Stabbing Affrays.-A rencountre took
Conner, at Chesapeake City, on Wednes-
day last, growing out of an argument
about the merits of certain kinds Of New
Jersey and Maryland clays, which created
hot blood, followed by Simmons striking
Conner, which the latter resented by using
a knife, cutting Simmons in the breast,
neck and abdomen. This wounds are Sc
we're, but we have not learned whether they
are considered dangerous. Conner had
not been arrested, when we heard from the
scene of conflict.
A fight occurred between Alfred Jervis
and W. T. Stephen, at Fredicktown, OH
Tuesday last, which terminated in the par
ties using their knives, Jervis receiving a
severe wound from his antagonist. The
wounds are not dangerous, we learn.
eB- The following com munication was
intended for last weeks Wing, but was
crowded out:
RISING Sun, July 14th, 1870.
Mr.. EDITOR Some of our citizens think
the structures on this ancient village, in
The Wig of the 9th inst, rather severe,
and that no one interested in its prosperity
would write so disparagingly Of it. Such,
however, is far from being the case, as the
writer has as deep an interest in the wei
fare of said village and its surroundings as
any other man and it was in the hope
that some good might grow out of it, that
such severe language was used, every word
of which is unfortunately too true.
1t is rather humiliating for a citizen of
Rising Sun to be compelled to institute a
comparison between it and neighboring
borough, which is no more cen TIE than
this yet with soil much inferior in quail
ity, and peopl: around it poorer tinan-
cially than our farmers and property-hold-
crs, they have made com paratively rapid
strides towards building up town with
nearly all the, modern appliances, while
we are idly lookin G on and doing nothing
to compete with them. nj oreover, their
improvements are paying both directly and
indirectly, by dividends, and in the increas-
ed value of property all around. Will our
people never be able to see an inch before
their nese? If any man doubt this doleful
view of the case, let him start out with a
subscription for the erection of any public
building, or to establish anything here that
might be Of public benefit, and if his en-
thusiasm is not dampened without the aid
Of evening dew, his experience will be diff
ferent from those who have gone before
him. Now, this is all wrong, and if we
ever expect to establish a reputation for our
village, we must awake from our slumbers:
cast aside all petty jealGGsies and unworthy
suspicious cease the low gossip that tends
to the injury of our neighbor, and all work
together to make our village and peighbor
hood what Nature designed them to be-
the finest and most inviting on the line Of
the Central Road

Missing MaiIs.-On Saturday last, the
entire mail for Pert Deposit was carried
past and did not reach that town till Mon
day. The Wing did not reach WoOdlawn
on that day or the Saturday previous. This
looks like piece of inefficiency or gross
.carelessness on the part of some person or
persons having the management Of the
mails We know that they all leave Elk
ton in time to arrive at their place of des-
tination in proper season. If we hear any
more complaints, we will endeavor to ferret
out the guilty party, and make strong
effort to have him or them dismissed.

Rev. L. c.. Matlack.-The numerous
friends of this gentleman, the former pastor
of the Elkton M. E. Church, will be pleased
to learn that he visited Elkton, on Friday
last. His general appearance is about the
same as when stationed here-the change
of climate seeming not to interfere with
his usual excellent health or serve to
decrease his manly proportions. With the
exception of stopping few days at the
National Camp. at Darlington, he was
direct from Louisiana, and is on mission
North connected with his field of labor.
On Sunday last, at the Camp, he preach
ed an eloquent and powerful sermon in the
Tabernacle. During its entire delivery he
held the large audience spellbound, so
great was his fervid eloquence, and the
effect Of the discourse was plainly visible
at it's close.

An important point in the management Of
Pears is to g1ther them properly. Early Pears
should be gathered ten or twelve days before they
are ripe; Fall Pears two or three weeks. Win
tea Pears may hlng on unrl E begin to fall.
The whole should not be gathered at the same
time. There is difference in the time o. prop
er maturing. A test of the proper time to
pluck the fruit is by letting the Pear rest in the
hand and taising it. If properly advanced the
stem Will easily separate from the limb. To
produce the best of uit, trees should not be per-
mltted to overbear; thin out.

MIR, Samuel Fields, an intelligent old drovcr,
informs me that tho Texans are now so sus
nicious that the disease which has followed 10
the trail of their cattle, is caused by the ticks

States. Mr.. Welch also told me that i: gen
tleman OF Tennessee, BY the name CT johnson,
was at his house last winter, and cautioned him
not to carry Texas cattle to his farm until the
ticks had dropped off. MIR: Beverley brought
eight hundred of these cltt to this neshb)r-
hood in Nov. 1867. They had no ticks upon
them, and no damage attended their advent,
though the COWS OF the Plains were constantly
with them. :,
Evervtbiug has been taken from tn lntectcd
fields about Salem, and they will not be grazed
again unit, the effect of the winters irost Is
tried upon the ticks. We believe that the
danger of further injection in that neighbor
hood is over, and that the butchers need NOS
be afraid to receive their cattle.
Il is proper to state that Mr.. Elding, who
brought the cattle to Salem, is 20; believed by
thc best informed, to have been aware OF the
danger.
As this communication is already long,
will not enterinto disquisition as to the mo,
dus opcraDdi Of the ticks in producing so fatal
disease but simply state that | believe the
large numbers swallowed act like poison, and
that the reason the Texas cattle are not injured
ly them is, that they arc gradually, and have
been from generation 10 generation Injured to

Correspondence of the Alexandra Gazette ]
JACKSON, MISS, August 4.-The quietness
OF jackson was broken in upon yesterday oy
the report that an amalgamation wedding was
to take place-that white State Senator was
10 take unto himself wife OF the darker hue.
Many doubted the correctness OF the report,
whist others were saDguine, having gained
their information from reliable authority. The
particulars, as far as can learn are as follows
\ few days before the close OF the sc: sion of
the LEGISLATURE, Senator a. Il. Morgan made
his appearance in the gallery with Carrie Y.
Highgatc, colored school-mistress upon his
arm. This naturally created great stir among
the Representatives of the progressive party
who occupied seats within the bar. Many
were the remarks made and glances cast.
Several ladies. wives and daughters OF Eepub.
licans, who were in the gallery at the time,
retired in disgust. The Democrats sat quietly
and enjoyed the sight and the CONSERVATION
the reality Of their policy created among the
opposition. Shortly after this occurrence a
Democratic Senator 10 course OF debate refer
red to it. Morgan Immediately arose and in
formed the gentleman that he could not accuse
him of Inconsistency, as be would prove to him
in future. True 10 his promise, he yesterday
appeared in the Clerks Office and procured
Armed with this document, he procured the
services of Rev. j. Aaron Moore, colored Rep.
rtsantatire from Lauderdale county, and pro
cecded to the residence of Mrs Lee, (colored,) J
where Miss Hghgate boarded, where the cere
moDy vas performed at midnight. The hap
by couple then proceeded to tho depot in a
close hack, 10 which they remained until the
train arrived to carry them on their bridal
tour. Everything was done very quictly-the
nuptials being witnessed only by few friends.
The bride is Marylander by birth, ard has
been teaching colored school in this city for
some time. She is the necc of James Lynch,
the colored Secretary Of State, and is what
might be called very handsome quadroon
"copper" COLOR She is we'll educated, and
dresses very fashionably.
The groom is New Yorker by birth, but
now resides in Iazoo City and represents the
Thirteenth District 10 the State Senate. He
is about 50 years of age, and rather good look
ing. He is lawyer by profession.
The blacks arc particularly down on the
match, and say that if Morgan thinks he has
gained the favor of their race by his marriage
he is mistaken.
Morgan is said to have remarked that he ill.,
tended carrying his bride to visit his parents
in Ohio, and If they refused TO receive her as
an equal be would discard them. Thus endeth
one chapter OF amalgamation in Mississippi,
and the hope is that it may be the last.
Since writing the above report has been
circulated that Morgan attempted to gain ad-
mission for himself and vile into the sleeping
car but was refused. w.
