APrOfesSOr's Dinner.

A gentleman who, from his appearance,
was supposed to be Professor in the
South Carrollton Male and Female In
stitute, was passengea on the down train
of the l.. p and S. w. r. Il. last Satur-
day, and stopped at Wildwood to take din
ner with mine host, III. X. Wells. He
was very hungry, and having a better
dinner before him than he was used to,
and having only short time to eat, he
was working away at full capacity; but
in his hurry ard greed he upset his plate,
which went rolling and spinning around
on the floor, depositing its overload OF
beans, potatoes, beets, peas, meats, but
ter, &c, &c., at different places around
the room. The plate proved to be good
metal, for the force brought to bear upon
it by our friend scooted it clear across a
twenty foot dining-room, but did not
break or even crack it. 1t will take a
keg of soap and two weeks washing to
get the grease out of the Professor {
clothes, and that dining-room floor is
ruined.

Mr. Thos. S Duke, living in the subs
urbs of town, brought to our office this
week a green oat stalk, grown on his
premises, which was four and one-half
feet high, and the head was fifteen inches
long and very heavy.
Mr.. A. i. Morton showed us some
heads Of wheat, grown on his farm near
town, that were very fine and heavy. 1t
was the white Boden wheat. We are
satisfied that the yield of wheat in this
county is very fair average, and the
acreage is larger than we have ever known
it in the county.

Miss PcytOn's School.

We had the pleasure on Wednesday
last OF visiting the school at Alexander
school house, taught by Miss Sallie Pey-
ton. She has several young lady stu
dents, and they have advanced very rap
idly during the two sessions taught by
her. The little fellows only five and six
years old, that began at A B c last fall,
are now reading very well in the Second
and Third Readers. The scholars all
love their teacher devotedly, and the
school has been a success. Miss Sallie
has no superior and but few equals as a
teacher, and the patrons of the school
we're quite fortunate in securing the serv-
ices of such an estimable and efficient
Young Lady 10 teach for them.

History Of the Fatal keg of
Rr;ludlH

Some time last winter, the stage
between Beaver Dam and Hartford lost a
keg of brandy, that was being hauled in
for Mr. J. F. Collins. 1t seems that d.
s. Stevens, better known as "Dock." Ste
vens, found it and appropriated it to his
own use. 1t, however, leaked out on HIM
1--WE don't mean the brandy leaked out on
him, for it leaked out into him. and
Messrs Vaugbt & Hudson, proprietors of
the stage line, sued Dock and obtained a
Judgment for the value of the brandy. The
grand jury of the county got wind of the
matter, and found true bill for grand
larceny against him, and he was arrested
and lodged ia Jail, but was finally re-
leased on bail.
The proof in the suit OF Messrs Vaught
a. Hudson disclosed the fact that he
had been paying some men for work
with some of the brandy, and the U. S.
Marshal hearing of this, sent Deputy John
Wyatt down and arrested Dock for SELL
ing brandy without license. He was
taken before U. S. Commissioner G. C.
Wedding, and held for further trial, and
failing to give bail, was lodged in Jail,
where he now remains.
On last Saturday evening the key of
brandy was taken from under the floor of
Dock. Stevens house, occupied by Mrs.
Tyro. Dock. Stevens swore out a war
rant against Daniel Hines, of color,
charging him with the theft. Mr.. E. L.
Wise, jailer, took the warrant and went
out Monday night and arrested Dan. and
lodged him in Jail until morning, when
he took him before Judge w. F. Greg
DRY, who set the trial for to-day at ten
o'clock, and held the prisoner under bail
of one hundred dollars. Failing to give
it, he was remanded to jail.
We would be afraid to even smell of
this brandy, for fear we would 60 to steal
ing. 1t must be the double-distilled
essence oflarceny boiled down until it is
very strong.

1t has been raining here great deal
during the past week. Rough Creek is
bank-full, and fears are entertained that
all the bottom lands will be overfowed.
Crops in the bottom lands are almost
ruined and the hillsides are washed very
badly. The wheat, which is about ready
for harvesting, has been damaged some
by the rains, and if it continues this wet
a few days longer, it will be seriously
injured.

SHOCKING CASUALTY.
4 Promising Young Wan Drowned
i'm the Waters Of Rough.

~ INV w VI hsooSts
On Thursday last, Immediately after
dinner, our community was inexpressi,
bly, shocked by the intelligence, which
spread rapidly through the town, that
young Bascom Cundifi, the eldest son OF
Rev. DIR. Cundiff, pastor of the NJ. E.
church, South, ofthis place, was drowned
in Rough creek while bathing. But a
few minutes before he had been seen
upon the streets, and was in our office,
and at first the rumor of his death was
received by many with incredibly. But
all doubts were soon put to rest. 1t APP
pears that when he left our office, on his
way to school, he met two schoolmates,
Clinton Field and Henry McITenry, who
proposed going down to the creek for a
bath. lie went with them, and they en-
tered the creek near the mouth of the
slough back Of Mrs Bette Rowe's house,
and above the saw-mill of Potter & Con-
dict. Young Field and McHenry swan
across the stream, and Cundif, who
could not swim, dropped himself into the
water at the head of a raft of logs, hold
ing on TO the latter with his hands. The
water was very swift, and, at that point,
more than twenty feet in depth. From
the appearance of the body, the position
Of his limbs when found, it is very evi.
dent that he was seized with cramp, as
his arms and legs were both contracted
as with spasm, and had to he Strengthened
and tied to keep them in place. He made
no cutlery, and his companions were not
aware of his peril until they looked
around and saw his hands above the
water making motions as though clutch
ing for something. He was swept under
the raft, and when they swan as quickly
as they could to the place of course no
vestige Of the unfortunate young man was
to be seen anywhere. Many persons en-
gagged unsuccessfully in the search for the
body up to nightfall. Early Friday morn
ing the search was again resumed, and
about halfpast ten o'clock Messrs. jesse
Potter, AL. Nall, VIM. Mauzy and VIM.
Griffin (of color) found the body, about
fifty yards below where the drowning oc>
CURED. Mr. Potter made the discovery,
feeling it with a stick, and the colored
man dived down and brought it up. The
funeral and burial occurred at five
o clock that evening.
This was a deplorable event, and the
bereavod parents have the heartfelt sym.
pathIes Of the entire community. Bascom
was some eighteen or nineteen years of
age, and was one of the most promising
young men of our acquaintance. Gifted
10y nature with rare intelligence, a splen-
did scholar for his age, modest as girl,
and gentle in his department, conspicuous
for his morality and uprightness, he was
a favorite with every one, and babe fair
in after years of becoming an honor to
the State as well as an ornament to So
ciety. But it was fated that he should
be cut off in the morning of life, and
Death, remorseless and insatiate, passed
over half dozen men in the community
whom we could have spared and suffered
no loss, to strike down the youngest, fair
est and most promising vine in the vine-
yard

The barbecue at Hines Mills on last
Saturday was rather slimly attended, on
account, no doubt, of the inclemency Il
the weather. 1t rained good part OF
the day, and Col. o. p. johnson declined
speaking in consequence. Il. P. Hooker,
candidate for the Legislature, made a
short speech, in substance about the
same as the one made at Cromwell, after
which George c. Wedding announced
himself as a candidate for the same po-

little more lively from this on.

FataIRailrOad Accident.

Last Thursday night, at Big Clifty sta-
ton, in Grayson county, on the Louis
vile and Southwestern railroad, young
man, brakesman on freight train,
while attempting to couple cars, was
nocked down and ran over by portion
of the train. He fell lengthwise of the
rail, and his body was fairly split in two.
Our informant has forgotten the unfortu,
nate young mans name, but learned that
he was from Minnesota, and had not been
long in the employ of the company.
