 whiskey traffic. The object of the law will certainly be thwarted if drug stores are made the means of supplying the frenzying cup. And if doctors and druggists have due respect for the wishes and well fare of the people, they will try to substitute some other prescription for whiskey. If so, there won't be half so many sick CD men.
 Prom Mr. Riley Lee and J. x. Coffee Newton county, we learn that desperate shooting atfray oc- cured near Richland in Newton county, last Saturday morning. The actors in the fatal affair were two brothers, Richard and Lewis Meeks, and Coon Ross and brother. Richard Meeks was shot through the heart and instantly killed; Lew is was badly wounded. There had been an old grudge existing for :t long time. The Ross brothers fled and are still at large.
 FIRE AT WALDRoN.-We learn that on the night of the 1Gth inst, the little town of Waldron, Scott county, was the scene of destruc- tive conilagration. One drug store and four other stores were burned and the stocks almost q total loss without any insurance whatever. The loss will reach about S25, ,000. The fire is thought to have been the work of incendiaries. If so, and they can be caught and convicted they should receive the utmost pcn- alty of the law.
 TAKE THE PAPER, AND You'll KNow.-Every day we have num- bers of men ask us, "Who are candi- dates 7" Of course it is always q pleasure to convey to any inquirer such information as he may ask, but we suggest that if every citizen in the county will subscribe for their county paper-the Russellville Dl M- oCRAT-they will know, not only who are candidates, but they will know hundreds of other things which they ought to know-and all for the small sum of one dollar and fifty cents per year.
 ANOTHER HoUsE BuRNED.-We regret to learn that MT. Cicero Harkey, who lives some five miles south east of here had the sad mis- fortune to get his house and con- tents burned to the ground last Sun day. The family were absent and the house and entire contents were total loss. The meat was saved before the smoke house burned. The cause of the fire is unknown. Mr. Harkey had just completed q new house and the loss falls very heavy on him. We are pleased to know that q liberal subscription was raised for his relief.
 -HoUsE BURNED.-On last Thurs day night Mir. Jno. C. Mickey had the great misfortune to get his house burned to the ground. The fire oc- cured about half past ten o'clock and Mir. Mickey says he has no idea how it could have originated. He had just got to sleep, and when awakened did all in his power tG save the house but without any avail. The family escaped without saving q single thing but their night clothes. MT. McKey's friends i'm. mediately went to work and soon secured some friendly contribution, which were very acceptable under the distressing circumstances.

---Franklin's statue in Printing House Square, New York, is one of the most demure looking objects in the world, yet for all that it was recently caught casting admiring giances at pretty girl; for which it wasn't really so much to blame as she not only had most charming face but was most tastily and be- witchingly arrayed in becoming garments made after the celebrated "Domesitc Paper Fashions"

From Atkins,

To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 In writing up the improve ments progressive and prospect i've of our town in my last, I fail ed to note the rapid approach to completion of Ford & Bost's mill. NIT. D. NJ. Mourning has just re- turned from the cast where he went to purchase the machinery. It is the intention of the gentle manly and enterprising owners to spare neither pains nor money to make their mill in every partic- ular first class. It is want long and sadly felt by our community at large and much credit is due Messrs. F. & B. for their enter prising spirit. We need more of this character among us. A GOOD JOhE
 A few days since gentleman or our town attended pic nic and wedding some distance in the country, taking with him his lit tie son, a bright fellow of some five summers. On their return in the afternoon the following dia- logue ensued between the young hopeful and his mother:
 "Well - did you go to the pie nic?"
 '"Yes ma'm."
 Did you sec the bride"
 "Ycs, man."
 "Was she pretty?"'
 "Yes'm, but she wasn't nigh as pretty as the girl papa kissed"
 It is needless to add that all ln- terogations here abruptly ceased, and . shadow dwelt over this household for week.
 There is a petition being nu- merously signed asking of the Rev. Mr. Simms a visit 10 our town for the purpose of holding one of his revivals of religion in our midst during the coming sum- mer.
 PERSONAL.
 We were honored with visit from our genial friend R. B. Ho- gins. We always appreciate a visit from Reese, but this time he came clothed with a little too much of the official" and check | ed cur appreciation of this visit. He only had "business" with five this time telling them that Judge Mansfield s.would meet them at Dover on the 23d inst.
 Messrs. Russell and Quinn were also among last weeks visitors. Come again, boys, during water melon time, and we will tell you our man for sheriff.
 Our base ballists were out en- masse this evening. Some of them looked every inch athletes in tllelr new suits. More anon,

as soon as he discovered their absence, sum.
moncd his forces and made thorough search
all through Northern Vermont till Friday
p. M, without getting any clue to their
whereabouts, but they found a man in Stans-
toad who had had his pocketbook together
with a small amount Of money and a silver
watch and chain stolen little while before
johnson made bis appearance in st. Johns
bury. This watch was taken from him when
he was put in Jail, and the sheriff took it
with him 10 his search. The man fully iden-
titled the watch as the one taken from his
house that night. A little while after that
he attempted TO break into a house at
Charleston, but was frightened away. We
are thankful that the rascal is tethered, and
we predict that he will be mewed up at
Windsor and have plenty Of time to learn a
trade.
