ed for supposed implication in the murder
of young Tice, at Veto Ala, were released
Wednesday, but certain parties believing
them guilty investigated, found proof and
narrated them. BY threats the fourteen
year old son of WeStly Warren, lynched
Tuesday, was forced to discl ose particulars
OF the crime, which were substantiated by
his mother. The goods and mule stole were
found in the places indicated, and
Walker and Reid were taken
on Thursday night and hanged.
They confessed fully before being hanged
but expressed no feelings OF regret. The
plot was deliberately formed and executed
and included the killing Of J. NJ. Neal, who
fortunately left the store two hours before
the killing occurred. The parties were
traced to Warren's house by tracks in the
mud. The other negro implicated is being
held for farther proof.

NEW FOR NORTH CAROLINA.
Rival Lovers Settle Their differences
BY the Marquis OF ofQueensbury Rules
and Eyade the Law.

CONCORD, N. c., June 22.-Jsmes Meares,
of North Carolina, and AlonZo Hoffman, of
South Carolina, two highly connected
young men, fought duel at Harrisburg,
an out-of-the.way little village between
Charlotte and Concord. They were both
in love with young lady living at
Kings Mountain, and while visiting her
they had slight misunderstanding. After
leaving the parlor Hoffman, it is under
stood, asked Meares where a note could
reach him that night. Neares gave him
his address Soon afterward he received a
Formal Challenge
from Hoffman, which he Immediately ac.
cepted, and replied that his second was au-
thoriged to make all arrangements for a
speedy meeting. The two seconds got to-
gether, and by o'clock at night all the ar.
rapgements were made for duel in the
morning at daybreak, in secluded grove
about two miles from Concord. Meares's
second, he being the challenged party, and
under the rules of the code having the
choice of the mode of settlement. decided
that the duel should be fought according
to the
Marquis OF Queensberry Rules.
At first the other side objected to slug
ging match as unauthorized by the code
but careful investigation proved to their
was not decreed against the code, and &C.
cordingly the arrangements were made
The parties met promptly at daybreak
Efforts to effect a compromise on the field
were unsuccessful. Only the surgeon and
seconds of the comhatants were present.
The men disrobed. The South Carolinian
weighed $50 pounds, and his adversary
l52. They were otherwise well matched.
After Fighting Five Minutes
the North Carolinian was knocked to the
ground He got up again and pluckily re-
sumed the fight. They fought exactly l6
minutes by the watch of the surgeon, and
at that time both were completely winded
and the seconds interfered, Both were
badly punished, the North Carolinian hav-
ing the bridge Of his nose broken. The
combatants expressed themselves satisfied
and shook hands before leaving the field.
Although warrants were out for them for
fighting duel, the law officers decided
that they would not arrest them, as the
duelling law names pistols, guns or swords,
and, as the parties used neither, they do
not come within the meaning OF the law.
Hoffman left for South Carolina to-day.

Every Day Lessons in Farm Life.

Affair in every village may strike the reader as an absurd idea, but according to my views 1t is an excellent one. Let me explain. In all small villages there are one or more stores where the entire neighborhood go to buy supplies. On rainy days and during the winter these stores are more or less crowded with farnaers and their sons, who discuss their farms, crops, etc.
 We have such community here. At onefof our stores was hung one day big potato, labeled with the name of the variety, also the name of the man who grew it. Now, every one who walked into that store was attracted by this fine specimen, and it was not many days be- fore other farmers brought in sample potatoes, corn and the like. In each case it was the best the farm afforded. In this way farmers in the neighborhood became interested in this agricultural show; it melted them to improve their seed and buy or exchange new varieties with each other.
 can cut ten shocks more of drilled corn in one day by the following plan than can in the old way, viz. carrying it all in the arms. After making the t.bnck, ' cut all the corn within reaching dis. tance and set it around the buck. Afte, this has been done cut the rest of the corn that belongs to the shook and throw it on in piles, then take these piles by the tops and set them around the small shock that had been started before.
 None but the laboring man who has suffered actual pain while husking corr can appreciate what cure for cracked and chapped hands means. Do not wasf your hands during cold weather oftenel than can be helped. Grease them il the morning with clean sheep's tallow melt it and rub it in thoroughly; thu more grease you can rub in the better At noon give them another greasing ant at night wash the hands. My word fo it, by this plan man can husk- corr with pleasure.

A Wife's Admiration.

Sir Arthur Wellesley, before he be- came the Duke of Wellington, married 8 charming Irish Lady, Catherine Paken- ham. They had been long attached to each other, and the marriage took place just after he had returned from his bril- liant career in India. During his ab- sence of eleven years she never wrote to him, yet her affection was constant.
 When Lady Wellesley was presented to Queen Charlotte, her Majesty said, "I am happy to see at my court so bright an exam99 of constancy. But did you really rfer write one letter to Sir Arthur during his long absence ?''
 "No, never, your Majesty"
 "And did you never think of him p
 "Yes, your Majesty, very often."
 She was proud of her husbands repu- tation, but prouder of the fact that he merited it. Just before her death, she was visited by friends who found hel lying on sofa in room filled with the magnificent presents of cities, kingdoms and sovereigns. When the visitors gazed upon them with admiration, tho Duchess exclaimed, with veal voice:
 "All tributes to merit There's tho value all pure, no corruption suspected even {! That could not be said of tn, Duke of Marlborough !"- Youths Com poniosa.

CHRLSTMAS EVE.

God bless the little stockings
 All over the land to night. Hung in the choicest corners,
 In glow of crimson light. The tiny scarlet stocking,
 With hole in the heel and toe, Worn by wonderful journeys
 The darlings have had to go. And heaven pity the children,
 Wherever their home may be, Who wake at the first gray dawning, An empty stocking to see! Left in the faith of childhood
 Hanging against the wall, Just where the dazzling glory
 Of Santa's light will fall ! Alas, for the lonely mother
 Whose home is empty and still, Who has no scarlet stockings
 With childish toys to fill! Who sits in the swarthy twilight, With her face against the pane, And grieves for the little baby
 Whose grave is out in the rain! Oh, the empty shoes and stockings, Forever laid aside, Oh, the tangled, broken shoe-string That will nevermore be tied Oh, the little graves at the mercy Of the cold December rain Oh, the feet in their snow-white sandals That can never trip again But happier they who slumber, With marble at foot and head, Than the child who has no shelter, No raiment, nor food, nor bed. Yes heaven help the living Children of want and pain, Knowing no fold nor pasture Out tonight in the rain

CANAAN CONN.,. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12 1885,

the last triumphant note I fell forward on the desk in swoon. When recovered, I found myself at home in my own room, with the rector, the doctor and my parents there, and heard the doctor say:
 ''I told you he would, dear madam; knew he would"
 "Thank God l" murmured my mother. My dear boy, how we have feared for you !"
 What a difference I was courted and made much of. "Genius P and ''Very clever!" and Delightful talent l" such were the expressions I now heard, in- stead of ''stupid Awkward !" and s'un- fit for anything r
 My father bought fine instrument, and was the hero of the village for months.
 It was some days after that Christmas that ventured to ask about the rector's niece.
 My dear boy" said my mother; 'the like was never heard. We saw you there and wondered what you were do- ing; but as soon as we saw you with the bow, we knew you must be the person there'd been so much talk about; and then, when the anthem came, and we all left off singing and they all left off playing, and only you and Miss Cecilia kept on, wo were all ill tears. l saw even the rector crying; and, poor girl, she seemed as if in dream, and so did you; it was dreadful for me to see you with your eyes fixed on her, watching her so eagerly. And then to look at her, staring up at the stained-glass win dow as if she could see through it, miles and miles away into the sky. o, I'm sure the like never was; and then, when you fell down, screamed, and your father ran up and carried you down and brought you home in Farmer Slade's four.w heeler."
 After this I had an invatation to go up to the rectory, and there in the long winter evenings we used to sit; and while I played. she sang. Oh, those happy times when she love1 me, but only as dear friend; and I loved her as never loved before or could love again. I do not know the kind of love had for her. was but little older than she was, but I felt as 8 father might feel to his daughter-a sweet ten- derness and love that made me pitiful toward her. I knew she loved man unworthy of her, and think, at times, she felt this herself, and knew felt it.
 Twas perfectly free of the rector's house at last, and we used to find in our music @ means of converse that our tongues could never have known. An me-those days Gone Alas they are gone.
 She left us at last, and in few years her motherless child came back in her place. and as again I sit in the old rec- tory parlor, years and years after my first visit, with her daughter beside me, singing-but, alas not with her mothers voice-all the old memories flood back on me, and feel g grateful, calm joy in the openly-shown respect and affection of the daughter of her whom I loved so silently, so tenderly and so long.
 I sit in the old seat in the church now and play, and, once in the year, the old anthem; but the voice is gone that filled the old church with glory that day. feel, as the sounds swell out and the strings vibrate under my withered fingers, am but waiting to be near her under the old yew-tree outside, and, it may be, nearer to her still in the longed- for future.
