all the Israelites of this vicinity, for the
discovery.an1 recovery of the body of Mr..
Friedman. After the body was recover
ed and identified, Mr.. Samuels asked tho
crowd to say to whom the reward should
be given. The $50 was claimed and Or
dered to DC given to the bereaved Wild
ow of the murdered man. Too much
praise cannot be given to the noble peo-
pie of Williamsport and the surround
ing country for the untiring zeal with
! which they hunted down and developed
the supposed murderers and the body of
theirinnocent victim. Especial mention
| is made of Esquire Stockard, and judi
son Cant, the colored ferryman. who
furnished canoe and otherwise greatly
assisted the white men. During the
search report was circulated that the
brothers of FIR ank Riddle and De Grit
fin, the alleged ma rderers, were going
to take up the body of Friedman and
burn it. This was doubtless all purely
imaginative. however, as no such thing
was discovered. Some ofthe most prom.
inent citizens of that section, among
whom we may montion Maj. Boiling
Gordon and DR.. J. T. s. Greenfield, took
great interest in the hunt for the dead

our County Onzcers.

A sentence occurred in our last issue
which has been entirely misunderstood
and misconstrued by some of our
readers. A quotation was made from
street talk Of one of our citizens, gen
tleman whose friendship we have great
ly priced, and was printed as it was spo-
ken, in jest. We did not conceive that
there was anybody SO ridiculously alb;
surd as to think that we, or as good a
friend of theirs as is the Doctor, should
insinuate that w. j. WHITTHoRNE, Jr.,
Mai. J. II. AKIN, SINS LArTA and j. G.
McGAw, were "trimmers." If those
gentlemen possess one trait of character
stronger than another and all others, it
is an unflinching devotion to their con-
victions of right, counting the cost as
nothing. We did not even suspect that
there was man in the whole county
who did not knoW what DIR. PILLOW,
whose every breath is as Southern as tie
South wind, thinks of men who fought
in all the great western battles for the
Lost who endured the hardness
oea lie for four long years, and
lost all-some their limbs-all save their
honor. 'f

Makin.a Hen Set.

4 good story is told around town by |
Cbinch Truett and others on one Of our
ex officials, who used TO carry a heavy
stick and a healthy stomach about with
him. He is very fond of chickens and
eggs, and takes great interest in their
propagation. Some time since, SO the
story goes, he started for his house on
Lytle's Creck, with something in his
head besides tho usual amount of ideas.
When he reached home, his wife told him
that the OLD grizzly hen, his great pet,
would not set on her eggs. he said he
would make her set, and went out to rea-
son with her about It. But the old hen
would not set. No sooner wasshe placed
on the eggs than she left. He pulled
out his pistol, and told her If she would
not set he would shoot her. Directly his
wife heard several pistol shots in rapid
succession. Coming into the house, he
said, wife, You can rely on the cid hen
setting on those eggs now" She went
out and come back with Lev's white
hat, perforated with holes. He had
mistaken his hat for his hen.
Something For the Country People
4 few evenings since we were invited
hy Messrs J. o. York d Co., To come and
see their new Panoramic scenery. They
have procured these beautiful Tableaux
for the purpose of travelling over Maury
county and giving the country people a
chance to see,whst is only seen by the in
habitants of large cities. The pictu -es
shown are all good, and most of them ar,
beautiful. The Miltonian Tableaux, thu
grlnucst conception of man, are from th'
paintings of the celebrated French artist
Dore, and those who know anything o
that ar list are well aware that these pic
lures are unique and unlike all others
There is nothing &C instructive and a
the same time charming TO the youthful
mind as views of this kind, the beautiful
pictures are s'ereotyped on their mind
never 10 be efaced.

NV Little Wife.

The following exquisite love story is by poet cee-
hrated in the July number OF Blackwood-Davd
Winoate. collier from his ninth year:
Nv little wife, often round the church HILL
Sweet little, dear little, neat footed Jane
Walked slowly, and lonely, and thoughtful until
The afternoon bell chimed its call Ger the plain;
And nothing seemed sweeter
To me than to meet her,
And tell her what weather twas likely to be,
NY heart the while glowing,
The selfish wish growing,
That all her affections were conferred in me.
Ny little wife once cts strange It's true,
Sweet little, dear little love-troubled Jane,
So deeply absorbed in her day dreaming grew,
The bell chimed and ceased, though she heard not
its strain
And /, walking near her

Who thinks all such wanderings Of sin void and
free),
Strove hard to persuade her
That He who had made her
Had destined her heartIove for one but me-
Ny little wife-well, perhaps this was wrong
Sweet little, dear little, warm hearted Jane,
Sat on the hillside till her shadow grew long,
Nor tired of the preacher that thus could detRn

And proved completely,
That none but poor Andrew her husband could be,
She smiled when | blessed her,
And blushed when | kissed her.
