HORRIBLE HOMICIDE,
A" OLD citizen Mur,I.r.d w,,,
An AK

On Thursday morning. pboul II
O'Clock, the startling intelligence ran.
luly passed from lip to lip that Mr.,
DaVId simmons, who kept n meat
market in West Jackson, had lust
been killed by negro man in his
employ named Granville Harrell
AS soon AS it was known that the re-
port was well founded, and being in
terested in obtaining the facts, we pro-
ceeded to the place Of this sad occur
renee, and, after interviewing two or
three reliable parties, CLEANED the fol-
lowing particulars:
The man Granville had been for n
Long time in the employ of Mr.. Sim
mons, ana there existed some trouble
in regard to their financial affairs.
rms seems to have broughtto the sur
lace the old Satan in the negro. On
Ihe morning Of the homicide they
were DONG some work about the
premises, and occasionally quarreling
over their differences; while thew
were thus engaged, and at a moment
when Mr.. S. was not expecting an
attack, the negro with vengeance in
his heart, took a common chopping
AK and dealt him murderous blow in
Ihe back Of the head, and another in
The forehead, crushing the skull in
oolh instances, which caused his
death in very short time. The ne.
gro ran OIL carrying the AK with him,
winch he still had when captured by
olllcer Fitzpatrick and others. BY
thls time excitement was running
nigh, and mob was gathering.
out the officer, recognizing the spirit
OF the law as to the protection of its
prisoner in such cases, hurried the
culprlt to Jail, and thus barely sue
ceeded in snatching him from the
hands Of the cnraged populacc who
probably would have instantly melted
out summary justice without Judge
or jury.
The following is the verdict of the
Jury of inquest
We the jury, empannecd to sit ON
inquest over the body of David Sim
mons, ST., find, after Il full and care
Eul examination, by the testimony
submitted to us, that he came to his
death by means of blows from an AK
in the hands of Granville Harrcll, and
we believe that the said Granville
Harrell is guilty Of prcmcditatcd muir

Brine for Reef and Pork.

To one hundred pounds OF beef take
eight pounds Of salt, five OF sugar. or
five pintS of mOlasses \Orleans Is best,
but any good will do), two ounces OF
soda, one ounce saltpetre, four gallons
water, or enough to cover the meat.
Mix part of the salt and sugar together,
rub each piece and place lt III the
barrel, having covered the bottom With
salt. When the meat is all in put the
remainder of the salt and sugar Ill the
water. Dissolve the soda and saltpetre
in hot water; add it to the brine and
pour over the meat; place boaru on
top OF the meat, with ct weight Suflclent
to keep it under the brine. Let the
pieces intended for dried beef remain in
the brine for three weeks, take out,
place in Il tub, cover with water, let
stand over night, string and dry. W hen
dried put III paper sacks, tic up tightly,
and hang in IL cool, dry, dark place, or
put in ali empty flour barrel and cover
closely. When hams and shoulders are
smoked, sprinkle with ground black
p"per and put away III the same
banner. Boil brine, skim well, let cool,
and pour over the bouy pieces left.
these are good boiled and eaten either
l.ot or cold, and they will keep for
several months. Tongue may be
picked with the beef. Brine made the
same way, with the addition OF two
pounds more of salt, is good for hams
and shoulders. Brine for picked pork
should have all the salt ii will dissolve
aud peck or halt-bushel III bottom OF
barrel. If pork is, salted III this ndnner
it will never spoil, but the strength OF
the brine makes it necessary to SAT- the
hams and side-meat separately.
Pork when killed should be thoroughly
cn0led before sailing, but should not
remain longer than one or two days.

Concealed Weapons.
West Point Sews.l

The Columbus Index wants a law
made to decrease crime in Mississippi.
1t makes no suggestion, however, as to
the means to be adopted OF decreasing
it. The same paper also says that the
law in regard to carrying concealed
weapons, is not enforced anywhere in
the State, and asks that the laws be
enforced or repealed. In this cOnnec-
ton we would say that the concealed
weapon law will never be strictly en-
forced in this or any other State, unless
the law should go further and give
officers the right to search every man
to ascertain whether he had concealed
weapons on his person or not, and such
u law would be absurd even if it were
not unconstitutional.
But when pistols and knives are
fourished around generally, in the very
face Of the officers of the law as is
sometimes the case, then it would be a
very proper occasion for the arrest and
punishment of such parties. Really we
doubt the expediency of the law
mentioned, to accomplish the purpose
for which it was enacted, to wit: To
decrease crime. The law has tendency
to divest the sober, orderly citizen Of
the proper means Of defence, and it gives
the Duily anu coward terrible auEdn-
tage over him, for the latter class will.
continue to carry concealed weapons
regardless of all laws on the subject,
and in nine cases of murder out of ten,
the murderer is a coward at heart.
There is no doubt of this, and ref1ec-
ton will convince any one of its truth.
Of course we do not refer to homicides
committed in self defence. We speak
OF the criminals who wear the striped
garment in our penitentiary, convicted
Of homicide in some Of its degrees, as
we'll as those red handed murderers
who by some chance or other escape
both the gallows and the prison walls,
They are towards and hence they are
dangerous. No brave man will take
his fellows life on slight provocation,
nor in any unsuspectiDg moment.
Then is it wise to make it an offence
for carrying concealed weapon, when
its possession might probably be tbs
means not only of saving Il valuable
life, but of ending worthless one?
This, gentlemen, should be seriously
considered before the Legislature takes
any other step in reference to concealed
weapons. q
