Cooper, the Town Marsha
OF fsovissgtOn Killed by
JiEl Slaughter.

One Of the most exciting duels on
record took place in Coyington last
Saturday night, during which nine
shots were fired. Cooper, the town
marshal received three shots, from
the effects Of which he died shortly
after the firing deased. Slaughter,
his assailant, was arrested for muir
der. The affair grew out of diff
Guilty which occurred during the day
between Younger brother Of Slaugh-
ter and another boy Of the town.
The marshal seeing the young man
with gun and apprehendiug some
trouble, approached him with the
view Of arrcsting him. Abe, for
that is the young man'sname, raised
his gun and thrl tened to shoot him,
when the marshal seized the gun and
knocked the boy down. Later m
the evening, Jim Slaughter, took up
his brothers quarrel, and would not
listen to any explanation, which re-
suited in fist fight and finally end
ed in shooting match with results
as above stated.

EDtsniperancc au Russia.

The commission which is now sit
ting at St. Petersburg to consider
what measures should be taken
against the spread OF drunkenness in
Russia, will have 20 deal with a ques-
ton which has hitherto hallled all the
efforts both Of public aud private en-
terprisc in the empire. Some idea
of the extent Of the evil may be OBJ
tanned from the fact that in the year
1850 the receipts from the tax on
spirits amounted TO 225, ,0O0,00O rub
les. or more than a third Of the whole
revenue. Public houses have been
closed, private societies have cndoav-
ored TO induce the peasants to drink
tea instead Of brandy, the duties on
spirits have been largely increased;
but the consumption of brandy is as
great rs ever. Nothing observes
the st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Cologne Gazettc) is to be got
out of Russian peasant without
brandy; without II he cannot be pre-
vailed upon to strike bargain,
start ON a journey, or undertake any
work. Every holiday is an occasion
for drink. and in the Rus ian Church
there are about one hundred and for
ty-hye holidays in the year. The
peasants earnings are almost all
spent in brandy; and tIis is the chief
cause Of the famiues which periodi-
caily doyastate the country. when
last year subscriptions were collect
el lall over the empire to provide the
sm-heastcin provinces, which were
suffering from famine, with seed-coln,
II was proved that the inhabitants Of
those provinces had in that year paid
100000 rublas in taxes for the
braffy they had made for their own
consumption out of the corn which
would Otherwise have prevented
them from starving. st. Ja-.-- Ca

For rg0vs.

Boys throw aside pride as YOU
would a thick coat On hot day, and
lay hold of any string within reach.
Il may be only a thread at first, but
pull away and you may find a strong
er twine as the end of that, and then
a tiny rope, and then stout cable.
That is the way they sometimes
bridge a chasm. They frs. fy kite
across, audpullovcra Kite string then
q larger aud larger cord, until they
have made a substantial connection
between the shores. You wish to
bridge this chasm Of want that yawns
at your feet; and you will not find u
surer way, Don't wait for ga good
job, something YOU may feel proud
to accept, but fall in with very
humble work you may be able to find
near at hand.
Another point not less important
is, turn every penny TO the best ac-
count. Even pennies viii buy some
thing in these times of low prices,
and a dollar may be made to yield
a very good account Of itself if It's
spending is carGlly planed before
hand. Justtry, some day, when you
have a dollar to lay out, and see what
you can make il bring you in. 1t is
exactly the same thing when the far
mers boy or girl brings a dollars
worth Of produce TO the store to ex-
change for goods The great secret

for secretary Of State. We have a
rood man, Col. Jake F'rolich. filing
that Office, and think Il would be very
unwiae TO make a change. We are
satisfied that the people will not give
Jake up for sometime to come at least.
He fills that station ably and well; a
worthy man in every respect; COM
pctont, diligent and faithful in the
discharge of his duties-jist such a
man as the people love to honor and
cling to. Batesville Guard
