Gov. Porter, Of Tennessee, said the other dav.
in conversation co corning the Civil Rights bill:
1t was enacted not to benefit the negro, but to
bring about strife and bloodshed that the Repub-
lican party might wade through human gore to
success in 1876. That party proposed to make a
sacrifice of the poor Black man that it might lie
continued III power. But the Southern people
ought not to permit themselves to be cntrapped
and made the instruments by which that party
might be perpetuated. Though this unc0nstltu-
tional nlon4trosity may be hard to bear. vet We
should foil the Republican leaders in their scheme
by doing just what they did not intend for Us to
do-to commit no acts of violence upon any citi-
zen. We should hlalntain peace and dignity
that will not only cal forth the admiration Of the
American people, but contribute to the over
defeat Of the Republican party in 1876.

Spirit RRpping in the Conn ~.

About the fifth Of last March, a mys-
terious wrapping began to be heard at
the residence of John Griffin in Bartlett's
Precinct, and it continued at intervals I'M
til about the first Of May, when it ceased,
and made its appearance at the house Of
widow, Mrs. Roach, in the neighbour
hood. The whole country round focked
in to see, or rather to hear it. Conversa-
tons were had with it; questions were
asked i;it sounded raps for yes" and re-
manned silent for "no." 1t claimed to be
the spirit of Mr.. Grifiin's daughter Har-
riett, who died in Tennessee before the
family moved here, and said it wanted to
communicate with its sister Julia "a living
daughter of Mr.. Grifiin's, about thirteen
years old. 1t said Julia would not live
year. Julia refused to have anything to
say Or do with the mysterious stranger,
or spirit. All efforts TO detect any decep-
ton, or connect any mortal with having
anythin to do with the raps were fruitless.

EDITOR HERALD: Quite a melancholy
incident occurred about five miles north
of here, on last Tuesday evening, which
has cast gloom over the entire commu-
nifty.
The wife of Mr.. Frank Halves, with
two of her children, was visiting Mrs.
Tr ecie Turns, and about o'clock on the
evening mentioned, a cloud came over
accompanied by thunder and lightning,
when bolt struck and descended the
chimney Of Mrs. Turns house. Mrs.
Halves was standing near the fireplace,
leaning against the wall, engaged in con-
versation with Mrs. T. and her daughter
The lightning bolt struck her on the right
side, passed down her body, setting her
clothing on fire, and bursting the shoe on
her right foot into fragments 1t then
passed through the floor into the ground
One of her children standing near was
stunned by the shock, and did not recov-
er consciousness until about midnight
Mrs. Turns and daughter were both
thrown to the floor, but suffered no bodily
injury. The death of Mrs. Halves was
instantaneous. Thus in the twinkling of
an eye soul was hurried into eternity, a
fond husband was deprived of an affec-
tionate and true-hearted wife, helpless
family Of four small children of kind
and indulgent mother, the greatest boon
of all our possessions The earnest sym
pathies of kindred and friends follow the
bereaved husband and children.

QUITE STORM.
Since my last communication, we have
been visited by one of the most terrific
storms of wind and rain, that is remem>
bered by the Oldest citizens of the vicini-
ty. Standing in the yard of Mr.. John
Caubin, Mr. John Benton counted more
than eighty trees Frustrated by the wind.
Mr.. Robert Blevin had his stable blown
over. The barn of Mr.. David Sheldon.
built of white oak logs. 20 by % feet,
the small ends of the logs averaging a
foot in width, was blown down. The
franc of Mr.. Sauntry's house was blown
down and the stills thrown off the pillars.
Old Boreas was on terrible high, and
bent on mischief He grappled the huge
monarchs of the forest and hurled them
to the ground, then sped on his way
bowling in his madness to seek other
victims npon which to vent his rage.
Fences were lifted from their places and
the rails scattcrd ard carried off like
straws. Some of our beaux and fair bells
were caught on their way from preach
ing in the country. but fortunately found
shelter from the fury Of the storm. After
the rain was over, they resumed their
now weary march to town with dripping,
draggled calic-clothes and with their
devotional arder dampened
