look for any good from this Legis-

for nothing else but the election Of a

will most likely be the man. And

Don't neglect, farmers, toseatter a
handful of small grain or other food
occasionally around your house or
barn, during the severe weather, for
the benefit of cartridges and other
birds. The cold weather is severer
ON them than you, for it is impossi-
BILE for birds to gather subsistence
when the ground is covered as it is
now with snow. Take care of them
during the winter, and you will be
amply repaid next summer.

The Knoxville papers announce
the killing, on the 18th instant, at
Huntsville, Scott county, of James
N. Ray, formerly. of that city, and
pretty generally known throughout
East Tennessee. Accounts differ as
to the manner or the killing. One
version is that the murderer Phillips
had insQlted Rays wife, about which
an alteration occurred. Ray had
pistol in his hand, but before hA could
use it, Phillips split his head open
with an axe, Another report says
the murder was cold gblooded, Phil
lips knocking Ray down and then
cutting and otherwise mutilating
him. Phillips surrendered himself to
the officers of the law. Ray was a
half-brother of Congressman L. G.
Houk, and possessed much of his
sort of ability and generous heart
edness. Mentally and pH sically he
was man who might have received
