The Orphans' Fair.

The assemblage at th Masonic Hall last
night was one of the rnost brilliant OF the
week, the only drawb Ack being the want OF
room to accommodate the large number OF
ladies' and gentIer nen present. Lovely
Melrose contributed to the general bril-
iancy as well ss to the orphan treasury,
and many other of our most substantial
ladies and gentlemen honored the Fair
with their pres sncG and patronage. Alto
gether, the night vas one OF profit to the
orphans and hearty enjoyment to the mul-
titude of visitors.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.

County, Ala.

A Giles County Young Man Shot by
the Deputy Sheriff of LauderdaIe
County, Ala.
From the Pulaski Citizen, April IS.
On the night of the I'd inst. two valus-
bic horses were taken secretly from
couple of men living near Pleasant Hill,
in this county, one of whom was tenant
on DR.. Waters place, and the other on
that of Mr.. Samuel Cosby. The disap-
pearance of the animals led to search
and it was discovered that they had been
left at the house of Mr.. Williams, who
resides near Lexington, Ala, over the
line, and who held claims against the
owners of the horses. Mr.. Williams,
upon receiving the horses, also obtained
statement as to their ownership. He
Immediately took out an attachment
and had them levied upon by an officer,
who took them to Florence, where
he lodged them in q livery stable
for safe keeping. In a few days after
wards the owners of the horses, accom-
panied by five other men, traced them to
The livery stable at Florence and very
naturally took possession of them with
Oul duJ JCSdA plONSSo eAAN oOoA w AO1
home. Upon arriving at RogersVllle
they we're overtaken by the Deputy Sher-
/ if of Lauderdale county, Alabams, when
an alteration ensued, which resulted IN
pistol shots being exchanged. Young
Smith Edmundson, son of Esquire Jos. S.
Edmundson, who resides near Bethel, in
this county, was shot through the right
arm and side and wound inflicted which
was thought at first to be fatal. He was
left at Rogersville and we are glad to heal
that he is recovering and will soon bt
able to be brought home. Ben Long and
- Hickerson, of the Giles county par
ty, were captured by the sheriff and car
ried to Florence, where they were trieC
and acquitted, and the horses ordered tc
be turned over to them. They have sine
returned home with them.

most consum' nate liar and fool. he de-
sired to brig the matter before the House,
