BLACKBIRD, August 26.

Correspondence Of the GAzErTE.
Blackbird folks are very particular
how they let people hear of their
evil doings, lately. Too many corr
respondents, they say. Well proba-
bly, this may be true, but yet gossip
and news will be waited to the CORES
pondent's willing ears.
Will Hadley, a fourteen year old
boy, of Blackbird mills, offended his
mother in some way, and she at
tempted to chastise him. This the
boy resisted and threw the old lady
on her back in the road, and endea-
voring to cover her with dirt. j. A..
Parker hearing the old lady's cries
for assistance ran to her. When the
boy saw Mr.. Parker he turned on
him torrent of abuse, and called
him meddlesome intruder. Mr..
Parker then sw0re out warrant for
the boy's arrest, and gave it to Con.
stable Deakyne. When the constable
appeared to serve the warrant
Hadley's father informed Mr.. Par
ker that If he iParker) did not with
draw the suit, he would institute one
against him for against him for as
sultlng his boy. Sooner than 60 to
further trouble Mr.. Parker dropped
the suit and paid the costs.
There is quite q commotlon IN the
village over the disappearance OF q
gold watch. A lady who lives just
south Of the village, some time ago
took her watch to shop III Smyrna
for repairs. She requested a young
man Of Blackbird to bring her the
watch when it was repaired, as sh,
could not wait for 1t. This the younl
man did, but afterwards the time.
keeper disappeared and has not beer
found yet. A law suit will probabl,
be the result. t.
1t is with pleasure that I hear J

Of temperance, and will hereafte

Struck by Lightning.

A strange story comes from Union
county, Arkansas. Three young men
we're sitting on their horses in the road,
discussing the probabi tiles of rain
from a cloud which just then was rising
in the west. The youngest of the group,
named John Freeman, referred to the
drought and remarked that God who
would allow his people to suffer this
couldn't amount to much. As he was
speaking this the boys were encircled
with lightning and the speaker stunned
severely, though his companions
were unscathed. Recovering, he re-
newed the subject, bitterly reviling the
Supreme power. Instantly bolt of
lightning flashed from the cloud over
head, and the young man fell dead in
his tracks. Nearly every bone in his
body was mashed to jelly, while his
boots were torn from his feet and the
clothing from his lower extremities.
The body presented horrible appear
ance, being blackened and mangled
mass of humanity. His companions
were stunned and thrown on the
ground, but not seriously injured. The
funeral of the unfortunate young man
occurred the next day, and attracted a
large crowd, the larger portion of whom
were drawn thither by the rumor of the
strange events preceding the death of the
deceased. When the body was deposited
in the grave and the loose earth had been
thrown in until the aperture was filed,
and while the friends of the dead man
yet fingered in the cemetery, bolt of
lightning descended from cloud di-
rectly over the burial-place and struck
the grave, throwing the dirt as If plow
had passed lengthwise through it. No
one was injured, but those present scat
