A sad circumstance occurred last
Friday week, at a point in the country
between Mckenzie and Dresden. Two
boys were playing together, and one of
them, who had an axe chopping with it,
accidentally cut the hand of the other
boy of across the third joints. The
father of the wounded boy was so exas-
perated that, Selling a hickory wythe, he
whipped the author of the accident in a
most unmerciful manner, and then went
for physician to dress his boys hand.
When he returned, he found the boy he
had whipped in a dying condition, with
no hopes of his recovery The cutting
with the axe, it is said, was purely acct
dental.

a STRAY WAIF-Morc than two
years ago, "a VIC learn, little girl, then
about nine years of age, was put off from
the cars of the Nashville and Northwest
crn railroad at this place, and turned
loose upon the streets y gentleman by
the name of May, living on Little Obion,
four miles above this place, CHANGED to be
in town and learning of her piteous
condition, took her home with him, be at
that time was living with his mother, an
aged lady and widow Mrs. May took
charge of the child brought to her house
by her son until her death, which occur
rcd something over q year ago. Since
that time the little girl has had Various
homes. About mouth ago she was hand
ed over to the judge of this county for
the purpose of his providing her suit
able home at the expense OF the county.
One side of her seems to be partially
paralyzed, and she walks with difhculey,
and is unable to perform scarcely any
kind OF manual labor. Owing to her
afflicted condition it is impossible to find
any one, wiling 10 take her as a bound
apprentice. She gives her name as Sally
knight. and says that her fathers name
was Calvin Knight, and is dead. OF her
mother she has no recollection. She says
that she was sent to this place by a Mrs.
Badger, Of Nashville, and that she has re-
Iations living in that city. How much re-
lance is to be placed in the account which
she gives of herself, aud from where she
came. we are unable to-say. She IS rather
sprightly, but entirely uneducated

THE SCHOOL ELECTIoN-The new
school law requires the election Of a
school trustee, the 1st Saturday in July
Of each year The former law required
three, bnt the present only one.
This election in the Hickman prccinc,
Is of special Importance, from the fact.
that,an al valorrm tax of 20 cents has
been, aud is being levied, for the erection
of common school house, suitable to ac-
commodate the school OF the district. The
Trustee to he chosen, will be vested with
the expenditure Of this money, the pur-
chase of grounds, the determining of the
character and cost of said building. etc.
in addition to the general supervision Of
our school interests as prescribed by law
He is vested with these powers and au-
thorities without bond, and hence the i'm
portance of securing thoroughly reliable
and intelligent man.
The school assessment of this district
at 2Octs foo's up about 5000 annually, and
this win be the third year of levy.
The prevailing Judgment has been that a
suitable, permanent building could not
be build short Of $1,000, and that the
trustees could commence work the ensuing
year All these questions are to be de-
termined by the Trustee to be elected the
LIST Saturday in July, and we call special
attention to it, that voters may consider
the matter.
All white persons, 81 years Of age, in
Guiding widow women, who have children
between the ages OF and 90 years old
are competent voters.

A small party of excursionistSchar-
tered the Hickman steamer Glasgow, Sun
day last, and took pleasant run up to
Columbus and back. The trip was highly
delightful and pleasant, and all the ex-
cursionists enjoyed the health giving, re-
creating breeze of the Mississippi hugely.
The Glasgow is chartered for a pleasure
party down the river to Tiptonville or
Point Pleasant, within a week or so, and
we doubt not many of our people will
avail themselves of this pleasant reorea-
ton.
To Us, one commemorate feature of such
excursions, is its cheapness. So many
are able to pay 81 or SOC for such healthful
and necessary recreations, Who are denied
such pleasures when they are to be OBJ
tanned through carriage excursions TO the
country, etc.
The very best decorum and gentility is
observed, and the general management is
such that the strictest can ind no reason
able objection.

Some of the Hickman Amateur sing
ers, who have been in preparation several
weeks, on Bradbury's musical piece,
Queen Esther" rendered the same We'd
nesday and Thursday nights, to small but
we suppose appreciative audiences. To
our un cultivated eur, it must have been
an eccentricity in the great composer to
have conceived the thought of arranging
such an uumeasured text to music. Our
very popular young prima donna, Miss
Belle Fortune, as Queen, with Mr.. W. Z.
Fortune in the role of King Ahasuerus,
assisted by a combination OF our best
musical talent, managed to throw excel
lent music into all the parts. The two
named touch nothing but to produce the
best % music-chips, brickbats or whet-
stones would return rich harmonies. The
list of performers are too numerous to
particularize all the meritorious. Be-
sides, the management were lavishly
slack in courtesies to the press, and we
are not remarka Bile for thrusting notices
upon those who are apparently so sub
timely Indifferent to ideas of reciprocity.
