] A NAMELEss OUTRAGE ATTEMrTED.-
On Wednesday night week, near Lizards
Lick, Henderson county, a negro man by
( the name Of James Dodd, attempted d
nameless outrage on the person OF Miss
! GrisWold. He entered her sleeping apart
ment late in the night, plunged into her
bed, arOusing the young woman from heT
sleep, who before her cries could be stifled
aroused the family. The negro escaped,
but not before no had been identified by
the father, the young girl and other men,
bers OF the family. He failed OF his horri-
BILE purpose, and the officers Of the law
were speedily upon his track. He was ar
rested, tried before a justice and committed
to the county jail in Lexington. For him,
hanging is entirely too good. a regular
tOasting after the style OF the inquisitiOn,
would be all too mild for such a william.
IN TROUBLE.-On Tuesday the Chief OF
Police, received dispatch from one Robt'
Orr, Of Helena, Ark, 10 arrest his brother,
VIM. II. orr, and hold him until his arrival.
The police made the arrest on Wednesday
and now have the young man in charge.
1t seems that Robt. Orr is running an auc-
ton store in Helena, that be had establish
eel branch in Holly Springs, Miss, over
which his brother William presided; that
William had violated his confidence, squan-
dered his means and otherwise deceived
him. Mr.. IlObt. Orr is expected here to-
day, when his brothers case will be fully
investigated. On investigation the facts
may make a very different showing. At
all events we can hardly sympathize with
Mir. Robt. orr, in this Unnatural prosecution,
let his brothers errors be whatever.they
may. The young man under arrest, is
good looking, pleasant hammered, and on
the whole prepossessing, and we hope that
his case will not prove - bad as repre-
sented.
ENORMOUS EATING.-We before last
a couple of men at Kimball's Station, on
the Mississippi Central Railroad, contract
ed with a grocery dealer to pay him one
dollar Tor as many Cove Oysters and Sar-
dimes as they could eat. They ate IS two
pound cans of Oysters and one pound
cans OF sardines-20 pounds in all; when
the grocery man becoming alarmed offered
them can Of Oys;ers apiece to quit, which
they accepted. The same men, few days
went TO Trezvant, on the Men,
phis and Louisville Railroad, and agreed
to pay grocery man one dollar and 4 half
for as many Cove Oysters as they could eat.
They soon got themselves outside of two
pound cans, when the grocery man com
promised by giving them four drinks and a
can OF Oysters each to quit. Their names
are Holt aid Croker. We deeply regret to
that we have not yet been invited
10 their funerals or called on to write their
obituaries.
AN OUTEAGE.-Mr. W. q. Rhodes, Mail
Contractor between this city, Lexington
and Scotps Hill, for several weeks past has |
utterly failed to perform his duty. His ex-
;use for not complying with the law Of his /
contract turns out to be utterly groundless. |
This is not the first time that Mr.. Rhodes |
las failed to perform his duty, and forbcar- !
lnce has ceased 70 be a virtue in his case. |
II he is unable to carry out his contract, let /
he cause Of that inability be what it may, |
)loyed in his placs that can and will do so.
Under the circumstances no bid from Mr.. |
Skodes should be entertained by the De- /
He has failed too often TO be
rusted again. In the mean time, and in /
'ehalf Of every citizen in East Madison,
md in Henderson and Decatur counties, |
We appeal TO thO..c in authority to make

outrage and insult the public patience.
AsLEEr IN THE SAME GRAvE.-On
donday evening, the 18th uh., near sal
lilo, in Hardin county, an old lady by the
lame of Etheridge, died after long illness
Carly the next morning her aged husband,
he Rev. Allen Ethcridge also died, and
husband and wife were buried on the same

A Loss AND a LEssoN.-Ou Tuesday
he 9th Mr.. J. W. Cawthorn, of Hcnder-
ION County, sold lot OF cotton 10 Nc
Jutchcn X Lgwler. and received check
or the same on the Savings Bank of this
.ity, the check calling for Sl77. Before GO
nS to the Bank, and in some unaccount-
lble manner which we will not attempt TO
explain, the check was lost by Mr.. Caw-
horn, or it was stolen from him. At all /
events the check was lost or stolen, and the /
finder or the thief went to the Bank and /
,ashcd it before Mr.. Cawthorn missed it. |
The check was made payable to J. W. /
or bearer, and hence when pre- |
sented by any one, no matter who. had to /
be cashed. Every effort possible has been |
made to unearth the thief, but in the very |
nature OF the c.se such effort is fruitless, /
unless the thief be more fool than knave. !
The Cashier Of the Bank only remembers |
that such check was presented and cash |
ed, and that the party receiving the money !
took it without recOuntins, which was I'M
usual, at least with countrymCn. But he
has no recollection either Of the features or
form Of the man who thus played the viii
lain. We regard the loss as hopeless one
and can only hone that il VIII Drove a
