A SUTFEB EsTAELI~IlMENT.-W We dined
one day thi, week at Kuuz u McKjnlay's
Restaurant. We happened in At 4 late
hour for dinner and only received 81 rCgu-
lar meal" Eut the dinner was worthy Of
the admiration Of the most exquisite cpl
cure. Ncatnc~s, dispatch, good cooking
and variety, all combined TO make the din
ncr superb. Thi, Restaurant has few
ruull. and no superior In the state.
! A CoNFrDEScE Max. One Riley was ar
rested on Thursday for practicing ''con-
fdcucc game ON several persons. Riley
procured license from the city a. mcr-
chant, and established himself on LlfIy-
cite street, next door TO smith 4 Jlrnagin.
But his concern proved 10 be a regular
.eonaicncc affair" and after several per
sons had lost their moHoy in betting at his
various games, he was rcpo-tedt to the police
and promptly suppressed.
| THREATS We learn that certain colOred
men in the 10th District have threatened
the life Of Mr.. Gid Hicks. They are angry
with him for denying them the freedom Of
hi, ward. Some month, ago they dcpre-
dated on his premises and he fired into
them, KILN" one and stampodius the bal
ancc. Mr.. Hicks is fully able to take care
Of himself, but the wretchCs who have
threatened BIZ, life should De brought to jus
ticc. The game they attempt to play is
becoming entirely too common in this
county.
| SAD.--A stranger without 20 home, or
| kindred, a wal in the world, was taken up
| by the police on Wednesday, and conveyed
to the hospital. lie had the mania potu,
| and in his wild distorted ftucic., quoted,
| instead Of dreaded death. IIci' still in the
| hospital and his recovery is doubtful. His
name he refuses to give, nor in his widest
wandcrinss does he give any clue TO his his
| tory. sal must be that history. With him
and his God the story Of his life secret rests.
God pity him.
DISAPPOINTMENT, LIKE GAMER, ETC.
Recently near Jacks Creek, in Henderson
County, gushing couple arrayed them
selves for matrimony. The wedding lamps
were lighted, the company were assembled
and the parson was ready 10 pcrfOnl his
duties. But the young man who had been
sent 10 Lexington for the license, got caught
on jury, and hence there was pause in
the affair. However, next day the affair
was consumatcd, and all parties made
happy.
OUR HUMBOLDT CORRESPONDENT For
some weeks past a passage at arms has
| been going on between our Humboldt cor
respondent and one Johnny Umstcd,
youth Of that city. We have published all
that we intend TO publish. (unlcSs It be aS an
advertisement on the subject. our cor
respondent, Hubert" has clearly Nindi-
Gated himself rs to the truth OF the item he
originally furnished, with regard TO young
Um>tcd. That young mans replies were
in the first place, unnecessary, and in the
second place, in bad taste. We would not
wrong the young man, and presume that he
has kind, worthy parents, and to them as
well rs himself, we would kindly suggest,
that he will do himsClr no good by keeping
up newspaper correspondence which i
purely personal.
