TENDEnsoN BEATS Our KurEx-Two
weeks ago we published an cxtraordi nary
freak OF nature in the way Of a dead
kitten. Now comes Henderson county,
with n live feline that beats ours all hoI-
low. Her kitten has six legs, each leg well
DEVELOPED and all right in every way,
she is said to be healthy and lively and
Is now about four weeks old.
ERRoR.-I.ast week, IN writing OF the
cOlored Masonic Celebration In this city,
types made us say that the lodge was
chartered in 1871, when they should have
said, July the 18th 1872 We also failed 10
mention the eloquent address OF Bishop
Lane. From competent Judges VIC learn
that the Bishops address on the occasion
was worthy Of his high character for in
telllgence, conservatism and plcty. No
coloued man stands higher in this com
munity, than Bishop Lane. His career
has been full Of gOOd-works and utterly
devoid OF pcrnIcious teachings or example.
LIvELY.-Depuly L. :. Marshal Knott,
OF Memphis, and Mr.. EugIander, a gro
eeryfnerehant in southeast Jackson, had 4 I

orsome kind of revenue Misunderstanding. /
which sined down, amounts simply 70 this:
