boys about twelve years old. The wound
is not considered dangerous, we believe.
Everybody is convinced that these men
were not Ku-Klux, and it is time that the
real Ku-Klux were generating themselves

MICRO SHoT.-Last Saturday night a
negro man living on the premises of Mayor
EUgle, in the southern portion of town,
named Hense, was called to open his door
in a rather peFemptory manner. Very
naturally, he demanded the names of thoee
who we're honoring him at this unfashion-
| able and unreasonable honr. The persons
outside, however, refused to tell their
names or their business. The negro COM
menced putting himself in condition to
receive company, but his visitors refused
to wait any longer, and fired pistol shot
! through the door, hitting him in the hip,
inAicting painful though not dangerous
wound. The persons were in the disguise
of Ku-Klux, but it is the belief of all that
they were ueounterfeits. They are repre-
sented as having been drunk and disorder
ly.-C6lWmbia Herald, June 20.
THE STRIKE ENDED.-After lasting
thirteen days, the strike on the Mobile aud
Ohio railroad was brought to an end on
Wednesday, and trains are now running
regularly. The managers of the road made
this proposition to the disafected operat-
ives, viz: to pay them one months wages
and retain them in the service of the road,
or pay them in full up to date and discharge
them. The men at the Whistler shops ac-
cepted the former, and the men here the
latter mode of settlement. They were con-
sequently paid up and discharged. We
trust we will have no more of these
Strikes" The loss to the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, by the recent strike, will
not fall short of 100000, while the stop
page of travel and freight has proven of
incslculable injury to communities and re-
suited in much damage, and, in some in
| stances, considerable peeunisry loss to pri-
yate individuals.-Jackson Wing, June 20.
FREAK OF A CALF.-A calf only three
days old, belonging to one of our friends
in this vicinity, took the most extra ordi-
nary freak the other day. The little boz
vine was left in the yard while the COW, Its
mother, was put out to Craze. In short
time she came mp, and not seeing her dar-
ling, she set up most piteous, distressed
and plaintive lowing, which at once at
tracted the attention and sympathy of the
family. The calf was missing and could
not be found. Every pook and corner
about the premises were searched, and then
the whole neighborhood was quickly run
over by the anxious children, when one
after the other all returned, sorrowful and
respondent and without any tidings. In
the meantime the little slumberer having
been awakened by the continued and loud
cries of its almost distracted parent, an
swered her from the upper story of its mas
ter's dwelling to which it had, unaided and
alone, quietly and stealthily made its way
up the unusually steep stairway, and Sc
creted itself under a bed.-MemphiS Post,

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD
We have before us a letter from gentle
man residing in Hunt county, Texas,
making inquiry for man calling himself
Charles Ames, who protested to have re-
sided in this county from his infancy, and
for whom a reward of $4,000 is offered. On
going to that place in November last, he is
said to have carried testimonials of char
acter from the county officers of this county,
and also from the highest officials OF the
State, bearing the seals of their respective
offices. He is represented to have married
daughter of the gentleman writing on the
18th of March last and on the 10th of
May robbed him of horse and $ls50 in
gold coin and left for other parts. He pro-
fesses to be a dentist. He is well educated,
polite aAd of becoming manners, not very
talkative. The person offering the reward
signs his name Daniel Cole, Greenville,
Hunt county, Texas. We have made in
quiry of the county officers and find that
the testimonials referred to are forgeries.
We learn, however, that a young man
answering the description did reside in the
county up to the breaking out of the war,
when he left, going into the Rebel army.
The name we are not able to get.-Mc'
