Among the numerous anecdotes
narrated by the late Peter Cartwright
concerning his experience as a minister
of the Gospel in the West, is the fol-
lowing:
"A curious epidemic was then pre-
valent among Methodists called the
jerks, and resembling the st. Vitus
dance. While listening to q stirring
sermon, people would be seized with a
convulsiYe jerking all over. Finely
dressed ladies and gentlemen were
seized in this way, and found it impos-
sible to resist, says Cartwright.
AT one OF my appointments in 1904,
there were two very finely dressed,
fashionable young ladies, attended by
two brothers with loaded hOrsewhips.
The house was crowded, and the young
ladies took their seats near where ]
stood. | was unwel1, and had a phial
of peppermint in my pocket. Before
I commenced preaching, I took out my
phial and swallowed a little of the pep
permint. The congregation was mel
ted into tears, and both the young ladies
took the jerks.
"A MAJ warned me, as / dismissed
the Assembly, that the brothers had

the laugh on him, and | escaped {

The jerks appear to have proved fata
in some instances, and Cartwright tells
of q drunken rowdy who was seized
with them, and swOre he would drlnl
the id jerks to death. His bottlt
came in contact with d sapling and wa

A Tragedy at Clinton, Miss.

Some excitement existed at Clinton,
in this county, on Saturday last. The
facts of the case, as they are reported to
us, are about as follows: +-
A widow lady living neHr that place
"a Mrs. Stewart, formerly named Smith,
some two years ago obtained from an
orphan asylum at NatcheZ, to raise, two
boys about ten or twelve years of age.
Very 0 afterwards one of the boys
disappeared, Mrs. Stewart reporting
that he was ungOvernable, and that she
had sent him back to the asylum. The
other boy remained, but last week ran
away from Mrs. Stewart taking refuge,
first, in Clinton, and subsequently at a
planters house in the country. He had
been severely whipped, and assigned
that as the cause Of his running away !;
hut assured certain gentlemen that the
other boy had been beaten to death by
Mrs. Stewart nearly two years ago., and
buried, and that if the gentlemen would
accompany him he would show them
where he was buried. Several citizens
accompanied the boy, and sure enough
he carried them to Il spot where the re-
mains of the supposed body IA found.
Mrs. Stewart was promptly arrested.
She explained the matter by saying that
the living boy killed the buried boy,
and that She hid the transaction toavoid
trouble and expense. We gather the
facts as here recited from a gentleman
who came to Raymond from Clinton, on
Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of
procuring the services of a lawyer for
Mrs. Stewart, to conduct her case in the
examining court.
Since the above was written, we learn
that the child reported as killed was q
girl, and not a boy, as stated above. We
also learn that Mrs. Stewart was brought
before an examining court at Clinton on
Saturday night, was represented by s.
NJ. Shelton, Esq, as counsel, that she
waived an examination, and was ordered
to give bond i'll the sum of $1,000 for her
! appearance at the next term of the Cir
cult Court. She had nOt made Il bond
at Ourlatcst advices.-[Raymond (Miss.)

AN ANEcDoTE WITH A PoNT.-The
New Haven Comm Register says:
"Mr. j. G. Adams has advocated the
principles enunciated at Cincicinnati,
but now proposes, for some reason,
to take such a course as will
~perpetuate FOR four years more the
present calamitous administration.
Well, there is no law against a man
turning his back upon himself, even
though the man should be a member of
that family of Adamses,'
Which reminds us of a story. Not
long before the death of the elder
Adams, he paid a visit to the old Cradle
of Liberty, Faneui1 Hall, for the pur-
pose OF inspecting q picture of Wash
ington, then recently painted by Stuart.
After gazing upon the portrait for some
minutes in silence, he said: "Ah, gen.
tlemen, Washington was q wise MAJ
a very wise man he knew when to
talk and when to be dumb but that
did fool tapping with his cane a
marble bust of himself never could
keep his mouth shut -
This family trait is evidently perpet-
1ated in the fourth generation, and has
just killed q very promising Young
man of the Adams tribe.-ESt, Louis
Republican,

A Hlgh-Toned White Girl e,opes
with q MeUTo.

lion Of the worlds society living IN thus county,
and In the imnsetiiate vicinity Of Dublin, has
been shaken to its foundation, and the vibra ion
has not yet ceased. The cause of this remarka
bic condition Of things in the elolement Of Miss
Mary Everett, q I-emher Of the oldest and most
respectfully families in the couRty, with Frank
Thompson, ,one Of the most -sha ell negroes in
the county.
The blow y very painful one to the family
and relatives. and everything possible is being
done " save the infatuated girl from a life of
misery and degradation. Detectives are on their
tracx, and they will be hunted 10 the death. =
Frank Thompson, who has induced the Young
lady to share his fortunes, IL biinky eyed
round-shouldered negro, with a purely Africa
cOuntenance.
He has been worksng on the Everett farm iur
about three yeans, and has conducted himself
generally speaking, in manner inconsonance
with the position N hired man. No one ever en-.
tertained thought, or even Il shadow Of s,lspi,
ion, thst there existed between the negro amt
the girl any ssste Of feeling calculated to lead 10
the present unfortunate slate OF affairs.
The Everett family is Connected by marriage
with some Of our prominent citizens, and the
modification il keeniy felt. Miss Mary Ever
est-h young Lady Of about nineteen years Of
w. Wsu sthouko moi pronounced handsome,
was endowed with certain qualities peculiar To
her sex that endexred her in the hearts Of all
who knew her.
How sue ever became infatuated with, or was
brought about to leave home, friends and nv
clety, for the Thompson, is one of those mex
plicabe circumstances that have bothered the
Wlsest heads since the world began. The father
Of the girl died last year, and the property has
just been divided, Miss Marya share amounting
to % or 90 acres Of good land, which, il in tie
market would bring very good price.
The runaways last Friday made application
10 Judge Pugh, o: tue Probate court, for
license TO marry, but it was refused. Since
that time their whereabouts is unknown. The
unfortunate girl was the only unmarried daugh-
ter, and the step she has taken has cast upon
her people disgrace OF the mos, painful char
