HUNTINGDON.
From the II huntingdon vindicator.

NN-N - AANAN'NNNA'
If there is anything like fair yield
of Irish potatoes, we may expect the
country to be flooded with them next
fall-so many have been planted.
There has been some little erysipe-
las about town recently, and it was
feared for time it might become epi-
demie,!. ,!.althoughjwe believeit has about
all disappeared.
Huntingdon will soon have seven
saloons. If the Murphys take in the
country as they did in town, won't
they damage, somewhat, the traffic in
liquor? We shall see.
We understand that a gentleman
living in this city, and one OF the larg
est land owners in the county, intends
establishing large sheep farm near
town. There is millions in it.
Last Saturday morning, about six
o'clock, the dwelling house of Esq.
Bob Chambers, situated about seven
miles southeast of town, together
with nearly al his furniture and
clothing, was consumed by fire. The
fire was first observed by NJ $ Cham>
bers, who was in the family room,
and noticed the bottom corner Of the
mantle-piece burning little. She
supposed that it was only little
chunk of fire that had rolled down,
and giving it a punch passed on. In
a few moments she called her husband
to breakfast, who, coming in, found
that the whole back Of the mantel
vas in flames. He tried to pull the
mantle board off, and then to cut
it down, but it was put up to stay,
an defied all his efforts to tear it
down, and he was compelled to stand
and see his home burn down. The
house WAS valued at between two and
three thousand dollars, and was new,
not having been finished more than
three or four weeks. No insurance.
We learn that about two hundred
dollars worth Of furniture was de-
stroyed.

EEE.E1VEEEE.

Since our last article, our streets
have been crowded with cotton wag,
oas. Load after load of cotton Is
coming in like fall Of the year. 1t is
cotton that has been mud bound.
The owners could not get to market,
consequently will have to lose the
high prices given before Christmas.
Corn is rising in price. 1t is worth
81 dollars per barrel now, and will be
higher.
Bellyille presents alively scene now;
all is hustle and noise. Our business
men are kept busy. Our neighbors
from the Frog Jump and Murray City
country are just now marketing their
produce.
Our merchants are opening their
spring goods.
The Murphys struck us last Thurs
day night with all the force of a tor
nado. Up to this writing some two
hundred have dOnned the blue ribbon.
But we think they are cnly the 'mod
crate drinkers" women and children;
but few chronic cases have joined in
this town.
The Rev. j. J. Farrow GRATED on
Thursday and Friday evening. " We
saw indeed the light, but heard not
the voice of him that spake," conse-
quently viii have to omit the speech.
Corn planting has commenced in
some parts, but there is no time lost as
yet.
No marriages or run-a-ways.

FafUl Accident.

A terrible accident happened at the
residence of Elijah Scates, about
.hree and one>half miles from Treze-
want, last Friday afternoon. His
daughter Elvira, young lady about
eighteen years Of age, was sweeping
down the walls of room, when she
accidentally knocked gun from

against something and was discharged,
the ball entering her temple and kill

Bob Drewry, who once kept .
saloon and is well known here, is now
on trial in Memphis for killing his un-
Gle. The trial will probably Occupy
the balance Of the week. A number
of witnesses from Carroll county
have gone down.
The Paris District Conference, M.
E. Church, South, will meet in Cam
den on the 4th Saturday and Sunday
in April. At the quarterly confer

House, 7. j. Harrison and w. A.
Wade we're elected delegates.
w. q. Jacobs has q n fine stock of
liquors which he proposes to sell at q
little above cost. He intends to quit
that part of his business. A sample
of extra fine Xxx Woodward q Moore
whisky was presented to as by him a
few days since, which makes our med
icine chest complete.
The weather here during the past
three weeks has been very much like
Indian Summer. The air has been
haEy nearly the whole time, and not
cool enough to hurt vegetation. A
slight frost was visible Monday morn
ing, but the ground was 80 warm that
no damage WAS done.
The Murphy organization is still
growing in numbers here. Over three
hundred have signed the pledge in
Milan, and, as far as we know, they
are sticking closely to their pledge.
Many in the adjoining country have
also signed the pledge. Eight huns
dred and fifty cards have been sent
out from this Office.
We see that Hon. E. A. James is
a candidate for Congress in the Chat
tanooga district. If the people of
Milan had a voice in the election
there, he would get their unanimous
support. He deserves the office, for
he has done more hard work for his
party than any man of his age in the
state. We hope he will be elected.
p. Guinan, Esq, of Humboldt,
well and favorably known to many of
our citizens-he having formerly re-

He is splendid penman, a social and

well qualified to fill the Office accept
ably. lie will make calls on the citi-
zens generally at an early day.
We understand that one of our pop
ular Milan beaux got into serious
trouble in Mckenzie one evening last
week. He went to church with
young Lady, making himself very
agreeable indeed. After her arrival
at church it was whispered to her that
her escort was a married man, when
she accepted the company of another
gentleman, leaving our friend in the
lurch, We hereby inform the lady
that he is not only unmarried, but is
a most eligible "catch."
