A FIERCE COSFLICT.-On Thursday
evening the city in and around the square
was thrown into great excitement by
fierce combat between officer NcAIexaudeE
and Mr. 10. Lane, 4 we'll known citizen eG
this city. The facts as related to u, are
about as follows: Lane and party Ct
young gentlemen were standing On the side
walk near the Recorders Office, when no
gro man and woman passed by, the woman
running against Lane, who wheeling,
knocked her hat OF, and warned her not 10
repeat such rudencs-. The negro man ran
Of and returned with Officer McAIexander.
He pointed out Lane, charging him with as
saulting the woman. Lane denied the charge
The negro repeated land then Lane knock
Ell him down. McAIeXander interfered and
Lane Knocked him down, and would have
burt him seriously but for the interference
% hy-stlndeTs. When separated, Lane
got on his horse and rode down Liberty St
When nearly opposite the CouTt-hOus-,
McA|eXander, who was pursuing, fired at
him, whcreupon Lane promptly dismount-
cI and with brick in each hand, boldly
advanced on the officer. McAlexander tired
on him twice as he advanced, but Lane
neither hesitated OF slackened his pace. Al
this critical point, and when only fifteen
yards separated them, and when MeAlex-
ander was evidently rcserving has last two
shots for fatal work, Sheriff May jumped
between them, and after much effort, got
Lane TO lay down his bricks, and the officer

effort. Officers Scweli, Bruce and McAleX-
nder succeeded 10 eiTetting Lanes arrest. |
While en- route to the Station house, Lane |
became offended at Officer Bruce-s manner |
and struck him stunning blow. McAleN- /
lnder then struck Lane on the head with /
his mace, and Lane received, we learn, /
Jthcr blows. Frank BumpaSs, at this I
point, came 10 Lanes assistance aEd was /

settling Up their Old business, and most o.
them adopting the cash system.

usual dignity. Among the nonresident attor-

Brownsville. Judge Williamson, =. p Rankin

Of drunkenness, and was without provOcation.
They were both c0lored mon.
Messrs. Hammond & NeilsOnshayc dissolved

Nelson retiring. 1Ir. Hammond Is first class
merchant, and has q large stock OF Pail and
Winter goods, which he is determined TO sell,
even at - sacrifice, 20 make room fer his Spring

tire which has attended him in the past, and az
the same time wish Mr.. Nelson that eucOur-

fitted and refurnishcI their suite Of Dental
Rooms over G.. 5. I.aincy's, and are now pre-
pared TO do all work in their line and warrant
satisfaction. We have noticed several speci-
mems Of their work recently, both operative
and mechanical; and the cheerful faces OF those
for whom the work was done, spoke volumes
in their favor. They are strictly moral, up
right, christian gentlemen and merit a liberal
patronage.
Our amateur theatrical club have given sever
al entertainments AZ shay's Hall, recently, 10
crowded houses, Tor the benefit Of the Plesby-
terrain church which is being completed here.
The club gave an entertainment az Trenton one
night during the Christmas holidays, and from
al that have talked 70 Us about it we learn that
the pieces-''Ten Nights in 4 Bar-room'' and
Inc ''Artrul DOdgcr,'' were as well executed
As could have been done, although ye Local Of |
The Trenton Gazette thinks differently, we sup
pose, as he says 1.-THE Humboldt Amateurs /
gave an entertainment at the City Han, Christ- |

OBITUARY.

Died, on Friday, January ., 1874, al Willow
Banks, Madison county, Tenn, Mrs. ADA y.
wife Of John II. Freeman, in the oath year
OF her age.
Many weary days and weeks She has lain
upon her couch, struggling with disease
and racIled with pain, and as the passions
Of life and action with her, were gradually
passing away as she jOurneyed on 10 that
night where she was to sleep on the fever OF
the day IN advance Of n new dawn, in a new
country, where falls no shadow OF regret.
and where there are no waning years, nor
fading leaves or setting suns"-when earth
was recediag and Heaven opening TO her
view, with the celestial choir that waited to
receive her she mingled the music OF her
songs.
She died member OF the Methodist
Church. and that faith which she prOfessed
was able to sustain her in death, and COM
fort her in her dying:hour. She ever ex-
pressed a willingness to die, and frequently
during her sickness, shaking of the Ian
guor Of disease, broke forth IN a clear sweet
voice singing some sweet religious song, de-
scribed by those that heard IL as inexpress-
IDLY sweet and touching. She thus waited
her spirit in songs to her esd, and my
prayer is that her husband and children,
mother and brothers, may hear her voice
eternally around the great white throne
singing with the heavenly choir.
The synthesis Of youth and beauty, intel
lectual endowments and accomplishments,
and the magn etism Of pure christian wO-
man stole the hearts OF her friends, and en-
twined the affections of those with whom
she was associated. and rs one of the form
er, mingle q tear with those who weep
over departed worth, and the same hand
that two years, two months and two days
ago wrote the notice OF her marriage, that
she was the wife OF John II. Freeman, now
writes that the funeral cortese winding
from his residence to the silent city ofthe
dead is evidence that she is no longer his
bride, but that OF Heaven. II.

TObc White and Doe Wilson, gentlemen

A man named Mike Coley, was taken up
by the Marshal last "Wednesday, in state
OF raying delirium, caused by excessive
drinking. He was perfectly wild, and
seemed 10 think that some one was endeav-
oring to take his life. He was closely
guarded until he somewhatrccOvered from

DIR. Sharpe, who boarded him until Satur-

place Mike left that morning; for his kind
ness TO the unfortunate we tender many
thanks to the benevolent Doctor.
After the midnight watch OF New Years
Eve, all the loose wagons, carts, buggies,
&c, were drawn into Main street, a fence
was then built across the street and NJ the

bled a wagon yard very much. No one
knew who did the nocturnal work, and if
any one had been simple enough 70 have
inquired, he would have been Kissed of
the streets.
Messrs. Bryant, Jackson IL Co, have
moved into their new brick storehouse,
which is much larger and more convenient

finest finished houses in town, and is filed
with an excellent stock Of all kinds of dry
goods, clothing, hats, caps, trunks, satchels,
&c. They also keep groceries Of all kinds,
in a separate apartment-and sell more
goods than any other house in town. The
firm is composed OF thoroughgoing, ener-
getic and obIigiug gentlemen.

We notice that large per cent. Of
the cotton now coming into market is
much inferior to the early receipts,
aid is selling at from 10 to u cents.
The situation of the general market
stands substantially whore it did n
week ago. Receipts at all the ports
continue to be very full. The four
million estimate IS generally accepted
as the crop of the season.
But notwithstanding all tn e c
things, cotton is to-day ; higher than
two weeks ago. We think the ability
of prices to resist the influence Of
such tremendous receipts is the best
evidence of the uncommonly strong
position that cotton holds in the mar
ket.
The total receipts in all the United
States ports for the seven days end
ing Jan. ,, was 1925 bales. against
2l5,726 bales last week, 195. 925 bales
the previous week and liz, 80 bales
three weeks since, making the total
receipts since the lst OF Sept, 1873,
1900, $40 bales, against J, 734 ,2l9 bales
same period of 1872, showing an in
crease since Sept. l, 1873, OF 17J, 721
