brothers, two young men who at once de-
termined to resent the wounded dignity of
their sister. Aiming themselves with sticks
and knives, they repaired to the depot, and
seeking out Joe Oliver at an opportune time
set upon him, suddenly plunging knife
into his throat The negroes then fled, but
were pursued by Jesse Oliver and his BROTH
er, the father and uncle of the unfortunate
lad.
When the negroes arrived at home their
mother ran out with musket, which she
handed to one of her sons, telling him to
shoot. He did so, and Jesse Oliver fell
from his horse shot through the arm. One
ofthe negroes was killed by the Oliver broth
ers and the other fled to the woods. The
third negro man, the girl and mother were
arrested and taken to Shellman on Saturday
evening under heavy guard. 1t is thought
young Joe Oliver will die, and Jesse Oliver
is dangerously hurt.

Young wives Comparing Notes.

Five or six young ladies, near rel
atives, began their matrimonial life
about the same time. Happening to
meet, one day, after having been mar
ried about ten years, they compared
notes, and talked about their hus.
hands.
A lawyers wife spoke with pride of
the brilliant success her husband had
won at the bar, Another lady pro-
tessed herself satisfied with the luxur-
ious home which her husband, large
manufacturer, had provided for his
family. A third, whose husband
stood well on change and in society,
said she wouldn't exchange places
with any of them. She had every
thing she asked for, and the "best peo-
pie visited her.
The conversation flowed on in this
strain until Que OF the party exclaim-
ed "Why, Molly, you haven't said
one word about your husband! Do
tell us something. We all know you
we've not very much in love with HIM
when you married him"
"But l am now" answered prompt
ly the lady who had listened in 81
lence. "Yon all know that William,
is neither brilliant nor rich, but ]
know that he is good and the longer
live, the more l value simple good
ness, especially in the man you live
with.

lam has not added penny to his for
tune but though we have had hare
struggle, we have enough, and oul
home is the sunniest in the coun
try. During our whole married life
my husband has not spoken one harsl
word to me, nor has he caused me 1
moments anxiety, and he has beer
as good as he coulde be all the time.
Her hearers lapsed into silence, ant
kept their eyes on their fancy work
The husbands OF several of then
were not amiable, nor were thier hab
its such as their wives cared to speal

20, don't go on that way, you wea-
fy me" sud the groceryman, as he
took wash dish of water and whisk
broom, and began sprinkling the floor,
preparatory to the regular semi-annu-
al sweeping out. "Tell me what the
commotion was over TO your house
last night? l heard your father had to
be dug out Of the coal pile under the

"Well, I'll tell you, 1t was all his
