A Marrow Escape.

While Mr.. Augustus Graft, of the
house oflWang..& Gotham of New Or
leans, was passing along our streets
last Monday, he was struck on tho
neck by a spent bullet, that had
just been discharged from pistol
by one of our city officers at dog
running at large contrary to our
city ordinances. The ball passed
through the dogs body and had
spent its force, fortunately for Mr.
Craft. This is another reason why
the present dog law should be re-
pealed. Will our City Fathers heed
it, or, will they wait till an action
for damages is brought against the
city,

The Barbecue.

One of the largest assemblages
We remember ever to have seen. in
Madison county, gathered at the
Tournament grounds in what is
known as the Wales neighborhood,
ten miles north of Canton, on Fri
day, Odd inst. Mr.. James Wales,
assisted by his neighbors, had pre-
viously made ample arrangements
to entertain and feed the multitude
that assembled; and at an carly hour
all the carcasses (and there were
many of them) were we'll dun and
brown. We visited the pits where
we saw them smoking hot, present
ing an appetizing and inviting ap-
pearance. Before the dinner hour
arrived however, rain came up
which lasted for several hours, com
pelling the visitors to seek and re-
main under shelter of the neighbor-
ing houses, tho wagons, buggies
and other temporary shelters con-
venient. The disappointment to
the visitors in having the dinner de-
lay cd, and the other exercises of
the day otherwise interfered with
was not very serious, for the ram
was God-send to tho good people
of that neIghborhood; their crops
were sadly in need of it, and all felt
n willingness TO forego the momen-
tary pleasures ola day for the sake
of the many DAYS of pleasrre guar
anteed to the good people OF that
neighborhood as the resul. of the
showers of generous rain to the
parched ground and suffering crops
The rain stopped and the clouds dis
persed by o'clock, when dinner
was announced. The appetites of
all were sbarpened, and full jnstice
was done to the bountiful repnst.
After dinner r. B. Campbell Esq,
the orator of the day, was introdnc-
ed, and entertained his hearers for
half an hour in an able and we'll de-
livered address, which our readers
will find elsewhere in our columns,
and to which we invite their atten-
ton with the assurance that it will
we'll repay perusal. After the adj
dress the crowd dispe rsed for home.
Canton was largely represented,
and we have heard but one opinion
and that is, our worthy
friend James Wales AMI his good

cue, and how to make their friends
happy. We return thanks to our

There Is a row in the Radical
camp, Chas. Montgomery Esq, J..
P, at Madison Station, on Tuesday
last issued warrant for the arrest
of David Pingrce Circuit Clerk and
E. S. Jeffrey Chancery Clerk, cbarg-
ing them with violating the statute
in this, that they practiced law, also
s. II. H. Toles, Assessor charging
him with perjury, in this, that he
swore falsely as the bonds,nan of
one Pippins, who was committed to
Jail by said Montgomery. The old
nick is 10 pay. The white officials
are indignant at Montgomery's
measure, while Toles
says he regrets that his party is
cursed with such officials as Mont
gomery. This looks like the ket-
tie calling the pot black.
Since the above was put in type
the Constable from Montgrmery's
court started on Wednesdays train
For Madison Staff on with his priso-
hers. When the conductor called
ar railroad fare, Pingree and JEFF
icy plead that they were under ar
ret and refused to pay. The con-
stale hadn't the money to pay tor
thet, 80 the conductor put the pris-
oneroff the. train. We wonder if
Aontsmery..won't ISSUE a warrant,
now, aainst the railroad for CEN

In reply to the above we say, in
all sincerity, that it is not our de-
sire to do Capt PostelI Injustice.
Gu: article of the Oath was prompt
ed more by spirit of regret than
by disposition to harshly con-
denim. We must believe tha Capt.
Postell has done himself and his
friends great injustice by his course
in signing Beauchamp's certi 6cate.
We further think, in justf6 cation
Of himself and for the satisfaction
of his many friends of whom we
were proud to feel ourself one, that
he should give his reasons. Until
these reasons are given we have no
way to discover the error of our
opinions. When we are fully in
formed, if we find we are in error,
we will hasten to make the necessa
ry amende.

forty tons, and that a much smaller q,lanti-
ty was stored by the Steamship company.
such is the case, there can be little doubt
that the loss of fruit will be made good by
them, on the grounds that their par. of the
contract was not fulfilled. The speculatons
OF some growers about the failure has led to
one very unreasonable conclusion, viz the
assertion that the peaches were purposely
allowed to perish so that the mass Of ship
pers might be mslcd and few mono police
the subsequent trade. This supposition Us
not at all plausible. The cause of the fail
ure was evidently miscalculation on the
part of the Steamship company as to the
'amot n of ice necessary. There is scare .ly
Delawarean who ia not anxious to see tie
experiment repeated in the Steamship Penn
sy]vi MIA, which goes out on the 18th of this
month. The time is short, however, and es
there is considerable risk and our peach
growers have lost enough money already in
the home markets, 1t is not likely to be st.
tempted.
