Whimsical Will.

Wade Bolton, who was shot in
Memphis few days since, a vic
tim to an old family feud, left a
singular will, in which he not on
ly distributed a large amount of
property, but gave severe lashing
to certain relatives who had fallen
under his displeasure. He gave
$4,000 to Stonewall Jackson's
family. The following two claus
es occur in his will:
give and bequeth my niece,
Josephine Bolton, now the wife
of the notorious DR.. Sam. Dickens,
(the Judas of the family five dol
lars, one-sixth of what Judas lsca-
riot got for betraying his Lord.
Poor 10. her cup of iniquity will
be full after a while-if she ever
gets time to stop her mad career,
trying to swindIe her sister, and
her memory will let her mind re-
feet upon her childhood days
when she sat under the shade
trees of her father and mother,
and saw the streaming tears and
heard the bitter sobs of her de-
parted mother betraying In the
ears Of her Father that at some
distant day old Tom Dickins
would swindle them and their
children out Of all they had and
bring them to need and want; the
prophecy is fulfilled-in 1868 and
her daughter 10. is lending a help
ing hand. Fidelity is the noblest
trait of human beings and should
be rewarded, therefore l hereby
give and bequeath to my loyal
slaves now called freedmen that
has remained with me during the
war and has remained on my
plantation ever since in my en-
ploy or working or labor on other
farms to all those that continue
faithful in this way-up to my
death. ] instruct my executor to
pay the heads of families of all
such three hundred dollars. land
to single ones one hundred dollars
such that has no families. To Ma
ry Ann ] give five hundred dollars.

Five Acres Of Ground
sunk to a Depth Of
Eighty Feet.

The town of Stockport, near
Hudson, New York, was the scene
of considerable excitement last
week, on account of a gigantic
land slide. The place where the
phenomenon occurred is located. ON
the old post road, near the confu-
ence of the Undertook and Claw
crack creeks, about five milesnorth
of the city. 1t comprises neatly
five acres, and was on an elevation
above a dry ravine. A Hill inter-
venes between this ravine and the
creek on the east and north Of a lit
tie less than the altitude o; that
which caved in. The crash took
place about $50 last Monday after
noon. The movement was very
gradual, and the surface d the
earth nEdduiated like the wasesof
the ocean. No noise was beard
until the moving mass struck the
base of the intervening hill, when
there was a dull, rumbling ansa-
ton, like q slight shock of earth
quake. The earth caved in to a
distance of eighty feet, an6 the
surface, as indicated by trees, moved
a distance of six hundred feet
So gradual was the movement
that it occupied about half an lour,
and the sight is described by hose
who witnessed it as sublime 10 the
extreme. Among the most marked
incidents of the phenomenon j. the
fact that an oak tree, by the road
side was moved, with a section of
the fence, to the bottom of theIrav-
inc, q distance of six hundred feet,
and the tree and fence now stand
as firm and upright as ever. The
weaker trees, such as pine and
hemlock, were snapped like pipe
stems, and some trees of this ma
ture, two feet and more in diane
ter are doubled and twisted like a
wisp of straw. The ground is clay,
founded on quicksand, with soil
surface of not more than two feet
in thickness. 1t is understood
that the quicksand has been grad
ualy washed away from beneath
and passed off into the stream.
The copious streams of last spring
left the surface, a mere shell, ana
the dry weather which followed
caused this shell to crack and e.
nally fall into the vacuum be-
low. A creyice of several inches
in width, fifty feet in length, and
deep beyon soundings, has APP
peared Oh the land adjoining the
sunken portion on the south, and
fears are entertained that this tract |
will soon fall.

Robert s, Woodland, ESQ.


We notice in our Nashville ex-
changes quite a number Of an
nouncements for State officers cleo
tive by, the next Legislature. In
this fight we claim g representa-
tive for old Lincoln, and present
the name of our old friend and
townsman, ROBERT S. WooDARD,
for the Office of State Treasurer.
1t is unnecessary to speak OF
"Bob" Woodland to our home folks.
We all know him, and have had
opportunities to become acquaint-
ed with his aptitude for business
and fine business capacity. He
was our Circuit Court Clerk for
many years, and is still in the Of
fee as Deputy Clerk. We have
heard our lawyers speak of him as
one of the best clerks that ever
held such an office.
Another point in the character
OF Mr. Woodland is that he is nei-
Their ''gas" nor 'tgab,' but all that
be has is real substantial merit.
he does not know how TO neglect
his duties, but whenever work is
to be done, that must be attended
to, and then enjoy leisure if there
is time. We very much doubt if
such a man as r. S. Woodland has
been in Office one-third of the time
since the Office of Treasurer of the
State was created.
We would say further that no
man from Lincoln county has held
State Office for about thirty
years, and as aohite men are getting
back into Office again, we would
suggest that no better selection
could be made for Treasurer than
"Bob" Woodland.

worms and twists about like an eel
on a gridiron. The straDgest part
Of his hallueinatien is, that he wants
Pendleton, Hendricks, Seymour,
Brooks, Doolitile, English, Blair and
glorious Franklin Pierce, to give up
q name as dear to them as their lives
aud honor, 10 please few fastidious
gentlemen, who after witnessing
eight years Of Radical rule, declare
that the name Of Democrat stinks
in their nostIils.
Before the war the Banner was .
Wing organ, then a Knou-NothiDg
concern, and finally, in its utter alb
horrence Of its enemy, because an
Opposition organ. We would like
for the gentlemen TO tell what they
will giveup when they propose to form
a LIBERAL party. As an old Wing,
your party was dead ten or fifteen
years before the war. Sam fizzled
out in The first Fehcountre with the
Man OF Iron from Greene. The
IOppOs ton patty was never foTmida-
bic in lis numbers. Hntfor the war, We
would all have been lorced into the
Democratic ranks. We were old
line Wings, Knor-Nothings and
4 OppositiOneTs and fof every and all
things aDtagonistic 10 the old DEM
cratic party. Bot since the war has
closed and we look around and see
bat one organized party throughout
The government opposed to the iDfa.
nous rule Of Radicali$m, we are in.h hon.
or bound TO join in The Ifnks of that
party. The Democratic hosts led
by Pendleten, Doolittlt, Hendricks
and Hancock are the OILY friends We
have had in the Government, and,
come veal or woa, we cast our LOT
With them. We do mol for one mo-
ment doubt that il when the var had
closed our old D. motralio friends
bad been placed in our position,
and the Wing party instead of the
Democratic party wts battling a.
) gains: Radicalism, they would join
, their ancient rivals with alacrity.
They are men of honor, Of pat.
riotism, and high moral character,
and we don't propose to be eternally
, insulting them, by telling them that
their party name stinks and do it al
just to catch few cerpet-baggerl
: and scalawags and negroes, who fcl
, four years have been grinding us t.
powder. We see no other party tc
join. The men at the North Wit
have battied SO nobly for Us through
gloom and disaster, are good enough
associates fox us, and with them We
intend to lock shields an6 hearts
and battle until Radicalism is driver
from the shores Of America.
! Sop your tomfooleIy and cling
to your friends. Keep your little
: cOekle-bo boat near the shore or The
people will capsize it.

A Short Catechism not
usually taught in Sab
bath Schools.

Question.--Can you tell me
where l can buy the cheapest
goods for CASH.
Anst0er.--By all means 60 to
Murray & Morgan.
Q.-Why to Murray & Morgan,
when there are 80 many others in
town.
A.--Because they buy for cash,
sell for cash, consequently they
make no debts, which enables
them to sell cheaper than those
who sell on a credit.
Q.-These are good reasons fol
selling cheap, but have you nc
other reason?
A.-Yes, they are aware that
quick sales and small profits are
better than slow sales and wal
profits.
Q-Do not all merchants say
they sell cheap goods, and might
not fall into the hands of the Phi.
listines?
A.-vY6u might, but as Murray
& Morgan purchase dry goods, &C.,
from the most extensive importers
and jobbers in New York, boots
and shoes direct from manufactu.
rers, and the only merchants in
the county that do purchase from
manufacturers, myself and neigh.
bors get the best bargains at their
house is why / speak SO positively.
Q.-Wen, sir, you have an.
swered my questions SO reasona-
bly, that ] viii take your advice
and give them a trial. Ho! for
MURRAY & MORGAN.

A German woman, just from the
old country, with her husband
and family, had a child born at
Baltimore, while on their way to
Wisconsin. AS neither she nor the
child was in good health, and as
the doctor said the latter could not
live, it was decided, after consulta-
ton at Jefferson, WIS, between
him and the parents, the best plan
would be to administer poison, and
put the little sufferer out of the
way at once. The physician adj
ministered the dose, and in few
minutes the child was dead

A Batter Story.

In 1888, a family by the name
of Van Sickler moved into the
town of Towanda, Pa, and took
up as a residence place formerly
occupied as a hotel. On the prem
Uses was a deep well, originally
dug by, or for, Mr.. Means, the ho-
tel-keeper. At the time of build
ing or stoning up the we'll, a stone
shelf was inserted by order Of the
landlord about ten feet down fol
the purpose of depositing in eool
place butter, beef, and such other ar
ticles as might be considered neces-
sary toits preservation Thenew-
corners on the place-the Van
Sicklers-- soon detected, or thought
they did, the presence of decaying
wood in the water, and it was de-
cided to have the welleleaned out.
Accordingly two Old patriots were
detailed for that service. Their
combined efforts, after a few hours
labor, resulted in fishing up a but
ter firkin tightly sealed but black
with age, and It's old slaves near
ly rotten through. Mr.. Means,
the old landlord, long since retired
from business, and then residing
a short distance from the place,
was sent for and came down,
white-haired and venerable, bear
ing on his cane, After looking at
it a moment, the old man said he
could explain the whole matter
The tub had been let down on the
stone shelf long years ago when
he kept the hotel. As near as be
could remember, it was over thir-
ty years previously. The tub had
disappeared in the night, and it
was supposed that it had been
stolen. The well had never been
cleaned out before to his knowl-
edge. The tub was now opened
in the presence of the little crowd
that had gathered. The lid was
removed, the white linen cloth
taken up, and there was the but
ter, yellow as gold, and, as il
proved on tasting, sweet as if
made but yesterday, although thir.
ty-one years had elapsed since il
first went to the bottom. of the
well n lhere it was now found, like
Truth, unimpaired by its long resi-.
dence. The old man claimed the
prize and carried it off rejoicing
Witnesses are still living who
were present at the time, who viii
with our information, make affida
Wit to the truth, in every particu
lar, of this true butter story. In
those days butter was only worth
from six to twelve cents per pound
now see the difference-sixty
to eighty cents, and not the best
at that.

Frightened to Death.

A woman named Mrs. Grifard
living in the northern part Of Marion
county, lowe, died Saturday from
the effects Of fright at the eclipse
She had no knowledge of its sp.
pearance and was alone at the time
it came on, with the exception of a
child four weeks old. Terrified at
fbe sight, she seized her child and
fled to neighbours mile distant.
When she reached there her reason
was gone. A doctor near by was
called Who pronounced her incurable,
She fingered until Saturday, when

Mr.. Observer
SIR---Havfng been rowed up
this classic stream on the villain
Gus Steamer Lou Price there be-
ing no prospect of my returning ;
and thinking that my friends are
uneasy about my absence, / have
concluded to write to you, think
ing that you would perhaps pub
lish this letter, so that they could
by that means, hear from me-
We have learned who is the prin-
cipal in the scheme to force us out
of civilization. He has proven
himself most deadly and un-
compromising foe. Not satisfied
with our downfall, he continues to
taunt us with his advertisements,
circulars, military orders, &c. He
lives In your town; his name
is T. ]. Gray, N. w. corner of the
Square, and his assistants Charles
Waddle and w. L. Hatcher. He
buys goods SO often and sells them
for such short profits, If he has
not run my friends out of your
county, let them hear from me.
Hoping that you, and Mrs. OBJ
server and the little Observers are
all well, | ana respectfully,
BIG PROFITS.
