PARIS, July 16.-It is stated TO day

Another Bloody Incident Of the
BOltOn.Dickens Feud.
Mr.. Wade Bolton Shot by Col.
Tom Dickens on Main Street.

The old feud between the Bottoms and
Dickenses, with which the public has
from time to time, for twelve years, be.
come familiar through deeds of blood
and extensive lawsuits, yesterday re.
ceived the addition of characteristic in
cident, in which the two chiefs partici-
pated.
About halfpast ten A. NJ. yesterday,
while Mr.. Wade Bolton and Maj. G. V.
Rambaut were conversing on Main
street, by the west side of the Square,
the former, suddenly turning around,
exclaimed "Look at that man." Just
at that moment pistol report was heard
and Mr.. Bottoms left arm dropped to his
side. A bullet had entered the arm at
the shoulder joint, going through and
entering the side. The shot was fired
by Col. Thomas Dickens, who, with his
son, Capt. Sam. Dickens, had been APP
preaching from the direction of Odd Eel,
lows Hall. As soon as shot, Bolton
started briskly down street, and DIR.
Dickens wrested the weapon navy
six shooter-from his father. Deputy
Sheriff Williams, who had moment be-
fore spoken to Mr.. Bolton and Maj. R.,
and passed on, suddenly retraced his
steps ard arrested Col. Dickens. The
latter, evidently supposing Williams to be
aiding Bolton, called out to his son to
shoot him. DR.. D. replied, He won't
hurt you" and moment afterward Col.
Dickens was on his way to the Adams
street station, guarded by Williams and
Capt. Ben. Garrett. Mr.. Bolton, whose
wound bled profusely, walked to Messrs.
E. M. Apperson & Co.'s, where he re-
ceiVed the professional services of D.
Lynch.
During the day Col. Dickens was taken
before Esq. Millard, who, the wound
not being understood as serious, admit
ted Col. Dickens to bail in $1,000.
1t will be remembered that one night
last May Col. Dickens was wounded by
an unknown party who entered his resis
ience, suddenly extinguishing the light,
and commenced firing indiscriminately.
Two persons were killed, and another,
besides Col. D., wounded. 1t is the lat
.er's firm belief that Bolton instigated
he assault, and it is said information has
cached him of threats made subse-
luently against his life by Bolton

Carson's little girl was close by on
a trunk near the window, and one
or two others in the house. The
house was leveled with the ground
and completely wrecked, but,
strange and miraculous to say, that
none OF the inmates were severely
injured. Mr.. Carson's little girl
was carried one hundred and fifty
feet, and considerably but not dan
gerously hurt.
The tornado then crossed the
corner of Joseph Hahn's farm,
striking Mr.. Clifford's house. He
had just returned from Lake City,
and, seeing the frightfuI spectacle
coming, seized his children and
ran out of doors, throwing them
down on the ground and lying down
on them. The top story was taken
from his house and his wagon,
seeder and other implements were
carried of, some of which he was
unable to find. Three of his hogs
were killed.
Mr.. Carson describes it as being
a grand and fearful sight, particu-
larly when it struck Mr.. Romic's
house, sending the timbers in all
directions. 1t came down in shape
like funnel, following an uneven
course, striking the earth and
bounding up again.
The direction of both these tor
nadoes was northeast.

FOREIGN NOEEN.

A Java newspaper describes a model
native stats in Sumatra. Deli lies or
the east coast and carries on brisk trade
with Penang. The present Sultan is de.
scribed as highly intelligent prince who
has encouraged European agriculturist:
to settle in his territories, into whose
hands the chief produce of the island has
now fallen. Cocoanut planting and rice
cultivation are carried on extensively
Tobacco and nutmegs are also grown, and
pepper, which, however, has fallen off in
late years. The Sultan talks of steam
communication with Penang.
The cotton crops of 1869 in Japan
were expected to turn out only half the
produce of the two preceding years, when
3,740,000 pounds were said to have been
grown. The best statistics regarding the
state Of the cultivation in the Japanese
empire are exceedingly imperfect. The
area planted is variously estimated at
from 5000 to 10000 acres, but from cal
culations made by the consular authors
ties last year it would appear to be about
1875 acres. The land is held princi~

borhood of Yokohama, where probably
wages of all sorts are highest, daily
wages on the average among agricultural
laborers amount to II cents, or sixpence
and food.
The China papers report curious and
touching scene which lately occurred in
the Shanghse mixed courts. a dissolute
prodigal, having chain round his neck,
to which his hands were fast, was brought
up by his father. The parent, a very
respectable looking man, declared he
could make nothing Of the prisoner.
He had tried all means to cure him of
his propensity for smoking opium, but
without effect. If he gave him money,
it went in opium; clothes were at once
pawned to satisfy his cravings. Latterly
he had been chained up in a house to
see what effect that would have; but his
appearance on that occasion was because
he had broken out, and had been picked
up by q policeman. In fact, the father
declared he that he would be glad if the
court would take him in hand and give
him severe punishment. The judge
advised him to give his son another trial,
and adding that, if after one punishment
he was still incorrigible, Chinese law
would permit decapitation on the consent
of the father.

ENGLISH NOBILITY

A remarkable feature of English soci-
ETY. for some time back, has been the
ruin of wealthy noblemen of high rank,
by dissipation and gambling. The latest
case is the young Duke of Newcastle,
about thirty years old. In five years,
he has squsndered property that paid
him q yearly income Of 1915, 600. His
ducal no nolsion-Carlton House Terrace,
has been sold at public outcry. The sal
has extended even to the photograph o.
his wife as bride.
Among the articles sold, were the most
elegant furniture, 700 dozen choice wine
1000 ounces of silver plate, carriages
and horses, the Duchess guitar and mu.
sic, his three children's little souvenirs
his Bible aud Prayer book, the Racing
Calendar" in seventeen volumes, anC
the five or six cups won by his horses.
The Duke married in 1861, Henrietts
Adela Hope, beautiful daughter of 8
rich banker. His turf exploits had ever
then involved him, but his father in Law
gave him a check for $225000 to wipc
out his sporting liabilities.

A FAIR CUBAN PATRIOT.

One OF the most successful ofthe fair an
tTigaGnteS who are now interesting the
excitable and youthful part of cur popu-
lation in Cuban independence, is a young
lady who, a few years ago, created quite
q sensation here as belle. Indeed, her
DEBUT was made at one of our fashion
able watering places, and winter spent
subsequently in New Orleans fitted her
for the game Of hearts," which she now
so brilliantly turns to account in behalf
of the "Gem of the Antilles" A native
Cuban, she possesses the highest type of
Spanish beauty. Tall, slender, and grace
full, fascinating, even brilliant in CONVEX
satlon, she yet possesses the additiona
advantage of being the most exquisitely
and expensively dressed lady in the city.
One never sees her in toilet to which
the slightest objection could be made.
Her taste in the harmony of colors is
faultless, while her rich braids of glossy
hair, arranged to show its luxuries and
beauty, at the same time disclose
what ladies are ambitious of display
ing, that it is natural, and not the
handiwork of the hair dresser.
When it was further stated that she is
an heiress, with no prospective or present
matrimonial entanglenents, it is not sur
prisiDg that the influence she exerts is at
once controlling and valuable. Her par
lors are every evening thronged with the
elite of our young men, and one looking
upon the brilliant beauty, animated in
conversation, and the excitement incident
to such discussions, might well imagine
that be saw before him Madame Roland,
from the inspiration Of whose beauty ard
genious another Virginaud would arise to
give a statesman'S glory to her native
isle. Nor can one help feeling sym>
pathy for Cuba in such a presence. If
such fair flowers are natives there, no
wonder it is called the lovliest land the
sun shines on.-Nee0 Orleans Plea

PULASKI, July Is, 1S69.-Shumaker,
of whom it was reported several days
ago, as having been caught with col
ored damsel in his chamber, and was
taken out, together with his dulcinea by
disguised mob and both badly flogged,
was Confederate soldier, served during
the war with the 1st Tennessee regi-
ment so that there could not have been
anything like political persecution in this
case from the Rebel element. The man
denies having been whipped, and if it
was done at ali, it was by some mis-
chievous boys, and does not meet the sp-
proval of the citizens, who prefer that
such offenses should be dealt out by the
law.
John Ii. Mackey, Sheriff of Lawrence
county, announces himselfas candidate
for Senate from this district on the Sens

is regarded as man of ordinary talent
and as honest in his profession. He

war in some inferior capacity.
E. W. Rose, Esq, is prominently men,
toned as a suitable person to represent
this county IN the house and will probas
bly, run for the place. He is good man,
the people having confidence in his
honesty and integrity, and can take the
oath of office as he has at all times been
loyal to the government.
Reed is q candidate on the Stokes

is also Clark, negro of this place.

form so loudly proclaimed by them a
short time ago and now oppose it. OF
their reason for this course, l am not ad-
Vised, nor do know whether they have
changed over from Senter to Stokes or
not.
Dickey, the recently appointed Reg
istrar Of this comfy, has opened an office

willingness to register every man who

tained one from house by the roadside,
but it was 80 blunt that We could do
nothing with il. We worked and Gtrove
to liberate the unfortunate gentleman who
sat therewound in limb watching the ap-
proach Of the angry flames. Nearer and
nearer they came until his hair began to
crisp and burn, and his skin to crack, then
when we, in like manDer, found the heat
unbesrable, we reluctantly retired, COM
pellsd to leave this poor gentleman with
his eight llowsufferers to their terrible
fate. We moved off until all was over.
Nine persons we're thus burned 10
death, and nine others injured more
or less severely. Another passenger
