MAN SHoT.-On last Thursday night
man by the name of John Iyey, who lives
some three or four miles from this place,
in Granger county, was shot by party Of
men, and dangerously if not fatally wound
ed We have heard some two or three
versions of the affair, all conflicting but
which lead to the conclusion that the diff
Guilty was in regard TO some act which Ivey
was charged with committing during the
war MOrristOtOn Gazette, June "A.
We notice that the trsias on the Evans
vile, Henderson, and Nashville railroad
that pass our city daily, are crowded to
overaowing with passengers, while the
business in the way of freight, which is
already large, is on the increase. Of late
the managers of this road have been adding
good supply of rolling stock, among
which we notice an elegant passenger
coach, built on the latest and most i'm
proved style.-Springfeld Register, June % 4
AND STILL No RAIN.--Except very
light shower on Saturday last, which only
served the purpose of laying the dust, We
have had as yet no rain at this place. In
some portionsof the county, we learn, there
have been some light falls of rain, but not
near enough to do the crops the good they
need. 1t IS now nearly forty days since
this place has been visited by wetting
rain, aud per consequence our gardens are
nearly burnt up for the want of it.-QeUe.
