The Walsh Turbine Wheel.

The new wheel manufactured by Rab-
lin Bros. & Paterick known as the
Walsh Turbine is destined an&6ubted-
ly, to supersede all others in use, until
better shall have been invented.
The merits of the Walsh wheel are
many fold. It utilities all the water.
From a limited volume of water great
er power can be generated than by any
other wheel manufactured. The wheel
is in two sections with the gate so ar-
ranged within the frame work of the
wheel as to allow of the use of one
section with a small quantity of water,
or of both sections comprising the
whole whe ell, if the saving of water is
not dcsideratum. When the gate is
closed, not particle Of water is vast
ed, fact which viii commend the
wheel to mill owners upon small
streams, Mr.. Paterick has made per-
ceptible improvements in the mechah-
ism of the original invention which he
intends Immediately to patent The
firm is largely engaged in, the manu-
facture of these wheels which are fast
coming to be known to the mcnutac-
turing world, and scarcely day pass
es that orders are not received for one
Or more. They will soon be prepared
to meet all demands.

rightful title to the property occupied
by Mr.. Cartwright. The case has
been carried from circuit to circuit, till
decision had been rendered adverse
to Mr. Courtwright's interests. On
Monday last Sheriff Baker with Mr..
Dan. Cameron, the Assistant Marshal
of Stevens Point, repaired to the prem
Tres to serve writ Of ejectment. The
officer swere met by Mr. G and his wife,
as we are informed, who told them that
any attempt to serve the process would
result in death 10 the parties serving,
the gate and entrance way to the house
in the meantime having been securely
nailed by Mr.. G. The officers never
theless proceeded in the discharge of
their duties, when Mr.. G. fired upon
Sheriff Baker, the charge taking effect
In his bowels. Mr. Cameron also re
ceiVed several buckshot in the face and
head. The wounds proved fatal to
both parties. 1t is reported that Mrs.
G. had kettles Of boiling water upon
the stove for an emergency and was
armed with a revolver. In discharg-
ing the revolver she lost finger and
wounded one OF the chill dren in the
feet. After killing the officers the
parties escaped through the rear of the
building, to the woods but were arrest
ed and taken to the jail at the Point.
The greatest excitement prevailed,
and threats Of resorting to lynch law
it is feared will be carried into execu-
ton. It is a sad affair. It is to be
hoped that the better judgment Of the
people will discountenance any resort
to violence by an Infatuated mob. Mr..
Baker was buried this morning by the
Masonic fraternity of whom he was an
exemplary member.

The recent experiment made at
our sister city Of Stevens Point to sup
ply the Steamer with water from two
drive wells has proved a big success.
A continuous stream through an inch
and half nozzle was thrown one hun
dred and eighty feet (if we remember
correctly for three quarters Of an
hour. Two drive pumps thirty feet
apart, furnish this immense volume
of water, having been united by an ex-
ira section of hose 1t is perfectly
plain, since the experiment has been
made, that the NEST powerful steamer
can not exhaust the never ending sup
ply Of water from the g, eat arterial
system of subterranean water cIrcula-
ton. The fact can be partially dem
onstrated in every dwelling supplied
with drive pump. The most rapid
pumping, seems only to create great
er volume of fowage, occasioned by
the creation OF a vacuum in the pipe,
which nature seeks to destroy by a
never ceasing energy, thrusting the
water forward with rapidity proper
Tomato to the effort made to create it.
Verify, Nature abhors vacuum. The
expense Of sinking the wells is merely
nominal, being only about $50 each.
The experiment comes little too late
for us to profit by, for our reservoirs,
like the dutchman's balky horse, are
''rjgt there,'' but then we can use
them for ballot boxes, or to stow away
drunken Indians in.

Our School. in duty bound,
| (and every parent in the district ought
so to feel, J we visited our school last
week, twice, now under the supervi-
sion Of Prof. Stewart as Principal.
We walked in as any visitor ought,
without ceremony, without knocking,
taking the first vacant seat we came to,
Hooked on, noted this and that, and re-
tired when we were ready so to do.
By so doing we did not disturb the pu-
pills, neither did we take the teacher
from his regular duties. We felt that
the school was ''ourS" and that we had
a right there, and so we advise all in
terested (and we all are, Or ought to
be) to go and do likewise. Your
presence will encourage alike the pu-
pills and teachers. 1t is a duty you
owe your children->it is duty you
owe yourself and your Principal.
Mr.. Stewart is our servant, your
servant, and he invites, as a faithful
Stea0art should, inspection of his work.
If you nad one or more head Of cattle
or choice fowls such as ere have (three
for $95, } and you had man hired to
take the charge Of them, would you
not look after them? Verify you
I would. Are not your children better
than many fowls? Out upon such foul
inconsistency! Well, we began to tell
fact, and we have drifted away into
q sort Of logico-argumento-rea
ing dissertation. we visited the school
last week, going into its several apart
mentS. We found the PRINCIPALLY
room full Of studious pupils attending
to business. There was no play, no
confusion, no ''shines - it was bust
ness, systematised business. Mr.. S.
is proving himself a rare educator.
Miss Grace is doing remarkably well
as Assistant. In the lower depart
ments, we found Miss Fannie Baker
in the intermediate Department, alive
to the fact that some seventy little
heads had ideas, and that she was
there to teach them bow to shoot.
Miss Fanny Is doing ezcellentl7 well.

most terrible accident last Monday.

Monday he took his gun with him.
In setting the gun down in the corner
of one of the rooms, a board in some

from overhead, struck the lock, dis
charging the gun and sending the
whole charge upward through his hat
rim, several grazing his cheek. It was
Ia narrow escape.

With Him.

with Him.
The good citizens of Rutherford county,
like the people of this community, have
suffered by the operations Of thieves
Especially has this been the case in the
n~eighbOrhOOd Of Florence Station, on the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail
way. Nearly every farmer in the sur
rounding country has had COWS, sheep, and
hogs spirited away under cover Of the
night. \ number of warrants were sworn
out against a negro named Wat Wade, Hv-
ing near Florence StstiOn. Wat was aware
that the officers Of the law would like to
get hold of his carcass, and sWOre he would
be arrested by no living man. Last Thurs
day constable Zach. Peay started out 70
serve a warrant on Wat and bring
MIN before the law. When he came up
with Wat he found him in a field with a
dOuble-barreled shot gun, pretending to be
out hunting. Knowing that the negro had
vowed not TO be arrested, he resOrted to
strategy. Remarking that the gun was a
very fine one he asked Wat to let him eX-
anime il. But the darkey sUspecting his
object, made some slight excuse and held
on to the GUN. Constable Peay, not to be
outdOne, proposed to buy the gun, and Of
fered a sum for it that the negro at once
agreed 10 take. The constable insisted
that be should have possession Of the gun
before he paid the money, and the darkey
handed it to him. Once in his hands, he
told Wat to consider himself IN
der arrest, and marched him
of 10 the house Of Justice Baskette. At
the preliminary examination the evidence
against the prisoner was such that the
magistrate decided to send him to Jail to
await trial before the Criminal Court.
Constable Peay and B. Z. Swayne accord
ingly started for MuTfreesbOrO with Wade
under their charge After they had gone a
distance of about four miles, Wade COM
planned that the pike hurt his feet, and
said that he could walk no further. he
was then told to walk on the grass on the
road side. Stepping TO One side, he jumped
over the fence and darted of drought the
woods. As he made off several shots were
fred at him but without effect. Constable
Peay made his OrsejUmpt the fence, andpur-
sued Wade for nearly halfa mile. He came
very near to him while Wade was in the
act of getting over a fence, and fired a couple
of shots at the runaway. This emptied
the chamber Of his revolver and he was
left pOwerless, and Wade, quietly telling
the Constable that he had a great mind to
knock him off his horse with a rock, went
on his way rejoicing, leaving the officer to
return home and tell the tale of his es-
cape.
