after the legislature meets. The votes

small, but manifest errors, and giving
Governor English the scattering votes
which were undoubtedly meant for him,
is tie between him and Gov Jewell, and
one ballot, containing just the word

Of destructive break in the Mississippi

A private letter from Master Willie

The soda lake recently located at Inde-

in circumference, and it is estimated
shst at least 10000 tons of soda can be
gathesad from it annually at a cost of
TWO dollars per ton, or less, the freight
TO the railroad being estimated at twelve
SoKars per ton. The lake is Teplenished
from springs which seem to rise trcI

kind Of granite containing soda telspar.
The location was aRde for surface de

other alkaline substances. The iaee IS
sixty-fve miles distant from Rawlings,

tier for demoiselles than their more ad-
vanced sisters, but even this is prefera-
BILE to the artificial arrangements of the
last ten years. A decided taste for blue

mOpslFhtiRg How Mr.. FaIandig-

From the Cincinnati Gazette.l
A messenger arrived in great haste at
Hamilton yesterday about one o'clock,
for medical and surgical assistance,
stating that Q German farm laborer,
whose name orr reporter could not as
certain, had shot himself in the side with
a pistol, and that he was in dying con
dition. He said the accident occurred
at the residence of Watt Carr, about
three miles east Of Hamilton; that Mr..
Carr was doing some harvesting, and
the hands at noon were sitting on the
porch at their leisure just after dinner.
The man who shot himself had a pistol
belonging to some one, and was flourish
ing it around in a careless manner, when
one Of the boys remarked 10 him to be
careful OF he would shoot himself. He
replied by saying that he would show
them how Nsllandigham shot himself,
and Immediately proceeded TO illustrate
the manner in which the pistol was held,
with the hammer raised and half out Of
ais pocket. In an instant the weapon
was disehalgel, the contents lodging in
the bowals Of the careless demonstration.
He fell as one dead. His companions
nioked him up and carried him into the
hoass. the crimson tide flowing in tor
rents from ths wound; A courier was
Immediately dispatched e Hamilton,
who obtained Drs. McNeely and Beau

tnnale man.
