ccedcd TO take In the town. BY midnight
he was ready TO paint everything red.
Having an imaginary grudgc against a
saloon-kceper, he procured a pistol,
which he put in his hip-pocket, and
started out again. At ! o'clock, while
crossing Franklin street, he fell to the
ground Tie hip-pocket hit against u
stone, and the pistol went off, sending
bullet through the calf of the young

Some months ago, j. b. GilMer, Esq,
q lawyer and lard agent Of tins city,
went to Baltimore to look after an in
terest he had acquired in Eastern rail-
road property, that had been regarded as
almost yalueless. He was told there that
by recently formed combinations the
line had been sold at high figure, aud
the owners would realize thereon, his
share being at least quarter of million
dollars. He writes to friends now that
after waiting patiently he is in fair
way to realize all that he expected
and will be home soon. As Mr.. Gilner

offers to make his bail bond If one is de-
sired, White Is in jail yet aud no effort
win be made to give bond until his coun-
