A Row n, New Lexington.

A row occurred at New Lexington,
Perry county, yesterday afternoon, in
which one man was shot, and another Sc
riously injured by being struck on the
head with a club. The following are the
particulars so far as we have been able to
ascertain them: DR.. Reel & Son, who
have been merchandising in New LrXing-
ton for some years past, yesterday, when
the sheriff of Perry county went to their
store to execute process OF law, and close
it up, threat ned to shoot him if he at
tempted to enter. The Sheriff called on
Col. w. H Free, and others, to assist him,
and they then approached the door of the
store building, where DIR. Reed and his son
st ,od, with revolvers in hand, threatening
to shoot them if they approached. The
Sheriff and his party made rush for the
II en-. when they attempted to fire their
revolvers, but failed, the caps not explo-
ding. The Sheriff ordered his party to
fire on them, which they did, wounding
young Reed, the ball passing in through
his mouth. Notwithstanding his wound,
however, young Reed got hold of large
club, and with it struck Col. Free over the
head, iujuring him so seriously as to en-
danger his life. The father and son were
then secured and lodged in Jail. We have
no other particulars of the affair other
than is given abOve.-ZdResUiUe Courier.

TIE RICE CRop.-It is very gratifying to know
that in spite of the immense amount Of damage
sustained by tho plantations along our river from
the effects Of the heavy rains, the rice crop has
improved greatly, nnd now bids fair to realize on
an average, in some instances, at least two thirds
New Hanover and Brunswick are the two rice
counties of this section. In these counties some
rs 600 bushels were raised last season. and in spite
of the great impedmeHts to its maturity, tits cal
culated that about $4,000 bushels will be realized
from this CROP About one-third more Of land was
planted this year than the last. Then, the aver
ago yield was something like As or 80 bushels to the
acre; this year it will not exceed S5 bushels,
These figures are the result of a rough calcula-
ton made by friend, himself planter, to whom
he applied for information. When it is considered
that but comparative mite of crop was at one
time expected, tho prospect now presented is truly
most gratifying one. 1t must be borne In mind,
however, that this estimate is made as an average
of all, the few plantations under cultivation below
here producing much better than those above, On
many of tho latter not moro than one-fourth OF a
crop will be made Warrington Post, 1Gh.

TIE L1aHT-FNaERED GENTRY OF PARIs.-The
ambition of the Gaul is boundless. Whatever
another can do he will do and, if possible, do it
better. He is o renowned adopter of and improver
upon the inventive genius Of other nations. This
ambition seems even to extend to auoh arts as
picking pockets. II credit may be given to an &C.
count in French Review, this telonious art has
been carried by the Partisan thieves to degree
of perfection that leaves the rascaty of the rest
of mankind" far behind. The operation is thus
described as performed in French omnibus ::
''The thief Of course well dressed, enters the om
nibus armed with very small morsel Of lead at
tached to very fine thread Of black silk, The
extremity Of this thread he holds between his
forefnger and thumb, and as soon as his nearest
neghbor takes out his or her for the
purpose Of paying the fare-which is paid in Paris
on entering the omnibus-the thief, his eyes ap-
parently fixed in contemplation Of some far off OBJ
ject, dexerously launches thebit Of lead into the
porte-monnaie Just as the owner is closing II. The
purse is then returned to the pocket Of the un-
conscious owner, who never sees the thread, by
which he is now in the power Of the thief As
soon as an opportunity occurs, or is provided by
the thief himself who tumbles apparently clumsi-
ly against his neighbor at the first stoppage Of the
omnibus, the purse is gently drawn from its
owners pocket and transferred to that Of the rogue
who as soon as possible leaves the conveyance,
with polite salutation to his victim and the rest
Of the travellers. ."-Batimore Sun.

The iuconveniences attending the turning, bsc

The inconvenences attending the turning, back
ing and other needful evolutions Of that awkward
vehicle termed "truck" or dray have long been felt
butno practical attempt hitherto to have been
made to improve its machinery. With the e1cep-
ton Of being better built and having springs some
times the present trucks are faithful imitators OF
their prototypes. An inventive person in New
Bedford however, has finally succeeded in invent
ing something to obviate the present clumsiness.
This invention consists in the employment of a
single forward wheel fastened in disc, which
moves in another, by the movement Of which the
driver is enabled to turn his gear without the ne
cessty Of backing or the possibility Of being
cramped in any conceivable position. Another
immense advantage is the avoiding the lateral,
Stating motion Of the thills, the forward wheels

settled except by establishing the constitutional
ty or unconstitutionality Of the Reconstruction

Sickles, obeying the orders Of Congress- to whom
he alone is responsible, by the very act which
places him in command Of his district is acting in

gress has usurped the executive and legislative
powers Of the Government.

VEGETABLE "CuRIED HAMA new material
for beds has been discovered in California, that
country Of SO many and spoh valuable productions.
1t is asserted that there s at present dug out Of
the mountains Of the Sierra range better mate
rial for beds than is now available in the markets
OF tho world, fully equal to curled hair, and max
ing comfortable, usefal, and healthtpl beds, This
material is the :" soap root" which grows in un-
united quantities in California. It is described
as dubious root, enyeloped in q very tough and
supple fibre, resembling somewhat the husk Of
cocoanut in color and appearance, but nearly as
tough as whalebone. The roots are dug chiefly by
Cinnamon, bound in bundles of one hundred
pounds each end brought on poles, to the factory.
The first work is to put the roots through pick
er, similar to a threshing machine, which is run
by horse power. This separates the fibre into a
hair Of eight to ten inches long, which Is placed
in large vat or steamer till it becomes flexible,
and is freed from all gummy on glutinous mat
ter. It is then dried in the sun, put through
another finer picker, then taken ndtwisted into
ropes, and then steamed again, which sets the
curl. The ropes are bound in bales, and are ready
for the market The natural color is brown, but
it is colored black, and an expert would find it
hard to tell it from curled hair,
