arc asserting everywhere That The Demo

lis accession to power by discharging n
large number OF disabled Union soldiers
from its employment, and in their pln-

who were here during the former Con-

Shooting ARRAY.

We regret to learn of a most unfor-
tunate personal difficulty between Dr.
S. X. Coleman and Mr. John Hill, both of
Sharon (this County, in which the latter
was very seriously, if not fatally wounded.
The sad occurrence took place just after the
close of the performance given by the
Sharon Dramatic Club on Wednesday night
last, and arose we understand, from some
dispute about All account clIined by Mr..
Hill to be due hiIn. The information which
we can gather, leads to SO many different
conclusions that we will not publish any
statement of the circumstances until a
judicial invest gation settles the question
of who is to blame. 1t is now rumored on
the streets that Mr.. Hill is dead we hope
this is not true. The saddest feature of the
transaction was the presence of Sir. HIPS
wife and child at the scene of shooting
LArER.-We are glad to hear Mr.. Hills
L fe is not despaired of.
