the President was broken 20 his mother
this forenoon. She had bsen so much
overcome by the accident which resulted
in the death of Thomas GsrGeld and
Mrs. Arnold, that the family had kept
from her the intelligence Of the intended
assassination, but this morning she ielt
better and spoke Of attending Mrs. Arm
ODDS funeral, which took place 1T Bed

ton, she rsmsrked: "Lsst SATURDAY
Thomas wss buried, to-day Cornelis; I
wonder who it will be next Sunday"
Mrs. Trowbride, at whose house Mrs.
Garfield was, then sent for Mrs. LARA.
bee, another daughter. When the latter
arrived, Mrs. Garfield inquired if she
was going TO Mrs. Arnold's funeral. Mrs.
LsrrAbee replied that she guessed not.
She could Lot as something had hap
pened, so the sisters thought it
best not to go What has happened?"

that the latest reports were favorable and
showed the President was resting quietly
and in fair way to recover. 'FWhen
did you hear of this?" queried Mrs. Gar
field. Yesterday noon, but we thought
best not to tell you. The news was not
SO favorable as to-day was the reply.
"You were very thoughtful; am glad
you did not tell me. I thought some
thing had happened, as l had noticed
your manners were peculiar toward me
during yesterday" She bore Up under
the intelligence with such fortitude that
she was shown the dispatches received
from Major Swain, Secretary Judd and
Harry Garfield, which read as follows:

A SENSATION.

New York. 4.-There was strange &C
tiyity about police headquarters last
night. Detectives Schmidt and Berger,
Inspector Thomas and others, were
closeted and in close communication
with Washington, but refused to answer
even one question. Superintendent Wal
ling was fitting about but would not say
word. Inspector Byrnes and deputies
preserve equal silence but said they ex-
pected important news from Washington
to-day. Detective McNsught is said to
have gone TO Washington hurriedly
about 11.25. SinguIarly enough Super
intendent WalliDg, during the evening,
sent out general slarm, ordering all of
the plattoons held in reserve until fu--
Their orders.

DIED.

At the residence of MT. A. Adams, son-in-law of the deceased, in South Dardanelle, on the 22d inst, Mrs. Jane Wilson, aged e2 years.
 Mrs. Wilson was born in Davidson county, Tennessee, June lI93, and re- moved to Arkansas In 1854. She was the mother of Capt. Robt. Wilson. of Russellville, Capt. Jos. Wilson, of Car don's Bottom, Mrs. Alb. Adams, of Dar> danelle, and Mrs. Mason, of Russell vile. Her life was long and full of good Christian deeds; death found her ready. Arkansian.
 On Saturday morning, July 30th, of Aux, JESSE, son of J. W. and Elizabeth Quinn, aged about - months.
 It is inexpressibly sad to chronicle the sickness and death of this little cherub during the absence from home of it's father. He left 1t a few days be- fore it's death in apparent good health, but returned to find the little one in the cold embrace of death. It is sad to part with one so young and fair, but it is all for the best. To the bereaved family we tender sympathy in their sore ffliction.

 Last week, in the interest of sani- tary reform, we offered suggestion in regard to drinking water. The Little Rock Gazette in noticing It, vouchsafes little advice, which, as 1t cannot possibly apply to us, we reproduce for the benefit of those for whom 1t was given. The Gazette says:
 The Russellville DEMOCRAT advises the people to be careful Of the water they drink. Those who are not accus- toned to drinking water should be care ful. Strange and untes ted liquids are apt to dissroy the coating of the stom> ach.
 s-sA civil action of considerable in- terest to school teachers was concluded in Esq. Bergman court this week. The case as we have heard it stated is as follows: Mir. Napoleon Heron is employed to teach public school in District No. ->-., few miles from Rus sellville. Among the pupils enrolled in this school ia the son of MT. Cotton living in the neiglborhood. With the books brought to school by the boy was geography in which he was assigned lessons by the teacher. One morning the boy came to school without his geography and stated as reason for not bringing it that his father was ops posed toI his studying the book and objected to his bringing it. The teach CT commanded him to bring the book next day. The boy didn't do it, and refused to take his place in the class when the geography lesson was called for. The teacher feeling that the time had arr rived for him to assert his authority in the school room, applied course of sprouts to the recreant youngster after the most approved fashion. Getting warmed up in his work the teacher left ample evidence of the whipping up- on the back of the child. The father feeling aggrieved had the teacher ar- rested for cruel treatment of his pupil. l.. W. Davis was retained by the plaint- if and w. c. Ford employed by the defendant. The trial came on Monday. A great many witnesses were examined, lengthy speeches made, and not until Tuesday morning was the case submit ted to the justice. Justice Berryman fined the teacher one cent and costs, amounting to about $l5.
