The Charlotte Observer Of Thursday
last contains the following particulars
Of tho killing Of DIR. j. j. Horton in
Lancaster: The victim was DR.. j. j.
Horton, Il brother ofMr. &. Horton,
Of this city, Il highly respected physi-
clan, who lived in The southern part of
the county, near Pleasant Hill, and
the slayer was James Bcnnc!t, one Of
his tenants. The difficulty occurred
about the rents. DR.. Horton, on the
day before the occurrence, went to the
house of the father Of james Bennett,
and complained Of the delay in the de-
livery OF his share OF the crop. On
the following day he sent his
wagon to The field where Ben
nett was working, with instruc-
tons TO Bennett to load it with
his share of the fodder which had
just been cured. The wagon did not
return as soon as it should have done.
and DR.. Horton went to the field TO
ascertain the cause Of the DELAY. r" lie
found that no steps had been taken
toward loading the wagon. In tho
course OF conversation Il quarrel
spranS up between the men. and DR..
Horton struck Bennett with a cane.
The latter drew Il pistol and fired at
his antagonist, striking him in the
abdomen. lie fired again, but by this
time Horton had begun to fall, aud
the second shot missed him. lie died
almost Immediately. Bennett made
no attempt TO escape, and shortly after
the occurrence was arrested and sent
to jail in Lancaster. both men have
large connections in the ncighborhood.
and great deal Of excitement still
prevails. They had been OH very III
timatc and amicablc relations UP to
the day before the occurrence. Ben
nett IS quite IL young man, and has
borne Il good character.
' lNGERSOLL, SILENCED.--Shortlv after
KoDcrt G. Ingcrsoll was defeated in
his race for the govcrnorship Of Hi
nois,- he was one day boistcrously and
b'asphcmously proclaiming his inf
deity on board Ola railroad train be-
tween Chicago and Peoria. After being
for some time Extensively volublc, he
turned to Il gentleman near him and
dciiantly demanded, "1'cll ne of one
good and great public result that
christianity has ever accomplished" 7"
ihc gentleman, nOl wishing TO open
an argument with the boaStCr, hcsita-
ted to answer. The train had stopped,
and all were silent in the car. Just
then an old lady ofcighty years, who 81, t
just tbelind Mr.. lngcrsoll, touched his
arm with her trembling hand and said,
"Sir, do not know who you are, but
/ think can toll YOU ono glorious
thing that Christianity has done"
"What is it, MADAME" said Ingcr- !
SOIL. ...a .'... .,r- .,...... .. - .,
at has kept Robert G.. Ingcrsoll
from being governor OF the great State
OF ,noa,n,,t all,nols!n us If liGhtning had that
effect would not have been greater.
lngcrsoll turned literally pale withrage
and remained silent. The grand old
woman lies under the prairie daisies
now, but her courageous act .''smclls
sweet. and blossoms in the dust"

years Of age, and her husband was
nearly fifty. The young wife now
comes forward with this statement
over her own signature:
"Untruthful and ridiculous accounts,

band, having been Published, l feel
that il is incumbent OH nc to give, in
my own defense, q true statement of

smith, who is about thirty years my
senior. two months ago, after a short
acquaintance. After a months four
we returned to his homo ut Reading.
His aggressive disposition and cause

actions, and everything that did was
reported to him. | rcbcllcd against
such treatment, and III a. fit of rage he
ordered nc from the house. This
was on Saturday, August 20. l put
on a plain travelling dress and came to
Philadelphia alone, leaving all my
possessions with him. Arriving hero
