The SPoTTsvILLE MURDER.-From
a reliable gentleman, who is well ac-
quainted in that vicinity, we learn
that Hugh Bourn, who was murdered
by Brownlee, on Saturday night last,
at Spottsville, was a quiet, inoffensive,
industrious miner, who, after leaving
his work. stopped in the saloon to
take a drink. Sol. Koker, who is no.
torious as the bully and representa-
tive of the Newburg Democracy, and
fired into a torch light procession OF
Republicans iu 1860, at Newburg,
with his brother .in-law, Brownlee,
entered the saloon, and without a
word struck Bourn. Not appreciat-
ing that kind of a ~salutation, Bourn
broke a decanter over Koker's head.
Brownlee then stabbed Bourn.
Brownlee was taken to Henderson, at
his own request, without an examina-
ton, thus thwarting the efforts of GER
tain parties here to effect his release.

A "SNAIK SToRY-GREAT FA-
TALITY AMONG COMPREHENSIVE
following history of death among the
copperheads is sent us by Mr.. W. o.
Nightingale. a gentleman SO well
known in this county, as a man of
v~eracity, that the assertions he makes
will not be doubted, however extra
ordinary it may appear. He says:
while going down to the pasture on
the 18th of June to look after my
cow, my attention was attracted by q
rafting In the woods by the roadside.
Anxious to satisfy my curiosity, l
moved a pile of bark that had been
piled last year. aud to my wonder and
astonishment / found a large copper
head coiled ready, for fight. Having
prepared myself with what my father
called "papaw OIL" the fight com
menced. After a few rounds the
. Yank. came out victorious. The

that I was anxious to know the cause.

cold steel, and found eighty-six
live copperheads about three inches
long. The old snake measured three
feet six inches. Some of your read

nevertheless. After this wholesale

La
A GREAT STORM. Our city was
visited last evening by one of the
most fearful storms of rain, wind and
lightning that we have seen for years.
Two clouds heavily charged with
electricity and rain, one from the
south and one from the north, met al
most Owe the city, and for nearly an
hour a fearful, yet sublimely grand
elemental, war was waged. The wind
ragged and whistled with great fury,
but the opposing currents were SO
nearly equal that they almost neutral
lied each other. The light
nings darted down almost per-
pendicularly in the most vivid
flames, while the quick thunder
shook the very foundations of the
earth. The rain poured down in tor
rents, and so thick was the air with
water, that for a time we could not
see across the wharf. The cutters
and sewers ragged and roared like
mountain torrents, and even the steets
seemed as swollen brooks.
1t was a grand storm, though at
tended with no especial damage. A
few fruit trees were up-rooted, in the
upper part of the city where the storm
seems to have ragged with the greatest
fury. The opposing currents of wind
were SO nearly balanced, that it
changed thrice in less than half an
hour, blowing from the north
at first, the south wind yer
came it, and ina moment the cur
rent was the other way, but the north
wind recovering strength, charged the
current again, and held sway till long
after dark About 10 o'clock. anoth-
er rain set in, and continued until af-
ter midnight, and at times was ex-
ceedinly heavy The rain may possi-
bly, do some damage to the wheat
standing in shock. but we hope not.
1t will greatly benefit the corn and
tobacco.

4 correspondent, who has been making
Iun through Cambridge, Mass. thus
speaks of Longfellow:
Since the fearful death of his wife, by
burning, the outward man of the poet has
altered much. The step is less buoyant
than it WAS, the bearing less joyous, the
look less elate. The horid man has ma
tured into an exceeding mellowness Of Dig
nifty. Ripe and rich looking he always
was-exquisitely neat in dress and exqui-
sitely elegant in person-though always
animated by a sentiment that saved him
from the suspicion of foppery. But now
he has attained a wonderful completeness
of expression. His aspect 10 that of &
bard in the full sffiuence of his years, and
the full wealth of his genius. His silver
ed hair is long and wavy. His beard
grows white and thick beneath his ching
looking more like deep lace ruff than
anything else. His voice is melodious as
an organ; and his features, handsome as
ever, have been touched with new lines
by the action of thought AID sorrow.
His manners are very beautiful 70 ell
persons; and be carries about him that ia.
dsscribable atmosphere that marks the

MULE RAISING,

There are various branches Of husban.

to be remunerative, aud no doubt pay
better than any other branch of stock

Supposing that man owns Jack, and
hires within his neighborhood the uss of
twenty mares, at twenty Eve dollars each:
TO have the mules delivered sound at the
age of four and half months.
No outlay would be called for until

would grow and do we'll on any pasture
that sheep conld live on and even on wood
pasture. The twenty mules would not
SAINT territory larger for pasture than one
hundred aud fifty sheep. This season
the same number of mares should be hir-
ed, if the farmer has territory enough.
When the mules are fifteen or eighteen
months old. their points begin to be man
ifested, and they can be paired off and
partially broke. They should be mated
according to color, size, disposition, traV-
eI, &c, The next spring, when two years
old, they would be ready for market, OF
any time thereafter, aud perhaps some of
them the fall previous, when eighteen

from two to three thousand dollars worth
of mules to turn off every year, after the

reporter on trial yesterday. He wentout
to hunt items; and AFTER being away all
day returned with the following which be
said was the best he could do: "YesGsr-
We saW sight that froze ourmucles with
horror. A hackman, driving down Clark
street at a rapid pace, came very near
running over q nurse and two children.
There would have been one of the most
heartrending catastrophese ever recorded.
had not the nurse, with wonderful fore
thought, left the children at home before
she went out, and providentially stepped
into a drug store just before the hack
passed. Then, too, the hackman, jost
before reaching the crossing, thought Of
something that he lad forgotten, and
turning about, drove in the opposite di'
Tection. Had it not been for this wons
derful concurrence of faVoriDg ciFcumy
stances, a doting father, loving mothSr
and affeotionats brothers aud sisters. would
have been plugged into the deepest woe
and most unGtterable funeral expenses"
The new reporter will be retained.
