Not the Men.

Yesterday morning Sheriff Gossett received a
dispatch from Constable John NJ. Smith, OF
tiers had been arrested whom he thought filled
the description of the robbers of Sterlings store
at Ebenezer. He telegraphed to the officer to
hold them until he arrived
He accordingly left on the passenger train,
accompanied by Mr.. Price, for the purpose OF
bracelets" but instead of two dashing looking
villains they found pair of scared looking in
dividuals, whose only crime seemed to have
been impecuniosity, as they were walking when
arrested and bound to Scott county, Virginia.
They were released as soon as the Sheriff and
Mr.. Price saw them, and departed with much
higher appreciation of liberty than they had ever
previously experienced.

Homicide in Auderson County,

From gentleman just from the scene of the
occurrence we learn the following particulars of
a tragic affair that took place in the neighbor-
hood of Robertsville, Anderson county, result
ing in mortally wounding mannamed Sam
Collins by Mr.. Davis:
The two men had a difficulty the day before
at pasture which belonged to Davis and q
6rother-in-law of his by the name of Peake.
They all had stock in the field and it seems that
on account of having either purchased light to
Craze his stock or something of the kind that
Collins had an equal right with the others. At
all events he claimed the right and was de-
termined to exercise it and on Tuesday armed
himself with stones, it is said for the purpose of
resisting Davis, but difficulty was ayerted.
On Wednesday morning Collins went to the
pasture field and commenced letting down the
fence prepafatory to driving his stock in, when
Davis came up and told him he should not mt
his stock in again. He had driven them out
bringing the animals there. He paid no at
tention to Davis warning but went on letting
down the fence, when Davis turned around and
went into his house, which was only short dis
tance of, and came out with double barreled
shotgun which he aimed at Collins and emp
tied both barrels in his body, one load entering
his breast and the other in his bowels.
The wounded man was taken home and was
alive on Wednesday evening, though not ex'
pected to recover He was attended Dy Dr
Henry Sineknecht. But little excitement was
manifested over the tragedy. Collins was con-
sldered rather loose character. DAVIS was
very gentlemanly person, though OF very high
temper when aroused. v

Congressional Canvass in the First District

EDITORS CHRONICLE: I did not know

adjourn his (Circuit) Court, that William

minutes before half past IL o'clock, A. NJ,
and at precisely half past II, he began to
speak his beautiful "piece," which lay
before him, and which he turned page by
page at his leisure. He went on in this
happy way for an hour and half, when,
to the surprise and discontinue of those
of that molly group" present, who had
said and written that Roderick Random
wouldn't come to time" Judge Butler
arose, approached the stand and told Billy
that his time was out.
The Judge in his lucid yet forcible man
ner. spoke for an hour and half, flank
ing Billy on either side and pouring in
such we'll directed volleys of shot and shell
with such telling effect that some of his
warmest friends and supporters could stand
it no longer and got up and left the house:
MANY were sadly disappointed. / talked
with several Democrats whosaid that "Mr.
Carter did not have, documents enough"
The fact is, Billy has simply been over
rated and is not posted. If Judge Butler
didn't completely "slather' him [ never
saw one who was. Mr.. Carter wanted all
Union men "to forgive and forget what
they had done to the rebels during the
war" The discussion lasted for four hours.
There is truly "ground swell'' in Han
cock county, but it comes from the other
side. The Republicans are confident and
united, and will roll up a handsome ma
jority,

tween them.
To-day the electors for this districts
Hon: +. S. Singletary and Hon. L. Nj.

"slouch" at this business. Mr. Jarvis read
as proof" few "garbled' extracts from

The COlOred People,

3 EDITORS CHRONICLE: That our people
may be assured that the "coIored man" in
the coming political canvass is right, 1
would merely say that at a meeting of the
colored men of New Market and vicinity
held on Monday night last, it was unani-
mously resolved: That the colored voters
of Jefferson county appreciate the friend
ship of the Republican party, and we will
in the approaching election cast our votes
solid for the Republican nominee.
The meeting was addressed by Maj. J..
nj. Meek and Col. Whitaker, who ably and
forcibly presented the truth, and appealed
to the colored voters to stand firm, and not
be wavered by the intrigues of the rebel
ConservativeDemoc party.

The report of my speech, in every other
particular, is substantially correct and is
highly creditable to your compositors. a
And desire here to state that nearly all
of my facts and figures come either from
published or unpublished official reports,
or from Democratic sources. In every case
1 have shot rather under than over the
mark. For instance, if had calculated
the interest on the debt of the railroads
sold, down to the day of sale, the discrep-
ancy between what they owed the State
and what they were sold for would have
been still more monstrous. But 1 took the
statement of their debt from the Comp

masked men went to the residence of
Henry Miller (colored,) in Christiana,

shot him dead. His offense was the be-
getting of a child by white woman. A

The Culture of the Hair,

Just as sure as a soil infested with Canadian
thistles can be made to produce fine crops of
golden grain, the scalp now sparsely covered
with harsh, dry, unmanageable hair can be
made prolific of silken tresses. All that is nec-
essary to effect the change in either case is the
right kind of fertilizer Leaving the agricul-
tural chemists to determine how the barren land
shall be made fruitful, we positively assert that
Lyons KathairoD is unequaled as fertilizer
and 6eautifer Of the hair. Twenty-Five years
OF success is the basis of this unqualified state
p1ent During that time it has been used by many
millions of both sexes, and the first instance in
which it has failed to fulfill the expectations of
a rational purchaser has yet to be discovered.
1t will not cause hair to grow on a vanished
gourd; but wherever the roots of the hirsute
fbers remain undisturbed it will cause them to
put forth new shoots, and in all cases where the
hair has become thin it will increase its volume.

The present summer bids fair to be most
peculiar and piien0Ie It, cannot be
claimed TINT science Inns rs; yet unfolded the
lawa which regulate the mysterious eccefl.
trfcities OF climate, or discovered all those
wheels within wheels which, An their Tota-
ton, bring round tho supra.aniltE,l cycles iof
cold md hot years. Enough, however, is
known Of climatology to warrant some dc
ductions and an occasional partial forecast Of
seasons; and, rs the Herald has previously
shown, these deductions have been success
fully made by our best scientists.
Nothing il more clearly and historically
certain than the immense vicssitudcs of tent
pcraturc and attendant phenomena of dry
ness and humidity. In one memorable year
of English history there was scarcely day
from March to August il which there WAS
not rain, and subscriptions were raised for
the haynlakcrs thrown out of employment.
In this country the Mississippi river, which
drains a larger extent of surface than any
other water-course, furnishes q measure OF
our rainfall and vivid illustration of the
annual variation Of our seasons. The most
exact estimates of its average discharge give
us nineteen and 4 half trilIions of cubic feet;
but in 1899, and again in 1855, the discharge
was only eleven trillous, while in the great
Hood years, as 1923, 1914. 1863, and others, it
attained the enormous amount of twenty
seven trillions. It, appears that the phe-
non,cnon Of an ahnormally cold year mani
tests itself in reduced oceanic evaporation.
Tho clouds which bear this evaporation
over tho ,,cartll's solid surface arc well
known To- act as screen, shielding us in
summer from the radiance of The sun, and
III winter tGmpcring the riSor Of the air by
the evolution Of their latent heat, and also
by preventing the earth from radiating its
heat Into spice. In the phenomenal cold
year we have a scarcity of clouds, and con"
scqucntly the seeming paradox ofan intense
ly severe winter and a summer in which the
solar rays strike us with mcrciess and unrc.
strained power. The thcrmomctric data OF
the Royal Observatory Of Scotland, when
fully discussed, led to the prediction of the
past extraordinarily cold winter; and judg-
ing from their data and others which agree
with them, as we'll rs from the reports of de.
ficient rainfall in the West Indies and the
dryncss and intense heat over our whole
country, we have reason to apprchend Il dry
and hot summer. 1t is idle to shut~Our eyes
to the danger OF II protracted and fatally Sc
we're season. Everything prcnonislies it, and
we should spare no pains to prepare for il.
The Herald again repeats The warnings il
has previously given to the authorities and
the public generally to husband the water
supply, and in every way possible to multi.
ply the facilities for obtaining it from subtcr.
rancan sources. ......... .....
