uur aer i'm Anderson County.

We learned yesterday the particulars Of q
shocking murder which occurred few days
ago at Scarborough, in Anderson county.
1t seems that two women, Mrs. Dennaway
Mrs Scarborough, had some misunderstanding
and in the height of passion came TO blows. In
the course of the struggle which ensued, a
son of Mrs. s., seing that his mother was about
20 be overcome interfered and knocked Mrs.
Dennaway down with his fist. The husband Of
Mrs d. then in turn struck the youth = violent
blow upon the head with club breaking his
skull, from the effect of which he died within
the space of an hour.
Mr. Dennaway has been arrested. He exc
presses deep regret at the decd and says he only
intended knocking the boy down.

cy, for we learn that Mr. ]. Il. johnson, sales
man at the Knoxville Rolling MILL enjoyed
such a luxury on Christmas morning
Last August, not believing that such a thing
was possible, he offered Mr.. IL. N. McLain, OF
Market Place, five dollars for good ripe water
melon, to be delivered on Christmas day. He
thought little more about it but McLain, uh-
Outstanding the 'art preventative" quietly roll
ed twenty-pounder into his bed room, where
there was always an even temperature, and there
it lay until Christmas morning, when it was de-
liyered per agreement, as sound rs on the day il
was pulled, and johnson was compelled to fork
over
Mr.. McI4ain informs us that his father has
frequently preserved melons in this manner and
that it is quite n simple matter.

Our young friend Mr. w. i. Hall, whose de-
parture for Montana was noticed in the CHRoN-
icLE some weeks ago, we are glad to learn, has
met streak of luck as the common saying
goes. Immediately upon his arrival atVirginia
City he received the appointment of clerk to the
District Court of Gallatin county. He has,
while preparing to assume the duties Of said
Office since been chosen clerk of the Judiciary
Committee of the Territorial Senate with ex-
ceedingly liberal wages In the last case he was
elected over five or six competitors. la-..
The people of Montana do not seem TO have
that silly prejudice against carpet baggers,"
so called, that characterizes the people of some

his success. If we thought all our young men
could do so well, we would, like the great Hor-

Colonel Baxter nj sgaryyiIIe.

The people of Blount county turned out in
force on Tuesday to hear Colonel Baxter venti-
late the swindlng operations of the Nashville
papers and some of their confederates in East
Tennessee. He took up their books, gave fig
,ures and showed how in many ways they have
defrauded the taxpayers out of their money.
The papers referred to may buy up or influence
the Legislature to whtewash them and pass
laws in their special interest, but they cannot
hoodwink the people. Their rascality is well
known in East Tennessee.
