lCataboula News.
We learn that the neighborhood
of Danville, in this parish, is IN a
state of feverish excitement. Coal
has been found in that vicinity in
immense quantities and of a kind
inferior to none. Capt. Blanks, OF
the steamer John Wilson, on his
last trip down took on board some
forty or fifty boxes OF it for the
purpose of testing its quality. He
pronounces it as very little inferior
to the best coal now used. There
is no doubt but immense coal beds
are all over our parish and it needs
but means and Enterprise to devel-
90 it in to an industry that will
pay our citizens a great deal bet
than raising cotton.

A Wife Kills Her Husband.

Last Monday witnessed a most
shocking affair between a colored
man and his wife, in which the man
came to an instantaneous death by
a gunshot from the hands of the
woman.
The parties lived on Mr.. Andrew
Cruikshank's place, about ten miles |
from Colfax. The man, Perkins
Thomas, and his wife, Milly, it APP
pears, had been living on bad
terms for some time, and last Mon
day morning. about ten O'Clock,
Thomas declared that he was going
to leave his wife, and proceeded to
pack his things out of the yard,
Milly all the while declaring the
most supreme Indifference, until
he said that he intended to have
one-half of the meat in the house,
when she replied that she would
kill him if he dared to take it.
Perkins Thomas, however, was
not man to be bulliozed in any
such manner by a woman, and so
went TO work to make divide, as
he had said he would. Milly then
appeared with an old musket, that
Perkins had used on a squirrel
hunt the day before, and left loaded
with a charge of duck-shot. On
discovering her, he sprang forward
aud grabbed the gun, when scuf-
&c ensned, that the witnesses say
lasted five or ten minutes, ending
in Perkins coming off victor, with
the gun in his hands. He took the
cap off the gun and threw it away,
put the gun up and took good
laugh ut Milly, and then proceeded
with his packing, telling Der tc
shoot now, and be ID.
One witness says Miily picked
. up She cap and recapped the gun
and when Perkins made the banter
he did not know it was capped
and as soon as he spoke she raised
) the gun and fired, filing his neck
chin land mouth full of shot, an6
killing him instantly.
- The above are the facts as givei
y before Coroner Goode, whereupoi
E" the woman was arrested aud com
4 United to Jail.
Upon intel viewing Miilv. She IN
formed us that the testimony q
the witnesses was all false; tna
. she and Perkins were only playing
that they had not quarreled Tor
D wear; that she had neither moliv
> nor desire to kill him; that the
u were on the best of terms; tia
she has four children, of whom sb
J. and Perkins were very tund, Il
3 they also were of one another; Tia
d the act was a terrible accident, au
c. gave her great pain.
