The young gentlemen Of Dew

few evenings ago on receiving Wis

after they had retired to rest their
weary limbs after the labors of the
day. Hastily taking in the sltua.

lively in the dark putting on cloth
ing, tugging at boots, brushing and
combing, etc. etc.-u length, hav-
ing completed their toilet, as well
as they could in the dark, they
emerged, arrayed in their best, to
find that the young ladies', like an
gels OF mercy, had departed-thcir
mission having come to an end.
They had vanished. Striking a
light, the boys returned to their
sanctum, when the following dia-
loguo was overheard by your cor
respondent:
W. What's that you have on? ?"
Il. Its my vest, and I'll be d. d

EDITOR OsCEoLA TIMEs-Dear
Sir: Allow me to correct an error
into which YOU fell in last weeks
issue of the TINES:
In your article on the subject OF!
the delinquent land law, you say
" The Clerk after the first twelve
months colltcis the delinquent and
accrued tax withoat giving bond,
&C.. g." and that che (tho clcrk)
receives tAe pcrquisitrs that Of right
belong to the Sheriff" Now, by
reference TO Miller's Digest of the
Revenue Law, Sec. l5i, yoI, will
fad that the Clerk merely makes
ont and delivers to the party re
deeming land, n iiotcmeat Of the
amount Of tax due; the party re.
dccming, then pays over the amount
due into the County Treasury, and
takes duplicate receipts, one Of
which is filed in the CLERKS Office,
and charged to Treasurer When
the Collector goes to Little Rock
TO settle, ne takes with HIM the
amount due the State and receives
his 3 per cent commission. Tie
Cityk 6scs not cslifd enc doNvoi ne tor,
and If you have been so informed,
you have been imposed upon.
am not candidate Tor Clerk, or
for Deputy Clerk, and have here
fore no personal interest in this
matter, but write this in simple JUS
uce to, at least, one CountyClcr5,
Mr.. Hale, who has too often been
uniustly charged with having done
what the law expressly says he
shall not do. Your friend,
IIrGu Il. Mo'VEIGH,

doubtless the intention of the kill
crs to slaughter Martin, who was a
boon companion OF Burgetts. The
bullets failed then, but this time
bnckshot cilectuaIIy completed the
job.
TIE WAY 1T WAS DONE.
Martin has for some time past held
serious grudge against Mr.. Miller,

cned his lie on more than one oc-
caslon. Miller was prepared for
emergencies aid expected a combat
at any moment. Martin On Satur-
DAY evening last, in company with
Mr. Grider, lett the old Jesse Gri-
der plantation, where he had been
employed, on horseback, rather un
der tho influence of liquor. The
two rode over to the llarklerodes
place, which is managed by Nr.
Miller, and whore the latter keeps
Il store. Expecting trouble, Mr..
Miller appeared with n shotgun.
Mr.. Order begged Millor not to
shoot, and said the difficulty could
easily be settled without boodshed
Miller thercupon brought his gun
to y present arms, but Martin at
chat moment
DREW AND COOKED MS SIX SHOOTER.
Miller was not long in getting his
gun up to his shoulder again, and
lie turned her loose. Sixteen buck
shot went straightway INTO the face
of MARTA, and took nearly all the
top Of his head of. He was not
over ten feet from the end Of the
gun mulzie. OF course he fell, and
in a few moments died with hs
boots on.
His pistol was soon after picked
