AN AMUSING contention is going on in
Massachusetts between the towns of Lexing-
ton, Concord and Acton as to the place where
the first fight of the Revolution took place,
Lexington is ready to produce undeniable
evidence that the war of the Revolution be-
gan within her limits. Concord is ready to
produce undenlable evidence that the war Of
the Revolution began within her limits. Acton
is ready to produce undeniable evidence that
the war of the Revolution began within her
limits. People are divided in opinion be-
tween the rival claimants, and the critics Of
the destructive school are beginning to sug-
gest that there never was any war-that the
whole Thing is q myth.

ACCORDING to correspondent of the New
York Times Don Carlos has strongholds in
himself so long as he has funds for the sup
port of his army. The region is extremely
mountainous and handful of men can hold
it against host of troops. The funds are
supplied by wealthy ultramontanes through
out Europe. Don Carlos intends to maintain
himself in these provinces until he is called
to Madrid by popular acclamation-an event

MILTON MCLEAN.-On the 9TH Of Janu-
airy, 1876, a spectacle is 10 be behOlden in
this city, counterpart of which We have
not had for twenty-six years. legal ex-
ecution. How swiftly must fly the hours,
and how speedily must pass the number
ed days with Milton Mclean. Shut out
from the light Of heaven, incarcersted in
an iron cage, and left with his own
thoughts, while death approaches nearer
and nearer, he is indeed paying the pen
atty Of his crime. The merciful prayers
offered in his behalf by the men of God,
and the warm tears of q sOrrowing wife,
and the plaintive cries of his children
soon to be fatherless-haYe at last melted
his iron will. We learn from those whs
have visited him, that he appears more
deeply interested in the salvation OF his
soul, and requested that testament be
sent him, which was accordingly done.
He has been reading the book ever since,
but says the "Bible is full Of mystery to
him" Last Sunday evening a gentle
man read portion of a letter to the pris-
Oner, received from McLean's brother in
South Carolina, and he was very deeply
affected. While evidently anxious about
his souls salvation, he appears exceeding
ly cheerful and conyersss more freely
than several weeks ago. We are request
ed by the sheriff, Capt. May, to state that
the execution Will take place on the East
side OF the Central Railroad, near the
bottom. Thus it is, human beings life
is rapidly drawing to a close, and the de-
cline of the sun on the 9TH of January,
1876, will find robust man in the habili-
ments of the dead. May God mete out
to him that measure Of pity and kind
ness which his sud fate SO feelingly DE-
mands.

JACKSON CITY DRECroRY.- affords
us pleasure to announce the appearance
of the new City Directory, which is now
being circulated by Messrs. Gardner Il
Gaines, the publishers. The book is Il
model OF mechanical neatness, well filled
with useful and interesting matter, and
in short furnishes reliable and hand
some photograph OF jackson, superior to
any thing of the kind ever possessed by
our citizens. The work, rs 4 book of ref
erence, will be found of incalculablc
value to business men, and N doubt they
will recognize the pIopriety of purchas-
ing it. One of the attractive features OF
the directory is an elegant picture of our
fellow townsman, Col. ID. II. King, which
was most admirably executed by Messrs.
McClintock & Langford, of our city.
Messrs. Gardner & Gaines are young
men of indomitable energy, and are thor
oughly eorversant with the directory
business. While in jackson they have
made many friends who will regret to
see them leave We wish them unlimit-
ed success wherever they may 20.
