that the 'article having been specially
selected for the defendant, set apart for
him and marked with his name, and all
with his knowledge, and nothing remain
ing to be done except that he should pay
the agreed price, no further act was need
ed to vest the title in him. subject to plain

Another GlacinE Outrage.

NICKsBUEG, MISS. Jan 49, Major Geo.
E. Head, with squad of Federal troops
with fixed bayonets, acting, it is said,
under orders from Gen. Emory, to-day en-
tered the Sheriff's Office here and torcibly
elected the Sheriff, A. j. Flanagan, who
was in possession by virtue Of the recent
election, about the validity Of which there
is Constitutional question. His right to
the office has not, however, been ques-
toned by any legal proceedings. The
military appear to have acted upon mill
tary orders alone. Major Head reported
his action to Chancellor Hill. who was
holding court in an adjacent room, by
whom the action of the military was
countenanced and seemingly approved.
Sheriff Flanagan also reported the facts
to Chancellor Hill, and appealed to the
Court to protect him in the discharge
Of his duties, which request was refused
Chancellor appointed W. II. McGhee sher-
if pro TEN, and he was placed in posses
sion of the office by the military Nc
Ghee is white, is Republican, and was
Deputy under Sheriff Crosby. Chancellor
Hill, upon opening the Court two weeks
ago, adjourned it till to-day in order to
determine what course he would take in
regard to the shrievaity. Ine members
Of the bar present protested against the
Courts allowing and apparently APPROX
ing OF military interference with its Off
GERS as violation Of all law and the de
struction OF the civil Government.

Den,h of Elishn Snmram.

Crystal Springs Monitor,l
The sudden death of Elisha Sumrall
on Monday last, and the circumstances
attending it, cast Il gloom over our CON-
munity. Mr.. Snmrall was one of the
most respectable citizens of Copiah coun-
ty, and was much beloved by all who
knew him. The facts concerning his
death, as far as we could learn them, are
somewhat as follows:
It appears that he has son who has.
for some time past, shown some marks of
alteration of mind, and who, in conse-
quence, was rather hard to manage.
This boy is about Is years of age, and is
in the habit of carrying a pistol. He
has been known, on several occasions, TO
draw this weapon threateningly on par
ties who were offensive to him. The
cause of the quarrel between him and his
father, which resulted In the death of
the. latter, was of trivial character.
The father had purchased a new suit of
clothes for the boy, who, for come cause
or other, was displeased with the clothes,
and taking them off of himself presented
them to negro lad of his acquaintance.
For this the father, on Monday morn
ing, resolved to whip him, and taking
him Quito the woods walked off in search
of aswftch No sooner was his back
turned than the son levelled his pistol at
the fathers head and fred. The ball
entered at the base of the skull, on the
back of the head, and lodged against the
frontal bone The father fell and ex-
pired instantly. These are the SUPPOSE
lions concerning the circumstances Of his
death, for no one saw the deed.
In orderto remove suspicion from him
self, the boy then shot hole through
his own hat, and reported that some one
had fred on them both.
This lad who has been guilty of the hor-
rihle crime of numbering his own father.
was an exceedingly bright and precocious
child, and exhibited no bad characters
tics until he was over ten years, Of ace.
Indeed the parents were particularly
proud of their very promising child. and
may, probably, have INDUCED him e it, |
lie too much. His mother died = few
years ago, and il was not permitted her to
be stricken withgfief at this- heart=rend-
ing occurrence. The boy is held as q
prisoner, and viii be placed in the hands
IF the proper authorities to await further
investigation.

The toes are forced into narrow space,

The results are total lack of elasticity

Such man was generally kind to chill

would whistle a chilled lamb into warmth
and life, and would bring in his hat full
of eggs from the barn without breaking
one of them. He found such man
more careful about closing gates, put
