We clip from the Knoxville Press and
Herald of last Sunday the following
items:
We regret to chronicle the sad fate of
one of Rogersville's loveliest daughters,
who lost her life on Friday evening, by
being thrown from the horse which she
was riding. The young lady, Miss Mollie
Netherland,> was out riding in company
with young gentleman, and when about
two miles from RogersviIle, her horse
took fright and threw the fair rider off
The injuries were found to be mortal,
and the unconscious lady was conveyed
to the residence of Dir. Merriman, near
by, where, though everything that love
and skill could suggest was done for the
relief of the sufferer, vet it was unayail-
ing, and she died ut 10 o'clock, the same
night.
The deceased was the youngest daugh-
ter OF Col. John Netherland, and about
eighteen years of age. Beautiful, accom-.
plIshed, and of a winning sweetness of
disposition, she was the idol of her pa
rents and loved by large circle of rela~
tives and friends. Rev. Mr.. Bachman, of
this city, was telegraphed for, and left
yesterday to attend the funeral which
will take place tO~day.
A colored man by the name of Joseph
Larue, the ferryman at Prate's ferry,
three miles below Concord, was bitten by
a mad dog about the middle of July last.
The wound was a slight one, made on the
end of the forefnger of his right hand
| Symptoms Of hydrOphobia were develop
ed last Tuesday morning while he was
| lying down at the spring gettinga drink.
He says he felt keen sharp pain in the
bitten finger which rapidly spread over
he entire body, produc ing slight conYul.
tons. From that time he gradually grew
worse and worse till Friday at 2 clock,
when death, in an awful form, put an
end to his suiferiRgs During his par
oxysims, he exhibited unusual muscular
strength, breaking the strong ropes with
| which he had to be tied, fvaming at the
mouth, swapping and making various
demonstrations too horrible 90 be looked
upon or to be described During the in
terval between the paroxysms he was
perfect sensible, talked about dying, cam
toned all to be ready and asked to be
tied so that he might not hurt any one,
that he knew he would not live long, &c.

Memphis and knoxville Rail Road

The Chaacery Court at Bolivar has
lately appointed s. A. Carrel, G. T.
Hughes, j. Jungblut, J NJ SoweH. Com,
missioners to solicit subscriptions ofstock
for the purpose of building the above road
through Lawrence county, payable at
such times and in such sums as the di~
rectOrs may require. II. p. Nicely, the
President, has written to these gentle
men, urging them to prompt action.
This road, if built, will pass through the
very heart of our county, affording US di>
rect connection with bo'h the western
and eastern markets But enough has
already been said concerning its many
advantages. 1t only remains to be seen
whether or n OF the people of Lawrence
have been In earnest in all that has been
said and done about railroads or whether
their promises have been made under the
belief that they would not have to be
complied with.
Fer the first time since the location Of
the Tennessee and Alabama road, the
question Of Twill we have Railroad or
not has been fairly put to this people,
and it may be that it is for the last time
IN the next century To come What do
we intend TO answer if we make no effort,
"HHS eASUse nave we reAuy al manu- TOT
as sure as we live posterity will demand
one We cannot belive that the people of
Lawrence, with all the facilities for road
building which they possess, will sit idly
down while their more enterprising
neighbors pierce the mountains, and
span the rivers with an iron wall that
shuts US out from the world of commerce
as efectually as did the walls of China
keep out the barbarons horde of the
North. Do not leave this work to the
Commissioners alone-it is a work for
every man, and one in which every man
should feel an rest.-LocreRcs

death of Hon Garrett Davis at
Paris KY, on the 22d inst.

A dispatch from arts, by. announces
the death Of the Hon. Garrett Davis,
United States Senator from Kentucky.
The sad event took place at the home of
deceased, at 6:3O A. NJ, Sunday, Septem>
Der ODD. That great man has fallen
none will deny, and Kent ucky is called
upon again to mourn the loss Of repre-
sentative citizen--a man full of years and
hOnors, beloved and respected by ali.
AIr. Davis was in his sevensy-second
year, but his weight of years had not in
the least impaired his intellect, which
was vigorous and unclouded to the last.
For some time past Mr. Davis has
been in failing health, his fFis 7ds, hOw~
ever, were hopeful that his life would be
spared for some years to come, but his
disease, gaHgrenOus affection of the lungs,
baf1ed the skill of his physicians, and
the great Kentucky Senator now rests
from his labors. Mr. Davis was in many
regards type of the best statesmen the
country has produced, and Kentucky and
the nation have sustained serious loss
in his death.-LouisUill Ledger

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose.

Last Tuesday evening locomotive and
tender with q keen-eyed engineer and
resOlute fireman, passed Bolivar follow
ing close the mail train North. No one
hereabouts knew what was up, but the
Water Valley Courier OF last Saturday
lets the eat out Of the bag in the follow
ing manner:
On Wednesday morning of this week,
the quiet people along the line of our
Miss. Central Railroad, were no little
startled by an extra train passing down
the road in advance of the regular train,
going at a perfect break~neck speed. A
proceeding so unusual not only attracted
attention, but put the Curious agog to
know what it meant. This is the expla-
nation. Gen. Warmoth and Lieut.. Gov.
Pinchbaek, both of Louisiana, had left
the State for some purpose, both being
North Of this Pinchback, it seems, hav-
ing learned that WarlDoth wac absent
and being DESTROYS to accomplish some
deviltry and get some measures fixed up
while the regular Governor vas absent,
he turns back with theview Of getting the
reins of the State Government in his
hands. So Pinchbaok passed down on
Tuesday on the Mail train.
Gov. Warmoth, getting wind of the
LIEUT. Governors movements, so he too
put back, but he wonld be twelve hours
behind, which would give the other all
tbe time he wished In power, to accom-
plish his purpose. a number of tele-
grams were received by our railroad
authorities here, on Tuesday, to have an
extra train ready at Humboldt, to carry
WRrmoth through to New Orleans with
the greatest possible speed. The dis
patches read at any cost and at any haz-
Zard. So this WIS the train with Gov.
Warmoth aboard, that fairly flew over
the Central road. The distance from
Humboldt to Water Valley, l3S miles
was made by Engineer Steve Ledbetter
in something over three hours. From
this place, Lewis Marble, with the engine
4. NJ. West, took the train to Canton, ] Il
miles, in three hours fifteen minutes.
The race however ended at Canton, as
a ruse had been played of on Pinchback
by sOue parties who were in the interest
of Warmoth, WHICH succeeded in stop
ping the former at that place. The story
goes, that when the train on which Pinch
back was travelling arrived at Canton
some one entsFad the car and Informed
him that there WRs 2 telegram in the Of
fee, Of great Importance to him, Tlt
unsuspecting Pinchbaek rushed into th,
Office, when TIL door vas immediately
shut behind hiE and the key turned from
the outside. just then the whistle bleV
and the train moved OF, leaving the Lieut.
Governor locked up in the telegraph Of
&sR. After a while the Governors train
came laundering in, when the state Of tn
case vac made known to him, and the twl
Louisiana Governors stood face to face
And so ended The race for power" ant

Think of This.

We call the attention of our readers
to the following remarks made BY doS.
Brown in his speech at Gallasin few
days ago:
Tennessee although the ninth State in
population, and not far behind any one
in wealth, is second in ignorance. She
has within fraction of 10000 children
between the ages of 10 and 81, who can
neither read nor write. These are start
ling facts, and must have some solution.
The brIght-eYed boy, who happens to be
the child of poverty ought to be educated
Should his aspirations be stifed because
his father and mother were peor7 Should
his ambition be quenched because the
fell hand of disease deprived him Of the
protecting arm of PARENT And should
his genius be bridled becase his father
fills soldiers grave2
Very many Of these ignorant children
are the orphans of the dead soldiers, and
are now the wards of the State. They
ought TO be educated. IL is not
only a duty, but it is economy in any
government 70 reclaim its people from
ignorance. 1t 6Imishes crime, and saves
vast outlay of money from the criminal
docket and from the prisons Of the coun-

New York dispatches of September
twenty-thir1 says Billy Forr, ster, the
alleged murderer of Benjamin Nathan,
was discharged, the District Attorney
advising discontinuance of thu case, as
he had not sufficient evidence to prove
the guilt of the prisoner. Forester was
then sent to the TOmbs to await requisi-
ton from the Governor Of Illinois, where
ForresteE will be sent to serve thirteen
years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
- Or Saturday last boy twelve years
old, named Clarence ]. Ditto, son of L. G.
Ditto, Esq, of West Point, KY, met with
an accident that caused his death in a
few hours. He had cleaned and loaded a
gun for the purpose Of going out bird
hunting, after which he placed the gun
against the wall, and attempted TO turn
away for some purpose, when it fell to the
floor, the hammer striking first, causing
the contents to be discharged and lodged
in the unfortunate boys back The ac-
cident caused the community mu sh sOr-
row, as the lad was very popular.
