AS was announced, several days ago
Rob Hartman died at the end of two days'
sickness. On Monday he and his father
discovering lot OF pigs in the garden
chased them out. In doing this, Rob re.
coiyed fall, but as he complained of no
injury, the circumstance was laughed at
and soon forgotten. The following even
ing he complained of pains in the stomach.
They were regarded as of a cholicky nature
and treated as such. Tuesday morning he
became sick and fevcrisb and took to bed.
During the day physician was called, and
learning the nature and seat of the COM
plant, inquired if the patient had recently
received fall. Receiving an affirmative
reply, the physician at once decided that he
had serious case to deal with. The bow
els utterly refused to respond to enema or
purgatives and the fever increased; but to
the last Rob was very strong and insisted

morning he was permitted to leave his bed
and sit in chair. He had been sitting but
a few moments when he called to his
mother that he was losing his sight--that
everything was growing dark. A momert
later he had passed into swoon, and soon
afterwards died. As no post mortcm exam
ination was made, the exact nature of his
injury is not known; but the conclusion is
that his fall produced rupture in the small
intestfnes, or an equally fatal displacement.
The death was a great shock to the family
and won for them expressions of condo
lence and sympathy from the entire com.
muniy.
One of the most Internal ou;rages, or
rather, series Of outrages, of which we
have heard in many day, Is laid TO the
charge OF q negro man, named Charley
Allen. Mary Hayes, a tolerably wel-be,
hayod negro girl, lives IN the collection Of
houses known as the corral For some
time past Allen has been importuning
Mary to live with him; but as Allen is a
married man, and The father Of six or eight
children, Mary has firmly and perslstcntly

skull at every blow. Seeing or believing
that It was his tieGdiSh purpose to beat the

that he had expressed determination to

Men, or at least, some men, are the
most unreasonable, incomprehcnsible beings
on the face OF the earth. In the rightlng Of
real or imagined wrongs Of the most trivial
and inconseQuential character, they often
invoke difficulty and disgrace, and not un.
frequently commit q wrong tcn-told more
serious than that which they undertake to
repair. Ben Fowler met Spence Martin on
