The Vieksburg Tribune,

We take great pleasure in putting this
newspaper on our exchange list and when
we inform our readers that tho veteran, w.
II. McCardle, is its editor, we are sure they
will cordially sympathise with us.
McCardie has all the elements necessary
to great journalist; enthusiasm, energy,
Independence, full information, and long
experience. Under such control, it is not
surprising, that the Tribune has already
taken its place in the front rank of South

At no period of our history-however try.
ing the events of the recent past-was such
O newspaper more needed IN the great
struggle for State rights against Federal
aggression. Grantism has been checked
but it Is preparing under other auspices 10

was fired upon and crippled. He
was then roped and carried TO the

chained the monster and kept him
some hours. but fearing he might
do some damage he was finally
killed. Mr.. Christian brought us
one of the feet with it's hugh taiOns.

insuInr Case .f Unaidcd Pnsruri,io.

ingulnr Case IF Unaidcd ParTuriiion
The following facts are well au-
thenticated. A few weeks ago a
lady of this vicinity had pI ocured a
single duck egg, of the Poland
species. Having chicken hen
then hatch ing a nest of turkey eggs,
the duck egg was placed under her
care. 1t SO happened that the hen
came off with her brood OF young
turkeys some twelve days before
the necessary tine had elapsed for
the Matching Of the duck egg. Uav-
ing no other fowl to whom the duck
egg could be committed, of course
it was given up by the lady as a
bad egg, and abandoned to its fate,
1t was, how yer, left in the nest.
and no further thought or attention
given to it, until last Monday even
ing, when the lady's attention was
attracted by the noise of very
young fowl proceeding from the
direction of the old nest. On re-
pairing to tho spot her surprise may
be imagined to find that a full
fledged little duckfing had, unaided,
worked it's way out of the abandon
ed egg. We IRE personally cogno-
zant of the above facts, and can
vouch for their exact truth. We
have seen the little duck, and it is
alive and hearty at this writing and
bids fair to be able to paddle its own
canoe, or at least to do some lively
swimming if it fall overboard.-

On Thursday afternoon our community
were startled by the report that George w.
Matthews, an engineer on the freight train
from AfcComb City, which had just reached
the depot, was morta l. wounded by pis-
toll shot by the hand of Capt. James A.
Turk. The wou..ded man fingered until
20 O'Clock, when death relieved him from
his susferings. His wife and infant reached
here at o'clock-about two hours before
he ceased to breathe, and Friday morning
all returned to their desolate home. MIR.
Matthews was from GAINESVILLE, Chic, and
seems to have won the confidence of his
employers, and the respect of all who
knew him. Tho case is undergoing inves-
tigation before Mayor Powell, but on going
to press, the result remains unknown.
