THE CLARKE COUNTY TKAGEDY.---The Der
ryvile Clarke county, Courier and The
Winchester Times confirm the report Of the
Little tragedy, in Clarke county, as it was
originally published in the Dispatch. The
Courier says:
"Tbe members of the family in giving in
their testimony before Justice Wharton were
very reticent, and but little evidence was adj
duced to show what words were employed
before Lycurgus fred the shot that caused
the death OF his brother Clinton. A general
fight ensued, in which The mother received a
wound in the thigh from a pistol-ball, which
shooting, it seems, was unintentional, she
having endeavored to shield Clinton from
the assault, aud in doing so got between him
and Lycurgus's pistol. Oscar iniicte seYe-
ral ugly wounds on Glinton's head by using
bis pistol in club-like manner. After the
shooting of Clinton and his mother, Column
bus and Gilbert succeeded in wrestling from
the bands of Oscar and Lycurgus their pis-
tolls, when the latter two fled towards the
barn, for the purpose, it is supposed, OF get
ting horses to make their escape. ,gr>.
'sThe room 10 which the tragedy was
enacted presented, it Is said, an awful sight
after it was all over. The flooring and walls
were red with blood"

AN AERoNAuT's. PERns.-Mr. Frank 4.
King, son OF Professor S. A. King, of Bos-
ton, who made balloon ascension from the
Lamoille Valley Fair Ground, Morristown,
VT, on the Fourth of July, had perilous
experience. When about TWO and half
miles up he encountered a snow-storm,
which covered the balloon nearly an inch
thick, and sent it down rapidly. The bal,
loon was seen by several farmers when it
landed, about forty-fye minutes. after it went
IN. and about eight miles from where the
ascent was made. Not hearing anything
from young King,a party was organized,
and search made. 1t was estimated that
there were five hundred men in the forest at
8 O'Clock Sunday morning. The balloon was
found about II O'Clock, and young King
came out about the same time, having been
in the. wilderness almost forty-eight hours
without any food. He was very much ex-
hausted from cold and hunger, but' unin-
iured, although he says a bear came within
few feet of him on Saturday night, snufed
around, and left. Intense excitement pre-
vailed all through the valley for the safety
Of the young man, and at his appearance
there was great rejoicing. - -

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Lizzie, like all the best horses in this coun-
try, was bred and raised on the WOODBURY.
farm, in Kentucky, and was bought there
for Mr.. boswell when she was yearling for
$500. She is beautiful gray, standing ff-
teen hands two and three-quarter inches
high. By the appended pedigree it will
be seen that she is by imported Aus
tralian, out of Eagles by Glencoe.
She is very raeing-like in appearance,
and has singular habit of switching
her tail when running as if she was being
spurred at every stride. This was her third
start, she having won the Chesapeake stakes
ut Baltimore, mile and quarter, for three,
year-old .tilies, in 2:l5s. For the Ladies'
stakes, at Jerome Park, a mile and five fur
longs, she was beaten by Katy Pease, Salie
Watson, and Alice Hall in the order named.
Her next engagement is in the Alabama
stakes at Saratoga, when she will probably
meet Katy Pease for the second time and
Sallie Watson for the third time. As each of
them has scored q win over each other, the
race will be looked for with interest. espe-
cially should Katy Pease stay out and leave
the fight to Alabama and Virginia.

Paper Making.

The principle of paper making has been
the same from time immemorial, the only
change being the material used and the
machinery employed The fibrous sub
stance is cut and bruised in water until it
becomes fine, soft pulp. This is taken
up in thin even layer upon frame of fine
wire cloth that allows the moisture to pass
through, when the pulp speedily coagu-
lates into sheet of paper. The sheets are
first pressed between felt, which being re-
moved, the paper is again subjected to a
pressure, and dried. 1t is in this state
bibulous, like blotting paper but the
sheets are now dipped in size, and again
pressed and dried.
For printing paper, however, the size is
added to the pulp in the engine. Some
idea may be formed of the improvement
effected by machinery in this manufacture
when it is stated that whereas by the hand
process the paper took more than three
months to complete, the rags may now be
put into the mill one day, and the paper be
ready for delivery the next. Scarcely a
fibrous vegetable substance exists that may
not be turned to use in this manufacture.
Jacob Christian Schaffer, of Ratisbon, 1866,
wrote work on experiments in making
paper from other materials than rags, which
is printed on sixty varieties of paper made
from as many different substances. And
in 1856 do Vilette published in London a
small book printed on paper made from
marsh mallow at the ends are leaves of
paper manufactured at Bruges from twenty
different plants, such as nettles, hops, reeds,
etc. But these, as well as straw, can only
be considered as substitutes to supply the
deficiency Of rags, not as in any way super
seding that material.

Justice i'm California.

The first Alcalde, in 1851, in Yereka,
California, was known as "Cut-eye Fos-
ter" but he left no docket, and soon ran
away, and George G. Vail reigned in his
stead. No law book was ever used in his
court he decided each case on its own
merits, writing out the full history, and
his docket is a curiosity. In one case
brought before him, boy had driven a
team from Oregon, and worked all winter
for man, who declined to pay. He sold
out in the spring and was leaving suddenly
when. ON com mplaint of the boy, Vail and
two constables stopped him on the road.
1t was proved that he had received three
thousand dollars on his sale, but he de-
clared himself unable to pay, though not
denying the boys claim. Judge Vail de-
cided in these words: "Constable, stand
this man on his head, shake him well, and
see if you can't hear something drop ~
No sooner said than done. A vigorous
shaking brought to light wallet contain
ing two thousand dollars in gold dust; the
boy received his claim of three hundred
dollars, the judge and constables took an
ounce apiece for their trouble, and the
defendent went his way lighter man.
Justice like this was cheap at three ounces.

A Hint 10 Girls.

Standing in a group of gentlemen the
other evening, when young lady passed,
one Of the party remarked "What a
pity so fine looking young lady
should make herself SO ridiculous by such
an effected walk" Nature had made her
upright and womanly in form, but in her
zeal to emulate the Grecian bend or some
other outlandish folly she had contracted
the habit of walking as if she had a contor-
tion of the spine, and the Chinese shoes on
her feet. And she is fair representative
of her class Not satisfied with themselves
as God made them, they constantly trying
to improve on nature, and invariably make
botch of the business. If these effected
Misses only knew how much merriment
they excite among those whose admiration
they court they would quickly "reform IL
altogether" When sensible man wants
wife, be sure he will not select her from
the artificial hunchbacks and pacing crys-
tai toes of mock fashion.
