PARIS, Jan. 10.-Tbe scenes about the

trial of Madame Clevis Hughes were in
the highest degree disgraceful. When
the doors opened the most unseemly
Gro ding and crushing occurred. Every

carried luncheoDs and went prepared to
stay all day. The hum OF conversation,
enlIvened with frequent sallies OF Wit
and outbursts of laughter, pervaded the
court room greatly detracting from the
dignity OF the proceedings. The papers
complain of the state of the law and

DEATH OF RoBr. ]. PoRTEEFIELD.-Mr. Robt.
]. Paterfleld, who was well-known here where
he lived for some years. and was for time q
member of the firm of Porterfield & May drug
gists. died suddenly on Thursday night. Nov.
18th, aged SO years, leaving two children. The
Greenbrier Independent of Thursday last gives
the circumstances of his death as follows:-
Last Thursday night, just after dark, the
dead body OF Mr.. Robert j. POrterf1eld, who
lived on the Turnpike, about four miles West
of Lewisburg, was found lying in the road, in
the direction of his home, near the residence of
Mr.. Austin Handy, by eolored man. The
horse which he had been riding was found
standing near the roadside. a short distance
alb cad, with one of his hind feet hung in the
bride reins. The deceased had left town about
ark and it was not more than half an hour
from that time before his body was found, as
above stated. The impression prevails tn 1t he
fell dead from his saddle. and that his death
resulted from hemOrrhage of the lungs. There
was no mark or hurt discovered on his person
except slight bruise on the side of his head,
which, it is believed, he received in his fall
There being no evidence of violence, an inquest
was deemed unnecessary. About SS5 in cur
rency was found on his person, which he had
collected during the day, at Ronceverte. The
deceased was on his way homeward when he
was thus suddenly and without warning strick-
en- down."

every one to do. Much-needed improve

suggesting themselves. Let no time be
lost in selling every opportunity which

crease the attractiveness of our town and
build up her material interests. Those
most active and successful in this direction
will prove themselves the greatest benefac-
