ed, The Witness Of last week gives an
account ola trip over tho road, from which
we take the 70 lowing: 81
We found Engineer Garden at work ma
king preliminary surveys for straighten-
ing the track, and learned that all the
abrupt curves are to be reduced to- six de-
grees at least. and as much less as posi-
bic. Work has been commenced on two
curves east of Belmont, and also on the
reverse curve west of the deep cut be-
tween Plattevill lie and Belmont. The whole
road is to be ba.lasted with rock and sand,
and the contract for fencing the greater
portion of it has been let to Mr.: P. Hans
com. The embankment west Of the rock
cut has been widened and trimmed up; new
bridges are being put in, culverts built and
work laid out which, when completed, will
necessitate the expenditure Of between
forty and fifty thousand dollars. 1t is
contemplated to have the improvements a II
completed within the next ninety days,
SO that every thing will be in readine IS
for moving the grain in the fall.
new style of farmer swindlers are
said to be preambulating the country.
They represent themselves to be agents
for wholesale grange grocery establish
ment in Chicago, Their plano operati on
is to sell to farmers barrel of sugar or
sack of coffee, or both. at very low figures
provide they buy five or six pounds ofspices
of different kinds. For the sake OF gettene
sugar and coffee at such low figures many
farmers will swallow the bait, and the re-
suit is that they pay more profit OF the
spices than they would have to pay on
twice that amount Of sugar and coffee,

The Water Valley Courier relates
very sad case of the accidental killing of
Mr. Thad Adams, aged %, by his brother
Calvin, aged IT, The young men were
trying to shoot squirrel which was
running around a tree. The gun of the
younger brother was accidentally dis
charged and the contents lodged in the
side of the older brothers head, killing
him instantly. They were the sons of a
poor widow.
The Democratic county officers elect Of
Fayette county, were sworn into Office on
Monday and Tuesday of last week, the
Radical party having migrated to a more
congenial cline. "Peace reigns once more
in Warsaw" and it is not probable that
any further troubles will arise. Fayette
has, indeed, made a miraculous escape
from the clutches Of negro Radicalism.

Daniel K Boswell.

The following which we take from an
exchange refers to a character we'll
known to the people hereabouts. Bos~
well was at one time proprietor of the
Dunlap Springs.
Daniel &. Boswell and wife, of In
diana, lately attempted to defraud two
life insurance companies and their de-
feat, when success seemed certain, is
thus described. Boswell is represented
as a handsome man about sixty~three
years Of age. His wife, who is younger,
seems TO have furnished the bri ms for
the plot From 1867 to 1871, Boswell
and his wife resided at Munc1e, Ind,
and during that time obtained IN
surance on his life for $4,000 in the
Franklin Life, of Indianapolis, and
5000 in the Railway Accident, Hartford
During this latter year. the two made a
trip to Kansas, and during the absence
Boswell fell overheard from steamer
and was drowned in the Missouri
River. The widow returned to Nun
Gle and claimed the insurance. Al
though she acted her part well, suspi~
cions were aroused, and the Franklin
refused payment, while the Railway
compromised by paying her $4,000
Against the former company she COM
menced suit, and of course obtained a
verdict for full amount. But the com,
Pany was still convinced that Boswell
was alive, and secured a second trial, in
the meantime putting detectives on the
track of the drowned" man These
traced him from ST. Louis TO Tennessee,
thence into Mississippi, and, after long
chase, came upon him at Galesburg,
Illinois, VIII ere he was living under the
name of General Isaac Stewart Howe
From here he escaped, but, after many
turnings and twistingS, was again I'M
earthedat Little Traverse, Michigan, where
he was arrested From there he was
brought to Muncie, where he arrived on
the morning of the Ist inst, where he
was lodged in Jail in company with his
wife: who had been arrested as an &C =
complete. The Franklin certainly de-
serves great credit for the persistency
with which it has fought this claim, and
the determination with which it has I'M
earth ed the plot and the plotters.

The Nashville Banner gives the fol-
lowing scrap of history concerning our
candidate for Congress
Col. H. Casey Young, the nominee for
Congress of the Bolivar Convention, is
leading member of the Memphis Bar, and
recognized as a gentleman of high char
acter and frst-class abb tiles. He is a
native of Tennessee, but spent many Of
the early years of his life in Marshall
County, Mississippi, where most of his
near relations reside. In politics, before
the war, he was Douglas Democrat, and
Of course a Union man. He entered the
Confederate army from Memphis, con-
scientiously and ably performed his duty,
was promoted until reaching a Colonelcy,
and upon the restoration of peace re-
sumed his old place as a citizen He did
his fighting between 1861 and 1865, not
afterward, and ever since the latter period
has as earnestly labored to restore peace
and harmony between ali classes, as
years before he labored to avert the ter
ribe conflict which deluged the South
with blood and laid tens of thousands of
her heroes in nameless graves.
