AIRS. Sallic Mickey, the wife of Mr..
Jno. C. Mickey, resided in the western
part Of Russcllville. The family consis-
ted of the husband, wife, and three small
children. They lived in abect circum-
stances, and the wants of wife and chill.
dren were lily attended to by the bus
band. Last Friday morning the husband
went a fishing, leaving his wife and
children at home. Shortly after this,
one of the neighbor-women called in at
Mrs. McKey's and was informed by Mrs.
Mex. that she Mrs. McK.) had Just ia
ken a large dose fmorphene, and would
perhaps soon 60 to sleep. The visitor
departed, but feeling uneasy, went to
another neighbours, and related the cir
cumstance. The two neighbors again
returned to Mrs. McKey's and found her
insensif.e on the bed. Medical aid was
at once summoned, but all efforts to
counteract the effects Of the deadly mar
coctic were Of no avail, and in less than

Democratic Convention.
RooMs'' DEMOCRATIC STATE Gen. Con-,
LITTLE Rock, March 20, 1878.

At meeting of this committee held pu :
uant to adjournment in the city of Little
Rock, March 30 1873, in was resolved by the
committee that Convention of the Demo-
cratic party OF the State of Arkansas be called
to assemble at the City of Little Rock, on
Thursday, the 4th day of July, 1873, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
State Offices to be voted for at the general
election to be held on Monday; the ID day
of September. in said year, and for the trans
action of such other business as may be deem-
ed advisable.
1t was resolved by the committee that the
basis of representation In said Convention
and until said Convention may otherwise Or
der. shall be one vote for each 400 votes. and
one vote for such fraction over 2O0 votes, as
cast for William X. Miller, candidate for Gov
ernor at the last election, held on the 18th
September, 1876
And inasmuch as it has been the practice
heretofore to send from the counties ad accent
to the place Of holding the Convention large
number of delegates, who, by the moral
weight of their numbers In excess of the votes
to which they are entitled, give advantage
over the distant counties in the choice OF can
didates, and thereby produce confusion in the
Convention and want of harmony in the par
ty, it was resolved by the committee that the
number of delegates allowed to the several
counties should be limited to the number Of
votes which they are entitled to cast In the
Conventions in compliance with which action
of the committee, | hereby announce that the
Democratic State Convention, at the time
named by said committee, to wit, the 18th day
of July next, will meet at the city of Little
Rock.

Northwest Arkansas Railroad,

This is what the Pierce City Record
says about work on the above road
Work was begun on the Northwest
Arkansas railroad, on the l4th ult., and
the engineers have run the road about
six miles south of Rocky Comfort. BY
to-day they will have reached the sum
NIT of Locust ridge, about six miles
from the Arkansas State line. when, if
the route is found practical, they will re-
turn to Pierce City, and will make the
location Of the first section. We learn
by letter from Major Mccarthy, that if
possible, he will begin grading at Pierce
CITY, ny The thfrd or June, and at the
turthest by the tenth.
Gen. Meyer is urging the work as fast
as possible, and the engineers, consider
ing the wet weather, are making good
progress. Friday OF last week, they ran
a line of five miles and half, which
Maj. Morrell, chief engineer, says is the
biggest days work he ever did in his
life.
Our Arkansas friends are anxious; and
the excitement is at iever-heat. They
want to hear the snort of the iron horse
but they must remember that railroads
are not built in day. Man must work
by system he must plan it out and lay
it off so others may understand what is
to be done. 1t all takes time, and they
will find that Gen Meyer will comply
strictly with his agreement, and Benton.
vile will hear the whistle of the loco
motive on the 9th day Of March, 1879.

Oregon Democratic.

From the returns from Oregon, the
Democrats have majority from four to
twelve in the Legislature. The st. Lou
is Republican says:
Oregon is ours, again, apparently, and
If the Democrats have working major
ity in the Legislature, there will be no
cause for grumblng at the pervisity of
the polls, which seem to have returned a
Republican secretary of state. The cleo
ton of Democrat to the lower house
of congress, is Il gain of ono on the
present Democratic majority, and a plea
sing omen Of largely increased strength
in the Forty sixth congress, while tho
election OF Democratic legislature,
insures one more vote for the already
certain Democratic majority in the SEN
ate. Best of all, it ends the official life
of Nipple Mitchell, who now disgraces
the Senate by holding ono Of the seats
from Oregon.

The st. Louis Republicans Richmond
dispatches of the I'd, give a thrilling ac-
count of a cyclone that passed over that
city, carrying death and desolation in
its track. Eighteen persons were killed
and seyenty-tivc wounded AT least
eighty private dwellings were destroyed.
The houses were not blown, but seized
in the arms of the Infatuated demon, who
whirled them around, actually grinding
them to powder. Large trees were nc
tually torn up by the roots, and those
that withstood the fury of the gale were
completely denuded of their bark.
