PEPPERRD.-On Sunday last the usually
quiet precincts of Old Woman's Gulch were
enlivened by small specimen of shooting
scrape. The parties who amused themselves
and their neighbors by indulging in little
innocent pastime of this kind. were a good
sized native of the Faderland, named Busch,
and an unbleached American of African de-
scent, who was formerly engaged in hoeing
corn and potatoes on the plantation of his
master in Tennessee, and who rejoices in the
euphonious cognomen of Johnson. Busch
was the injured party, the skin of his benev-
olent physiognomy being punctured in
number of places, caused by thrusting his
face in a direct line with the muzzle of a
shotgun loaded with bird shot at the time 1t
exploded. One of his fingers was also con-
siderably lacerated by the discharge, but no
serious doubts are entertained of his ultimate
recovery. Busch had Mr.. Johnson-the
person who had control of the gun at the
time he received its contents-arrested. At
the trial the versions of the affair given by
Busch and the witnesses for the defendant
agreed but in one particular-that Busch
was shot. He sworc positively that he did
not see Mr.. Johnson until he heard the re-
port of the gun, and that he was proceeding
quietly on the way to his accustomed avoca-
ton, chopping wood, with his ak on his
shoulder, at peace with all the world. Mr..
Johnson's witnesses told q different tale
They vehemently and repeatedly declared
that the lamb-like Busch, upon approaching
the cabin occupied by the chivalrous Ten
nesseean, raised his ak in hostile manner,
and bore down on the latter gentleman in the
most gallant style until he met the charge of
shot, which persuaded him to change his
laudable intention of splitting Mr.. Johnson
wide open. Taken all in all, the matter was
considerably mixed up, and to tell the truth
we think it was about ''stand-of" " between
the combatants. We would not have the
slightest objection to their fighting it over
again, and should they conclude to do SO and
the result should be such as to lessen our
population by two, we are not apprehensive
but what we could survive the shock. After
patient examination of the case, and listen
ing attentively to the stories told by both
parties, His Honor, Judge Leavitt, informed
the gay boy from Tennessee that he was at
liberty to travel, practically deciding that it
is no crime to shoot into "Busch.'

THE FEEIAN INVASION.

tralty laws military enterprise against the British
North American colonies. was projected and at

Jurisdiction Ct the United States. In obedience of
the obligation imposed upon the Executive by the

against taking part in aiding such unlawful pro-
ceedings and the proper civil and naval officers
directed to take al necessary measures for The

IT has not been without its painful consequences.

OUR RELATIONS Win GREAT BB1rA1N.

1t is a matter of regret that no considerable
advance has been made toward an adjustment
of the differences between the United States
and Great Britain, arising out OF the depreda-
tiOns on our commerce, and other tTespasses
committed during the civil war, by British
subjects, IN violation of International law aud
treaty obligations. The delay, however, may
be believed to have resulted in no small de-
gree from the domestic situation of Great
Britain. An entire change of ministry occurred
in that country during the last session of par
lament. The attention of'the new ministry
was called to the subject, at an early day, and
there is some reason to believe that it will be
considered In a becoming and friendly spirit

might be the wishes of the government, it is
manifest that good feeling and friendship be-
tween the two countries cannot be established

EVER OF THEA sad story is con-
nected with the name of the writer of
the beautiful song "Ever of Thee"
which has been sung and admired by
so many in this country and in Eu-
rope.
Foley Hall was gentleman by birth
and education. Wealthy in his own
right, with large expectations, he led a
needless life, not choosing his associa-
ties, but allowing himself to be drawn
into the society of the vicious. His
property soon disappeared, and he was
left without resources to his daily bread.
His musical talents had been highly
cultivated, but as he never needed them
he scarcely knew to what degree they
could be made available. In his dis
tress, however, he wrote this charming
song, "Ever of Thee" A London pub
Usher gave him one hundred dollars for
it, but that amount with such spend
thrift would not last long. He wrote
other songs, but the money not coming
as fast as he wished, in a weak moment
he forged the name of his publisher,
and although every effort was made
(even by the publisher) to save him, it
was all no use, and poor Foley Hall
went to Newgate, and died broken
hearted before his trial came on.

How TO SAVE YOUR TEEru.-NIr.
Beecher, who is something of a physi-
clan, as well as theologist, author, lee
,turer, and reformer generally, says
Our teeth decay. Hence, bad breath,
unseemly mouth, and imperfect masti-
cation. Everybody regrets it. What
is the cause :? 1t is a want of cleanli-
ness. A clean tooth never decays.
The mouth is warm place, ninety-eight
degrees. Particles of meat between the
teeth decompose. Gums and teeth
must suffer. Cleanliness will preserve
the teeth to old age. Use a quill, pick
and rinse the mouth after eating brush
with CASTLE soap every morning; brush
with pure water ON retiring. Bestow
this trifing care upon your precious
teeth, you will keep them and ruin the
dentist. Neglect it, and you will be in
sorrow all your lives.
