aged 22 who was shot and instantly killed
in the riot, was engaged to be married in a
few weeks to an estimable young woman
named Ida r. johnson, and II was while
returning from her house, after extending
an invitation to go to Brooklyn, that he
met his untimely end. After leaving her
residence he walked to Eighth Avenue,
having some business TO attend to, prom
ising TO return. in short time. Miss
johnson seems to have had presenment
of danger, ahd earnestly-entreated Petit
to remainyat her house during the even

business caused her to give way Twen-
ty minutes had scarcely elapsed when a
messenger ran to her house with the sad
news that young Petit had been shot
through the heart and was lying dead on
the avenue. fT
The fatal news was so sudden that she
sank insensible, and recovered ouly to be
raving maniac. Yesterday morning
she had partially recovered, but at short
intervals cries in plying and frantic
manner for himsNho is deaf to all earthly
sounds A few days ago the young man
received a letter from his mother. signify
ing her intention to visit New York to
witness his marriage. On; "Wednesday
night the sad intelligence was telegraphed
to her, and she is expected to arrive in the
city this morning.

NV FIRST. NewSDapcr.

The following is the experience of q
mechanic, concerning the benefits of

Twenty years l lived in the town of

night-for am carpenter by trade-I
saw little girl leave my door, My wife
then met ME at the door with smile,
which is encouraging to tired mechanic,
after hard days labor. She said Mrs.
Il had sent her little girl after their news

only been married six months, aud of
course had no children. My wife said to
me, calling me by my gwen name. Il wish
you would subscribe for the newspaper,
for it is SO much comfort to me when you
are away from home.' My answer was ::

said, if you will take the paper, | will sew

time to my house. While resting one
noon and looking over it, L saw an advertise
ment of the county commissioners to let a
bridge that was to be built l put in a
bid for the building of the bridge, and
got the job, on which cleared $500, which
enabled me to pay for my house and lot
easily, and also for the newspaper. If
l had not subscribed for the newspaper l
would have known nothing of the bridge
contract, and could not have met my pay
ment on my house and lot. A mechanic
never losses anything by taking his coun-

Dr. Frankiin'S Toast.

DIR. Franklin once dined with the En-
glish and French Ambassadors, when the
following toasts were drank:
The British ambassador said: CEN
gland-the sun whose bright beams en-
tighten and fertilize the remotest corners
of the earth.''
The French ambassador, glowing with
national pride, but too polite to dispute
the previous toast, drank +: ''France-the
moon whose mild, steady and cheering
rays are the delight of all nations, consol-
ing them in darkness, and making their
dreariness beautiful.
DR.. franklin then arose, and, with his
usual digniied simplicity, said: George
Washington-the Joshua who commanded
the sun and moon to stand still, and they
obeyed."

East Tennessee Still Ahead.

As one evidence among many that our
East Tennessee young ladies are hard to
get ahead of, we print the following
extract from a notice of the commence

take the Medals at home, and young
ladies abroad, as well as at home:
After the bcstowal of the Diplomas
by President Arbogast upon fourteen
young ladies, DR.. Wiley awarded the
Gold Medal This was "a very interesting
item not in the published programme
The Medal, valued at $40, was the gift of
DR.. Thos. E. Brown, for the best of-hand
composition. The manner of test was as
follows, and confined to the Senior Glass,
ten Of whom were contestants. They
were all called INTO one room with pen,
ink and paper, the subject given them by
DIR. Cunningham, with one hour to write.
When finished, each composition, with a
fictitious signature, was put into an enve-
Iope and sealed, and then all sealed up in
one large envelope. Each young lady
was then required to write her name on
slip Of paper and seal it up man envelope,
and sign her fictitious name on the out.
side. These were then given to com
mittee of three gentlemen to examine and
decide upon. This they did without of
course knowing the authors, but awarded
the Medal by the fictitious name. not even
the committee knowing the name of the
successful contestant until the envelope
with the fictitious name on it correspond
