Two gents giving their names a. HARRY
REYEoLDs and JoHS 4. Nnrfo, were lodged
in jail on Wednesday last From what we
can learn they have been loafng in the up
per or eastern end OF this county some two
or three weeks, one representing himself as
having been an assistant in the postofice at
Nashville. On Sunday night last, they Wis
tied the premises of Mr. WILLIAM Books.
IN the 18th District Of this county, and APP
proprlatlng horse and mule, they left in
the direction Of Franklin, Ky. When pass
ing through Mitehellsville, they were fired
upon by some unknown person or persons
from corn-held, each receiving a wound
REYNOLDS shot in the side, aud NiNIMo a
shot in the arm. Continuing their journey
about a mile and half to the residence Of
Mr.. CRAEToE's, they became too sick to go
farther, when, on Monday morning, they
were overhanled and delivered to Mr.. A. c.
BRYAN Constable 1st District by whom
they were presented before Esqs WRIGHT
and JOHNSON, who committed them TO Jail
at this place, to wait trial at Circuit Court
The Lebanon Herald of yesterday, says:
The Grand Jury, at the last term of the
Circuit Court, found true bills against a
large number Of negroes for tipping with
out license, and We observe the Sheriff is
arresting quite a number Of them. They are
fined heavily, and either have to "plank
up" or go to Jail.
The case of the State VS.. JNo. WALDEN,
charged with horse-stealing, came on to be
heard on Thursday last, before Esqs. WI
KINsoN, PERKINS and SYPERT. Considera-
bic interest was manifested in the case by
citizens l;vingin the neighborhood in which
the alleged theft occurred, and the surprise
Of the spectators may be imagined when the
counsel for the prosecution announced that
he would enter a Bolie prOsegui, the proof not
being sufficient to establish the charge.
WALDEN, who, by the way, is a discharged
penitentiary convict was accordingly re-
leased from durance.
The Columbia Herald of yesterday, says
We have seldom heard 50 much qualification
expressed at any one shower as has been oc-
casioned by that Of Sunday last.
"A correspondent from near Hopewell
Church says: "On Sunday afternoon between
two and three o'clock, our neighborhood was
visited by a violent thunder storm, accom-
panied by strong winds and very severe hail.
The wind blew the corn down very badly,
while the hail beat it and cut of the blades
so as almost to destroy what fodder the
drought had left. Cotton, too was very
much injured. The hail, however, extended
over only a narrow belt, being worse through
DR.. PERRY's place, believe, than any
where else in the neghborhoOd. We were
mighty glad to get the rim, even with the
wind and hail." -- -y- ---I -
The Gallatin Examiner, ofyesterday, says:
