 FATAL AccrDRNr.-A'v very sad acci- dent occurred yesterday, few miles from town, which resulted in the death of Q young man by the name of John Lloyd. He was riding g wild mule at the time. and the mule becoming fright ened, threw him againsta . stump on the side of the road, killing him almost in stantly. Mir. Lloyd leaves a wife and child, besides numerous friends, to mourn his untimely death.
 KrLLED.-Ed. Baldy, little school boy iR this county, on the 8th day of this month, killed Carroll Deal, another school boy, by striking him on the head with bottle, which was in his satchell at the time, and in which he was in the habit of carrying milk to school. It appears that deceased was . large boy aud been quarrelling with n little bro ther of Baldy and had either struck or struck at him when he received the blow which resulted in his death. The Doctor who examined the deceased could find no evidences of a blow, ex- ceptsa slight thickening of the skin at one point on the head. o
 From all the evidence it appears that Ed. Baldy had no purpose of inaicting serious injury upon deceased, and that the killing was wholly unintcn- tional. He was, however, bound over by our Senatorial Magistrate in bond of $500, to appear at the Circuit Court.

 CIRCUIT CouRr.-Monday, the 18th ult, was the time appointed by law for the holding of the circuit court in this county. No court was held here, nor was there one holden in this judicial district under the new regime during the summer and fall. A man by the name of Story, it is said, is the appoin- ted for this district, who claims to be resident of Sebastian county, in this state. Tho present constitution pro- vides that the judge shall reside in the circuit or district to which he may be appointed or elected. Judge Story is unknown here, and, from what we can learn, has never put his foot on the soil in this judicial district. During last August, a printed circular was received here from Judge Story, dated Salem Massachusetts, in which he directed that all the courts in this district should stand adjourned for eight weeks. As the judge had no right to adjourn Q court in vacation, our circuit court, stands adjourned until next March, by operation of law. We have no resi- dent judge ofthe circuit court, and the consequence is, that those important writs of injunction, writs of habeas corpus, and other remedial wants, can not be issued or acted upon without great delay. Life, liberty and property of the citizen, are in jeopardy on ac- count of the absence of the presiding judge.
 SHOOTING FROM THE BUsH.-On last Saturday about II o'clock a. m.. while D. F. Upham, and +. A. Mcclure, were riding along the road about eight miles from this place, were fired upon by some unknown persons concealed in the brush. Both were slightly wound ed. Tho act was deprecated by the citizens of this place, who volunteered to execute the law at all hazards, If complaint was made and process put in the hands of officers for execution. No action was taken However, because the persons who did the act could not be unidentified, and no clue is as yet dis covered to prosecute the offenders. We do not suppose that the motives which prompted this unlawful act was of a political nature. F. A. Mcclure, the register of this county, had given . fair registration, for which tho people of this community had accorded to him credit for . fair administration of the registration law.
