In MEmoR:Y-.-It falls to our unhappy lot

In MEMORY. 1T falls to our unhappy lot
to chronicle the death of Cross, dog Cross,
the property and friend ofsC. Chap Richard
man; who was assassinated on the 23d July.
Cross was pupped in March, 1859, and living
from puppyhood through the, succeeding
years to the unfortunate date above, he was
8 years and 4montls old, Passing through
the e7entful period Of secession and lconse>
quent war, his character, though otherwise
exemplary, took awarlike turn, which was
shown more particularly to the enemies of
his masters household. Coming from, good
stock and falling early into good hands, much
was expected of lim, which in large ,de>
gree was realized. His reputation was not
confined to the limits Of his native town, for
he was made the subject of honorable notice,
in a communication to this paper from the
famed city of.New Orleans, not long since,
in which he was compared fatteringly Supe>
rior TO the dogs of that city. Like other
dogs he had four legs, two before ana TWO
behind, tail of fair proportions, the usual
complement of ears, and a mouth full OF
teeth. LONG and sharp, and body Of large
size and strength. His love Of beef was only
exceeded by his aversion to boys and gentles
men of African descent. His masters chlck>
en- roostS and premises were never lntruded
upon, but always held as sacred precincts,
while under the watceful guardIan.shlp OF
Cross. Little children's mothers and little
girls. always crossed the streets when Cross,
was about and with palpitating hearts has,
tened from the neighborhood. Delighted
with these splendid qualities, his masters
love kept increasing with his years, Wn1ie
his pockets grew lighter from the amounts
spent with the beef man. To his master me

some stores bottles of wine are also kept on
hand for lady shoppers, and in others the
merchants allow their boys to go to The

desire it, WhiSkey and brandy are the Ia

The Barbecue of Messrs, Hunter and Birge
came off on Wednesday with considerable
eclat. Perhaps not: as many were on the
ground as were looked for, but enough we
hope to keep the energetic gentlemen from
loss. It was decidedly the most orderly and
best arranged barbecue we have ever attends
ed. The dinner was ample, the meats capi>
tally served, and the 1xings abundant. One
of the features was the number.o of ladies who
graced it with their presence and who we
are satisfied enjoyed the feast. AS a conse>-
quence of freedom large number of ladies
and gentlemen of color filled up the outside
setting, forming an artistic ebony frame
work to the picture. ~.

the caroT. Mr.. Walker at once arose and IN
cononany cor with Butler Estes, his COUSIN,
obayed the summons, After proceeding
Son1a distance, the party was haIled Dy q
Soan mon in the woods and informed that the
xysron had been moved some distance back.
they retraced their steps and were Joined by
o second negro. While walking IN the dl~
rection of the supposed wagon, the two white
men somewhat in advance, Mr.. Estes was
alarmed by a half>StiAed shout, and on look~
inc back perceived that Mr. Walker was IN
the grasp of tie negro who first VISITED the
house. At the same instant the negro VINO
had Joined them on the road attempted 10
seize Mr.. Estes, who, being unarmed, ne9
to the house. He outran his pursuer and
before reaching the. house, heard the dis
charge, of a pistol. Fifteen minutes after
wards the front door was burst open by the
same two negroes, one of whom discharged
a pistol, the ball from which narrowly eS>
caped striking the aged mother OF MI W ak
,er, who was lying in bed. H.
They then ransacked the house at their
leisure, remaining for an hour or longer,
and selecting such, articles as suited their
inclination. The body of Mr.. Walker was
found early Monday morning, lying in the
centre of the public road. A pistol ball had
entered the right temple, traversing the brain
and producing instant. death; NO otner
wounds were discovered. Mr. Walker was
one of our most esteemed citizens and MS

is described as stout, black fellow, twenty

The other is "copper" colored, taller and
heavier than his companion Both were
armed with pistols. Col, Bliss, the Cons

the citizens has spared no efforts to secure
the arrest of the Williams. The murder was
most boldly planned and deliberately execu>

excitement. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that

crime will speedily be captured and Drought

A NEW ENTERPRIsE--Z00L0GI GAR
nEN ... ..

The burning of the American Museum IN
July last has afforded Mr.. Barnum an oppor
tuuity to inaugurate long cherished enter
prise, that of arranging permanent and in>
creasing geological garden in connection
with his museum. The public will learn
with satisfaction that it. is an accomplished
fact. Combining his museum with Van
,Amburgh's famous u1enagerie, and an asso-
citation with capital of two millions of dol>
lars, the great experience and wealth of its
projectors entitle it to rank with the institu-
tions of Europe. Thirty acres Of ground
will be taken up with buildings &C., for the
breeding and care Of rare animals, andbirds,
and for training some Of them for public
performances. It is scarcely possible IN a
limited space to give a correct idea, or an
enumeration of ali the curiositieS, the won~
ders collected from all parts of the world, OF
the rare animals, the living and the dead
which will help to make the great combina>
ton the wonder Of the world; suffice itearth,
air and water will be laid under contribution.
Mr.. Barnum sailed for Europe on the 18th Of
July to secure curiosities, and to confer with
agents, some of whom have already traVersed
large portions of Africa and Asia in search
of rare animals and other novelties. The
combination will be known as the tsBarnun
and Van Amburgh museum and menagerie
company" and those two establishments
will form the nuclei about which is to be
reared the most comprehensive place Of
amusement and instruction which has ever
existed on this continent.

Er. Lcnuel Lane, of this district, was, ,bru-
tally murdered last Friday night, by num-
Der of freedmen together with one or
two white men, as we, are informed
The instrument used was an axe or
batchet. It appelrs that he was asleep un-
der the shade Of large tree near the door
of his dwelling, with little son by his side.
The party stealthly approached the sleeper,
and with one fell blow despatched the un-
fortunate man, who passed, apparently with
out groan or mtrmur,tO the eternal world,
for his little son slept calmly on, uncon>
scious of his fathers cruel fate. Mr.. Lane
had in his possession between eight and nine
thousand dollars in gold, which was the key
to this attrocious design. His daughter, ell
dest son and Mr. Heller, guest, escaped.
The two latter were carried some distance
and tied, but succeeded in iberatng them
selves. It is believed that the party, after
getting the gold made general distribution,
then stealing a quantity Of meat, Whiskey
and swo mules, went in the direction OF Co.
lumbia. Before daylight, Saturday morn
inc, as soon as a few men could be got to-
gether, pursuit was made. But strange are
the wavs of Providence. It would seem that
two of the party, arriving near Columbia,
met several little boys at play, and accoStlng
them. asked if there was not a nigh cut
across to the Charlotte Railroad, which
was answered in the affirmative ); also II
there was not spring near by. The boys
went with them to point out the spring,
when, in STOPPING to drink, a bag of money
fell from one of the party, which excited an
exclamation of surprise from the boys. They
were hushed up with an oath and threat.
The men then left the spring, and the boys,
alarmed, went home and informed. Pursuit
was them made by several citizens Of Colum
bia, whereupon the party discovering their
pursuers, instantly ran in oppoSIte directions.
They would not halt. One was shot and the
other captured. The man shot was recog-
nized by colored boy who formerly lived
here, as John Counts, alias John DaWKIns,
the other was confined in the Columbia jail
John Counts had eighteen hundred dollars
in specie abont his person The other who
gave his name as Cook had small amount
of money ,and pistol with Mr.. Lanes name
engraved thereon. We understand that
twelve or thirteen are under arrest here sus~
pected of completely in the murder.

miles west of Laurens G. H. Specimens of
the wool carded at their mill have been left
with rs and at the store. of Carwile & Nc
Caughrin. The specimens exhibited are pro-
nounced very superior, being free from nap

learn the machinery employed is entirely
new and of the latest and most approved
patterns; and the superintendent of the work
is a man of large experience, having been
engaged for thirty years in, the business.
Wool left at CarwiIe & Mclaughlin will be

TERRIBLE TRAGBDY.-Bud Hammond, a
son of NJ. C. Hammond, Of Atlanta, Ga, was
brutally murdered by two negroes on Satur>>
day last. A slight alteration had occurred
between young Hammond and black boy
in the mplov Of his father, but settlement
had been made, and no further difficulty was
anticipated. At night, however, as young
Hammond was in the rear of his Store he was
seized by the mother of the boy, stout
woman, and held firmly until his throat had
been cut by her son. Both Of the parties
have been arrested.

THE WEATHER.-The heated term and
the drouth are alike broken, and blessed with
copious and delightful rainy seasons a gene~
raj refreshing is felt. The desponding farmer
is hopeful. To a portion of the corn. crop
the favorable change comes too late, but to
the general crop incalculable good has fallen.
Except that the cotton plant is small and
not advanced, the crop has experienced no
other injury. The rains seem,to have been
general as heard from various quarters.
