STARTLING SENsATIoN.-For the
past week vague rumo-s have been
whispered about that Anderson Shiffiett,
who was. executed on Tuesday, Septenl-
Der 25th, had come to life, and made
manifest his vitality as he was being
jolted over the Rockingham pike, about
four miles from town, on the afternoon
of the execution, and while en- route in
his coffin for his final resting place in
Blue Ridge Mountains The improba-
BILE story found Judgment only in the
minds Of children and darkies until
Friday of last week, when a man well
known in town as resident of Shift
flett's locality wilhelm the flesh, brought
the startling announcement that he had
talked with Shiffiett the day previous,
and that beyond soreness about the
neck he was all right, and would be
about in a few days. The bearer Of this
mcredulous tale expressed his Wiling
ness to back up his statement by an
affidavit. Simultaneous with the rein
habiting of our county by Shiffiett Capt.
Paul's residence was vigorously stoned
by some unknown agency. Captain
Paul was the prosecuting Attorney
Earrisoabuqg Old Commonwealth.

SUSPICIOUS.

We know nothing OF the merits Of
the case, but from comments we
have seen on the bill providing for
an exemption Of the Wis. Central
K. X. Lands from taxation, conclude
it ought not to pass, or at least
should be very carefully considered
before receiving the vote Of any
legislator. We suspect it Of belong
ing to the category OF Pump Car.
pentcr's claims and other steals.
The Milwaukee Sentinel condemns
the bill strongly, as follows:
The Wisconsin Central Railroad
is owned, aud has been owned from
the beginning, by Gardner Colby,
e. l.. Colby, his son, and T.. b. Phil
lips. These are the men who put in
less than 81 400 900 and constructed
railroad through n trackless uu-
settled forest. Admitting that they
have accomplished for the State all
they claim, have bnilt few towns
with blacksmith shop: jack-leg
lawyer and doctor and other equal
~ important industries and calami
ties IN each admitting this, how
much ought they to receive for it
In reality, they have received in six
years on this investment Of less than
s2,oo0,VOg, more than 20,0o0,00o.
This is by their own showing, and
rs seen in the various articles If co
partnership. These men, who have
made this enormous amount OF
money, now ask the State TO make
them a present OF five years taxes
on their lands, and to compel the
settlers in the northern counties to
bear the burden of the present.

STILL UNSETTLED. - The JOINT
High Commission, created to decide
disputed points in the Electoral
count. are iaboring with the returns
from Florida, with prospect that
several days will elapse ere a decis-
ion thereon is reached. What the
result will be no man ventures to
predict, but that tho determination
of the case OF Florida will practice
ally decide the question of who shall
be President, is generally conceded.
II the votes ct that State are counted
for Hayes, the rules under which it
is done, applied to South Caroliua
and Louisiana must, it would seem.
carry them the same way, and secure
his election. That the Commission
can fail to count Florida for Hayes
does not seem to Republicans posi-

full, and, undisputed, say that the
