The train that carried the excur-
sionists to Columbia on last Tuesday
morning was jammed from end to
end, affording scarcely comfortable
standing room for those who had the
misfortune to get aboard on the last
fifty miles of the route. Two feet,
however large, can scarcely hold up
180 pounds for three or four consecu-
tive hours. The truth Of this state
ment was understood by our kind fat
friend, Mr.. M. Danncr, who gave
us q big share of q little valise.
Upon this we rested and snoozed
dreaming of the long, happy life We
desired all big men to live.

CONSIDERABLY excitement must ex-
ist in the upper potion of this coun-
ty in reference TO mad dogs, if the
following be correct, which is vouch-
cd for by a gentleman of ycracity /:
DIR. j. A.J. Hildebrand having occa-
sion to walk down in his field, where
he had a negro boy ploughing,
Fad no sooner arrived in; speaking
distance than he heard the alarming
cry of "mad dog" A gentleman
who was ploughing near betook him.
self to the nearest tree, and the doc
tor uncercmonionsly left the spot in
quest Of his gun. After letlad Sc
cured and examined it, he returned
to the scene of his late fright, and
imagine his feelings as his large dog
came running towards him. Now
the Doctor had no idea Of being bit
ten by mad dogs, and SO he shot eve
ry cur that came in sight, commenc-
ing with his own, which was very
large, fine dog, and one that the Doc
tor priced highly. After the smoke
of battle cleared away five dead dogs
and one dead sheep, apartly eaten,
were found. 1t appears that the dogs
were not mad, but had became exciL-
ed over the sheep they had killed and
was having general fight.

LAST Saturday and Sales.day were
jolly days for friend Kortjohn in
fact, all his days are brisk and busy.
His store is filled with goods and fill
cd with customers. 1t seems a pleas
ure for him to receive car loads of
goods and deal them out to his GUS
toners at the smallest possible mar
gin. Then is it not folly not to pat
ronize him when he is willing to work,
at such close figures. But he is we'll
patronized and justly too, for without
this auction and commission house,
goods would be higher and many a
man suffer for actual necessities, and
in the end fail to make ends meet. His
goods are lower than ever, and we
would advise all in want to call on
him at once and secure bargains.
We only wish we had lots of money
to invest, but fate orders otherwise.
Why are newspaper men so poor?

We can always find out the cheap
places and advise our friends Of bar

visits, few and far between. We
would it were otherwise, but will
make amends for our short comings
by the good advice we give our
friends. Friend Kortohn has the
goods, there is no doubt of it, and
will sell them at invoice prices, his
shippers paying him S per cent for
his trouble. If any doubt this asser-

On Thursday evening last the
dwelling Of DR.. w. w. Murray, q
mile south Of town, was entirely con-
sumed by fire. The burning was
purely accidental as there was no
one on the premises except Mrs.
Murray and the children, and but
little fire in the chimney. AS soon
rs the alarm was given, tho Doctor,
aided by few colored persons, made
every effort to eXtinguish the fire, but
With no avail. The house was large
and very old, therefore burned rapid
ly and was soon beyond the control
of those engaged in saving it. The
furniture and other things on the
first floor were saved but in moro
or less damaged condition. We are
glad to learn that DR.. Murray was
insured and will be able to prove
and receive damages TO tho amount
of 81 200 dollars, which will soon put
him under shelter again.

In Jail, and tho probabilities are that
during the present session of Court
these will be turned out or sent to

MANY farmers. on Bull Swamp and
elsewhere in the county are plough
ing up their first planting of cotton
in consequence. of; the ravages Of the
cut worm. One gentleman informed
us that lie had seen rows an acre

standing. So great and unusual has
been the damage done by these
worms that every effort is being
made 10 destroy them. But so far
without avail.

GOOD ADvIcE.-Says the Elmira
Gazette: "No, don't learn n trade,
young man. You might soil your
hands, wilt your shirt collar, and
spoil yonr complexion sweating. Go
hang your chin over u counter; learn
to talk twaddle to the ladies part
your hair in the middle, and work
for wages that wouldn't support a
Chinese laundrymau on rice fed rats
and leave big enough balance to
pay his washcrwoman-just because
it is a little more gentcel in the eyes
of the people whose pride prevents
them from pounding rock or hcwing
wood, and whose poverty pinchcs
worst than one of those patent cross
legged clothes pins, if the truth was
only told"

james A. BarksdaIe Goes Free.


The Grand Jury finally adjourned on
Wednesday evening, after laborious
and useful session. No better Grand
Jury was ever impaneled in the State.
The case of James A. Barksdale, for the
killing of Henry NJ. Dixon, was thor
oughly investigated, and no indictment
found. We believe all fair-minded men
are satisfied with the action of the Grand
Jury in refusing to indict Mr.. Barksdale
(Which action, we understand, was unan-
imous), and we hope this is an end Of
this celebrated case The friends of Mr..
Barksdale are glad to know that he has
been vindicated by one Of the most intel
ligent Grand Juries-composed of men
of all parties and of both race es-the coun-
ty ever had And it is to be hoped that
the enemies of this young gentleman will

"Cineinnati's Beginnings" by Francis
W. Miller, is just published by
Peter G. Thomson, and is a book
that will arrest the attention of and
deeply interest every Cincinnatian. 1t
is, in word, a history of the early days
of this city, and of the territory COM
posed of what is known as the Miami
Purchase. The settlement of this part
of the country, the founding Of Gncin-
natl and the doings of the pioneers, are
more clearly set forth and more accur-
ately and intelligently traced, than has
been done in any previous publication.
The facts have been CLEANED chiefly from
hitherto unpublished documents, but
every authority seems to have been con-
suited which could contribute to the
end in view. The author and publisher
have not only produced an interesting
book and one that will have large sale
and be carefully read, but they have
made very valuable contribution to
the citizens of Cincinnati in presenting
the facts here given in such shape as
TO make them valuable to all who would
be familiar with the early history Of our
beautiful CITY.
