Arrested for Burglary.

About three weeks since. it will he
remembered that Brown & Dickson's
store was entered by burglars, and the
safe Of Mr.. Long, the jeweler, was
robbed. Since then Mr.. Long was
seen making a skeleton key, which
aroused the suspicious Of Messrs.
Brown u Dickson, when they quietly
set n watch On their house. On
Tuesday night, when the house was
closed, about ten o'clock, Mr.. Van
hook, one of the statesmen, was left in
the house. In a few minutes after
quiet was restored he heard some one
opening the back door. He kept
quiet until the burglar entered well
into the house, when he fired at him,
missing him a few inches. The man
ran out and, after going a few steps,
was commanded to halt by Marshal
Mcdonald; but he needed not the
command and kept running until he
ran into the arms of the officer, who
collared him, and found him to be Mr.
Long, who was so badly frightened
that he could hardly speak. He
begged piteously to be released, say
ing he was of good family and this
was his first ofense. Mr.. Long has
been sleeping over the store with Mr..
Ed. Ing, one of the statesmen, but has
not carried 4 key to the store. III a
conversation with us, Long said that
they intended to move their bed into
the store to sleep this fall, and he
made the key so that he could have
free access to the room. lie waived
examination yesterday and goes to
Jail to await trial. We forbear COM
ment or publishing rumors, not wish
ing to prejudice the public against
him before his trial. He came here
from Mississippi some months since.

InCendiarism,

Last Monday morning, between
three and four o'clock, an attempt
was made to burn the large frame
building in Happy Hollow" which
is occupied in the lower rooms as a
butcher shop and saloon, and in the
upper rooms by one or two whites and
a number of negroes. The fire was
started with a lot of chips in a buck.
ct, setunder the house at place where
it was not likely to be seen. The
smoke penetrated between the wealth
erboarding and plastering, and thus
entered the upper rooms, which awoke
some of the occupants, who gave the
alarm and put out the fire before
much damage was done. Had it got
under Roadway, the northeast side of
Main street would probably have been
swept, as there are number of wood
en- buildings adjoining. In this con-
nection we take occasion 70 urge the
Board Of Mayor and Aldermen to
have another public well dug imme-
diately; for, if this fire had gotten un-
der Roadway, the well we have could
not have been used, on account of its
proximity to the FIRE. Let US have
another well.

Jos c. Lopez, aged forty-three years.
/ | knew her worth as an intelligent,
pure woman and was blessed by the
good influence of an intimate compan.
ionship. Almost daily l saw her I'M
mdrmeringly suffering, thinking more
of the happiness of her family and
friends, than her incessant atflictien.
She was true friend and christian
mother Ready when lin health to
administer TO the suffering and diseas-
ed, she proved her faith by her
work, and when the pestilence visited
our town, appalling stout hearts, car
rying terror and dismay to all. she
fearlessly administered to the wants of
the stricken. andIby the soothing touch
of her gentle hands robbed disease of
some of its painful accompaniment.
She departed this life without strug-
gle; peacefully she fell asleep and
entered in His rest. 81 heard Il voice
from heaven saying, Blessed are the
dead, who die in the Lord, from hence
forth, yea, saith the Spirit, for they
rest from their labOrs and their works

christian citizen without reproach.
Exemplary in his walk, irreproacha-
HE in every transaction with his fel-
low man.: he has left legacy of up
rightness and integrity more desirable
than pearls or precious stones. Hav-

them with Il scrupulousness admirable

men blacken their record by deeds of
evil. As lie lived. so he died, honor
ed and respected by everyone who
knew hin. Though he was for many
months declining and suffered intense
ly, like a good soldier, armed and
equipped for conquest, he with the
christians faith has made the good

Atli<patch from Washington says
'the surprising census returns from
the Southern States, showing large
gains, are giving rise to strong suspi-
cions of fraud. In nearly every South
ern city and village an increase of
from 30 to 40 per cent. Is reported in
ten years, while it is generally known
that with the exception of seine towns
in Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Texas
and Arkansas there has been no in
crease in the South by immigration,
either from the North or from foreign
countries" 1t is added that there is
reason for suspecting that "a precon-
eertel scheme. concOcted by Southern
political leaders, has been carried out
by the Southern census~takers to
fraudulently magnify the population
in order to maintain and increase their
proportionate representation in Con
gress." In this part of the So 18th we
believe the enumerators were
mostly Republicans, and yet the re-
turns show a large increase of popula-
ton. We believe the enumeration in
the South generally has been as cor.
rect as it well can be.
