MURDER.-From passengers arriving
in this city last evening, we leard that
a white man named Griffin was killed
at his place of business at Whitaker's s
Turn Out, on the Wilmington and Vel
don Railroad, yesterday morning. 1t
would seem that. n party of four ne
groes, acting under authority Of awar-
rantissuedby another negro, who claim
ed to be a magistrate, attempted to ar
rest Mr.. Griffin, who, refusing to ac-
knowledge the validity of the warrant,
was shot dead by them in his own store.
The negroes then took to the woods,
and, at last accounts, had not been
arrested.-Wilmington Journal.

himself to say;
''a aWhen one deals with Germans one

Hunius, German by BIRTH, quietly re-
piled, "If your Highness means that

youto withdrawit as it is both offensive
and unjust 70 this the Prince made
answer by elapping the Coloqel's face:
So gross an insult could neither be
avenged upon the heir to the throne,

Colonel, after stating the facts to the
Emperor, sat down and wrote the Grand
Duke:

me mortal insult. When you read

and having written this, he deliberate

The Davenport Gowa) Democrat tells
Of a singular case Of superstition:
Chatting with an aged lady, wenoticed
the wonderful preservation and beauty
of her teeth, and could not refrain from
mentioning it. YES said.she, 'Inever
had a toothache or lost tooth, because
I bit the snake Oninquiry, shestated
that when children at home, her father
had made them bite rattlesnakey he
holding the reptile by the head and
tail; each child bit along the entire
length of the backbone, not violently,
but just so as to indent the skin; and
this was considered an infallible recipe
against toothache and decay, and which
the old lady believes up 10 the present
hour"

That Railroad.

The PUinesriue Telegraph of May q
says:
Thursday morning last Mr.. Jones, an
English engineer, came to gainesville
and held a conference with q number OF
our prominent citizens respecting the
construction of a railroad from Fairport
and gainesville to the coal fields of Trum-
bull Judges Hitchcock, Paige and
Wilcox, and Messrs. Kitteridge, Tinker,
Perkins, Young, Steel and Stockwell
were present. Nj. Jones was then Ia
ken TO Richmond, and also TO Concord
to view the stone bridges on the P. and
I'll. road. He seemed very favorably
impressed with the harbor, and with
what had been accomplished by the P,
and 81. road. He left here with the un-
Outstanding that some of our citizens
viii pass over the proposed route from
Chardon to Hubbard the first of this
week, and meet him again at some point
in that vicinity.
We are not without strong hopes that
this is but the beginning of what is soon
to result in de Jdcto railroad from the
mouth Of Grand River to the coal beds
of Trumbun, and to the great iron works
in and beyond that region. With proper
connections at that end of the road.
there can be no doubt that the road will
have all the freight, both ways, it can
possibly carry. 1t will carry down ore
and bring back coal and iron.
