfast tour

time the young ideas are going TO the
place where they learn how to shoot" and
other lessons useful in Iife) we heard gen
tleman-who is evidently ''weatherwise" and
well versed in the signs of the horoscope
say that it would certainly rain before night.
Though the sun was shining brightly at the
time and there was not cloud in the heav-
ems as large as mans hand, and nothing to
indicate rain, as far as we could observe,
except that it was q very warm morning, we
believed fully in the prediction of our friend,
and went about our job printing with a light
heart and as much patience as Job ever man
ifeSted, in view of the promised rain and
hopeful Of the good time coming" generally
the sun still shone brightly and the heavens
were cloudIess. The whistle at - the Dixie"
" blowed' for twelve, and still no rain, and,
to US, no brighter promise of the coming of
the ardently hoped for aqueous element. Our
faith in the prophet Samuel" began to
WAIVER. We began to think he was one like |
some we read OF in "those days" although |
he was not arrayed in sleeps clothing
Presently, however, a slight breeze sprang
up away off in the Southwest a small cloud
was discernible, which grew darker and dark
er, and spread wider and wider until the sun
was eclipsed and nearly the whole heavens
were obscured. The breeze continued TO
increase in volume until it was a tolerably
respectable wind-cool and refreshing, with

Every moment we expected to see "the big
rain come dancing to the earth - as. indeed.
II did, but ii was about in spots" saw one
hundred drops to the half acre. During the
forepart of the afternoon il continued cool /
and cloudy, and our ears were saluted by the I
hoarse mutterings of the distant thunder I

A TRUE WoMAN.-The Talladega Re-
porter says that one of the Relief Com
mittees in that county recently visited q
widow lady whose on y son is in the ar
my, for the pupose of paying her the
sum of six dollars and sixty five cents.
her share of the 25 per cent fund for
relief of families of volunteers according
to the pro rata distribution recently made.
On approaching the house he saw one of
the old lady's two daughters in the field
blowing, the other in the loom weaving,
the mother carding and spinning. He
made known his business, but the old
lady promptly declined to receive the
money. saying she thought she could
manage 10 make living and support her
family as her son had left his bounty
money with her. She requested that the
money might be paid over to some of the
many families in the county who were
more needy than she was.

SHOCKING MURDER.-We learn that
Mr.. VIM. w. Harris, of Uchee. Ala.
who had been reported as mysteriously
missing for a week or more, was most
brutally murdered BY his own negroes.
on his plantation, in Russell county, about
three miles from the above place The
oserseer of Mr.. Harris had gone to the
war, and the latter was attending to the
business of the farm himelf. several Of
his negro men laid plan to kill him, and
found their opportunity on Wednesday
night of last week. He was sitting un-
der tree short distance from the house
when the murderers approached and
knocked him in the head with an axe
His body was carried into the woods.

over it.
The neighbors being satisfied from his
long absence that there was foul play 10
the matter, arrested one of the negroes.
who. upon the promise of impunity. di-
vulged the whole affair of the murder,
duplicating five of the negroes We un
derstand that all of the guilty made
full confession of their crime The cit

on the immediate execution of the mur

Two Of the negroes were engaged IN
the killing, and three others disposed Of
