Accidental Shooting-FOr Once the
Right Person Hit.

Last Thursday. two young men re,
siding some eighteen or twenty miles
above town on the II ,rdinsburgh road,
whose names we were unable to ascer-
tain, were in Hartford, and had start
ed home. when about two and half
miles out from town, they met a color
ed youth about their own age, some
seventeen or eighteen, a son of Nathan
Hines, of color, who was riding mule.
One of the young men asked him what
he would take for his mule. The ne
gro replied: ga shoestring from your
lip" This enraged the young white
man, who swore he would shoot the
negro. Attempting to cock his pistol,
with the muzzle of the weapon firmly
grasped in his left hand, in his excite.
ment he let the hammer fall upon the
cap, which exploded, discharging the
pistol, and sending the bullet through
his left hand. This satisfied him with
shooting negroes for that day. Fright
ened halfto death, imagining that his
hand was shot off, he and his companion
put spurs to their animals and galloped-
off toward their homes, leaving the
colored boy rejoicing at his escape.

to an AerOnaut ut the
(alhOOn Fair.

Last Thursday, the third day of the
Calhoon Fair, an aeronaat named At
Gibson, who had been engaged by the
Fair Company to make an ascension,
met with an accident which may yet
be attended with fatal results. The
following are the particulars as related
TO us by eye witnesses of the event:
/" While the balloon was being inflated
with hot air, the top, unobserved by
aeronaut or spectators, caught fire.
When he had assembled about three
hundred feet, the flames enveloped the
entire top of the air-ship, and it began
descending with fearful velocity. When
nearing tile top of tree. Atchison be-
gan rocking the basket, hoping to di-
rect and lodge the now manageable
balloon into its top. Seeing that he
could not accomplish his purpose, he
then clambered down the rope used
for trapeze performances while in the
air, with the purpose Of clutching a
limb of the tree for safety. The limb
broke with his weight, and he fell to
the earth beneath with such violence
as to break one of his legs in two places,
and produce serious internal injuries
that it is feared may yet prove fatal.
He was stunned to insensibility by the
fall, in which condition he remained
during the entire night of Thursday.
Next morning, when our informant
left Calhoon, he was reported to have
recovered his consciousness and felt
somewhat easier, though the attending
physicians protested to have but little
hopes ofhis ultimate recovery.

Unnatural Desertion.

The ways of soma women are Incom-
prehensible, and we may add, in many
instances, so are the maneuverings of
mank ind in general. As IN illustra-
tion-the flight of Mrs. Christian from
the loving tenderness of her husband,
and the joys, comforts and motherly
duties surrounding her home, for the
amorous embraces of an almost strang-
er, is so closely allied to the romantic
that it taxes the belief of those unac-
quainted with the shady side of human
nature. This unfortunate woman, fol-
lowing the dictates of her criminal and
unnatural infatuation, deserts thehome
of her husband and STILES the love that
burns in the bosom of every mother for
darling baby, which, no doubt, the fond
husband hoped would be an additional
link to the chain of love which bound
their hearts together. Mr.. Charles
Christian, ofthis county, the husband,
followed them to Louisville where he
lost all trace of the fugitives. He is
still on the search, and we wish him
success, and hope the punishment of
the destroyerof domestic happiness and
honor may be commensurate with the
crime. -.

Worse Than Brutality-Murder of
an Unborn Infant.

"Bite" Fielder, young man who, a
year or. two ago, married widow
Roach. daughter of John Harris, all
living in the Sulphur Springs neigh
borhood, committed one of the most in
human acts, a few days ago, that we
have ever been called upon to record,
and sincerely hope another of like ma
ture may never come to our ears. We
learn that Fielder had been in the
habit of whipping his wife, and had
been arreigned once in court for thus
treating her, but made his escape to
another State, and returned only q
short time ago. His wife, who was
e,,csiute, was playing with him a few
days ago, when he became enraged
and kicked her. crushing the unborn
child's head, and breaking its leg
and arm, in short, tore the child up
in most frightful manner, after which
he stamped and beat her upon the
floor.
Whose duty is it to look into this
affair? We hope the proper one will
look into it, and punish this villain to
the full extent ofthe law. What will
become of the country ifsuch men are
allowed to run at large and commit
slch outrages as these without being
punished?

There is fair price for everything
and advertising is no exception to this
rule. As for ourselves, we have q
price ON our columns, and if We can
not get somewhere near what we think
space in our paper Is worth, we let the
would-be advertiser pass, and leave
him to seek some cheaper medium for
reaching the people. We have had i.
case in point, recently, in the person
of patent medicine man. He asked
our price for a certain amount of adj
vertising; we told him $40; he said
his price was s12. He afterwards
agreed to pay us the handsome sum
of $40 for $40 worth of advertising.
Well, of course, we declined the lib
eral offer, when we were assured by
him that he had made better arrange
ments with the other papers. In re-
ply to this we told him that we had
not charged him any more than. We
thought the space in the Examiner
was richly worth-that it was as cheap
as we could do it and live, and be-
yond that we did not propose to CO.
Greensboro Examiner.
We had call from this same would
be advertiser, but he only wanted 800
worth for S12. He told us the same
tale that he tells the Examiner, that he
had made much better bargains with
other papers, whereupon We politely
Informed him that they were the papers
for him TO 10 his advertising in.

There seems to be a great deal of
dissatisfaction among our citizens in
regard to the location of the new Jail.
Some want it built on the public
square, while others contend that the
lot upon which the old one now stands
is the proper place. We hope this
thing may be settled satisfactory to all,
but then county court never did do
anything that would please the entire
public.

We have been again remembered by
that queenly landlady of the Crow
House. We know not how to express
the kind feeling we entertain for her
kindness in remembering us time after
time with the incest lunches we ever
sat down to. She knows playing with
the lever of a press is not much fun,
and as regularly as we engage in this
amusement, we receive a cup of good
hot coffee, with other nice things, to
stimulate us for the occasion.
