each about eighteen years, one dressed in a
blue suit, and the other in brown, and both
mounted on splendid horses, were seen pass

noon OH their way home after spending a
few hours in the city. When they reached
Twelfth street some animated conversation
sprang UP between them, and theJ suddenly
gathered up the rcins of their stceds and
vigorously applied the whip. The horses
sprang forward and went flying down the
street, bearing tlcir brave riders as if upon
the wings of the wind. Meantime the fair
maidens leaned forward in jockey style,
and Hourished the lash from side to side
with might and main, n policeman ran

Radical Riots in Georgetown.

The Georgetown Times describes dis
graceful riot in that town. On Friday
night, somc scoundrcl tried to set fire to the
place with a turpcntinc barrel, but failed.
On Saturday 4 tar barrel was fired near
George Hollands house. This was put out
without the aid Of the fire companies,
which were promptly on the ground. They
were dismissed by. the chief of the fire
department. and ordered by him to their
quarters. The Heston Company did not
obey the orders Of the chief but went about
the town, stopping where liquor could be
had, and imbbing vcryyfreely. The result
was that night was made h;dcous by the
drunken screams of an intoxicated mob,
Whose FOUL obscehe and riball language
would have disgraced the ncighborhood Of

Of fire was raised almost simultaneously in a
dozen different parts Of the town, and Que
Of its members was found rushing to the
market to ring the alarm bell. We leave
the public to conjecture who were the guilty
parties who set fire to the schoolhouse OF
Mrs. Small, which was the building on fire,
The alarm called together the Heston, the
Star and the Salamandcr Hook and Ladder
Companies. 1t seems that there is some bad
blood between the first named companies,
and the scene presented at one o'clock on
Snnday morning last at the place Of fire
would Seem to justify. the belief that there
was not only bad blood batween:tho COM

HORRIBLE TRAGDY.-On Friday evening
last horrible murder took place on Beaver
Creek, Fayette county Penn, about five
miles north.of the western line of this coun-
ty. The murder grew out of an old feud
that existed between the parties for num-
Der of years On the evening in question,
Alpheus Glover, farmer aged about forty
years, went with his daughter, q young
woman of eighteen, and n son about six
years old, to look at COW that had calvcd
in the road near the farm of Mr. Stoub,
adjoining his own. Some hogs owned by
Mr.. Stoub, were worrying the COW, and to
drive them off, Mr.. Glover hisscd small
dog that accompanied him upon them.
Just then Jacob Staub and his son, a young
boy of sixteen or cigtcen years, came up,
the father armed with a revolver and the
latter carrying a rife As they approached
they pointed their weapons at Glover, who
told them to 90 away; that he did not want
any trouble with them. The elder Staub
replied, "I'll shoot your hart out" At
this Glovers daughter stepped between the
muzzlcs of the weapons and her father.
She was roughly told by Staub "You get
out of the way" The girl, in her fright,
obeycd the command, when the little boy,
seeing the great danger in which
his father stood, clung to his knees, crying
pltcously the while. But the appeals of the
children did not save the fathers life, for
Staub and his son fired together, and Glover
fell (his little boy was still clasping his lcgs,)
exclaiming, MY GOD, Jake, what have
you done to me-" and expired almost in
simultaneously. Saubsand his then fled to
their home. Saub and his son were arrest
ed and placed injail at Uniontown Jacob
Staub, the murderer, is native of this coun-
ty. Glover, the murdered man, was a
native of Fayettc county.

FEAST DAYS IN PERU Not less than
100000 people in Peru, it is estimated, OBJ
serve asmany as fifty feast days annually
Fifty times 100000 are 25,Q0O,00O. This
then is the number Of Gays actually subtract
cd from tho labor value of the country in
one year in this way. If each one of these
days represented but the value of single
real in labor, the loss in the aggregate in one
year alone, to the material wealth of tAc
country, amounts to the largo sum of 25OO,-
400 solcs. But when we consider that tho
above computation tells but onc-half the sto-
ry-that probably moro than three times that
number Of days are wasted upon unpeco:sa,

while dozen of old cold.hcartcd follows

Singular Variety Of Cotton.

DR.. #, i. Anderson, of Wilkes county,
Geo., has developed, by cultivation and care.
Ml selection Of seed, variety of cotton
which is certainly a curiosity. and may
prove very valuable variety. The cotton
is peculiar on account of its'cxcessive fruit
fulncss and the manner in which the bolls
arc developed. AS described by the Wash
ington Gazette, in growth and appearance,
the weed has the resemblance of the prolific
varieties, growing up in conical form,
though We think the growth is more vigo-
rous than these varieties. The squares and
blossoms grow in clusters, and very thick.
\ very large proportion of the bolls. are
what we would call double for tho want of
a better word that is, two bolls arc produced
from tho same square. The tendency to
doubling rs exhibited throughout the plant
and stalk, and the limbs Of many specimens
seem to take on the same characteristic,
there being groove on each side, present
ing somewhat the appearance of a double
barrcled gun. The crowding of the bolls
does not seem to diminish their size, but
they are generally very large and healthy in
appearance. Upon one stalk in his field DIR.
4. exhibits one stalk with fifteen young
bolls so closely clustered as to be covered
with single open hand. He has ia ken
great pains during the past two or three
years to preserve the seed pure and unmixed
with other varieties. He has now several
acres planted in this cotton, and We wish
that his experiment may be of value to him
self and the cotton interests of the country.
