Sheriff Gaines, of Scott county, was ill town Saturday, and reports things in his county in a deplorablc condition. Two men wefe killed there the day bef.re he left, and he seems to have anticipated further trouble, so much so. that he came to this place to confer with tie Adju- tant-General who arrived Saturday evening in response to a telegram. The killing and whole difficulty is between the two factions of the Re- publican party of that county, and the original feud dates back some four years. We were unable to ob- tain any very definite information IS tU the trouble, but we hope it is not SO serious as Mir. Gaines seemed to think it to be, and that quiet may be restored without fur- ther trouble.
 BOIL WoRM.-From Mr. Jesse R. Duke. of NorristOwn, we learn that the boil worm is making de- structive ravages upon the cotton crop. MT. D. does not think there can possibly be more than half q crop on any of the river bottom farms along the river below Norris town. All the top bolls and squares have been destroyed by the worm, and where there was fair prospect for good big bale to the acre, there Will not be more than half bale. we are sorry to hear of this misfor- tune to our cotton growers. MT. D. thinks he has studied out plan to keep clear of danger from these de- structive insects next year, and he promises us communication on the subject soon, so that all our farmers may have the benefit of his plan.

 As true gallantry demands that the ladies shall always be first served, we take pleasure in saying to them that for any and all kinds of dress goods, trimmings and milli- nery, Mrs. B.

 A nice book, or other article in the booksellers line of goods is al- ways an inexpensive and desirable article to purchase for yourself or friend.
