We have been selling some of these Fertilizers

AS every Fertilizer made manages to procn re

by the farmers to be far below the standard, and
in many instances almost worthless, we do not
adopt the usual plan of gathering IN certificates

tleman Of that place is going to do it f It
$4,000. Mr.. Hambleton having shown
them how he would do it, they agreed I'll It
he should have the contract, and then,
Staunton-like, they went back on their
agreement and gave it to some one who
had brains enough to avail himself Of MI.
Hambleton's disclosed information. We
would like to go to Staunton. The only
redeeming feature it possesses is good,
reliable graveyard and first-class lunatic
asylum, The latter has serious fault
though; it's walls don't go around the
town. Baltimore Bulletin.
The facts are these: Mr.. F. I'll. Handle
Of Baltimore, did not give his experience
for nothing. He agreed that il he got the
contract to charge nothing for his plans
and show he would do it," but if he did
mot get it, to charge $1,000 for what he
knew as giyen. The Council adopted his
plang but not his bid, and appropriated
S2, coo to pay him, which he will receive as
soon as lie sends in the working plans.
Mr.. HambIeton would have given the
Bulletin this information if it had en-
terprise enough to 60 round the corner to
him. AS far as Baltimore is concerned,
we doubt not it would be better off if the
editor of the Bulletin" was in lunatic
asylum some lunatics III our
asylum could give Baltimoreans more
correct information on many subjects.

rolled down the hill into the hollow, and
that he was dead when he reached the bot

rolled down over the weeds and brush and
| we went mp the Path made by his descent
to where he had started from, which WAS
at the foot of large chestnut tree. Upon
examining the tree, we found that it had
been struck by lightning, and it appeared
us il Bfnin had been laying down by it
when it was struck. There was Il very
vivid fash of lightning and heavy pea! of
thunder on Friday evening, close to my
residence, and some men WHO were at work
in the field said that it had struck some
timber in that direction, and when they
was S. abe about the place Where the liehtnina
had struck down that evening. There
was no mark on the outside of tine bear, and

JACKSON. April 70, 1875.
Yesterday at half-past two
o'clock, a great commotion was
caused among tho colorcd people.
by the killing of james Williams,
colored Treasurer of Kinds county
by Tazwell Jones, also colored, and
u prominent politician.
II was a sort of Dcechcr- Triton
affair, of long standing. Williams
playing the role OF I}eccher; true
inwardncss had existed between
Mrs. Jones aud Williams for two
years or longer, Jones had discov-
cred the fact and kicked up.
Yesterday Jones met Williams
near where Jones' Mife now lives,
a little out Of town, walking slow
~. Jones took another route, e,ar-
rived ahead OF him, took a position
where Williams would be sure to
pass, and said to asfricnd he was
waiting there to kill jim Williams.
Soon after Williams camc along
in sight on the next street. Jones
walked on, intercepting him ut tho
next corner, and accosted him.
What passed is not clearly known,
as few persons were on the street
and none near enough to hear.
Jones was seen to strike at Will
liams with something; Williams
turned and ran in the direction Of
a group Of men, some distance off.
He stumbled and fell. Jones was
on him in an instant, striking him
twice in the buck with q long
bowie knife. Williams rose and
ran again, Jones still pursuing.
Williams reached the group and
again fell. Jones at him again,
stnbbing him with his terrible
knife, and Saying. "Yon say my
wife beglons - you, do yon.' Will
liaAns was literally buthered, and
after gasping . few minutes, died.
