it is confidently hoped that the lost viii
soon be restored to their families. When
found they will doubtless report that the
weeds are nuisance, and should be abated.
The great question now, however, Is, to
ind the aforesaid Aldermanic committee.
The FLYING HoRsEs.-The Tying horses
on the corner Of Liberty and Lafayette
streets are in full operation, to the great
amusement Of the young folks generally.
It is but just to say that the accident last
week was not the fault Of the horses or the
manager. It il an innocent, healthful
amusement, and as free from danger as any
other muscle developing exercise.

and Lowell II. Rousseau representing the
Southern Combination Directory Company
OF Louisville, KY, are In the city. Their en-
terprise is, briefly, to get up Jackson city
Directory including complete history OF
all It's public Institutions, and a complete
registry OF all male citizens over eighteen
years Of age. The benefits that will flow

ALL o. K.-Anthony BledsOe, the Cord
Baptist Preacher, who was reported MUIR
dered few days ago at or near Miffiin, has
turned up all right. Yesterday we saw him
at the polls his '1vory shining and the
whole persoReIIe happy as big sun1ower,
and he seemed as jubilant in depositing
his ballot, as he could have possibly been
in snatehing a"sinner as a brand from eter-
nal burning.n The story Of his death was
a colossal falsehoOd, invented to deceive
his eolered brethren, and 20 exasperate
them against the whites. 1t was despiea-
BILE piece Of petty party malignity, SINH
lar to the ku-klux lies which have alike
flooded and disguised the country. Il has
recoiled on its inventors. Lett not be re-
peated again.
ALMOST Fatal AccIpESr.-On We'd
nesday last, party ofladies from this city,
riding In 3 spring wagon, enroute for big
meeting, that had been in progress several
days four miles north Of this city, were
thrown from the wagon, one OF them seri-
ously injured. They were going mp bill
when the horse made sudden jump for
ward, throwing them backwards out OF the
wagon. Mrs. Rush, a widow lady who lives
IN East jackson. rOil on Der head, and at
this writing is considered quite dangerous.
We did not learn the names Of the other
ladies.
DARKEY's PIG MAKES TRoUBLE.-On
Thursday in the 18th Dist, couple Of
white men fell out about a Negroes pig, and
tore each others clothes and pulled each 9th
erS hair In smost lively manner. One Of them
had fed the pig for some time and wanted
pay for it, the other, with whom the Negro
worked thought he asked too muvh, and
hence the fuss. The clothes and hair wasted
In the fight amounted to mere than the
pig.
ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-Aboui
70 o'clock on thursday night, the splendid
residence OF AR. J. l. Lancaster, on South
Church street, caught fire and burned tC
the ground. The Gre originated in a large
chicken coop near the kitchen, and wa
communicated to that building which join
the mansion, before the arrival of the frt
department. When the firemen reached
the spot, the entire building was beyond
their power to save, and hence all tina
could be done was TO remove the furniture
: which they did with the assistance OF tn
! citizens and OF the colered men present
, whether the work Of an incendiary or tn
: result ofan accident,we are not able 70 Judge
