BURYISa A VICTIM OF SMALL-roN.-
A few days ago a young mar employ
ell by one of the railroad companies Of
this State, at their terminus OH the
Hudson, visited q pleasant little vii
lage among the hills, not 30 miles from
Newark, n. j., tho homo ofthe family
Of his wife, and taking with him the
seeds Of the smallpox, was stricken
down with the disease. At once the
father, mother, and family fled the
house, and but for the devotion Of his
wife he would have been left alone, as
not 4 soul could be persuaded to go
near him save the village doctor. He
speedily died, and the doctor was Oh
liged to lay out the corpse himself. No
Inducements could prevail on people
to bury him, however, till at length
two men were found, who, in the
night, removed the body to the grave
yard and placed 1t In the grave. Be-
fore completely filling 1t up they d.
vested themselves Of their clothes and
shiyeringly threw them In the grave
and a little dirt over them. Then re-
firing to another part Of the church,
yard, they donned other clothes and
finished their task.-Lanbgtrile Nv. J.)

I From the Memphis Ledger


From gentleman who witnessed the
scenes already described IN the Ledger,
which occurred IN OSccon during the
past week, we learn additional parlicu-
lars. lie states that on Tuesday last he
reached O.ccola aud found large bands
Of negroes parading the streets, with
drums beating, banners flying aud max
Ing riotOus demonstration. Knowing
some Of the negroes, he went to them
and told them they were doing wrong,
aud that they ought TO di,band and go
home They replied they knew they
were doing wrong, but they didn't care
n d-n: they meant TO take the town
and do n they pleased, The whites
commenced armiug soon after, and the
citizen, then appealed TO the Attorney
General Clayton, to use his efforts 10
quiet the disturbance and dispcrsc the
mob. Captain Clayton said he would
DO all he could. and held parlcy with
Fit2pntrick. the leader, TO induce nim
TO dispense the mob. Fitzpatrick re-
piled that the negroes would disband il
the whites would. Captain Clayton
promised they would do so. The whites
were diSarmcl rs soon as they learned
what Fitzpatrick had said. The ne.
grocs, however. instead of Keeping the
compact. reinforced, and, extending n
linr0round the city, picHctcd every road

next morning Wednesday citizens of
the county, while on their way to town,
were halted and searched for weapons
before being allowed to proceed into
the village. After arriving in O,ccoa,
they reported what had happened to
them, and the whites Immediately began
TO arm to protect the city. Meanwhile
the negroes had formed in solid pha-
lNnX about Il half mile south Of the city,
and Il messenger was sent to them TO
know the cause Of their assembling.
The answer was that they meant to
burn the d--n town.
The deputy Sheriff went ont to them
and read the riot act. but they would
not listen. and threatened TO kill him if
he persisted. A little while after the
whites who had taken u stand half
mile above the town, moved down to
the town ust as the negroes were
marching in from the other side. and
the fight commenced The contest was
sharp and decisive, the negroes being
routed and pursued about thirty miles.
