A strange tale comes from Scotland Neck
full OF horror II true. We give 10 as we
heard 1t on the streets A short time since
Mrs. Bell died suddenly. and was buried
by her husband. Suspicious were aroused
rs to the cause OF her death, and parties
went TO the grave to exhume it, remains,
that an examination might be had. Bel,
met them at the grave with shotgun ana
threatented TO shoot them II tney
attempted to open the grave. Inc
crowd went of and got reinforcements,
returned, took Bells gun. and dug up the
corpse. The neck had been broken. Bell
was arrested and lodged in the county
jnil. 1t is said that he killed his wife be-
cause she would not sign deed. lie
told her TO sign, and upon her refusal he
became so onraged that he assaulted her,
with the result above stated. Bell has
lived in this section many wears, and Is
known as "Preacher Bell" lie was
formerly member OF the Primitive Bap-
tist Church, and we believe did preach for
a season. but he has long since ceased to
be n member OF this church, from which
he was expelled for his misconduct.

Some OF our sO-called Democratic contem-
porarleS are urging suicidal policy in the
incoming Congress. Every Jealous Demo-
crat should urge upon the party the i'm
portance OF concession and compromise.
Those outspoken free-trade organs like the
Comier-Journai are little less than luna
tics-ior free trade, pure and simple, is a
fraud and delusion. 1t is correct in the
DRY and eminently correct in moral ethics.
or In the moral department Of political
economy; but it is impracticable. Let us
have a severe pruning OF the internal reve-
nue. and let the tariff alone for at least ten

labOrious Investigations, and takes the local Enc

gross impertinenee, reckless calumny, stupid
Observation-Disclosures York Tribune.
SOCIETY everywhere exists to protect itself;
in the last analysis it rests upon physical force:
1t Is the concordat of the stronger. By the Law
or lts being existence is a struggle. In relation
to the so-called ''crmnal classes" it holds as it
were an iron grip at the throat of a ferociOus
beast. So long as human nature continues the
same, especially as misery grows more marked,
deepen sullen hatred of existing order the fact
cannot greatly alter. To relax this pressure lie
not mercy; in itself considered, 1t is not justices
1t is simply instant and sinister activity in crime.
