The AaZoo Herald gives the follow

Yazoo, Mississippi, by one Barksdale
about which the papers are now hav-
ing so much to say Dixon and Barks-
dale were candidates Of opposing par

From the best evidence we can
gather, this tragic affair happened be
tween the hours Of 9 and 10 10 the
forenoon, and in about this way:
Barksdale was standing on the west
side Of the street on the sidewalk.

another gentleman, when the deceased

Down the street, the former seeing him,
stepped out into the street, and

about quickly, grabbing for his pistol

The Influence of the Press.

From the Coyington Commonwealth. I
The editor of the Hickman Courier
is dubious about the influence Of the
Press, when he reflects that every
newspaper in Kentucky, with a soil
tary exception, advocated the Constitu
tional Convention an4 yet the propo-
siiion vas badly defeated.
. On this face this is bad showing
aud not iiatteriug 10 the press. But II
must be remembered there are in the
State in the neigbborhood of 10000
voters who take no interest IN puhiiC
affairs, except when the tax gatheref
comes round This arcuses them for
the moment, and after cursing the tax
es and all connected with hem sin <
back into their accustomed abathy
These men do not read the papers
and Of course are not Influenced Big
them. Uuder the ridiculous provis.
ion of the constitution in regard to
calling . convention, these people
who cared nothing about the question
nor indeed, about any other involved
in the late electiOn-as is shown by
their failure to vote-are all counted
as voting against convention.
Nine tenths of the men who read
newspapers aud take proper interest
in public affairs, voted for the conven
ton.
Let our friend Of the Courier take
courage and 90 ahead in his good
work

DOUBLE HEADED Canton, Fulton
county. III, comes forth with remar-
kaDie monstrosity in the shape Of a
double headed calf, which is alive and
doing well The Canton Register
thus describes it The Calf is red 10
color, there being not a white hair
visible in It's coat. The frame Of the
calf is unusually large, and one would
think there would be no trouble 10
raising it to maturity. There is moth
ing unusual in its appearance except
ing its double head. Each head j.
supplied with eyes, uostrils, mouth,
tongue, teeth, etc, but only one pair
of ears, which are set far back near
the neck, aud are of the usual size
Il will take nOurishment in either
mouth, and it apparently makes no
difference which one you iced. except
ing one mouth seemingly waters when
the other is receiving the milk, and
the tongue and lips Of both mouths
move simultaneously. When csIved,
all four eyes were bright aud full Of
life; but since, two of the eyes-the
/ two inside eyes YOU might call them
have grown dim and have the appear
ance of blindness. Both heads are Of
the usual size, and commence sepera
/ ling just above the eyes, and thence to
+ within about two and a half inches OF
The ends OF the noses Two complete
sets Of jaws grace the head. and they
have the appearance Of joining on the
inside Of the jaws. The owner has
already been offered 81 900 for the

We noticed yesterday the launching
Of novel surf,boat during the bathing

the name of the patent, patonteo, OF
the special qualities claimed for it.
1t was evidently Of rubber, being car

It was propelled by single boatman

The apparent advantages would seem
to be the dispatch with which it could

Since writing the above, we have
learned that the name of the gentle.
man launched and exhibited the boat
with so much skill is Capt. WilIough

thu yacht Windwood, which secured
so many prizes 10 the races last sea-

of bellows. Several persons can
sit inside, while some twenty FIVE can
