ROBERTSON COUNTY NEWS.


The Robertson County Agricultural and
Mechanical Association invite proposals
for the building of the amphitheatre, the
judges stand, the:ladies' room, and inclos-
ing their fair ground with substantial
fence, This is being done preparatory to
holding fair during the coming fall.
The Springfield Register of the 9Th inst.
contains the following items:
FRF.-The kitchen of Mr. Britton Stark,
near Black Jack, in this county, was totally
destroyed by fire on Sunday night last. A
large amount of provisions was also con
sumed. The fire is supposed to be the
work Of an incendiary.
CANDIDATFs.-Oi winter visited us
again on Monday last with snow storm
and piercing cold winds. Ii was County
Court day, and many of our citizens came
to town unprepared for it. 1t was, how
ever, glorious day for electioneerng.
About twenty-five candidates were on the
streets, and it was not at all difiicuit, while
the snow was pelting down, to obtain the
promise of vote, on 4 proposal TO adjourn
TO a grocery. Each candidate left town
feeling sure Of his election-and the voters
didn't care if it did snow. Old Robertson
don't mind !he weather.
COMMITTED SUICIDE-On Friday last,
Mr.. William Berry, near Cross Plains, in
this county, committed suicide by shooting
his brains out with a rifle. Mr. Berry was
a good and worthy citizen, highly respected
in his neighborhood He had, some time
previous, manifested evidences of insanity,
and on the night mentioned, got up from
his bed end taking his gun left the house.
His wife fearing that something was wrong
went to the door and called several times;
she was answered from the kitcehn, and inn
mediately after the report of gun was
heard, which developed the above facts.
Mr.. Berry left written statement saying
that he did not intend that his reasons for
committing the rash act should ever he
known. He also made his will.
A FREAK OF AURORA OL.-On Thurs
day night last the residence of DIR. c. N.
Greenfield, near State Line, in Montgom-
cry county, came near being destroyed by
| fire. The circumstances, as we learn them,
are as follows DR.. Greenfield, while in
| the act of filling lamp with Aurora oil,
split some on the floor, and having light
ed candle in one hand, let it fall, setting
the oil on fire. This caused him to drop
the can from which he was filling the lamp,
| to which the fame was Immediately COM
municated. The flames spread over the
entire room, igniting window curtains, fur
| niture, etc. In the meantime, a large can
of oil was thrown out into the yard and
bursted. This was Immediately ignited
from the fame inside, and the devouring
element instantly enyeIoped the house.
Fortunately, however, a large quantity OF
water was convenient, which was with
