best men as of the greatest importance to tree
institutions.
Washington. in his last annual message to
congress-, says: "Whatever arguments may be
drawn from particular examples. specifically
viewed. q thorough examination of the subject
will eyInce that the art of war is both compre-
hensive and complicated; that 1t demands much
previous study, and that the possession OF it. in
its most important and proper state. Is always
of great moment to the secretary Of q nstion.'''

EDITOR INTELLIGENcER:-I drop you, hastily,
the outlines OF q most terrible Tragedy that Vas
enacted near Waverly, last evening, in which
one man was killed and another MORALLY woun-
ded. The parties to the tragedy were, VIM.
Picket AMI Martin Ross, young farmers living
on adjoining farms, one and one-half miles
south Of this place. The particulars of the AZ
lair cannot be gathered at this writing, the gen.
cral impression beng that it was the outgrowth
oil jealousy or an insult offered the wife of Pick
ct by Ross. Ross being q single man. They
were both In Waverly. last evening, and ev,-
IDENTIFY anticipating trouble, as both purchased
cartridges for their pistols. They both went
home about 3 O'Clock, and about an hour later
met in the road. between their residences.
Ross approached Picket, and asked what it was
that he had said OF him. Picket's reply was u
fatal shot from his pistol, striking Ross in
the right breast. He then shot the second time.
Ross then fired. striking Picket through the
heart. instantly killing him. He discharged his
pistol the second line. the ball taking erec,
Just over Pickets right eye. Either shot would
have proved fatal.
Mr.. Picket leaves a young wife. having been
married about six months. Mr.. Ross is about
twenty-three years old, the eldest SON of 9
widowed mother.

Little Hayden was an unusually intelligent
child. OF an anectiona,e disposition. winning
manners and almost angelic patience under
severe affection. All who knew him loved him
and mourn his early death, though glad his
suder.ngs are ended, and that he has joined his
father and sister in that better land where all
is Joy and peace and love. His bsreaved mother
and relatives have the earnest sympathy OF
many friends. -
