Strange as It may seem, he was fortunate

AnoTHER PEsT-We hear many COM

length. It's mission Is to crawl around
over the vines and cut the punches Of
grapes thereirom, letting them fall to the
ground. In some instances It cuts the
grape from tho bunch, leaving the stem
attached 10 the main vine. 1t Is doing

the mountains lew miles from town,
near tic KingwoOd road. We learn that

We learn from our McC urdysVille cor
respondent that Dir. Frank Wilson was
knocked of his horse, after night, about
eight weeks ago, in McOurdysvIIle, and
robbed Of $15 In money. The matter has
been kept secret thus far, hoping that
some clue might lead TO the detection Of
the robber, but We believe, nothing has
yet been heard Of him. ."nn..0

place, killed a rattlesnske three feet eight
inches in length. He dispatched the rep

Guaemsn's mill. Tho monster contained

farm, owns a SOW thatrecently gave birth
to sixteen pigs-all doing well.
STABBrNG AFFRAY.-Sundsy Afternoon
last William Carroll had an alteration
with Omer Evans while out riding in the
country, which was, however, supposed
to have been amicabIy settled after they
arrived in town; but between nine and
ten O'Clock Of the same evening, az they
were talking over the matter dispassiou.
stely, Mr.. J, y, DeriDg, who had been
with the party, and who, it seems, sided
with Carroll in the difficulty, came up
suddenly upon them as they were con-
versiDg near FinneIls Hotel, and stabbed
Evans In the abdomen, near the right
side, with a, large pocket-kniIe, Evans
bled pr6fusely, and was carried TO DR..
Mackey's Office, where the wound was
dressed, and he was then conveyed 10
Mrs. L. A. Dorsey's, where he now iV.
Dering made his escape. We learn that
Evans wound is not considered danger
GUS, and that no will soon be able to so
about again.
