The old Market House is entirely re-
moved, and the change made by its disap-
pearance is very marked. The citizens
are greatly pleased with the change, al
belt some Of the older ones feel little
twinge at losing an old familiar institu.
ton. One old lady happening to pass
while the workmen were taking it
down, acclaimed loudly against its des-
truction as an act of sacrilege She said
1t had been there SO long, it was a pity
to destroy it. So great is the change
made by the removal Of the Hall and
and the market House, IL is hard
to realize it is the same town. Standing
where this old house stood, sixty-two
years ago, aspectator beheld very nov
ell and wonderful sight. Looking down
what is now East Main street he be-
held what he naturally supposed were
white men and Indians fighting. 1t was
a mock Indian fight. The little settle
ment were continually threatened and
alarmed with reports of hostile Indians
coming, and they concluded to practice
in the art of fighting .'Lo," ere he
should appear. The city having done
its part in the matter, the balance re-
mains with the honorable County Court

SPRING HILLITEMS.

A very unfortunate difficulty occurred
at Spring Hill on Thursday night. WIN.
CARTER stabbed HENRY REAMs through
the left lung, just above the heart, in
flicting very dangerous, if not fatal,
wound. Sometime ago, Mr.. CARTER
was boarding with Mr.. REAMs, who kept
a hotel in Spring Hill. Mr.. REAMs final
ly told Mr.. CARTER that he could not
board man who got drunk so often,
and told him to quit. CARTER contin-
ued to go, as usual, however, and
REAMs pu. his trunk outside the door
CARTER took it off, and went somewhere
else to board. He seemed to feel angry
towards REAMs until last Thursday,
when he approached him and offered to
pay a balance on old board account, and
make friends with him. REAMs readily
agreed TO make friends, and would not
take the money, saying, ''let it all go.
and we will be as we were before T"
Late in the evening of he same day,
CARTER went to DRIVE MckIssIcK, and
tried to borrow pistol, and falling to
get one, he proceeded on towards Mr..
REAMs. down the street. DRIVE spoke
in a loud tone to REAMs "Look out for
CARTER-he has an open knife in his
handw Before REAMs could heed the
warning, CARTER sprang forward, and
struck him in the left breast. as before
stated, saying as he did so, Henry, let's
talk over this matter, and be friends"
CARTER ran away that night. and next
day officer EDMoNDs, ORNE MCKIssIcK
and ar. WALLACE started to hunt for
him, and continued on his trail all night,
and Sunday following, without avail,
however.

MAURY COUNTY, Tenn,
Sept. 10th, 1871.
Editors Herald:-In your paper of
the 18th inst, under the head Of "Culle-
Okla Items" it is stated that Rev. Mr..
SEwELL preached at the Christian
Church at Campbell's Station, and your
informant says according to his argu-
ment, imam is not dependent upon
Christ for salvation, but upon some one
to baptize him, that he may be saved"
The statement of your informant does
not consist with Mr.. SEwELL's known
style of preaching in Maury county, and
certainly does him great injustice. Is
your informant so independent that he
can believe the gospel without hearing
it? Is he SO independent that he will
not obey the gospel when opportunity
presents itself? If you will allow Mr..
SEwELL space in your columns to state
his own argument. be will, no doubt,
set himself right before your reeadrs.
