EAsED:-A China boy may be bright
enough 10 learn to talk English intelll
acuteuess in other directions, as tie
small occurrence which We about to re-
late will demonstrate. Last evening there
came into Willis dros stone two persons
o, Chinese birth. One of these was =
man Of adult years and pock-marked
face The other was lad OF sixteen or
.le.eayout. The younger one Of the
twain acted rs spokesman and interprs-
ter. He was clean, bright-looking lad,
with innocence stamped upon his fair
young cheek, aul a generic appearance
as OF having the skin drawn too light
across his eye-openlpgs to shut the Ids
with due ease and comfort. He asked
Nj. Willis, who was fondly licking the
back side Of jalap-label, if he had any
dog medicine Willis said he had, aud
then inquired II the lad what was the
matte. with his dog. The boy replied
that he did not own the dog himself. but
that his older companion had that fe!lc-
ity He added. however, that he wanted
to get some medicine that wo1ld make
the dog learn to mind. Willis looked
incredulous, as if he did not believe his
own hearing; but the lad looked as Sc
rious as a head mourner, and repeated
his want il the plainest and most unlnls-
taxable English. Somebody, who had
plenty Of time to spare, had been delui-
ing that young Chinaman, and lie. IL
turn. had got his solemn looking com
panlon TO believe that his little stock
and store Of English had put him il
possession of a pharmaceutical treat
ment which would operate Oh dog as
magically as RaTey' treatment did upon
refractory horses. The pair left the
drug store evidently OF the opinion that
Willis did not know his business.
TIE TRAGEDY AT ERANKToWN.-la an
other column is dispatch which details
the main facts of the death and burning
of poor Donuelly. That he was set up
on by robbers and thsn murdered and
his house subsequently burned seem to
be inevitable conclusions. The deceased
was a sober, industrious man and not at
all likely to have burned himself to
death while drunk. Besides, the ap-
pearance Of his remains betokens muir
der. Suspicion points to Cinnamon.
That he was robbed. the absence of his
watch seems to be conclusive evidence.
We believe that Donnelly had been con-
nectcd with the road since it was first
built. He was Mason and will be
buried by that order. AS yet We have
no clue to the perpetrators of this horrid
crime
DocToE BUTTs was again III the act Of
selling by public vendue that three-dol-
lar mule. yesterday, as We passed the
Sheriff Office. He would sell awhile
and then look in the mule mouth and
say, SO that everybody could hear him,
Well that ain It such al old mule, after
all AS if anybody said he was. and as
if anybody even could or did tell how
old mule was 10y looking At his mouth.
Meanwhile the mule, who is in the
business), put on an innocent look as
much as to say "well. this is the first
time ever was sold for pound fees -,
when the fact is he is a regular boarder
and gets sold every time that Butts hap
pens to feel like having little auction
sale.
Coon TEMpLARs' INsTALLATIoN.-The
officers elect of Carson Lodge of Good
Templars will be installed this evening.
The ceremony will be conducted pub
licIy. 1t is, We understand, very i'm
pressive and interesting ceremonial.
The invitation to attend is quite gen.
eral. Tho occasion will be made the
more entertaining by speeches from
some of the gentlemen connected with
the Order.
