only instruction given by the Judge was,
that II the jury believed the complainant to
have been drunk, then tho officer had o right
70 arrest him on sight, and without q war
rant, and they must ind for the defendant,
but II they found him not to have been
DRUNK, then they must 6nd for the plain
tin. The jury stood ten for conviction and

A Shower of Flesh.
MAXWELL.

A gentleman writing from Gastonia,
N. G., under date of the 30th ult. gives
an account of truly wonderful occur
renee. He states that shower of
flesh-genuine, unmistakable flesh
fell in sight of Gastonia, CASTOR county
on the farm Of Mr.. James NJ. Hanna.
The circumstances, so far as they can
be gathered from the letter alluded to,
and from the statements of those who
witnessed the phenomenon, are as
follows: Saturday afternoon, about 8
o'clock, while Mr.. James NJ. Hanna
and some Of his little grand children
were picking cotton in fold near his
house, they were astonished at the
sight Of small pieces Of flesh falling all
around them. The shower continued
for some time, and when it ceased it
was discovered that the flesh was scat
tered over an area of about half an
acre of ground. The pieces varied
from half an ounce to an ounce in
weight. In the words of our CORES
pOuueut, tHe SIOAHu was uOI cOVeTu,
but the flesh fell like light hail" In
appearance it is described as resembling
beef, part Of it being filled with small
sinews, but in no piece were bones or
fatty matter found. When it fell it
had the appearance and odor Of fresh
meat, but the pieces sent us for In
spection are almost entirely odorless
and resemble dried beef. 1t may be
added tiat the weather was perfectly
calm at the time of the shower, and
that there has been no storm or heavy
wind in that section for several weeks.
The occurrence created much excite
ment in the neighborhood, and our in
formant says that many persons visited
the field and obtained pieces of the
strange flesh. Several physicians in
the neighborhood secured portions of
it with view to examination, but thus
far the results of their investigations
have not been reported. The speci-
men in our possession is about three
quarters of an inch in length and less
than an inch in width.

stration in charge. But members of
the rival association refused to coop.

Democrats demonstrated against it as
likely to lead to breach of the peace.
For long while the jealous members
refused tois entertain objections, but
finally yielded to what appeared to be
a pretty universal sentiment against it.
There was a vague, ill-defned feeling
that it would makostrouble; and there
is, [ believe, good ground for the quite
prevalent belief that the Government
was in possession of information in
connection with the proposed celebra-
ton, that justified all the precautionary
measures that have been taken.

said that he is Tilden'a preference and
that Hewitt will labor for him. Ran.

that Cox is the most, and Saylor the

jobbers and lobbyists are rapidly filling

feeling that stormy session-quite
