borne seems to be getting ahead
of the other parishes in out
RACES and crime. II has not
been very long since the out
rage upon the person of Mrs.
Kidd was Perpetrated, which
ended In the horrible death of
that unfortunate lady, and we
now have to record another
outrage upon the person of a
young married lady, near
Haynesyille, which, fortunate
.-ly for her, only terminated in
her being frightened pretty |
near to death. The aggressor
was negro of bad character
who was living at the time with
the young lady's father. He
had previously made the re-
mark that he wondered that
the white women in the neigh
borhoOd were not afraid to be
left alone, and Mr.. Thomas, the
young lady'S father, was warn
ed By parties who had heard
the negro make the remark,
but he told them he would take
care of him in his own yard
But the negro, taking advan-
tage of Mr.. rs absence from
the house, went into it, and
tried to outrage the person of
the young lady. She resisted
him to her utmost, and being
alarmed by her screams fol
help, the fiend in human form
drew a knife and tried to kill
her by cutting her across the
abdomen, but was prevented
from committing the foul deco
by the lady's clothing, which
he cut nearly to the skin, anC
then becoming alarmed be fed
Soon after, the whole country
was alarmed and in pursuit
and the news reached here tina
he was caught. / hope that b,
this time he has met with sucl
punishment as such a brut'
may deserve. -.
The other case is that of
mulatto, living about ten mile
from here, committing a rap
OH a little colored girl ten year
old. He violated the little gin
in such a shocking manner tina
medical assistance had to b
called in. The negro wa
brought TO town to-day an
committed to- await his trial Z
the next court.
News also comes to us frol
the Arkansas line f a horribl
murder, committed by two u,
groes on two German peddler
RumOr says the peddlers wei
overtaken ON the road by ii

We have a great admiration OF Judge
Pollock. He 10 unique. There Was never
before him a Judge moro original, and one
more original will never come amer him,
unless nature and the oranges should de-
velops an unexpected judicial prodigy.

to our appreciation Of a lawyer, and 10 no,

decision oftsnsr than he hits Il. Some
men who get on the bench, not being law.
yers, but men Of sound ssnsv, can shoot
decisions Of hand and they frequently hit
the nail on the bead, but
Mr.. Pollock seldom ever thus blunders
On the contrsy be is likely to shoot
around the corner and hit the wrong
party. We have no doubt he |. right on
the monopoly question, bn, wo are ia
cliued to believe he wont do for all that.
His opponent, Tanner, although under
he manipulations of the Jefferson cot nty
