Meets q Tartar.

j. P. Hutchison, the City Marshal Of
Edgefeld, was yesterday on the lookout for
some one, who had on the night previous,
broken open the tool chest of Stiner q An
drews, and stolen therefrom nearly all their
tools. H succeeded in coming upon a
saw which lad been sold to young man
for fifty cents, and from him obtained a
pretty accurate description of the man who
sold it. Late yesterday evening the Mar
shal met in North Edgefeld man who an
swered to the description, whose name is
Orville Belts. He simply accCsted him,
when Belts drew large knife, and in a
threatening attitude, defied him to ap-
proach nearer. Mr.. Hutchison immediate
" drew his pistol and compelled him to
throw the knife down, when he took him
into custody, obtained a warrant, and COM
mitted him to jail. The accuse will have
hearing before Esq. Wallace, in Edgefisld,
this morHing.

TRICKS OFraE WINE TRADE.

II is the generally received opinion that
all wines bearing the brands of or purport-
inc to b. California wines are pure, and
many who would as 500 dri0k poison as
foreign wines bibulate on what they sup
pose 10 be the most pure juice of the Cal
ifornia grape with the most perfect satisfac
ton. such persons are now unieceived
by the q ape Growers Association Of S.
noma. Napa nd Sclano counties, the Pres
ident Ofwhicb, at recent meeting, made a
statement of the manner in which certain
impositisns were practiced. He stated that
wheo really good wine was held oy dealer,
instead of being sold as California wine, II
had been constant practice to labelit with
a foreign name to which it bore the strong
est resemblance, Sauterne, HOchheimsr,
c; while the poorer qualities were sold
under the generic term Of "C2lifornia
eines." It was likewise stated that this
was ha7ilg most da naging effect upon
the market value of California wines
abroad and in the Eastern markets.
There were agents in the larger cities for
California houses who were reliable, and
the most respec able dealers generally kept
the pure wines, but the larger part Of what
was known as California vintage and sold
under that name in the Thousand aud one h.
responsible places over the country was OF
an inferior quality or adulterated. This
will be news to the multitude, who viii be
constrained to believe henceforth thai
wine-makers are no more TO be trusted
than other people.

Grand Drunk en- Row in the Virginia
side of Bristol

Bristol lies both in Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, that part of The town in the latter
State being known as Goodson, among
whose citizens is F. n. Myers, whose house
a few DAYS ago was the scene Of lively
affray,i in which Councilman N. Owen was
wounded with a knife in the hip, and
another party had his skull crushed. F. NJ.
Meyers, bis son, w. II. Meyers and wife,
and also the old gentlemans wife, engaged
IN grand family row caused by whisky
An off ,er named Wheeler being sent for by
Mrs Meyers, Jr, quickly rushed to the
scene of battle, which caused the elder Mey-
ers to cease further waTlke demonstrations.
Young Myers, however, refusing to be ar
rested, and threatening with violence his
father if he returned to the yard, avised
Wheeler not to trouble him. Wheeler went
off and securing a pistol, returned,
wneTeupon the parties assaulted him
with knives and cut his clothes
in several places. A counci =
man, named J. NJ. Owen, tried to induce
the assailants from further attempts at vi0-
lenca, whereupon F. NJ. Myers turned his
deathly blade upon the would-be peace
maker, whom he wounded in the hip.
Wheeler fired at w Ii. Myers, the bullet
grazing his head, and after swapping all Of
the pistol caps, felled the elder Myers sense
less to the ground, striking him with a
stone above the right eye and fracturing bis
skull.
During the engagement, w. II. Myers
knocked his mother down with rock
which he threw at some other party. +.
NJ. Myers was bAiied, and W. II. Myers
jailed We would advise Virginia Bristol
| to take pattern after Tennessee Bristol,
which can be properly called its "better
| half"

Death Of HowelI webb, Esq.

In Yesterdays issue of the UNION AND
AMERICAN, we cnronicled the illness from
a sudden attack of congestion of the brain
of Howell Webb, Esq From the time he
was taken until the hour of his death, there
were no favorajl symptoms, but on the con-
trary, he continued to sink by degrees, and
his attending physicians became satisfied
that there was no hope Of resuscitation.
He fingered until half past nine O'Clock
last night, when his spirit took its
fight. His demise, so unexpected few
DAYS ago, brings sorrow not only to his
family, who were unprepared for the sad
bereavement, but is alike a severe shock to
his many friends and associates who little
expected the irrepsrsble separation from
one so highly esteemed. Mr.. Webb was
one of our most prominent young MEM
bers of the bar, and a gentleman Of fine
literary complshments. In the very
spring-tfme of life full of promise, he
has been cut down, aud his myriads of
virtues, uunoticsd in life, come trooping
out in memory's sky like stars when our
sun goes down, leaving us in night. The
remains of the deceased were taken to his
fathers retidence, in Edgefeld, last night,
and his funeral will take place on Sunday.
We are requested to state that there viii
be meeting of the members of the bar this
morning, at 10 O'Clock, in the Criminal
Court room, to pay tribute of respect to
his memory. .-.-

The Heated Term.

Without even so much as q moderate
change of a few degrees for the better, the
thermometer unflnchingly adheres to the
nineties, and the public goes about in an
exhausted and suffering condition. UNI
brellas, fans, parasols--anything 10 the
world that will tend to alleviate the terrible
effects of the sun, are brought into requiSi-
ton. With these heat-defying articles but
lutte is accomplished; old Sol still smiles
with GLOWING triumph over the ruin he is
constantly making, and possessors of the
aforesaid articles are abandoning the field
in despair. The Thermometer marks 90 deg
almost every night at II O'Clock, and nearly
a hundred degrees almost every day at II
Nothing now remains to DC done but to

Late yesterday evening a laborer was
found on the sidewalk in Union street, evil

rlemen who happened to pass by
where he was lying, com
passionately picked him up and carried
him TO drug store about three blocks dis
tant in most careful manner, where they
anxiously awaited the result. Every
movement of the man was watched; the
druggist bathed his forehead with camphor
water; and the gentlemen rubbed his hands
vigorously to get up circulation. But
look he moves, thank God th3ir efforts are
rev arded; he speaks-hear him, "Gentle

That Patent Cooler.

MIR. EDIToR:-Seeing a paragraph in
your paper yesterday referring to a new ar
rsngement for keeping cool, invented by a
clever Market street book keeper, called
to investigate it. The gentlemanly projac-
tor explained the invention very politely,
and | found that it was not Sctly new,
being simply the old "Draugher" inciple
revived. Though it is certainly not origi-
nal it may be 40 original, as doubtless The
idea in some shape or other has existed for
years. The plan possesses the merit at
least of being cheap, and there is no reason
why it should not come into general use.
A small quantity Of common tape and a
yard or two of good domestic is all the ma

A NAN JUMPS INsO A WILL.
He f. Rescuet, from a IIorrid Death

a few days ago man called Charlie,
from England about year previous, and
employed as a laborer by j. B. Fuller, of
Sumerville, became so anxious to return to
the old country that he attempted to kill
himself, and thereby facilitate his journey
from this his adopSed cline. After saying
farewell to his wife, Charlie went to well,
and Selling held OF bucket which opera
ted with aDotherAon fixed pulley, he gave
one wild scream, and then was hurled by
his own weight q distance of one
hundred and six feet to the
dark surface Of the water, which itself
was fifteen tees in depth. Being shocked
by tire force Of the conclusion upon hitting
the water, the rash man Immediately de
termined to live longer and cried aloud for
help which was forthwith given, but it re-
CURED almost an hours time before Charlie
could be relieved of his unpleasant situa-
ton and drawn up to the light of day and
of life. Since then he has been delirious,
probably resulting from conclusion of the
braun, and at times has been wild aud
almost uncomfortable. His visit to The
well bottom may have beneficial effect
and prevent any other determination OF
SUICIDE being accomplished. ALPS well

in this city makes a practice OF keeping a
file of tie UNION AND AMERICAN, but has
suffered considerable annoyance from cham

piece OF paper upon them beaI ing tie words
DON'T TOUCH" The chambermaids made
their usual visit to his room the next da, ,
aud as they discovered the talsmanic words,
it Immediately occurred to them that they
must have been discovered. Therefore,

night last, waited npon ex-President john
