Little Rock Gazette, 18th: 1.-The quarter
past two morning train, on the Memphis and
Little Rock road did not reach this city until
about ten o'clock yesterday morning. The
delay was caused by running into tree-top,
which had been blown across the track. The
engine ran of the track, but did not turn
over, the speed being only about six miles an
hour, and many OF the passengers did not
know of the accident until morning. 1t &C.
Cured about four miles from the city.
AT twelve O'Clock last night fire broke
out Ia the grocery store of MIS-. b. Living
stone, situated on the corner of DeSoto and
Elliott streets. The building, frame one,
was destroyed. 1t belonged to Mr.. William
Davidson. There was eleven hundred dol
lars insurance on the stock of goods. The
loss was about total. The cause of the ire
was accidental. The engines had scarcely
ceased work on the above fire when another
one broke out in the northern part OF the
city, to which the fire boys sped with their
usual alacrity, and soon extingulshed. We
could learn no particulars OF the last fire.
owing to the !ateness of the hour.

"A celebrated English physician says that
pedestrian exercise particularly exhausts the
spind and brain, and is, therefore, the kind
of exercise least suited to intellectually hard
working men. 1t is on this account that
horseback exercise is the kind of medicine it
is-the horse having the fatigue, and the
rider the exercise. To sufficiently jar and
agitate the liver and other internal organs for
some convalescents, the legs and loins must
be overworked. The thorough shake-up
which is got In the saddle is without effort,
or with the effort of only such muscles as can
best afford it; and the student-rider comes
back with physical forces refreshed, beaides
the exhIlaration of movement for the spirit
and the change of mind.
Holly Springs (Miss.) South, 18th: "Ou
Monday last a collision occurred between
twelve and one clock in the afternoon, near
Cohen s old mill, twelve or thirteen miles
u hOlly OUIIuSSJ DeGWeeH d. ~
Moody and Doc Holland, which resulted in
the death of Holland. The circumstances
attending the difficulty at the time of its &C.
currence are unknown, except from the state
ment of the father of Moody, who was not
present, and who only reports the statement
of his son. That is, that Moody was walking
away from his shop, toward Cohen mill,
which was near by, when he unexpectedly
met Holland in the road-that Holland said
to him that he was going to whip him, and
got off of his horse for that purpose, and
picked up a stick of wood, with which he adj
vanced on him and struck two blows at him,
one grazing his face and the other received
on the arm. He had by that lime, or before,
an open barlow knife in his hand, and COM
menced cutting Holland in self-detense. Hol-
land, after receiving several blows from the
knife, retreated some sixty yards and lay
down, where he was found dead that even
ing. Moody has absented himself. Before
leaving that evening. he is said to have
hauled two loads of wheat to the mill to be
thrashed. At an inquest held by our coro-
ner, Mr.. Glen Read, it appeared that Hol
land had been cut in four places, one of which
entered near the region of the heart. The
verdict of the coroners jury was that the de-
ceased came to his death at the hands of B.
