NJ, Valentines Day.

February came simpering in, blushing a ce-
lestial rosy red, and bending under the weight
of a million valentines, which she tantalizingly
reserved until to-day. when she will eestatically
inundate the postotiiee and make a million
hearts throb pit-a-pat two million of eyes
glow and sparkle like incarnatc diamonds, and
four million hands clap their velvet palms to-
gether, in all the rapture oflovo's young dream.
The day is sacred to st. Valentine, of course,
as everybody knows, and it was an old idea, al
luded TO by the Band of Avon, that on this day
the birds chose their mates, and hence non
feathered bipeds adopted it rs an suspicious day
on which TO send their gushing illusions, in
which the words ''heart'' and dart occur so
often, with the former in pairs priced by the
latter, supposed to have been shot from Cupid :

Last Friday morning, Mr.. w. r. Elam
of this place, took his two little
boys in a buggy and drove out towards
the old College lot. A few yards before
he reached the railroad, in front of Mrs.
Frierson's, he found that his horse was
afraid of a railroad engine which was
behind Mr.. Martins fence. The On
CINE continued to give forth great vol-
umes Of smoke, and certain indications
of an approaching whistle. The horse
was very nervous in his movements,
and became so capricious and uncertain
in bis movements, that Mr.. Elam. who
was very lame and afflicted from his old
Gettysburgh leg, got ont OF the buggy,
and after much trouble, succeeded In
turning the horse and buggy around.
Jus. as he dad SO, the engine gave forth
an uueartbly scream, and the horse
jumped about twenty feet, throwing Mr..
Elan down and jerking the reins out OF
his hands. Away be fed, down the hill,
through the mud-hols, with the two
helpless children in the buggy. The az.
opy of the fathers heart as he beheld
his little children, borne, as he thought
to certain destruction, oan better be I'M
agined than described. As the horse an
cended the small hill between Mr.. Geo
Martins and Mr.. H. w. Sanders, Mr.
ELAN saw the horse suddenly jeIked te
the ground, BY some unseen influence
The father forgot his suffering leg, and
in moaaent be was by the side OF The
horse, The reins whUss lad been wrunE
out OF his hands, had caught IN one o
the buggy hubs, and tho revolutions o
the vehicle drew the horses head *
suddenly around IS to throw him down
thanks to the great strength Of Kuhn q
TTccrnin's reins. Mr.. Elan, who is de
yout Methodist, believes 1t was the wOrh
of special providence, in answer to thu
| involuntary prayer of his heart.

Criminal Court.


The Criminal Court have had hard
time this week in getting jury for the
Riddle case. Frank Riddle, it will be
remembered, is accused of The murder
of Friedman, several years ago, and was
sentenced to be hung, but appealed to the
Supreme Court, and got new trial. II
is case in which almost every man,
woman and child in the county is more
or less familiar, and hence the difficulty
of getting a competent jury. The Sher-
iff and his deputies haveswept the east
ern portion OF the county-the farthest
removed from the scene of the murder
in search of twelve men who had not
expressed an opinion on the subject,
and hundreds of people were brought to
town. The people got scared and hid
out in briar patches, ETC., and many run
oyer into Marshall county. One OF
those secured says he never was in Co
lumbia before, although he is twenty
two or three years old. Among them
are old grey headed men, whom our old
est citizens, who ought to know every
body in the county, do not recognize.
AS the Sheriff brought the prisoner, who
is great burly young fellow, from the
Jail the other day, his poor old mother
hung to his arm, and shed such bitter
tears as only a grisf-stricken mother
can shed. Most of the men empanell-
ed had expressed an opinion, and some
of them, when asked by the Court if
they had, replied, "Yes,-I think he
ought to be hung" The jury were
sworn and the witnesses put under the
rule yesterday evening. Tho e4amina>
ton will commence this morning. The
case will probably consume ten days.

Duck River Valley Railroad.

The 7th OF December is destined TO be
an Important day in the future history
of Columbia. Or that day the people
of Columbia will decide whether our
town is to commence an era of prosperi-
ty and rapid growth, or commence to
60 to decay, like Tuscumbia, Ala. If we
decide to vote the fifty thousand dollars
to aid the building of the Duck River
Valley Railroad. it is impossible to name
the multitude of blessing that will flow
in upon us, and continue to fiow as long
as time shall last. There is no confiic-
ton of interest between the richest and
poorest citizen of our town. While the
poorest citizen, will reap his reward in
plenty of remunerstive labor, the rich-
est will be repaid by increase in value OF
his property and the increasing wealth
OF the town. And all, poor and rich,
will have higher and nobler reward in
the consciousness of having aided in
placing the town upon the high road to
prosperity, increased population and
great wealth. On the other hand, If our
town refuses to vote the $4,000, the road
will probably not be BULL, the place
will be retarded in it's growth, every bu-
siness in 1t will languish, and 1t will be
one of the hardest places for poor man
to live in, or rich man to make money
