A singular instance of a birds attachment
to its owner is brought to notice by the death
OF parrot belonging to Joseph Richardson,
Of Ballston Spa, on the seventh instant. It
had been in the family for twenty-five years,
and had been fed and cared for by Mr. Rich
ardson. About two weeks since he left for a.
visit to Minnesota and the bird became in
consolable at his absence, refused to eat and
literally died OF grief and starvation. It was
very intelligent, spoke intelIigibly, and re-
peatedly called, "Where is Joe?" during its
last hours. The family have consigned the
remains Of this pet to the care Of a taxid-
ermist.- Argus.

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Three New Gases Reported at Memphis
People Still Fleeing in oonsid-
erable Numbers.

MEMPHIS, July 18.-Only one new case Of
yellow fever Is reported. There Is a good
deal OF excitement but no panic. Yesterdays
cases are doing well. The so-called suspi-
cious cases, which created excitement last
night, are pronounced to- be diseases of a diff
ferent character.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
There is considerable excitement on all
sides, and the people are eager to learn the
conclusion regarding the cases which are
now mentioned as suspicious Ihe trains last
night and this morning all carried a number
of people fleeing from the scourge, and should
six or eight suspicious cases be declared yel-
low fever the exodus will be much greater.
The doctors continue to disagree, some urg-
ing that we have no yellow fever here and
others that all the suspicious cases are suffer,
ing from the scourge. The steamer Grand
Tower, from below, reports great consterna-
tion at all river towns and landings below.
At Greenville the authorities would not per-
nit person or pound Of freight to land, not
even a barrel of whisky. The river towns are
reported healthy, but thoroughly demora-
lied and the people getting away as fast as
possible.
THREE NEW CASES REPORTED.
Fred Eckers, barber, was found to be afflict-
ed with fever to-day, and a later case that OF
J: NJ. Williamson, corner Jefferson and Front
streets, was reported. All outward bound
trains are again crowded tonight.
e. w. Williamson, one Of the cases reported
this afternoon, Is member Of the famous
Chickasaw Guards that visited the North dur
ing the yellow fever epidemic.
A thirteen year old son of Chief of Police
Ashley was reported as having fever, late this
afternoon, making three cases to-day.
One or two banks have removed their de-
posts and cleared up for the summer and
numbers Of business houses are doing the
same thing.

den, will be called upon to plead in the Su-
preme Court here to an indictment charging
him with murder In the second degree. This
is In consequence OF an objection raised by
the attorney general that Graham, having
given evidence which secured the conviction
Of Hunter, who was hanged, cannot be tried
for murder In the first degree. Some nice le-
gal points are involved; but, IL convicted IN :
der the Indictment the severest penalty
would Be imprisonment for life It is gener-
ally believed that Ii convicted, his sentence
will not be for more than ten years.

A Good Story on Gov. Magofi1n.
New York Evening" Pos,


Il good story is told of ex. Gov.
Magoffiu, Of kentucky, who is a good
talker and likes to do all the talking
himself. Recently, in making the
Journey from Cincinnati to Lexington
he shared his seat in the car with
bright eyed, pleasant.faced gentleman.
The governor, after a few common.
place remarks, to which his compan-
ion smiled and nodded assent, branch.
ed into description of the scene that
he had Witnessed in different parts OF
the country, grew eloquent owe. the
war, described with glowing speech
the horse-races he had witnessed talk.
ed learnedly of br, eding, and told
thrilling stories CT his battles with the
Indians in the northwest. The hours
slipped rapidly away, and when the
train was nearing Lexington the two
exchanged cards and parted with a
cordial shake of the hands. The
governor drove to an inn, and to
number of friends he remarked that
the ride had never seemed 80 shor: be-
tore. "Ihen you must have had
pleasant company aboard ?" "You're
right. 1 met gentleman of unusual
intelligence. We conversed all the
way over | never was brought in
contact with more agreeable man."
"Indeed! who was he ?" asked his
friends swat minute; I have his
card" and the governor felt in bis
pockets and produced a bit OF paste
board. "His name is King "Not
Bob King?" shouted a dozen in one
breath. YES, gentlemen, Robert
King;that is the way the card reads
was the proud reply. A roar of laugh
ter followed. "Why, governor, Bob
King is as deaf as post; he was
born deaf aud dumb"
