Last week was another torrid seige-soms say ho
ter than any Of the previous terms On Ssturda,
the mercury went up to 1851 degrees In the shads
and 1t must have been nearly warm ON severs
days Immediately preceding.
Anderson Co.'s Circus, which exhibited here las
Thursday, was very well patroni.ed. considering tn
extreme heat The performance was fair, but here
too, the weather was evidently against the exhibit
or Considering the great exertion required by cir
Gus performers great allowance ought to be made fol-
them, when they are cooped up in a pen with thu
mercury boiling up to one hundred.
The boys had the laugh ON Will Zook. the Other
day, when, after some superhuman efforts, he sue
ceeded in rolling barrel of salt into . wagon and
putting every thing in nice shape, even to screwns
In the endgate he discovered it was the wrong vae
| on.
Last Tuesday, 9th, the 5Oth anniversary of the
marriage of Dr. Shreve and lady, and it had been ar
ranged that the friends should assemble at their
house, in the afternoon, and do honor to the aged
couple; but in consequence of the illness of the Dr.,
the affair had to be abandoned. 1t was q source of
extreme regret TO the many warm friends of the
family, that they not permitted to congratulate
the Dr. and lady the occasion of their golden we'd
ding
We made facetious alluson, last week, to Diff
Guilty concerning bull, which, in view of further de-
velopments in the case, requires additional notice
The animal was DR. Pugsley's thoroughbred, and
was taken up by Mr.. Briggs In the night tho Dr's
son. Bert stole into the barn where it tied and
took it away. Briggs sued Pussley, and the result
was split jury, five being for Pugsley and one for
Briggs We learn that the trial developed certain
circumstances, incidentally, which will give rise
another suit Ii looks to though the whole af.
fair is foretaste Of herd-lawism i'm this community
and doubtless people biased in of the kind
more or less by their support of this or their
antipathy against it.
No, thank You, well not take any in ours. .Scan
Mag doesn't agree with us, and the doctor tells us
We must be careful of our diet.
The sckly season is upon u.s. in all its yiru-
ience Old residents pronounce it the worst in the
history Of the town. There is scarcely q household
In which there is not some indspostion, and i'm many
cases the illness is very serious. The malady in all
the eases is either fever some ament growing out
OF prosration from the extreme heat of the present
season. The cases of extreme Illness so far as We
have been able to learn, comprised in the follow
ing list: DIR. Shreve. Mrs. Joshua Taylor Mrs Thos
Bradley, A. s. Brewster and two of his children. Bob
Stout, James Dennison Misses Kate and Lille Burk-
halter, Julia Harris child of old Mr. Gubtairs and
q child of Mr.. Blakely, in town, and Ed. Nuzum.
Sam Bowron, his wife and three children, in the |
country Doubtless there a number of other |
cases. for the sickness is represented even worse
III the country than in town. Some of the persons |
ABOVE named are convalescent, but others are in q
critical condition. Over the river and down on Rush
Bottom there is said to be unusual amount of sick
ness and there have been several deaths OF course
in these localities, fever and ague hold their own
The lawsuit of Wylic Moore Vs. John II. UT, which
was to have come of before referee on last Friday
was settled by compromise, to the satisfaction of
both parties, lit is to be presumed) The case was
'ne that had attracted considerable attention.
We observe that Messrs. Wood & Anderson have
combined the grocery business with that of dealing
n hardware Reason assigned, protection against
'ther establishments which pervert their lines of bus
ness.
If We have many more lawsuits Oh the cattle ques-
ion the to votes of the jury will become as fam
'us as the to decisions of the Presidential Com
nission.-lf you are overrun with cattle lawsuits
low, can it be when the herd law goes into OBJ
ration! Is there not probability of a change for
he better !-Prl
