BLOODY AFFAIR AT WATHESA-0n Thursday
night of last week. negro festival was held in Wa
thena. at which some white fellows put in an ap-
pearance. What they went for, what caused the
row, who mostly to blame, we have not learn
ed; but the result a wicked fight, in which Hen
ry Butcher, colored, stabbed by John McSpar-
rem. and Arch. Harvey, colored, was shot and per-
haps fatally wounded, by Jim Montgomery. Nc
Sparren was severely beaten over the head Mont
gommery is in Jail, in default of ball. and McSpar-
left at home, under guard, because of his in
juries. From the fact that the white fellows have
been committed, and the colored people not, it
would seem that the whites were the aggressors.

PHILOSOPHERS in Cooking.

A writer in the American Cultivator
says: The various processes of cooking
often determine both the taste Of food
and its ultimate beneficial effect on the
system. In the case of animal food,
whatever renders It's fiber harder makes
ne meat less digestible the flesh of
young animals, or those that have lever
been oyerworked, iseasily distinguished
from that ofolder, tougher cattle.
Keeping tends very much to improve
the tenderness Of meat. Few animals
are fit to be eaten the day they are
killed, and yet, for the lack OF supply Of
ice and other c%onveniences of triAing
cost and trouble, immense quantities Of
tough and unfit meat are annually CON
sumed in country places. BY the ac-
ton of salt Oh lean meat a considerable
quantity OF the natural juices and flavor
!, extracted and absorbed, rendering the
Gber harder, drier and more indigesti-
Die.
Occasionally salt meat is agreeable,
but as a regular article Of diet it IS 90
j~cctionabie. since the introduction of 81
much salt into the SYSTEM Is ~preludiclal
to health. lessons the relish for food,
induces cravings for fluids, produces in
digestion and skin disease. Fats form
an exception they have no water to
lose. hence salt makes them no harder,
and, in fact, fat pork is rendered more
digestible by sailing, and will digest
quicker than fresh pork, while beef
long salttd requires two hours longer Tor
digestion than roast fresh beef.
In boiling beef it looses ID per cent.
of its weight roasted, 20 per cent;
boiled mutton shrinks 10 per cent,
while roasted n per cent; fowl cooked
by boiling Is per cent, and they show
p per cent. loss by roasting. To boil
meat properly it should be plunged at
once into boiling water; if intended for
soup, use cold water and gradually
heat it. Boiled meat eaten without the
soup formed in boiling loses part OF Its
nutrition. Broiling meats seals up the
pores through which the juices might
Roast meat is more digestible than
boiled, because the coating on the ut
side, produced by sudden contact with
great heat, retains the savory and sol
uble clements. Frying is most objec-
tionabie, and, unless handled with great
skill, it not only renders the meat har-
der and more indigestible, but it lmbues
it with boiling fat and destroys the fla
vor. No meat diet is so economical as
the preparation of soups and stews,
even shin-bones, broken up, have
a nutritive value of one-thlrd that OF
beef in carbon and One-slXth OF nitro
gen.

Wife Poisoning in Sampson.

CLINTON, n. G., April ,, 1879.
EDITOR GoLDsBoRO MEssENGER-
The latest excitement III this county is
in regard to the death Of Mrs. Martha
Spell, in Little CoIlarie township,
Thursday morning, the 9th ultimo.
Her murderer was, without doubt, her
husband, W. T. Spell, a sort of mechanic
and man OF all trades, who is about
thirty, D feet 10, erect, $50 aVOirduDois.
has black hair and beard, and a pleasing
address. The facts in the case are
briefly as follows: Spel, whose house
stands Immediately on the stage roa |
leading from Clinton to Fayetteville,
about fifteen miles from the formei
place, on the morning Of the tragedy
called on DIR. Holiday, the physician OF
the neighborhood, to obtain medicine
for the deceased. Dr.. II. prescribed
and gave pills, and Spell at once re-
turned home. Reaching home he gave
his wife . liquid, showing her the guam
tIty the doctor had prescribed as a dose.
and she Immediately took it as directed.
Fifteen minutes after Swallowing it She
was a corpse.
The above facts, along with other
ouSitlClOuo UIilsIdllCCS DciiIN IGDOIJ-
ed to the Coroner, DR.. Holmes, he
summoned a jury who assembled at the
late residence of the deceased on Mon
day morning last, and rendered a verdict
that Mrs. Martha Spell came to her
death from the effects Of poison swat
lowed at the instance Of her husband.
". /. Spell, and her death was pre-
facilitated, Or words to that effect.
Spell was present when the inFesti4a-
ton began, bot seeing the evidence OF
MS gHilt rapidly accommodating. he
folded his tent Ike a Arab, and silent
~ stole (ran) away.
The stomach OF the dead woman was
forwarded to Prof. Reld, at the Uni
'eIeity, yesterday, and should the
analysis reveal the presence Of poison
(stfychnine is suspected, it Is the al
most universal expressed wish OF the
good CITIZENS OF the county that His
EXcellency, Governor Jarvis, VIII, upon
proper application, promptly offer a
suitable reward for the arrest OF the
murderer.
This writer believes in a strict obser-
vance OF the laws ofthe land Ordinarily
and he believes. too, in the Sacredne9s
OF human life; but if this killing bust
ness-the murder and assassination OF
men and b. poison the knife,
the shotgun; revolver, etc.-goes on
much longer, and ignorant and senti-
mental, or bribed iuries shall still refuse
to convict, then Judge Lynch will have
to go cunning for some folks. that

A Radical Sensation Spoiled.

When it was announced that Porter
had been foully murdered in Texas,
another dark spot was added to the
bloody-shirt. 1t was heralded over the
North that a Northern man had been
assassinatedin cold blood by the Kuklux
rebels of the South. The Radical papers
were preparing for a general howl
against the rebellious spirit ofthe South.
Many were the tears shed over Porter's
murder, and many were the excavations
hurled against the Southern ruffan who
killed an innocent, defenceless man for
the sole crime of having been born
North. But this sensation was spoiled
