The New York Herald'S Washing

The New York Herald's Washing
ton correspondent says: The examina-
ton of Messrs Pelt0n, Marble and
Tilden by the Potter Committee have
attracted extraordinary interest at this
political centre. When the House au-
thorized the committee to inquire into
thecipher dispatches, some weeks ago,
Tilden stock went up here, o7 account
of vague rumor that Mr. Tilden was
prepared to make a somewhat starts
ling showing to the country, if he had
an opportunity, rumor which secur>
ed credit because it was generally
known that Mr. Tilden had desired to
testify before the committee. The
result has not justified these anticipa-
tions, but is by no means unsatlstacto'
ry to the democrats, generally, who
privately agree that Messrs Hiscock
and Reed, of the com nittee, have re-
lieved the democratic party of any
futher trouble with Mr. Tilden rs a
Presidential candidate.

There is a movement on foot among
the theoreticals, says the New York
Herald, to have Messrs Tilden and
Hayes run again for the Presidency,
and it is said that Hayes will run
again only Under su'h a movement.
Hayes may save Tildon the trouble.
Politically speaking neither one of
them is worth a hole in a button that
sells at three dozen for a cent.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
James Bond shoots and Mortal
ly wounds His Cousin, f. II.
Bond, and then Attempts
to Commit Suicide by
Shooting Himself
in the Head

In uktt hatdOs
Yesterday at noon double tragedy
occurred under the shadow of the
court house, which, for sickening re-
suits doubtless never had a parallel in
the history of our town or county. DIR
I. G. Edwards and r. g. Thomas,
ESQ.,, trustees of Mrs l.. S. Bond and
e. w. Harbert, were in the act Of
selling at auction the storehouse occu-
pied by Wilder d HOtchkiss, under a
deed of trust, in which Mr. James
Bond and Frank Bond, cousins, we're
interested. Both were bidding in
spirited manner, until the property
finally ran up to over two thousand
dollars. 1t is said that the former
accused Frank of putting up job on
him to make the property bring more
than it was worth, which accusation
Frank denied. He then turned away
and raised his bid fifty dollars, when
suddenly James Bond drew Il Smith &
Wesson pistol and fired three times at
Frank. two of the balls taking effect
in his body, and the third slightly
wounding a colored man named Mac
Num-, who was standing near. One
of the balls passed through Mr. Bonds
bowels, from his right size to his left,
and the other broke his arm near the
shoulder joint. Drs Howell, Hay
wood, Cooper and Meux, and other
physicians were speedily summoned
to his bedside, and every possible at
tention bestowed On him. In the
meantime Mr. James Bond left the
square and made his way to DR. W W
Taylor's office, where he was followed
ny Sheriff Lyle and placed under ar.
rest. He was observed to be in
paroxysm of excitement, and soon got
up in a great agitation, and went into
the adjoining room, where he at once
| fred three shots in the attempt to
commit suicide. Only one of the
balls took effect, and that only pro-
duced a flesh wound at the top of the
forehead, on the left side, the ball
passing under the scalp about two
inches and then passing out again.
Drs W. w. Taylor, John Haywood
and f. r. Meux were called to his
side when they administered O)iates
and dressed the wound. There is no
/ doubt that he will recover.
Just as we 90 to press, early Thurs
day morning, we learn that DR. w. E.
Rogers, of Memphis, arrived on the
accommodation last night, and remain
ed with the wounded man Frank
until morning. He pronounced the
case almost or quite hopeless, but at
this writing the patient is resting easy
and a faint ray of hope, very faint,
has been awakened in his behalf. He
was kept in B. ?. Boyd's law Office,
in the court house yard all, night, be,
ing too low to be removed. His fam
ily remained with him and are still
there watching him with the most
painful solicitude. Brownsville States

For the OXFORD DEMOCRAT
POULTRY N WINTER.

Now when the cold winds o; winter
begin 20 warn US of is sure approach, II
behooveS the farmer TO see that his flock
OF poultry is provided with warm sunny
quarters In the summer months they
were perhaps permitted TO roost in an
open shed, which gave them ample pro
lection through the warm weather, but
now il the hens are expected 70 keep up
the supply of eggs they should be pro
vided with warm. well ventilated. roomy
quarters. No one can expect great sup
ply Of eggs if the hens are not well fed
with a variety of food and furnished with
an ample supply of pure water.
As the farmer looks TO the supply OF
eggs as a return for the care of his poul-
try through the winter. few hints as 70
how to obtain the greatest supply Will per
haps be of interest. l am confident from eX-
peuence and reading that the egg pro-
duction during the winter depends more
upon the food than on the temperature.
but at the same time I claim that in order
10 secure the most satisfactory results the
flock should be well housed and well fed.
As suitable food for egg production l shall
name first wheat, or wheat screenings,
then ground rye or oats, then bran mixed
with one quart of corn meal to two qts.
of bran.
OF al foods, the most unsuitable for
egg production Is corn. Corn, and moth
ing but corn-which largely constitutes
the food with which large proportion Of
the farmers hocks of fowl are fed in
winter Right here l wish TO again
speak Of the Importance of plenty of pure
water. Many fowl found dead in the
winter can often be charged TO the want
of water. In cold weather flock of hens
viii often remain on the roost nearly all
day, and at such time they spend but
little time eating and drinking, there
fore their food and drink should be-
placed in a convenient location, and
plenty of it. Cooked potatoes, cabbage
raw or cooked and once a week a few
onions are also good Tor q change.
Fowls do not require as much room in
winter as during the summer, and very
small place viii answer nicely, if it IS
only kept clean, Is well lighted and gets
the sun during portion of the day at
least Wherever it can be done, the
poultry-house should be so located as to
get the suns rays during the entire day.
Nothing viii supply its place where eggs
in winter and early chicks are wanted
The question as to which of the fancy
breeds are best adapted to the wants of
the farmer IS still unsettled The Brown
Leghorns are non-setters, good layers,
rather small. but lay good sized egg,
and make fine table fowl. The Ply
mouth Rock is a very fine breed, nearly
as large as the Cochin or Brahma, but
better layers, not as much given to setting,
and are a splendid fowl for the table. A
