NARROW EsCAPE.-As Misses An
ma Belle Mason, Mary Hopkins, Mary
Stribbling and Virginia Lucas were
driving on Main street, last Saturday,
two colOred boys came up behind the
carriage riding two only partially
broken colts, and attempted to pass.
One of the colts became unmanage-
able and ran into the carriage, getting
one foot over the shaft, and in his eff.
forts to extricate himself pretty much
the vehicle. Several pas
sing gentlemen ran to the aid of the
young ladies, and succeeded in help
ing them to the ground safely. The
young ladies either displayed an un-
usual presence of mind or were too
much frightened to scream, for they
perfectly quiet. However,
we don't expect to see them grow
much for about seven years to come.
The smoke-house adjoining the resi-
dence of Mr.. Isaac Dust, who resides
near Unionville, this county, caught
fire from the spark of a passing en-
CINE, and was burned to the ground,
together with 800 pounds of bacon.
The house also took fire and before
the flames could be checked, the roof
and one end of the building was con-
sumed. We deeply sympathize with
Mr.. Dust in the heavy loss he has sus-
tanned.
Two colored men by the name of
John Henry Thornton, and George
Johnson, got into dispute over the
loss ola small sum of money on Tues
day night last. Thornton being much
the stouter of the two, soon had the
mastery over johnson, and gave him
a very severe clubbing. Johnson's
condition is considered critical.
From the Morgan Co. Papers,

with Mr.. w. G.. Catlett; he then pass.
ed through town late Tuesday even
ing, again trading horses with III.
Dolan, and got So to "boot." Several
men are after him and it is hoped he
may be caught.
LATER.-S1nce the above was put
in type the man was caught at or
near Isaac Wilson's. He was attempt
ing for the third time to trade horses,
when the officer, Mr.. George Cross,
arrested him. He was brought to
town and lodged in Jail. He gave his
