"ROUGHING IT."
A Jocose Book by Mark Twain.

A JScOse Book by Mark Twain.
Those who have read ''Innocents Abroad, .
may have a faint notion of what Mark
Twain could produce in the way ola home
book, based on experiences on the Western
Plains, in the mines of Nevada, and on the
characteristics of the accompanying wild
life in those regions ten or fifteen years ago.
This work is entitled "Roughing It." 1t is
brimful of humor, and is in Twain's best
style, and shows him in bis happiest mood.
1t is irresistibly drOll, and who can read it
without interest and pleasure, should betake
himself to solitude and cynieism. 1t has
also information of a substantial character,
for which Mark delicately apologies thus:
81 regret this very much; but really it could
not be helped; information appears to
stew out of me naturally, like the
precious otter Of roses out of otter. Some
Zines it has seemed to me that l would
give worlds II could retain my facts; but it
cannot be. The more calk up tEe sour
ces, and the tighter get, the more leak
wisdom" And thereupon he pleads for
indulgence, not justification. There is
nothing so good as health and good humor,
during the hot months, as this lively speei-
men of 'Roughing It." a
As it is a book sold only by subscription,
we may add that the agent for the State,
Mr.. John ]. Osborn, is now at room 50,
Maxwell House. He would like to have
three or four agents, ladies or gentlemen,
for the work, and can be seen any evening
for week at and after 4 O'Clock.

TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE FBOM
THE CLARRsVILLE JAIL.
The JaIIer knocked Down.

Last Sunday morning a negro waiter en-
tered one of the cells Of the Montgomery
county jail, GAINESVILLE, for the purpose of
taking provisions to the prisoners. Having
to undo two doors before getting in, the
prisoners jerked the inside door off the
hinges, the noise Of which brought the
jailer to the door. By this time the prison
ers with the unhinged door bursted the
outer door of, which, striking the jsiler,
Charlie Morrison, fOOred him, allowing two
colored prisoners 10 make their way cut.
Arising to his feet, Mr.. Morrison knocked
a third prisoner down and prevented bis
escape. The negroes after getting out ran
up Water street to the railroad bridge, on
which they crossed to the opposite side Of
the river, and escaped. One of them, who
was in Jail awaiting his new trial for as
saulting with intent to kill Mr.. Jesse Aliens
worth, was overtaken aud remanded. The
other one is still at large. -.-

THE IosrINE MURDER TRIAL.
The Jury Return q Verdict Of Not
GuiIGYs CO


GuiItys
The tlial Of Peter Jostine for the alleged
murder of Mrs. Hamblin last fall, which has
been in progress week at Franklin, VIII
hanson county, on change Of venue from
this county, was terminated yesterday, the
Jury at halfpast 8 o'clock returning YER
dict of ''not guilty" This case has created
a great deal Of attention, more especially be-
cause Of the atrocious murder fer which the
defendant was arraigned, and of which he
has been honorably acquitted. The
facts of the murder having been
previously published, it is unnecessary to
present them again. Jostine, who is poor
German, unable TO speak the English Ian
guage, has been in prison since last fall.
The case lasted over week, during which
time every circumstance connected with the
horrible deed has been fully investigated by
an impartial court, ably argued and eluei-
dated by the counsel aud pa
tently considered by the jury,
to whom the case was given with a
clear and just charge by bis Honor,
Jones, at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
the verdict of "not guilty" being returned
yesterday morning as above stated. After
she verdict was announced and JOstine
been informed of his acquittal, Gen. James
M. Quarles al lTessing the court said: May
it please your Honor, 4 am requested by
my client through Mr.. Rhum, one OF the
counsel, who can converse with him, to re-
turn thanks to your Honor for the able,
impartial and dignifed manner in which
you have presided over the cause, to the
jury for the calm, intelligent and dispassion-
ate manner in which they have considered
his case, to the jailor for his uniform cour-
tesy and humane treatment during his i'm
prisonment, and to the community for the
unexcited attention they had paid the case.
now move, your Honor, to discharge the
prisoner"
The prisoner being discharged from furth-
er custody was Congratulated by the eouL-
sci, jury, and populace generally, and al OF
whom agree in the belief that Jostine's ae-
quittal was but just, especially so from the
nature of the evidence which points out
parties other than the accused, being the
guilty ones. Several citizens went so far
IS to offer Jostine money, which he prompt
ly refused, saying in broken English that he
could work. One gentleman made him
take his offer by laying it in his lap, stat
ing that he had been wrongly accused Of
crime of which he had no knowledge.
The case was well handled by
the attorneys, Attorney General FrizzeD.
Randall, Ewing, VIM. NJ. House, 5. 5.
House, of Franklin, and ex-Gov. II. S.
Foote, of this city, appearing in behalf of
the prosecution, while for the defendant
were Messrs. Bullock and John B. Nc
Even, of Franklin, John Ruhm, John Law
renee, of this city, and Gen. Quarles, OF
ClarksviIle. The speeches were most pow
erful, one causing the jury and others to
weep. Gen. Qaarles closed the case for
the prisoner and Gov. FOote for the State.
Jostine arrived in the city yesterday after
noon and was met at the Decatur depot by
a number of German friends who congratu-
lated him and escorted him up town.

EFysterfOus Murder.

On Tuesday last near Linden, Perry
county, cnlored man, lifeless and riddled
with bullets, was found in field, and the
mysterious murder has oceasioned no little
excitement in that neighbOrhood. Upon
examination Of the body Of the deceased,
it was found that he had been shot five
times, the balls penetrating his breast and
side. The perpetrator Of the atrocious
crime is not positively known, but suspi,
cion rests on a Federal soldier living near
that place. Sometime since two Federal
soldiers had law suit, and the deceased
was one of the principal witnesses, and it is
generally believed that his testimony on the
occasion so embittered one of the party that
he sought revenge in the manner above in

A Fight Between a Catfish and a Moe
casfn snake.


The Savannah Republican tells the fol-
lowing as vouched for by gentleman of
that city who recently had occasion TO visit
the marsh on the other side Of the river.
While over there, standing on the marsh
near pool Of water, he noticed tina, some
thing was going on in it thai one is
not accustomed to see every day, and
on investigating the splatter that was
being made in the water found that a
very large moccIsin and goOd-sized cat
fish were having a terrible fight. The oc-
currrence was highly interesting to him,
and he got as near as possible to see what
would be the end Of it. The combatants
were fearfully in earnest and terribly ener-
getic in their efforts to annihilate each other.
The catfish would make daring passes at
the snake, always using his fms to strike
his antagonist with, and the snake, on the
other hand, would have to be equally
energetic in keeping clear Of the points
of the catfsh's fms. The moccasin would
throw himself into striking positions, and
strike very fast, ia order TO be equal with
the frantic surges of the catfish. At last,
the catfish in making pass at the snake,
struck his sharp fin somewhere in tender
part of the snakes belly, and the mOccasin
in turn cIinched the catfish in the back part
of the neck. In this position both antagOn-
lists clung to each other until they were
dead-the poison in both seeming equal.
The fight lasted about twenty minutes, in
Guiding the last elinch Of the contestants.
