OK Tuesday last, says the DE Soto
Democrat of the 18th inst, one Of the
oHt-houses adjoining Mr.. n. Ricks's
residence, was discovered 10 be on
fire. There was no man on the place
at the time, and Miss Willie Kicks, a
delicate and accomplished young lady,
proved herself equal To any emergency,
AT once realizing that the premises
could only be saved by prompt action,
she assembled a tree, climbed on the
roof, tore off the shingles with her
bare hands, and eKtinguished the FIRE.
This was truly remarkably heroic
feat, when it is remembered that Miss
Kicks is apparently a very delicate
young lady, probably not weighing
enc hundred pounds. 1t is still more
astonishing when It is remembered
that the tree which she so unhesits-
nngly assembled was a bots arc,
with many thorns, and calculated to
strike less heroic sou! with terror at
the very idea of attempting such a
feat. By her prompt action, she saved
about $4,000 worth Of property, for
which her father and the insurance
companies should everlsstingly feel
grateful 10 her We are glad TO say
that the only injury she received was
a slight laoeration on her hands BY
the thorns or shingles. An aunasiBg
incident was the fact that young
gentleman who attempted to 60 to
her assistance was unable 10 ascend.
The Mansfield FIRE department shOnld
lat once make Miss Willie an honorary
member, and present her with gold
medal.

The Democrats in the FiFth Con-
gFessional District, by The very an
wisr action Of 9 fen designing ofice-
seekers, aave two candidates ID tho
FIELD for Congressional honOrs--tlen.
J. Floyd King, the present incumbent
and nominee Of tho regular Demo
cratic convention, and Mr.. BOataer,
the bolters candidate. The Fifth
District has always been considered
debatable ground BY the Republicans,
and we are very sorry to see this split
IN the Democratic ranks At this very
particular time, as any dissension in
the ranks Of the party is more than
likely to work great damage and en-
danger Democratic success, and open
the field to such Independents as Col.
y. lib. Walton, who, If reports be true,
has Congressional bee buzzing in
his ear So We hope that the breach
between our Democratic brethren of
the Fifth District IS not of such mag
nitude as to preveat an amicable set
Element, and thereby insure the cleo
tion of sound Democratic Repre-
sentative TO the Forty-ninth Congress,
We also fear some trouble in the
First District, as We see that Mr.. Carrie
ton Hunt, the present Representative,
has accepted a nomination from the
hands of body of men styling them
selves Independent Democrats, but
in fact are only a small coterie of
sore-heads. who design TO dictate
terms to the regular Democratic party
and force them to accept their views,
regardless of consequences. Bnt Mr..
TheO. S, Wilkinson, lsrge sugar
planter and staunch Democrat, of
Plaquemines parish, has announced
himself as q candidate, subject to the
decision of the regular Democratic
convention, aud, if we mistake not,
will receive the nomination; for, in
our opinion, Mr.. Hunt has added
nothing to his strength by his too
previous action in accepting nOmi-
nation from clique of men who have
no following except their cheek. Gen
tlemen who profess to be Democrats
should look to the regular OrgRniza-
ton for fayOrs, not to Independent
bodies. You see /.

in this parish grows glOomier. Some
people declare that this wear will be
worse than 1881, and others say that
on a great many places the yield will
net exceed a bale to ten acres, so de-

forebodings, and enough to put pee

isolated position in the extreme western
limit of Virginia. For some weeks, a
fatal disease has been prevalent there
and the number of deaths was terrible
The nature of the disease is as yet I'M
defined, but it is supposed to arise
from poisonous water DrOuth there
for month nearly dried all the streams,
springs and wells, and it is supposed the
water left is impregnated with mineral
poison. A reliable correspondent tells a
pitiful story and says, in some cases, as
many as four cOrpses were found in a
