Sunday afternoon Charles Tracy, re-
siding at No. 1905 West Third street,
hired horse and carriage from the
livery stables of E. r. Stroud, Nos. 1O9
and III West street, for the purpose OF
taking a drive in company with his
lady. The outward trip was made
without any seriols mishap, but on the
return trip they were not as successful.
Just after leaving Hare's Corner, the
horse became a little frightened and
made sudden bound forward. Mr..
Tracy had both reins in one hand at the
time, and when he went to separate, in
order TO check the horse, he gos them
cross.ways and pulled on the wrong
rein, which turned the horse to the side
of the road and overturned the occu-
pants into the ditch. He was not much
hurt and soon got upon his feet, and eX-
treated the lady from the mud and
broken carriage. She was severely
hurt, and her dress which was hand
some silk one was completely ruined by
the mud and torn into shreds by the
carriage. The carriage, which was a
jump seat, was a complete wreck, the
top being completely torn off and still
remains on the roadside. The remain
der Of the wagon, minus the top, was
righted and the party returned tu town,
much the worse for their afternoons

Mr.. McC. MCPHERSON, a former resi-
dent OF this city, but now of White
OAKS, New Mexico, who was on q
short trip to his friends in this city
about the latter part Of January, has
arrived safely at his home. The Daily
Golden Era Of the 11th inst, published
at White Oaks, thus speaks OF his re-
turn, together with the condition of the
mines and the banking institution, of
which he Is interested in, together
with several other Wilmington capital
lets.
IS. Mcpherson, superintendent of the
w. o Con. q. & s. NJ. & M. Co., came
in Thursday from the East, via. Eas
Vegas. Mr.. McPh erson did not relish
the idea of trip across in Llewelbings
hacks, so he bought pair of mules and
blackboard and came through in that
way He reports the roads in fine
condition and says he had delightful
trip down. Mac reports t.; 9 feeling of
his company as very buoyant, and says
stamp mill has been purchased for the
Little Mac mine, and that it will be
erected as soon as possible. The de-.
lays in getting such freight are great,
SO we may LOOK for itin the spring. The
comnany are 'til pushing develop
ment on the Little Mac, and will coll
tinue right along sinking and running
levels and preparing for stopping, so
that when the mill is erected, they
will be in POSITION to take out ore
RAPIDLY. The bank still hangs fire,
from the fact that there is no law in
New Mexico authorizing the incorpo-
ration OF private banks The company
hoped to see such a law enacted BY the
present legislature. They are thinking
seriously now CT organizing National
Bank there. This latter pan presents
many advantages over thar of pr,vae
and we sincerely trust
that they will execute the plan at once.
Mr.. Mcpherson has been very busy
since his return Strengthening up the

they are aiming, and there will be 40

On Saturday evening, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Adolphus Husbands, of Christi.
ana Hundred, were seated in their par
lor entertaining some friends, they
found themselves suddenly surrounded
by about seventy of their friends and
neighbors, bearing suspicious looking

his good lady finding themselves COM
pletely surrounded, surrendered their

of laughter.
After enjoying themselves in various
ways and listening to some finely exc
cuted music, all hands were called into
the spacious dining room, where
the table fairly groaned beneath its
load of good things.
Having satisfied the cravings Of tbe

wishing their host and hostess happy

sUPERSrIrION.
A Singular Law Suil-'Squire Ber.
toilette called Upon 10 Settle .
Case Of WitehYafS.

Last Saturday morning Squire Ber
toilette v as called to sit in judgment OF
a very singular case, the facts of which
are az follows:
A c0lored woman named Mary John
son, charged a colored man named
Walker with having bewitched or con.
jured her husband. The prosecuting
witness testified that in an upper room
| of the house in which she and her nus.
band resided, there was cOlOred wO-
man living, whom she described as be-
ing very attr active and she was fearful
that this woman might be tho means of
alternating the affections Of her husband
from her. She stated her fears to Walk
er, who told her that if she would cut
lock of hair Oft her husbands head
and give it to HIM, he would conju
her husband so that he "wOuld hate the
stairs that led to the WOman's room. "
The witness stated that she out the
hair off while her husband was asleep
and gave 1t to Walker; that ever since
that time her husband had bass eroHbled
with a misery IN his head. The witness
said that her conscience had troubled
fer ever since she committed the act,
aud after thinking the matter over sho
had determined to put the law on
Walker.
The husband WAS the next witness,
and his testimony was substantially
the same as that of his wife, He said
that he had misery in his head ever
since the hair was cut of, and he
thought it a serious thing for anyone to
have lock of a PERSONS hair, as many
men had lost their lives in that man
ner. He was certain that he had been
conjured, and was equally positive that
the prisoner was the man who had done
it. The Squire then told Walker that
he could make a statemen. ifhe wished;
when he said that all that had been
done was with the knowledge and con
sent of Johnson's wife.
He however denied that he had ever
put "spe.W on johnson, because
when Mrs Johnson gave Lin the lock
Of hair and nine Deedes, she had not
paid him any money and subsequently
he did not do anything. During tie
time that Walker was making mis-
statement, he kept passing his hands
over the front Of his face, across his
throat, down his sides and otherwise
acting in singular manner, but wheth-
er he was trying to conjure anyone is
not known. The Magistrate told him
that there was q law in this State that
made conjuriug punishable with fine
OF not more than 500, one hour in the
pillory and one years imprisonment,
and under that law he would require
him to furnis- $500 bail for his apl lear-
anCe at court.
