the apartment where the body was
placed to cllango the cloth, was heard

pale as q ghost and terribly frightened.
"What is the mattcr?" inq,fired one
of the gentlemen. x

Surc enough, the man who 4was
thought to be dead was alive. His

Tho blow upon his head from the
horses foot had dcadcned all action of
his brain and nerves. The fact that

its numbness and he received a now

Another case Of resuscitation that
attracted considerable attention from

comrades, believing that he was q

an electric battery on board, and with
it he gave tho supposed dead man

was saved tho trouble Of reading tho
funeral service.
SHOWING THEIR TOCI<INGs.-Ladies
who want to have their feet always
dressed III the latcst'and most cXpcn-
sivc style Of stockings pay us high as
one hundred and twenty-five dollars
per dozen for them. The embroidered
ones, which are, of course, the most
expensive, arc obviously meant to be
seen, asa lady wearing such may often
bc observed sitting in II crowded piaz-
~ with one leg (the use Of the word
"llmD' would be supcriluous in the
c:se OF SO obvious All extremity

Is this peculiar vanity confined to one
sex. a man who has had for several
years abundant opportunities for OBJ
serving such demonstrations has, in
calling my attention TO the fact that
many men pay cNtravagant prices for
fancy stockings, told nc to watch
how, when sitting, they invariably give
their pantal"ons Il hitch below tho
knee SO us to expose rs much Of their
feet as possible, protrudiny the latter
at tho same time. Ofcourse all this is
done when tho ladies arc present;
they don't waste such poses on each
other. remarked to q gentleman

DIED FROM yER-EXERTION.-On
Thursday last, Trial Justice Lewis, as
coroner, was summoned to hold an
inquest over Anderson Watson, color
ed. whose death was brought about in
tho following manner: On the day in
question, Thomas II. Glenn and j. T..
Carroll, deputies Of the sheriff, were
out serving papers, and when near
Mr.. John NJ. Th0masson'S residence,
some seven miles from town, on tho
Kings Mountain road, they cspicd
Anderson Watson, colored, who was
recognized rs Il man for whom the
sheriff had a warrant on tho charge Of
COW stealing. Mr.. Glenn hailed him,
when he started to run through q
field. lie was pursued by both the
deputies, and, as the evidence states,
Glenn fired his pistol at him three
times, but without effect. Hc con-
tinucd to run in the direction of
thickct, and when he reached the edge
of it, he fell from exhaustion. Mr..
Thomasson, hearing the report Of the
pistol, came up from his field, and was
the first to reach the PROSTATE negro.
Pcrcciving his condition, he sent for
campior, and cndcavored to restore
him to consciousness, but it was soon
discovered that he was dead: a Jury
ofinqucst was impauclcd, of which
Mr.. Il. ID. Smith was foreman. The
evidence elected was substantially as
above given.
