upon Gov. Scott for 400 stands of arms.

We think every one who witnessed the ANA.
tour performance Of "Tbe Lady Of Lyons last
evening at Lincoln hall will agree with us in
the opinion that Mr.. Lloyds conception Of the
character Of CLAUDE Melnotte was most original,
and that his acting was widely different from
that usually presented by actors who assume
that difficult role some cynical people may
object to bis portrayal Of the part, becaise Il
lacked that vim and enthusiasm with which Il Is
generally infused, but II 10 an open question

the true veralon ofthe affair;
For some time past au lllfeellnR had existed
between the parties, Mason Appel and r. II.
Heater, caused by the formers cows trospAsslng
on Heaters farm, which Is located on tho VII.
ginla side Of tho river. Heater had on numer-
Gus occasions driven the cows from his grounds
without doing them any bodily harmi but on ono
occasion they visited his premises and began
destroying bis garden, which 80 irrltatod him
was sustained. On Friday evening, between
and o'clock, Appel proceeded across the river
10 Heaters farm, where he. found Heater en-
gagged In the corn held plowlng. An alteration
Immediately began, which resulted In blows
being freely given and returned, and lasted an
hour or moro, as II Is supposed, from the looks
OF the ground, and they then reSorted TO knives,
which ysapops they used until Appel fell dead
in tho field.
Heater then returned 10 his house badly cut,
where he expired tho next morning. The body
OF Appel remained on the spot whore he fell for
some time after the occurrence, and was visited
| by Drs, Duyall and West, who had the same ro-
moved to his homo.
Tho affair has cast gloom over tho neishbor.
hood as the young men were welLknown and
highly respected.

the hAmes, and by tho timo tho department. ar
rived on the ground had gained considerable
Roadway. The nremen went promptly at work,
and soon had the flames confined 10 the old rags
