ATTEMTDD SUICIDE
The Results of Unrequited COlOred Love.

An ugly, black, cock-eyed freedman, named Tom
Looney, who was recently porter at the Tennessee
House in this city, has for sometime been enamor-
ed of the charms Of dusky damsel who is living
at the parsonage, but has utterly failed to make
any impression upon her coquettish heart. Driven
to desperation, he went to her last Wednesday and
frankly told her that if she didn't marry him he
would kill himself The obdurate heart of the
damsel was not softened, who laughingly told him
ia "pitch in" The disconsolate "Iovyer'' imme-
diately repaired to the side of the hill IN full view,
and commenced a vigorous saving on his throat
with jac-knife, and but for the interposition OF
meddlesome parties, might have made bad sore
place, but he was persuaded to desist, and is now
doing well. His dusky charmer has not relented.

It had long been understood that the life
of this good man was wasting away, yet
the final stroke shed no less sadness upon
the hearts of his many friends and rela-
tives. He had lived the life of an honorable,
modest, unobtrusive, christian gentleman,
alfectionate and kind in his intercourse
with all, and died with his faith unsha-
ken in the mercy and goodness of God.
He has gone to that "Heaven that bends
over all and judges ALL" and treads the
walks of the new Jerusalem, "whose breath
is balm, whose atmosphere is love, whose
surroundings are the highest and best Gre
atoms of Infinite Mercy"

hearts Of the whole community are extend

tect them with his loving kindness.

Temnerance Address

DR.. @. G. Abernathy's address last Mon
day night to Pulaski Division Sons often.
perance, was one OF the prettiest, most mas
terly and scientific physiological lectures
that we have had the pleasure of listening
to. The Doctor entered briefly into sci
entifc examination of the effects of alcho-
holic spirits upon the human system,
showing by an overwhelming array of facts
and established scientific principles that
its general use is entirely hurtful, and not
in the least beneficial, and that it is ex-
tremely dangerous to to use it in whatever
form as beverage, aud that the tendency
in such cases is to drunkenness. His vivid
pictures Of the horrors of intemperaEce
were drawn by a skillful pen, and his adj
vice aud encouragement to the brothers to
remain steadfast and true to their princi-
pies was impressively given. The Doctor
INDUCED himself in some beautiful flights
of fancy, and his fine picture of the home
aud family circle of the reclaimed inebriate
was striking and extremely happy.
The address was an intellectual feast to
the members, and at their request Doctor
Alternately presented the Division with the
manuscript. How much better is it for our
young men to spend an evening listening
to these enobling addresses than at the grog
shop or around the social card table. We
always leave the hall after having listened to
them, benefited in every respect.and with
irmer resolves to remain true and steadfast
in the course which we have adopted.

pologY.


The failure upon our part to make men
ton last week Of the eloquent and beauti-
full address delivered before the Methodist
Sabbath School, two Sundays ago, by our
friend ABE FRIzzELL, and the chaste essay
read by Miss WHITLEY, must be excused
by our readers for the same reason as that
given elsewhere for another seeming dire
lection Of duty. Our iudisposition render
ed US incapable OF discharging all our du-
ties to our own or the satisfaction Of our
friends. Those who are acquainted with
the versatile capacities of Mr.. Frizzell need
not be told that his address was eloquent
and pleasing to the appreciative audience,
while Miss Whitley's was perfectly beGuti-
full and delivered in a modest though un-
embarrassed manner which perfectly en-.
raptured the audience.

Fatal ARrav-

An afray occurred on last Sunday
morning. about six miles below town, on
Richland creek, between Robert Mitchell,
or "Old Bob" as he always called himself,
and William Hammonds, in which the for
mer was shot dead. The facts of the ira
gic affair, as detailed to US, show that
Mitchell, who, when drinking, was p des-
perate character, and young Hammonds,
who is only about nineteen years Of age,
and married man, were living IN different
apartments under the same roof, and were
by marriage, related. Some misuEder-
standing had existed between them for
some time, and they had not been living
on very friendly terms. Mitchell had been
off somewhere Saturday and came home
about 1 o'clock SunSy morning, under
the influence of liquor. On arriving he
went to the door of young Hammond's
apartment and demanded admittance, which
was refused. He threatened TO force an en-
trace, when Hammonds got his gun or
pistol, went out at the opposite door of the
house, aud coming around the corner, shot
at Mitchell, the ball grazing his neck, up
on which, Mitchell cursed him and told him
to shoot again. Hammonds thereupon
fred the second shot which killed him it
is supposed instantly. Mitchell was found
about 90 steps from the door, lying upon
the ground, dead, with his pocket knife
half OpepRssthe ground near him. From
the few facts that we can learn of the affair
we are not able to form an opinion whether
the homicide was UNSUITABLE or not, but the
immediate flight of Hammonds we'd in
dictate that he was not justified
mind in committing tie
since been appreheuded.
