ADDR ESS
TO rHE
Medical Profession
OF MISSISSIPPI

The Medical Association of this
State will meet in Vicksburg on
the first Wednesday in April next.
Every city and county in the State
should be represented. The neces-
sity for such a combination of the
profession must be fel. aud acknowl-
edged by all. 1t is due alike to
ourselves, to the people, and to the
profession throughout the whole
country, of which we form a part.
We trust the profession of MisSis-
sippi will not prove recreant to the
best interest of the medical profess
sion. but will come forward, register
their names, and take part in the
proceedings. We refer you to our
last volume of transactions to show
what the association is doing.
We need more members. Will
you come and join us? We promise
you a cordial welcome.
Tho profession is developing a
higher and nObler vitality, which
must eliminate in the greatest
reverence for learning, and it's
practical application will cease to be
the sole desidcrata.
Let us each and all do our share
in the work before us. That per-
sonal experience and that ripe
judgment which we seek and value,
if not recorded, die with their pos
SCISSOR, and the gathered treasures
of lifetime of thought and obser-
walton, more durable than monu-
mental brass, are lost to the world.
With great variety of diseases
peculiar to our climate and local
conditions, the field of our labors is
one of a most inviting character,
and if entered upon with united Of
fort promises great benefits to our
selves and the public.

TO OUR COUNTRY FEIENDs.

In getting up the facts in regard tC
our country neighbors, which We pre-
sented TO the public in our mammoth
edition Of last Monday, we had recourse
10 well known citizens in each place, o
whom we asked that they give Us al
the points likely 70 be ofinterest and thai
would most truthfllly set forth the origin
and growth Of their town. We preferred
thus 10 defer to gentlemen iien'
tilted with the surrounding towns
rather than rely upon such
reports as cur special correspondent,
might be able to get up. Whatever,
therefore, have been the defects, they
are not due TO Us, but to those upon
whom We depended to give US in full all
the facts We asked for in regard to their
own homes. That some mistakes would
occur was to De expected. Yet, although
some complaint has reached US or that
score, we are very much graft
fed that they have not been
more, and that so little has
occurred to challenge other than the ad-
miration OF our readers. Our friends at
CofIeeville, Grenada and Stanton will
please accept this in explanation Of the
errors Of which they have complained
Ard if they viii look to the report again,
and consider that theirs are the only
complaints that have reached Us, they
will be surprised and gratiied that so
large a work and so great an undertak-
ing should make its appearance so nearly
-uarfect.

WONDERFUL.
An Almost PrOyidentiaI IntgrpJsitiOn-
A Woman and Child Saved from
Death by a Snake.

The Dude India Excelsior prints the
story following: "Very recently a ma
tive, having ornaments on her person
worth about four or five hundred rupees,
accompanied by her daughter, who also
wore ornaments worth about two hun
dred rupees, alighted from the train at
Hurdui, aud hired an ekka to convey
them to their villages. On arriving at
alonely spot about six miles from Hur-
dui, there being no villages within
miles, the ekka drew up at the side of
the road, and the driver suddenly de-
manded the whole Of the jewelry to be
given up to him. On being refused, he
tied the woman and the girl up to the
ekka and cody divested them of every
article. He then drew knife with the
intention of numbering them, but in the
excitement of the moment let the
weapon fall into ditch about three feet
deep. He jumped down and was just
in the act of clutehing for the
knife when black snake
darted from hole and fixed its fangs in
his hand. Knowing the snake to be an
extremely venomous one, he fell down
almost senssless with terror and died in
a few minutes. The woman and girl re.
mained there about two hours, when.
seeing some villagers at a distance, they
screamed for assistance, and, on being
released, gave information at the near
est thanAah. The polite came to the
spot, and found the corpse Of the ekka
driver, and the snake still there. The
corpse was taken to the nearest station
FOR an inquest to be held; the snake was
blocked in its hole with large stone, as
the police had not the courage to kill it.
The ornaments were found tied up in
the kuumer-bund Of the corpse, and
were restored to their owners. The
foregoing facts were related to US by one
whose veracity we have no reason to
doubt ~

Fatal Shooting Affair.

On Thursday morning last, a shoot
ing affair occurred at Burton's mill,
about four miles north of this place, in
which one man was mOTtally wounded.
The particulars, as far as We have been
able TO gather them, are substantially as
follows: Both parties, - Carlisle
and w. A. Roberts, were engaged at the
mill in hauling lumber. We under
stand q feud has existed between them
for some time past, but the immediate
cause Of the unfortunate affair grew out
Of a misunderstanding in regard 10 the
hauling a certain lot of lumber. A
quarrel Of a violent character ensUed, in
which Roberts swOre he would shoot
Carlisle, and started to the house 10 gel
his gun, closely followed by Carlisle
On taking up the gun and examining
it, he found il empty, and proceeded at
once TO load it. Carlisle asked him if
be was loading thst gun to shoot him,
to which Roberts r-plied that he was
but asked Carlisle not to shoot until be
bad finished loading his gun, on which
Carlisle discharged two shots from his
repeater, the first taking effect in the
abdomen, cutting, we understand, one
or more Of the intestines, and lodging
under the skin Just above the hipbOne
The second shot entered the left should
er, and ranged down the spinal column.
Either shot, his physician says, would
necessarily produce death, and at last
accounts no hopes were entertained Of
his recovery. Roberts was originally
from Tennessee, where he has relatives
living. Though il IS generally believed
that Carlisle was justifiable, be made his
escape, and up to last accounts bad not
been heard from. Roberts died on
Thursday night.-ArkadeLphid Ark

race-course some time ago, while train

Nashville blOOd-hOrse association in eX-
pelling him from the privileges Of the

made in behalf of the trainer, with q
view of having bim reinstated, but the
association refused on each occasion To
bring him back. Yesterday, however, 8

Of the Kentucky association at LeXing-

representing the helpless and destitute
condition Of Mr.. Paul, and earnestly
asking as a favor that be be reinstated,

MIDDLETON.
New COttOn-The CrOp-The Business
PrOspect-The Railroad.

By permission of Hill, Fontaine & Co.
of this city, we lay before our reader.
the following very newsy and excellent
letter:
MIDDLETON STATION, TENN, Sep.
/ tember S.-I to-day send YOU a new boil
of cotton, the first from this place. Sell
it for all you can, paid twenty cents
for it. / received it on Saturday. II
was raised by a Mr.. J. J. Jones, on
I Muddy, near this place, and is a good
sample Of the cotton in this section il
the farmers can get it picked out before
much rain. The crop is opening very
rapid, and large proportion of the cot
ton on hill-land is near the ground; the
most of the top crop has been thrown
OF by the dry weather. Rains will
damage the cotton now open. Unless
picked before rain the crop will not yield
by one-fourth as much as the prospect
seemed 1t would three weeks ago.
But Notwithstanding everybody seems
hopeful, the merchants in the place are
filling up and fixing for the winter trade
as if all thought they would do well.
Our town and neighborhood is gener
ally, think, on the upward scale in the
way OF Improvements, and / think also

least it ought to be, as we have lately
had number Of protracted meetings.
The manager of the Ripley narrow
gauge railroad also seems TO be in fine
spirits about the prospect of the road this
season, and is looking for a good deal of
work during the fall and winter, and
pay TO the road in proportion. This
morning out here feels to us like winter
might be lurking about near, and calls
fire and wOolen goods into use.

$4,000 LOSS.
ire at MurfreesbOrO - Two Large
StOrehOuses Burned.

From Tie Nashville BanRsr.l
A fire occurred at Murfreesboro at
three o'clock yesterday morning, which
threatened seriously 70 destroy the east
side Of the public square 1t is supposed
to have originated in the hall over
Hooker q OveTall's grocery store, used
as a lodge-room by the Masonic frater-
nifty. That establishm ent and the gro
cery house OF J. S. McFadden were to-
tally destroyed. Haynes d Bacharacb's
grocery store was badly damaged. Much
Of the goods belonging to that firm was
also damaged by being carried out. The
doors and windows Of J. McDermott's
drug store were broken down, and a
good deal of his stock lost by the break
age Of jars containing il. The goods of
T. G. Goodrich were also damaged in
the hurry of taking them beyond the
possible reach of the fire. J. S. McFad-
den probably sustained the greatest
loss of all, his house not only be-
ing burned, but with it an entire new
stock OF goods, two or three carloads OF
salt included. The house occupied by
Hooker & Overall was the property of
J. n. Clark. The loss sustained was be-
tween twenty and twenty-five thousand
dollars. There was no Insurance upon
the house occupied by Hooker & Over
all. The Others were fully insured. The
fire illuminated the town and brought
out all the people, who used buckets Of
water to the greatest possible advantage,
in the absence Of a fire-engine. Fearing
that a destructive conflagration would
ensue, a telegraphic dispatch was sent
about four o'clock to Superintendent
Thomas and Captain Srockell to have
an engine sent out from Nashville, but
by the time the train and the fire-engine
were got in readiness the request was
countermanded, the fire having at that
time been almost extinguished.

Fatal Result OF a Refusal 20 Play
Game-The Refdser Wins
the Fight.
From the Nashville Ranner.l

From the Nashville Banner.l
A bloody affair occurred at Decatur,
Alabama, at five o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoOn. Hamp Crenshaw, of Athens,
was at Decatur awaiting the arrival of a
train on which he was TO depart that
place. Having an acquaintance with a
cObler named Jas. Weaver, he went to
the latter's shop simply 10 while away
the time he was compelled to lay over
at Decatur. While there Weaver ban
tered him to play q game of dOminoes.
Crenshaw refused, not wishing to par
ticipate in that game. Weaver became
offended at Crenshaw's refusing to take
part in the amusement, and attempted
to stab Crenshaw with a shOe-knife,
slightly cutting the lattec's throat twice,
and his clothing at the shoulder, when
Crenshaw shot him just below the nip
pie, fatally wOunding him. Weaver be-
came paralyzed yesterday morning and
no hope was entertained Of his recovery.
At a preliminary examination it was
shown that Crenshaw had acted in self
defense. He was, therefore, discharged.
