ROGERSVILLE.-TszeDhonee ,b

Married. On Thursday morning,
October 4th, at the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. N. F. Powell, by the
Rev. j. G. COwan, Mr.. Will A. Jones.
to Miss Maggie N. Powell.
On last Saturday, Henry Miser, Pat.
Gibson Monroe Collins, and perhaps
others, of HsncOck county, were in
Rogersville drinking pretty freely, as
We have it, and on Their return got in
20 quarrel, Miser and Gibson, especi-
ally. Through interpesition of friend
they were kept comparatively quiet I'M
til they reached the boarding house at
the Baltimore marble quarry. Soon
afterwards, however, the fuss was re-
newed and Miser slapped Gibson in the
face. They were kept apart for time,
but as soon as opportunity afforded
Gibson drew his pistol and shot Miser,
the ball entering the right side. 1t is
thought that the wound will probably
prove fatal. 1t may be proper to state
that neither of the parties mentioned
were connected in any way with the
marble quarry, but simply stopped for
the time at the boarding house.

A little racket among the colored
boys on the platform Sunday evening
caused some little excitement.
A four year old granddaughter Of
Lark Ford living about two miles from
town, fell into the well recently, and
was saved almost by miracle. She
was standing on the trap door, when
1t broke inward and the little girl fell
thirty-six feet to the bottom. There
waa about three feet of water in the
well, and the child would have been
drowned but for the fact that there
was an old bucket, bottom up, In the
well. The child climbed on this and
when discovered was holding up her
hands and calling in childish words
for help. There were other children
with her, who Immediately gave the
alarm, but 1t was fully three quarters
of an hour before the members of the
family succeeded in getting her out
She was not hurt.

Americans Abroad.

Mir i.at54eh.Fc, n London Trath
 Americans are essentially cosmopolitan, and they adapt themselves far more easily 10 new surroundings than we Eng lish. They are, moreover, more free from preludices. Of course, among ,o,- GOO 900 human beings there are some who are objectionable, bu, Americans on neutral ground, such as Paris, SwltIer- land, etc, are, as rule, A very great deal more appreciated than we are, and this, not because they are richer, but be- cause they are more pleasant. We, rather than they, are, am inclined to think, open 10 the rcproach of being un- endurabie. Amorgs, ourselves we get on very well, ba; with foreigners we are TO, so popular. Few Ame.lcaus remain long enough n England 10 go into so- eie,y. Those, however. who do, are generally well received, and ,heir man. ners contrast, with considerable adyan- ,age with those of very large number of Englishmen.
 l. IS rare that an American man IS not a good talker. He may have devoted more time 10 heaping up dollafs than to the cultivation of art, science, or liter ature, bu, he has gained much curious experience in his avoea;Ion, which he is ready 10 impart, while on general matters there is A freshness. yhrewdness and mental activity, ofen allied with con- siderable humor, which makes his re- marks worthy of attention. Although the acr1nulaian of donNs my have been his paEtruiar mission, these is so- thing mean or pal,ry in his mode of thought: he IS a stauncn friend aud q pleasant acquaintance. Whether he has won his fortune honestly 2. dishonesty, he knows how to spend |, nobly. In this island of ours, where eonveniionalities are law and gospel, i, IS relief to mee, with any one who does not bow down before them, and who has some sort of individuality. To term this individuality vulgarity is to show ignorance of the meaning of the word, or rather 10 aceept the meaning attached to i, by those who are themselves innz;ely vulgar.
