Moses Henderson, (colored) of
Pocahontas county, was taking a
load of hay to the barn, and was

shoulders striking the ground first.
His neck was broken and he died

The Raleigh county Inder con-
tains the following: Last week W.
c. Roles, of this county, caught in a
steel trap a very large female wolf
The animal had been committing
depredations ON the sheep folds Of
the citizens of the neighborhood in
which it was caught for some time
1t was thought the depredations
were the work of dogs, as the wolf
had become very daring and fond
ness had sprung up between it and
the dogs of the neighborhood, for
they were often known to be together.
The wolf was caught in Mercer
county-just over the line.

years old, having been foaled in
1852. He was a United States cav
airy horse, but was captured from
Gen. Banks by Jeb. Stuart's cavalry
in 1861; he was shot in the foot at
Bolivar Heights, and went through
various hands. He finally recovered,
and passed into the possession of
Mr.. Jacob S. Moler, a member of
General Rosser's brigade, who kept
him until he died.
A dispatch to the Intelligencer
from Elizabeth, Writ county says:
This little town is all torn up by a
scandal of the most sensational order.
The step-daughter of prominent
county official, a beautiful young girl
of about eighteen years, of bright
and vivacious nature was led astray
and, when unable longer to conceal
her shame, she charged prominent
young member Of the Salvation
Army, which has a firm hold here,
with being the cause of her down
fall. Her step-father charged him
with the ruin of the girl; hot words
ensued and a fight occurred on the
public square in which several par
ties took part. The young man it
is said, proved to the satisfaction Of
all concerned that he was not alone
responsible and go the matter rests.
The unfortunate episode has caused
more excitement than any occurrence
in this locality for many months.
