MURDER.-On Saturday last, in the north
part OF this county, Mr.. James Duly while
/ hoeing in his field, was shot and dangerous
| ly, If not MORALLY wounded by his brother.
/ in-law and cousin Patrick Duffy. The fol.
/ lowing are the facts rs we heard them
James and Patrick Duly were cropping
together on a rented farm, and fell out
| about something connected with their part
nershiP several weeks ago. The bad feel
| ing increased between them, and after a
violent alteration they separated with mu-
tual threats. On Saturday morning last,
while James was hoeing in his field, Patrick,
who was concealed in some bushes near the
fence, rose up at James approach and fired
ON him with shot gun, lodging several
balls in his right arm, and one in his left
breast. Patrick made good his escape, and
it is feared that the ball in James breast
will prove fatal. They were both compar-
alive strangers i'll this county.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOGs.-Owins to
the decision of Esq. Chappell, in the Mask
dog case, many think that the Dog Law
will not be enforced. Such supposition
is all wrong-the law will continue to be
vigorously enforced.

LIKE THE GREEN BAY TREE.-Rosy, the
Prince Of caterers, the jolly blooming dis
penser Of fOaming beer, sparkling wine
and inyigorating spirits, is still at his old
and famous stand, flouishing like the
"green bay tree" If you want the sub
stantials and dClicaCics of this bountiful
season, served up in style that would
charm old Epicurus himself, or the fresh
est and purcst beer and richest wines and
liquors, don't fail TO call on the irrepressi-
bic Rosy.
"Behold! his breakfast shine with reputa-
ton!
His dinners are the wonders Of the nation,
With them he treats both cOmmOner and
quality,
Who praise when e'er they go his hospit-
ality.
SPRINGDALE INSTITUTE.-The closing
Of this llourishing institution will
take place at 10 O'Clock, a. m, of Wednes-
day, aud at "a o'clock, p. m. the Euthalian
Society will give an entertainment. The
published in another place,
guarantees rich ''ieast of reason and flow
of soul" We very much regret our ina
bility to accept a very flatterins invita-
ton to bc present ON the occasion.
TABLEAUX,-Thc tableaux at Tomlin's
Hall on Friday evening, the nth. were very
both in conception and presenta-
ton. Those who managed the details of
displayed superb taste, and
those who participated in the representa- |
lions, acquitted themselves with signal sue
cess. The young ladies especially perform |
cd their parts with charming grace and IL
deity. We learn that the exhibition Melted |
at least $50.
RoBBERRY.-On Wednesday night last, |
Mr.. IL. l.. Biniord's residence, on Lafayette !
and Shannon streets, was entered, and he |
was robbed of $4,000 in currency and some |
valuable papers. On retiring to bed Mr.. |
Binford laid his pants, containing his peck |
ct book, on chair near a window, which |
opened into the back yard, and hence the
thief had an easy thing Of it, entering thrO'
the window and confscating the aforesaid
pants with their valuable contents. There
is no clue whatever to the theft, but I care
ful lookout on the part Of the POLICE and
our tradCsmcn, may lead to his discovery.
GETTING WELL.-Mr. W. j. Rose, whom
We reported last week, as having been
foully murdered, we learn is still living,
with fair prospects of recovery. Our re-
port was based on what we considered to
be reliable information, and was correct
with the exception OF the fatal conse-
qucnces OF his wounds. The negro was ar
rested at BclPs Depot few days after the
attempted murder, and after confessinS his
crime, was committed to Jail in Browns
willie.
IT Will RE DONE We take pleasure in
the ladies that the weeds which
cucumber so many Of our suburban walks,
will soon receive the attention of the street
force. Acting Mayor, Alonzo White, as
sured us that the nuisance complained of
will receive the earliest possible attention.
LOOKOUT FuT KoBBERS.-On Wednes-
day night, la addition to the robbery of
Mr. Biuford, the sleeping apartments of
DIR. james jones aud MIR. Walter BrandoR,
in the Bond block. on Main street, were
and tiur gold watch belonging
to DR.. Jouv~. aud % small sum Of money
stolen. MIR. BrJuduu's watch WAS lying on
a table, but was not discovered by the thief.
During the same nirht the Press and En-
CINE room ut this Office was entered and
silver caScd watch belonging TO Mr.. VIM.
Harris. Freshman, distracted. 1t is evident
that professional burglars are in our midst,
and il bchoovr~ every one TO be on the look
out, and especially should the police be
watchGul and industrious.
