GREENETILLE ITEMS.


GREENEvILLE, Aug. l., 1871.
The body of Sam. Fox, of whose loss in
the mountains / wrote yesterday, has been
found. 1t seems he rode as far as he could
in search of the cattle, and when the
ground became too rough and steep to ride
farther, he dismOunted and went some
distance down the mountain on foot. His
tracks were seen some distance below the
place his body was found. His hat was on
and the back of his head resting OH sharp
rock; but it is thought he died from snake
bite rather than from fall. His left hand
and arm were fearfully swollen and very
black, and there were two or three slight
wounds on the back of the hand so swol-
len, while the other was perfectly natural
No suspicion remains of foul play, as he
was accompanied out to the mountains by
a brother.
A day or two since young man by the
name of BrittOn was rather seriously hurt
while threshing wheat at the farm of Col.
NJ. l.. Temple, few miles from town.
Mr.. BrittOn, who was running the thresh-
er, was wearing long apron, which was
caught by the tumbling shaft, and he was
instantly drawn down and whirled around
several times, his head striking against
the end of wagon tongue, and intiicting
two serious wounds. DR.. j. ID. McGaughey
was called in, and he dressed the wounds
and prOnOunces his recovery as certain.

SOME of the rural Democratic papers
have been gloating over what they repre-
sented to their readers as Secretary Bout
Wells corruption. They copied with much
abstraction what had been said by some
obscure clerk, who had been discharged on
account of incapacity. But no respectable
Democrat believes one word Of it.

No action of the President has met with
such universal approval from all parties as
the suspension of Gen. Pleasanton as Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. By his
INSTRUMENTATION and incapacity, he made
himself absolutely intolerable as a public
officer.

but never received auy permanent benefit; then she
reSOrted to most every kind of Cough and Lung Bal
that could be procured for her, but all to avail
She still grew worse until she was confined to her bed
and when she was seized with paroxySm of coughing
she would lose the power of respiration and they
compelled to resort to various to restore breath
ing; and while she cOughed hard she could not
pectOrate nything, and the family and friends had
given up all hopes of her recovery Her noticed
the advertisement of Aliens Lung Balsam in the
Christian Advocate and they thought they would pro-
cure and try it. They common ed giving he the Bal
at O'Clock P. NJ, as directed dose every hour
until midnight; then she took another spell of cough
ing, and expectOrated mouth full of dark yellow mat
ter which something she had not been able to do
for time. They continued to give her the Balsam
until morning and then she began expectorate free

An Ingenious Rascal

The following account of an attempt
at highway robbery in Calcutta shows
that the Ingenuity of rasoals is not yet
rxhausted
"On the afternoon Of January 18th
the daily remittance from the custom.
house to the Bank of Bengal at CAL
outta, was carried as usual in q
money chest on u whcclbarrow, drawn
by sumo coolies and accompanied by
ch owkidar Of police and u custom
hunse sircar. When the party had
reached within a short distance Of tho
bsuk, OH the Strand road, dar-
ing feat was attempted. a man,
seemingly an European, with his face
masked, and mounted on powerful
horse, came up to the chest, suddenly
producing from under his clothes a
small piece of bamboo, with hook
attached to one end and knife to
tho other.
"rhc bamboo itsclfAwas attached
to his waist with long piece of rope.
He threw it on the chest, and the
hook catching the iron handle of the
box, he lifted it up by means of the
'ropo and commenced riding along at
= rapid pace. The whole Of the pro.
oecdings, which did not occupy moro
than few seconds, staggered tho
party in charge Of The box, and the
man might have successfully made
away with tho money had it not
baen for its weight, which broke tho
handle Of The box. Tho box fell to
Che ground, and the man rode away
out of sight before any ono attempted
to seize him. Tho box contained
10000 rupees, 1000 rupees being in
silver, apd the rest in checks and
notes. Tho police have not yet sue.
