An accident of an unusual character oc-
CURED here yesterday morning: \ mulatto
woman was making coffee IN 4 pot the top Of
which fitted very tightly, and at the same
time the spout somehow became stopped
up; while { .empting to examine the boil
ing stuff-a high degree of steam had by
this time been generated-a Very sIighj Ell
fort served to start the top, When, with
loud report, the whole mixture, steam, wa
ter and coffee grounds, blew up over her
face and head, scalding her terribly; by the
afternoon her face was SO swollen as to rem
der her entirely blind.
The rOgues were at work here last night;
they broke into a car and robbed it, though

HEAVY RAINS 1.-The oldest inhabitant -
does not remember SO violent a rain ts
hat which fell on yesterday and last night.
We fear that much damage has been done
the mills, and perhaps bridges, as the
len. We learn that the small branch run
ming across the road near what is known as
the ''pigeOn house, about a mile and
half North of the city, SO much swol
len that cOuntryman, IN endeavorlng to
ford it, had his horse drowned, and only
escaped himself by swimming.
We understand that the culvert on t 4e
railroad, in rear of Gen. COX's residence,
was broken down by the food of water.
ADJUSTMENTS IN RALElGE.-Music on the
Capitol square every afternoon, and spirited
contests at baseball by one or the other
of the city clubs each evening, afford diver
sion and entertainment to our citizens.-i
This is we'll Anything is desirable, which
is proper within ITSELF and which affords
the mind some relief from the cares and
troubles of every day life.

business, and the order ho preserves has
won for him the esteem and commendatiOn
of all parties, and the highest respect of the
Bar He is a strict disciplinarian, and un-
derstands the duties OF his position. Our
Legislature has made no better judicial ap-
pointment in the State, and the people of
this circuit may rest assured, that IN Judge
Fowle they have an able and capable ad-
ministrator of Justice, and one who will be
terror to evil dOers.
His charge to the Grand Jury was clear
and lucid explanation of the law, and his
exposition of the duties and responsible
ties of the Magistrates was so plain that
there could be no difficulty in understand
ing it. He particularly cautioned theJury in
regard to the negro, representing that they
were now an almost helpless race, and that
the enemies of the South sought every op-
portunity to make capital out of every ne
gligence of the law to be used to our injury
