HosTlLlrIEs.-An affray, in which
shot gun, loaded with wheat, played Il
prominent role, occurred near the line be-
tween Fremont and Madison townships, II
few days since. The affair was the result
OF family feud as near as we can learn,
the parties being J. Mcbride and young
man named Van Epps, the son of wild
ow, who is McBridc's sister. Mcbride
was hauling wheat to Winthrop, US it ap-
pears, and the road opposite the Van Epps
place being bad, he proceeded to take
down the fence to go around through a
field Young Van Epps was blowing corn
near, and had gun with him, as he says,
to kill gophers When he saw what Nc
Bride was doing, he approached and told
him to desist, suggesting that he take
down the fence at another point, where
teams had passed through before. Nc
Bride paid no heed to the remonstrance,
and when he had taken down the rails,
mounted his load to pass through. Young
Van Epps thereupon struck the horses
heads with the gun to keep them back,
when Mcbride sprang from the wagon
and dealt the young man two Or three
blows over the head with the butt of his
whip, knocking him down. At this juno
ture the gun went off; whether acciden-
tally or otherwise, it is impossible to say
Mcbride says that when Van Epps arose
to his feet he attempted to shoot him with
the other barrel of the gun, and would
have done so but for the fact that it failed
to 90 off. The trouble, as we are in
formed, arose out of and was aggra-
waited by previous family quarrels, and
might have been avoided. 1t is certainly
not creditable to either party. Mcbride
has filed information against his nephew,
and the case is being tried before Justice

TIE CRoPs.--We may fairly say, after
nearly two weeks of the favorable that sue
ceedcd the "grand wet on the 9th OF July,
that the crops of our county are in good
average condition. There has never been Il
period of equal length more favorable to
growth, of corn especially, and the crop
has made rapid progress. Some of our
farmers say that they never had so good a
stand at this time in the season, and others
bring good reports of all fields, except
those in low localities that were inundated
with the rains What is true of corn is
also true of small grains. Wheat and
oats never looked better, and give prom

brought to our office the other day guam
tity of raspberries of the black cap fam
lily but of size and flavor greatly super

They fairly rival some varieties of black

are positive luxury. They are the pro

bishop Garrett.

The Right Rev. Alexander c. Gar
rett delivered, at st. Matthew's church,
on Sunday, to large congregation,
his first sermon in Dallas. His dis
course was marked by much of the
eloquence and ability for which this
pious and learned divine is so distin-
gushed. The bishop is a very forcible
and polished speaker, an admirable
elocutionist, and the subject matter of
his sermon, the birth of Christ, was
such as might be expected from a mind
enriched by generous store of culture
and heart full of noble and holy i'm
pulses. The simplicity and natural
ness Of bis manner in the pulpit was
in keeping with the dignity Of his
Office, while the impression produced
upon those who heard him for the first
time, was very gratifying to church,
men, and fattering to the bishop, who
enters upon his new field Of labors with
his accustomed zeal and with the best
wishes Of not only the church, but the
community.
