deerhound Of mine, or rather of my fathers
"a prize-winner at Birmingham, with not
being well looked after, got into the habit
Of chasing sheep, and killing them too,
whenever he had an opportunity. He was
sharply corrected and kept chained up for
some days, but when again taken out was
as bad as ever.
Ny father happily remembered how he
had cured large retriever of the same sin
five-and-thirty years before, and we have.
am pleased to say, made perfect cure of
my deerhomd. After one Of his chases he
was taken up to the sheep farm, securely
tied between two old Scotch rams, and then
let loose in the yard. No sooner were they
let loose, than, all three being good jumpers,
they cleared the wall. and the dog was
dragged about the park till all three were
dead tired. The poor fellow was then taken
home, and can assure you "sheep chas-
ing" is now the very last thing of all others
that ne ever thinks of.-London Field.

REPORTED HoMICIDE.-It was reported
on yesterday that young man named Boyd
killed 4 negro in Nelson county on Tues
day, under very aggravated circumstances.
The statemement of tho homicide as it
reaches us, is that Boyd, who resides with
an uncle or brother, went out on the farm
where the negro killed was at work, and
while there found it necessary to complain
of the manner in which the negro did the
work he was engaged in. At this the negro
became enraged, struck Boyd, knocked him
down, and tied him, and then cut bundle
of hickories with which he severely whipped
Boyd. After he was released Boyd returned
to the house, loaded his gun with buckshot,
went back to the field where the negro was,
and shot him, death resulting Immediately.

THE ALLEGED MURDER in GEORGIA.

AUGUSTA, GA, May 22.-Edwin Belchcr
(colored), assessor of the third district, pub
fishes card in the Chronicle i'll reference TO
his letter published in the Washington
Chronicle and New York Tribune detailing
the murder of Stone. one of the expelled
members of the Legislature, and the negro
man who was with Adkins when he was
killed. Bclcher says that he was misin-
formed and, he believes, wifully imposed
upon by certain persons here, as he now
learns upon good authority that stone and
the other person mentioned arc living.
Belchcr states that the letter was private
to Charles Sumner, and regrets its publica-
ton. Special dispatches from Atlanta to
Republican papers North announced the
murder of these two men by the kukluN-
Khan. There is no truth in these statements,
and they arc used to serve the ends of GER
tain parties in the State who arc fearful of
being deprived of their Offices under the
State Government.
